TORONTO, April 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duncan Park Holdings Corporation (the "Company") (TSXV: DPH) announced today that its board of directors has authorized the Company to apply to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") to de-list (the "De-listing") its common shares (the "Common Shares") from the TSXV.
The Company believes that the De-listing will enable it to preserve capital while pursuing opportunities within and/or outside the resource sector. The Company has not made any determination as to any future opportunities that it may pursue and there can be no assurances that any future opportunities will be identified or completed.
The Company previously received shareholder approval on a majority of disinterested shareholders basis, at its annual general and special meeting held on December 18, 2018, which provided the board of directors with the authority to apply for the De-listing.
The De-listing, if implemented, will result in the Common Shares not being listed or traded on any stock exchange, public market or trading platform. The De-listing, if completed, will reduce a shareholder's ability to liquidate its shareholdings as there will be no public forum for effecting such a sale of shares. Accordingly, shareholders may not be able to sell their shares or liquidate their shareholdings if they are unable to find qualified private buyers.
Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debentures ("Debentures") issued on October 4, 2018 in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000, if the Common Shares are not listed on the TSXV at the time of conversion of the Debentures, they will no longer be convertible into units ("Units") of the Company at a conversion price of $0.40 per Unit; each Unit being comprised of one (1) Common Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) Common Share purchase warrant. Rather, each Debenture will be convertible into one (1) Common Share at a conversion price of $0.30 per Common Share.
As a result of the De-listing, the Corporation should not cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable securities laws, and, therefore, should continue to be required to meet the obligations imposed on reporting issuers under applicable securities laws, which include, but is not limited to, the filing on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) of audited financial statements and interim quarterly financial statements and corresponding MD&A, and material change reports.
The De-listing remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.
