Special Committee of Commander Confirms FruchtExpress Is Proceeding with Unsolicited Takeover Bid
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2024) - The Special Committee (the "Special Committee") of the Board of Directors of Commander Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CMD) ("Commander" or the "Company") announces that FruchtExpress Grabher GmbH & Co KG ("FEx"), an insider shareholder of Commander, has delivered written notice on May 23, 2024 of FEx's unsolicited cash offer to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Commander not already owned or controlled by FEx for $0.09 per share (the "Offer"), as FEx had previously proposed on March 4, 2024. Commander shareholders are advised to take no action in respect of the Offer until Commander's Board of Directors have made a formal response to the Offer, upon the recommendations of the Special Committee, and as required by applicable securities laws.
At a meeting held on March 4, 2024, the Board of Directors appointed a three-member Special Committee of independent directors that has a broad mandate to address, evaluate, and recommend a response to FEx's Offer, or any other potential or alternative transaction which may arise. The Chair of Special Committee is David Watkins, and its other members are Eric Norton and Brandon Macdonald. The Special Committee is in the process of assessing FEx's Offer, engaging professional advisors, and conducting related discussions. The Special Committee expects to report the initial results of these initiatives shortly.
Commander cautions its shareholders and potential investors that there can be no certainty that the Offer will be supported by the Special Committee or the Board of Directors of Commander.
