CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

TORONTO, April 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toubani Resources, Inc (ASX: TRE; TSX-V: TRE) (“Toubani Resources” or the “Company”) announces that, further to the press release issued on April 19, 2023 regarding its application to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) to voluntary delist the common shares of the Company (the “Delisting”), it is anticipated that the common shares will be delisted at the close of business on May 11, 2023.

The Delisting will not affect the Company’s listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”) and the Company’s CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) will continue to trade on the ASX under the symbol “TRE”. Following the Delisting, the Company’s shareholders may trade their common shares on the ASX after converting such shares into CDIs. Shareholders holding shares in Canadian brokerage accounts should contact their brokers to confirm details regarding the trading of CDIs on the ASX.

After the Delisting date of May 11, 2023 and until a movement of shares to the Australian register is effected, shareholders on the Canadian register and beneficial shareholders holding securities through a Canadian Depositary for Securities (“CDS”) participant / broker will not be able to trade their shares on the ASX, and their shareholdings will remain on the Canadian share register until the automatic closure of the register occurs. The Company’s Canadian share register will, however, remain open until July 11, 2023, in order to enable shareholders and CDS participants concurrently on the Canadian share register to request, if they wish, to have their shares issued to a broker / nominee within CHESS, the Australian clearing and settlement system.

If CDS participants or shareholders on the Canadian register have not requested to have their shares moved to an Australian broker/nominee within CHESS by July 11, 2023, their holdings will be automatically moved to an Issuer-sponsored holding on the Australian share register and they will be sent an Issuer-sponsored holding statement from the Australian Registrar. Once this occurs, these shareholders will be able to sell their shares on the ASX by quoting their securityholder reference number to their broker. Canadian share certificates previously issued will become null and void at such time. Shareholders whose shares are already held on the Australian share register need to take no action.

Process to Request the Removal of Shares from Canada to Australia

CDS participants, or those with shares held by a broker within CDS, who wish to have their shares moved over to the Australian share register and issued to a broker/nominee within CHESS should arrange for the CDS participant to complete a withdrawal from CDS, and complete and submit a cross border removal form to TSX Trust, the Company’s transfer agent.

Registered shareholders who wish to have their shares held with a CHESS broker / nominee will need to open an account with a CHESS broker/nominee and complete and submit a cross border removal form to TSX Trust. If such shares are held as Canadian share certificates, the original share certificate must also be duly medallion guaranteed and returned together with the cross border removal form.

The Canada to Australia removal form will be made available under the “Investors” section of the Company’s website.

Registered shareholders are encouraged to contact TSX Trust for more information on the process via the information below:
