MC Mining Ltd said on Friday Goldway Capital Investment Ltd had offered to buy out shares it does not already own in the coal producer.
Per Australian company law, Goldway must compulsorily buyout remaining shares in MC Mining following its off-market takeover bid. The buyout offer only applies to MC Miming shares issued before April 8, when all conditions of the takeover offer were fulfilled.
Goldway has offered A$0.16 for each MC Mining share. It has said it owns relevant interest represented 93% of the company’s issued shares.
MC Mining said on Friday that eligible shareholders have until June 25 to accept the buyout offer.
The Canberra, Australia-based developer of coal mines said that any delisting of its shares will not take place until the formal end of the buyout offer process.
