November 28, 2024 7:00 AM EST | Source: S2 Minerals Inc.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2024) - S2 Minerals Inc. (CSE: STWO) ("S2" or the "Company") announces that the Company's board of directors has approved consolidating (the "Consolidation") its common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of one post-Consolidation Common Share for every two pre-Consolidation Common Shares, effective December 5, 2024 (the "Effective Date").
The Consolidation was one of the items of business approved by the Company's shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on November 27, 2024. As a result of the Consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares will be reduced from 37,937,649 to approximately 18,968,824. Each shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. If a holder of Common Shares would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share, then the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares issuable to such shareholder shall be rounded down to the next lower whole number. No cash consideration will be paid in respect of fractional shares.
The Common Shares will continue to trade on the CSE under the symbol "STWO" on a post-Consolidation basis, under a new CUSIP number - 78485F205. The Common Shares are expected to begin trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the CSE when markets open on December 5, 2024.
A letter of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation was mailed to registered shareholders of the Company as of October 28, 2024, along with the Company's management information circular dated October 28, 2024. All registered shareholders with physical certificates or direct registration statements ("DRS") will be required to send their respective certificates and/or DRS representing pre‐Consolidation Common Shares, along with a completed letter of transmittal, to the Company's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent"), in accordance with the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal. A copy of the letter of transmittal is available on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at sedarplus.ca. All shareholders who submit a duly completed letter of transmittal along with their respective pre‐Consolidation Common Share certificate(s)/DRS to the Transfer Agent, will receive a post‐Consolidation Common Share certificate or DRS. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker or other intermediary and who do not have Common Shares registered in their name, will not need to complete a letter of transmittal. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-Consolidation shares will represent the number of whole post-Consolidation shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
