Arian Silver voluntarily seeks TSX-V delisting

2015-11-30 08:21 ET - News Release

Mr. Jim Williams reports

VOLUNTARY DELISTING FROM TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE

Arian Silver Corp. has applied for voluntary delisting of the common shares of the company from the TSX Venture Exchange. The shares are currently listed for trading on the TSX-V and AIM.

The directors of the company believe that the minimal trading activity of the company's common shares on the TSX-V no longer justifies the expense and administrative requirements associated with maintaining this dual listing, and that the company's continuing AIM listing will provide its shareholders with a sufficiently liquid market upon the resumption of trading on AIM.

Subject to its application being accepted by the TSX-V, it is expected that the shares will be delisted from the TSX-V at the close of trading Dec. 1, 2015, with the shares continuing to trade on AIM under the ticker AGQ upon the release of the trading suspension.

Implications of the delisting for shareholders on the Canadian register

Following delisting from the TSX-V, the company will also be closing its Canadian share register and replacing it with a new share register in the British Virgin Islands maintained by Computershare Investor Services (BVI) Ltd.

The company's Canadian share register will, however, remain open until Jan. 30, 2016, in order to enable shareholders and Canadian Depository for Securities participants currently on the Canadian register to request, if they wish, to have depositary interests (DIs) in respect of their holdings issued to a broker/nominee within CREST, the United Kingdom settlement system.

The company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its shares are quoted on AIM in London. The company uses DIs to enable electronic transfer and settlement within CREST for trading of its shares on AIM.

If CDS participants or shareholders on the Canadian register have not activated a DI issuance request by Jan. 30, 2016, their holding will be automatically moved to a certificated holding on the BVI register and they will be sent a new physical share certificate. Canadian share certificates previously issued will become null and void at such time. Following delisting from the TSX-V, shareholders trading their holdings not held in the form of DIs within CREST may encounter delays or additional expense.

Shareholders whose holdings are already held within CREST in the form of DIs, or who wish to receive new share certificates from the BVI register, need not take any action.

CDS participants or those with shares held by a broker within CDS, who wish to have DIs issued in respect of their holdings, should arrange for the CDS participant or broker to complete and submit a Computershare settle electronic instruction or a register removal request -- CDS withdrawals to U.K. depositary interests form to Computershare Investor Services Inc. for the issue of DIs to their broker/nominee in CREST. Shareholders who hold their shares through a Canadian broker are encouraged to contact their broker to arrange for this to happen.

Registered shareholders with share certificates who wish to have DIs issued in respect of their holdings, will need to open an account with a CREST broker/nominee and complete a register removal request -- Canadian certificate to U.K. depositary interests form and submit it to the registrar together with the original Canadian share certificate(s). Alternatively, Canadian share certificates can be submitted to the CREST broker/nominee for them to arrange the issuance and deposit of the DIs into CREST.

These forms are available from the Computershare website.

Shareholders are encouraged to contact Computershare Investor Services Inc., the company's Canadian share registrar, for any information about the delisting process at toll-free 1-866-277-2086 or 1-781-575-4086 if dialling from outside Canada, or 44-0-370-702-0000 for shareholders in the U.K.

We seek Safe Harbor.
