Metalla Sets Effective Date for Previously
Announced Share Consolidation
TSXV: MTA
OTCQB: MTAFF
VANCOUVER
,
Dec. 16, 2019
/CNW/ -
Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd.
("
Metalla
" or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: MTA) (OTCQB: MTAFF) announces that, in connection with a planned listing
on the NYSE American, LLC ("
NYSE American
"), the Company will complete its previously
announced consolidation of common shares on the basis of one new share for four old shares (1:4)
(the "
Consolidation
") effective as of
12:01 a.m. (PST)
on
December 17, 2019
(the "
Effective
Time
"). The Company's consolidated common shares are expected to begin trading on the TSX
Venture Exchange ("
TSXV
") when the markets open on
December 17, 2019
.
Share Consolidation
Each four (4) common shares issued and outstanding at the Effective Time will be consolidated into
one (1) common share. The Consolidation affects all of the Company's common shares outstanding
at the Effective Time. As a result of the Consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding
common shares will be reduced from approximately 135,244,590 to 33,811,175 (subject to
fractional treatment). Each shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company and proportional
voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the
treatment of fractional shares.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. Fractional interests of 0.5 or
greater will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares and fractional interests of less
than 0.5 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of common shares.
Effect of the Consolidation on Registered and Beneficial Holders
Registered shareholders holding share certificates will be mailed a letter of transmittal advising of
the Consolidation and instructing them to surrender their share certificates representing pre-
Consolidation common shares for replacement certificates representing their post-Consolidation
common shares. Until surrendered for exchange, each share certificate formerly representing pre-
Consolidation common shares will be deemed to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation
common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
Holders of common shares of the Company who hold uncertificated common shares (i.e., common
shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as
registered holders or beneficial owners, will have their existing book-entry account(s) electronically
adjusted by the Company's transfer agent or, for beneficial shareholders, by their brokerage firms,
banks, trusts or other nominees that hold in "street name" for their benefit. Such holders do not need
to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation common shares for post-
Consolidation common shares.
Beneficial shareholders holding their common shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should
note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the
Consolidation than those that have been put in place by the Company for registered shareholders. If
you hold your common shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have questions
in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.
The new CUSIP number for the post-Consolidation common shares is 59124U605 and the new ISIN
number is CA59124U6051.
Effect of the Consolidation on the payment of Dividends
Further to the Company's press release dated
November 26, 2019
, Metalla has announced a
monthly dividend payment on its common shares for January and
February 2020
. In order to
maintain the same aggregate pre-Consolidation dividend payment, the per share dividend payment
amount has been automatically adjusted such that the dividend payment amount will be
$0.004
per
share in January and
February 2020
.
