Essential Metal: Shareholder Vote On 12th Oct. The IE Says Not Fair
- After Mineral Resources (MIN AU) and other shareholders voted against the Tianqi Lithium JV transaction for Essential Metals (ESS AU), Develop Global (DVP AU) swooped and announced a binding Scheme.
- The all-scrip Scheme transaction has the backing of MinRes, who also owns a ~12.8% stake in Develop.
- The Scheme Booklet is now out. Essential shareholders vote on the transaction on the 18 October, with implementation on the 6 November. The IE opines “not fair but reasonable“.
