Niocorp Developments Ltd. has announced the adoption of a limited-duration shareholder rights plan intended to protect and maximize value for shareholders. The plan, effective immediately, will issue one right for each outstanding common share of the company as of the record date, December 4, 2025, with each right becoming exercisable if an acquiring person, together with related persons, acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares without complying with the permitted bid provisions of the plan.
The plan is aimed at ensuring that all shareholders are treated equally and fairly in the event of any unsolicited takeover bid or attempt to acquire control of the company, with the goal of preserving control premiums and value for shareholders. It is not a response to any specific takeover bid or proposal, and the company is not aware of any such pending or contemplated takeover bid or other proposal.
The plan has a term of six months and will expire on May 21, 2026, or earlier as described in the agreement governing the plan. The full text of the plan is available on the company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The issuance of the rights will not affect trading of the common shares, and no further action is required by shareholders.
Following these announcements, the company's shares moved -0.57%, and are now trading at a price of $5.185. For the full picture, make sure to review NIOCORP DEVELOPMENTS's 8-K report.
