Rule 17 of the AIM Rules
When acquiring shares in the Company, Shareholders are entitled under Canadian securities laws to categorise themselves as “objecting” (“OBOs”) or “non-objecting” (“NOBOs”). By registering as such, which they usually do through the entity through which they acquired their shares, OBOs are noting that they object to their interest and their details being disclosed to the Company, in respect of interests up to 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company after which level Canadian securities law makes disclosure mandatory. NOBOs on the other hand are noting the fact that they do not object to their shareholdings and their details being disclosed to the Company.
Rule 17 of the AIM Rules requires, inter alia, that an AIM quoted company must notify the market of any changes of which it is aware to its Shareholders’ interests in 3 per cent. or more of the Common Shares and changes thereto (of any movements through a percentage point upwards or downwards). The Shareholders approved on 15 January 2018 a resolution to amend the By-laws, effective from Admission and conditional upon the continued admission of the Common Shares to trading on AIM, to require that Shareholders holding interests in 3 per cent. or more of the Common Shares inform the Company thereof and to inform the Company of relevant subsequent changes thereto.
