Further, and while not a condition precedent to the Scheme, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has conditionally approved the listing on the TSX of the shares in CAML, including the New CAML Shares that will be issued to Cygnus Shareholders pursuant to the Scheme.
Article content
The Kazakhstan regulatory approval condition precedent is in process, with the statutory timetable now requiring a decision by no later than Thursday, 1 October 2026. As a result, this approval may not be obtained prior to the Scheme Meeting or potentially the current Second Court Date (presently scheduled for 23 September 2026). Should the approval not be received before the Second Court Date, Cygnus may either apply to the Court to defer the Second Court Date to the earliest practicable date following receipt of the Kazakhstan regulatory approval and/or seek the Court’s approval to treat the Kazakhstan regulatory approval as a condition subsequent. CAML has advised Cygnus that it is not aware of any specific reason why the Kazakhstan regulatory approval will not be received in the ordinary course. It is worth noting that CAML has a successful track record of receiving a similar style of government approvals in Kazakhstan.
