TORONTO, April 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Middlefield Limited (the "Manager"), manager of MBN Corporation ("MBN" or the "Corporation"), would like to confirm that, as previously described in the press releases dated March 8, 2022 and April 6, 2022, all equity shares of the Corporation (the "Equity Shares") have been redeemed effective April 21, 2022 (the "Redemption Date"). The Equity Shares were thereafter voluntarily de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange. The redemption proceeds are equal to $10.5874 per Equity Share, which are expected to be paid out to holders of Equity Shares of record as of the Redemption Date by April 29, 2022.
As the redemption proceeds are less than the Paid-Up Capital of the Equity Shares, the redemption proceeds are expected to be treated entirely as return of capital. However, holders of Equity Shares should still consult their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of any capital gain or capital loss arising on the redemption related to their specific circumstances. Please note there should be no tax consequences to those shareholders who hold their investment within registered plans, such as RRSPs, TFSAs, etc.
