Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 28, 2014, NiMin Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “NiMin”) announced that its board of directors has declared a final distribution to shareholders of US$0.07 per common share (“Common Share”) of the Company in connection with the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of NiMin. The distribution will be made as a return of capital to shareholders of record on April 11, 2014. The distribution will be payable on April 28, 2014.
This distribution represents the final distribution to shareholders of the proceeds from the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (“Sale of Assets”) as previously announced less obligations, liabilities and contingency reserves. Shareholders approved the Sale of Assets and the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the distribution of the remaining assets of the Company at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 26, 2012.
In connection with the final distribution, the Company anticipates trading of the Common Shares on the NEX to be halted at the opening on April 9, 2014 until delisting from the NEX occurs immediately following the payable date.
Once the Company completes the final distribution to its shareholders, the Company intends to make an application to the Registrar of Corporations (Alberta) for a Certificate of Dissolution.
The Company is furnishing a copy of the press release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
