Mountain Province Diamonds Announces Results of Annual and Special Meeting and Planned Voluntary Delisting Date from the Toronto Stock Exchange
Mountain Province Diamonds faces TSX delisting and liquidity constraints extending only to September while its restructuring status remains unconfirmed.
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (MPVD) held its Annual and Special Meeting on June 30, 2026, securing shareholder approval for director elections, a USD$1 million facility fee to related-party lender Dunebridge Worldwide Ltd., and a voluntary delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The delisting is scheduled for July 17, 2026, pending regulatory approvals. Shareholders also approved the continuance of the company's legal jurisdiction from Ontario to British Columbia.
The vote on the facility fee excluded 75.4 million shares held by Vertigol Unlimited Company (controlled by Mr. Dermot Desmond) and 301,409 shares held by Mr. Jonathan Comerford, as required under MI 61-101 and TSX rules. Total shares represented at the meeting were 111,152,890, representing 52.28% of issued and outstanding shares.
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (MPVD) announced a voluntary delisting and corporate continuance, steps explicitly outlined in meeting materials from May 26, 2026, to reduce administrative costs and provide flexibility for a broader restructuring or going-private transaction. The market has already priced in this trajectory, with the stock declining from $0.06 in early May to $0.02 by the end of June, reflecting the anticipated loss of liquidity and public market status. The approval of a USD$1 million facility fee and the delisting vote do not alter the fundamental financial distress or the pending September 30, 2026 debt maturity.
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. is a Canadian mining company focused on the Gahcho Kué diamond mine in the Northwest Territories.

The company is subject to standard mining regulations and environmental reclamation obligations, which include significant decommissioning liabilities.
