  • Canex plans to launch the bid within two weeks and will issue a takeover circular containing full offer terms.
  • The partial revocation expires 31 Jan 2026 (or 30 Apr 2026 if ≥50 % of Gold Basin shares are tendered and paid for by that date).

Key Details

  • Offer Mechanics: Offer will be detailed in a formal takeover bid circular that includes copies of both the original cease‑trade order and the partial revocation order.
  • Expiration Conditions:
  • Standard expiry – 31 Jan 2026.
  • If ≥50 % of Gold Basin’s outstanding common shares are tendered, paid for, and taken up by Canex on or before 31 Jan 2026, the revocation extends to 30 Apr 2026 to facilitate a 100 % acquisition.
