Online, September 16, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Frontier Rare Earths Limited ("Frontier" or the "Company") (TSX: FRO) (US: FREFF) announces that at a special general meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on September 16, 2015 (the "Meeting"), those disinterested shareholders eligible to vote in connection with the proposed delisting of the Company's ordinary shares (the "Delisting") from the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") voted in favour of proceeding with the Delisting. The Delisting was approved by the affirmative vote of 92.02% of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
Following approval of the Delisting, the board of directors of the Company authorized that an application be made to the TSX to delist the Company's shares. The Delisting will occur at market close on September 30, 2015.
Following the Delisting from the TSX there will no longer be an active market in Canada for the Company's ordinary shares, although a shareholder may seek to trade in the Company's ordinary shares through a broker in Canada provided that a corresponding buyer or seller, as applicable, for such ordinary shares can be found. Frontier's ordinary shares will continue to be tradeable on the US OTC market under the symbol "FREFF".
Further information about the Delisting, including a detailed summary of the reasons for the Delisting, is set out in the Company's management information circular dated August 20, 2015 and the Company's news release dated August 20, 2015, both of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Frontier's issuer profile.
