The Board of Directors ('Board') of Noble Group Holdings Limited ('Noble') in consultation with the SGX is pleased to announce that the deadline by which shareholders of Noble Group Limited ('Old Noble') are required to register with Lucid Issuer Services Limited ('Lucid') in order to protect their entitlement to receive shares of Noble, will be extended until 19 June 2020 (from the previously extended date of 19 March 2019) to allow shareholders of Old Noble more time.
Final Extension
This second extension of the deadline will be the final extension and no further extension will be announced.
The Entitlement to Shares
The restructuring of Old Noble became effective on 20 December 2018. As part of the restructuring, substantially all of the assets and business of Old Noble were transferred to Noble. Under the terms of the restructuring, shareholders of Old Noble are entitled to receive one share in Noble for every ten shares held in Old Noble with any fractional entitlements rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The shares of Noble to which shareholders of Old Noble are entitled, were initially issued to Lucid as holding period trustee for the shareholders of Old Noble for a period from 20 December 2018 until 19 December 2019. That deadline of 19 December 2019 was extended until 19 March 2020. As explained in: the announcements of 20 December 2018, 31 January 2019, 29 July 2019 and 18 September 2019, 9 December 2019, 16 December 2019, 17 January 2020 and 6 February 2020; the press advertisements released on 31 January 2019 and 11 March 2019; the postcard sent to the last known address of all relevant shareholders of Old Noble on 11 March 2019 and the reminder sent by the SGX on 2 December 2019 to receive their shares of Noble, shareholders of Old Noble need to follow a procedure (which is set out in detail in the announcement of 18 September 2019) in order to prove they are the correct person entitled to such shares and that they are not a resident, or citizen, of a jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to deliver such shares. Shareholders of Old Noble were required to commence that procedure by registering with Lucid via the website: www.lucid-is.com/nghlregistration
New Deadline
Because of the progress achieved since early December 2019 and the establishment of the Singapore Helpdesk in January 2020, over 96% of share entitlements have now been registered. Nevertheless, the Board have decided to extend the deadline for a second and final time from 19 March, 2020 to 19 June, 2020 to try to ensure that all shareholders of Old Noble who are entitled to receive shares of Noble have the opportunity to commence the procedure by registering with Lucid.
Shareholders of Old Noble are reminded that Lucid will only hold the shares to which they are entitled from 20 December 2018 until the new final deadline of 19 June 2020. Shareholders of Old Noble are encouraged to register with Lucid via the website referred to above as soon as possible to ensure they commence the procedure before 19 June 2020.
