Ocehan has made similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of several other public companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to avoid many of the investor protections like disclosure and procedural protections applicable to most take-over bids and tender offers under Canadian and U.S. securities law. The Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) have expressed concerns about mini-tender offers, including the possibility that investors might tender to such offers without understanding the offer price relative to the actual market price of their securities.
Article content
Comments from the CSA on mini-tender offers can be found on the Ontario Securities Commission website at: CSA Staff Notice 61-301 Staff Guidance on the Practice of “Mini-Tenders”. The SEC has noted that “bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.” The SEC’s advisory to investors can be found at: https://www.sec.gov/about/reports-publications/investorpubsminitend.
Article content
Nutrien urges shareholders to obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor and exercise caution with respect to Ocehan’s offer. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares should consider taking actions to withdraw them, including reviewing the withdrawal procedures in Ocehan’s offering documents.
Article content
Nutrien strongly encourages brokers, dealers and other market participants to exercise caution and review the letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures on the SEC website at: Letter to SIA re: Broker-Dealer Mini-Tender Offer Dissemination and Disclosures (sec.gov) and the relevant provisions in the CSA’s notice referenced above. Nutrien requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to Ocehan’s mini-tender offer related to Nutrien shares.
