In the wake of the Australian Federal Court approving a meeting of shareholders to consider and vote on the proposed scheme of arrangement to create a new stapled structure involving Think Childcare (TNK) and a new entity Think Childcare Development (TND), Think have published the scheme booklet for shareholders.
The booklet, which is sometimes referred to as an explanatory memorandum, provides information to shareholders about the proposal to staple the securities of the two entities and provides guidance as to the process shareholders should follow when voting.
Think announced their intention to proceed with a new structure after their largest incubator, Edhod, running into difficulties with their creditors and ultimately being taken into receivership.
Although Think has since managed to secure 11 centres from Edhod, the Group intends to proceed with their new structure to ensure better control and transparency exists with regards to developing and incubating sites going forward.
The timetable for shareholders to consider and vote is as follows:
Deadline for proxy form delivery to Think Share Registry - 10:30am 3 December 2019
Deadline for determining eligibility to vote - 7:00pm 3 December 2019
Scheme meeting - 10:30am 5 December 2019
General meeting - 10:30am 5 December 2019
The meeting will be held at Minter Ellison, Level 23, 525 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria.
