有关占有矿业资产大部分控制权益的规定
在联交所申请上市的矿业公司必须证明而使联交所确信其有权循以下其中一种途径积极参与勘探及/或开采天然资源:
- 透过在所投资资产中占有大部分(按金额计)控制权益,以及对所勘探及/或开采的天然资源占有足够权利。占有大部分控制权益指超过50%权益。
- 透过根据本交易所接纳的安排所给予的足够权利,对勘探及/或开采天然资源的决定有足够的影响力。接纳的安排可包括合资合同、矿产品享用合同或特殊政府授权。
由于矿业资产通常持有结构较为复杂,及/或所属司法管辖区相关国家矿业法律对占有大部分控制权益的限制规定,包括限制外资控股权,以及联交所不了解的其他规定,因此矿业公司必须证明而使联交所确信其占有大部分(按金额计)控制权益,以及对所勘探及/或开采的天然资源占有足够权利。
为免生疑问,及为免于上市过程中任何不必要的复杂化,易周律师行推荐矿业公司或其保荐人在预上市初步提交并陈述矿业公司透过何种途径在所投资资产中占有大部分(按金额计)控制权益,以及其对所勘探及/或开采的天然资源占有足够权利,使联交所确信其拥有上述权益,是合资格的上市候选人。
须提供有关资产持有结构及当地发牌制度的资料。尽管在预申请阶段不是必须的,在提交的申请中应包括相关资产所在司法管辖区内的法律顾问出具的法律意见(如适用)。其他包含当地矿业法律资料或陈述矿业资产持有方式(或其摘要)的文件也可作为申请文件的一部分提交。
易周律师行在编制预申请阶段向联交所提交的文件方面有丰富的经验,该等文件陈述矿业公司对矿业资产占有大部分控制权益及占有足够权利。此外,我们在联络当地律师及向联交所上市委员会代表做进一步陈述方面亦有丰富经验。
