KIRKLAND, QC, Oct. 12, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Manitex Capital
Inc. ("Manitex") is pleased to announce that it has
completed the distribution to its shareholders of its previously
announced special dividend-in-kind (the "Dividend") of
common shares of Auxico Resources Canada Inc., ("Auxico
Shares") held by Manitex.
The Dividend has a deemed price of $0.25 per Auxico Share and was distributed to
holders of record of common shares of Manitex ("Manitex
Shares") at the close of business on September 19, 2017 (the "Record Date"), on
a pro rata basis of 0.1 Auxico Share per Manitex Share held on the
Record Date. No Auxico Shares were delivered to Manitex
shareholders residing outside of Canada. Consequently, non-resident Manitex
shareholders have received their pro-rata share of the cash
equivalent of the Dividend. A total of 1,249,027 Auxico Shares were
distributed to resident Manitex shareholders and after distribution
of the Dividend, Manitex continues to hold 990,973 Auxico
Shares.
The Dividend is an "eligible dividend" for the purposes of the
Income Tax Act (Canada) and
corresponding provincial legislation and therefore the dividend
will be taxable in the hands of Manitex shareholders. Manitex
shareholders with questions regarding the tax treatment of
dividends should consult with their own tax advisors or contact
their local office of the Canada Revenue Agency and, where
applicable, the provincial taxation authorities.
