Amir SohailAnchorage Alaska, (ZEEST MEDIA) — Nova Minerals Limited (“Nova” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NVA) (ASX: NVA) (FRA: QM3) ) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on its redomiciliation to the United States and answers to key questions regarding the transition.
Following orders issued by the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the schemes of arrangement becoming effective on 3 June 2026, the Company has suspended trading of its ordinary shares on the ASX and OTC markets, as well as its ADSs and listed warrants on Nasdaq.
Why is Nova Minerals currently in a trading halt and when will trading resume?
The trading suspension has been implemented to allow the Company sufficient time to complete the various steps required under the schemes and finalize its redomiciliation to the United States. The redomiciliation process is expected to be completed on or around 16 June 2026, following which trading of Nova Minerals Corp’s ASX-listed CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) under the ticker code “NVA”, and its NYSE American-listed common stock and listed warrants under the ticker codes “NVA” and “NVAWW”, respectively, is expected to resume shortly thereafter.
What does the implementation of the schemes mean for my Nova Minerals holdings?
Following implementation of the schemes, all securityholders (other than Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and non-electing Small Parcel Holders as defined in the scheme booklet), registered as at the record date of 9 June 2026 will retain the same proportional ownership interest; however, their holdings will be exchanged for securities in the newly established U.S.-domiciled parent company, Nova Minerals Corp.
ASX Share Holders
Shareholders who held Nova Minerals shares listed on the ASX will have their shares exchanged on a one-for-one basis for ASX-listed CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) in Nova Minerals Corp. These CDIs carry equivalent voting rights and will continue to trade on the ASX under the existing ticker code “NVA”.
CDI holders may elect to convert their holdings into NYSE-listed common stock of Nova Minerals Corp on the basis of one common share for every 12 CDIs held by contacting Computershare Australia and completing the required conversion process.
OTC Share Holders
Shareholders who held Nova Minerals shares on the OTC market will have their holdings exchanged on a one-for-twelve basis for NYSE American-listed common stock of Nova Minerals Corp, with any fractional entitlements rounded up to the nearest whole share. The common stock will trade on the NYSE American under the ticker code “NVA”.
Nasdaq ADS Holders
Holders of Nova Minerals ADSs listed on Nasdaq will have their ADSs exchanged on a one-for-one basis for NYSE American-listed common stock of Nova Minerals Corp. The common stock will trade on the NYSE American under the ticker code “NVA”.
Nasdaq Listed Warrant Holders
Holders of Nova Minerals listed warrants on Nasdaq will have their warrants exchanged on a one-for-three basis for NYSE American-listed warrants of Nova Minerals Corp. These warrants will continue to provide equivalent economic rights and will trade on the NYSE American under the ticker code “NVAWW”.
Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and Non-Electing Small Parcel Holders
Shareholders who held ASX-listed shares with a value of less than A$500 and did not elect to opt out of the sale facility, together with Ineligible Foreign ASX Shareholders whose registered address is in a jurisdiction other than Australia, Belgium, Israel, New Zealand, Panama, the United Kingdom or the United States, will not receive CDIs in Nova Minerals Corp.
Instead, the CDIs to which they would otherwise have been entitled will be sold on-market by a sale agent within 90 business days of the Implementation Date. The net proceeds from those sales, after deduction of any applicable taxes, will be distributed to eligible holders on a pro rata basis.
