Frequently Asked Questions
- When will Eldorado delist from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)?
Eldorado will be removed from the official list of the ASX at the close of trading in Australia on August 31, 2012. Eldorado was suspended from trading on the ASX at the close of trading in Australia on August 24, 2012. - Why is Eldorado delisting from the ASX?
Eldorado Chess Depository Interests (CDIs) account for only 1% of Eldorado's issued share capital. In addition, there has been a significantly low level of trading on the ASX compared to the TSX or the NYSE. Eldorado shares will continue to trade on the TSX and the NYSE. - Can I convert my CDIs to Eldorado shares?
Yes, you are able to convert your CDIs to Eldorado common shares listed for trading on the TSX or NYSE. Please see Section 2.1 of the Further Information Pack for Former CDI Holders. - As a CDI holder, what are my options?
