"I believe the Offer provides an attractive outcome for shareholders of both Deterra and Trident. It is a positive step in the execution of Deterra's growth strategy by adding quality assets to our current portfolio. For Trident Shareholders it offers the certainty of a cash return at a significant premium and access to liquidity not available in recent trading. We welcome the support for the Offer of both the Trident Board and key shareholders representing 28.7 per cent of Trident's issued capital."
Julian Andrews, Managing Director, Deterra
"Since its inception in June 2020, Trident has built shareholder value through the acquisition of high quality royalties and now holds a diversified portfolio of 21 assets, including the flagship Thacker Pass lithium royalty. While the Trident Board remains confident in Trident's ability to succeed as an independent business and to continue delivering strong results and growth in the future, the Offer from Deterra offers Trident Shareholders both liquidity and an immediate cash premium. As such, it presents an opportunity for our shareholders to accelerate and de-risk the recognition of Trident's potential future value creation, and realise a certain cash exit for their investment."
Peter Bacchus, Non-Executive Chair, Trident Royalties (TRR)
