- Shareholder meeting set for June 9 to vote on acquisition scheme

Shareholders to Decide on IsoEnergy Takeover
Toro Energy Ltd (ASX:TOE) is moving closer to a critical juncture in its proposed acquisition by Iso Australia Operations Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of IsoEnergy Ltd. Shareholders will convene on June 9, 2026, at West Perth to vote on the scheme of arrangement that would transfer 100% ownership of Toro to IsoEnergy.
Federal Court Hearing Set for Scheme Approval
Following the shareholder meeting, the Federal Court of Australia will hold a hearing on June 15 in Perth to consider Toro’s application for approval of the scheme. This judicial step is a mandatory hurdle under Australia’s Corporations Act 2001 and will determine whether the acquisition can proceed legally.
Shareholder Rights to Participate in Court Process
Importantly, Toro shareholders are entitled to appear at the court hearing and may formally oppose the scheme by filing a notice of appearance and any supporting affidavits. These documents must be lodged at least one day before the hearing, providing a transparent process for dissenting voices to be heard.
Acquisition Process Remains on Track
This procedural update does not introduce new terms or financial details of the acquisition, which was previously valued at an approximate 80% premium to Toro’s share price. The scheme has already received unanimous recommendation from Toro’s board and an independent expert’s endorsement as fair and reasonable. The process has been unfolding steadily, with earlier milestones including the dispatch of the Scheme Booklet and regulatory waivers facilitating the takeover.
Next Steps for Investors
Investors should watch the outcomes of the June 9 shareholder vote and the June 15 court hearing closely, as these will be decisive for the completion of the acquisition. Any unexpected opposition at the court stage could introduce delays or complications. After court approval, the scheme will move toward implementation, potentially reshaping Toro’s ownership and strategic direction under IsoEnergy’s umbrella.
Bottom Line?
The upcoming court hearing is the final legal checkpoint before Toro’s acquisition by IsoEnergy can be sealed, with shareholder engagement at the heart of the process.
Questions in the middle?
- Will any shareholders formally oppose the scheme at the Federal Court hearing?
- How might the acquisition affect Toro’s uranium projects post-completion?
- Could regulatory or market conditions influence the scheme’s final implementation?
