Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Scully Royalty Ltd. (formerly MFC Bancorp Ltd.) covers the month of June 2019. The document reports the results of an extraordinary general meeting held on May 31, 2019, and details the effective implementation of corporate actions on June 3, 2019.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate governance actions and voting results rather than financial performance.
Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Name Change: The company officially changed its name from MFC Bancorp Ltd. to Scully Royalty Ltd., effective June 3, 2019.
- Stock Symbol: Common shares commenced trading on the NYSE under the new symbol "SRL" on June 4, 2019.
- Share Consolidation and Split: The company executed a 25-for-1 share consolidation followed immediately by a 1-for-25 share split. This action results in no net change to the number of shares held by shareholders owning 25 or more shares.
- Fractional Share Treatment: Shareholders holding fewer than 25 shares prior to the consolidation ("Fractional Holders") did not receive fractional shares. Instead, the transfer agent aggregated and sold these fractional interests, distributing net proceeds to the holders.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the new ticker symbol "SRL" on the NYSE for trading purposes.
- Confirm share count adjustments if holding fewer than 25 shares prior to June 3, 2019, as these were liquidated for cash proceeds.
- Review the proxy statement dated May 8, 2019, for full details on the rationale behind the name change and capital structure adjustments.
- Check with brokers or nominees regarding the specific mechanics of the fractional share liquidation and payment distribution.
