Soltoro Ltd. (TSXV:SOL) announced that it’s entered into a definitive agreement under which it will be acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM). Agnico Eagle will pay about C$31.6 million for the company — that works out to $0.325 per Soltoro common share.
As quoted in the press release:
Soltoro shareholders will be entitled to receive, in respect of each Soltoro common share held, 0.00793 of an Agnico Eagle common share, C$0.01 in cash and one common share valued at C$0.02 per share of a company to be newly formed and spun off to Soltoro’s shareholders under the proposed arrangement (‘SpinCo’). The transaction will proceed by plan of arrangement (the ‘Arrangement’) under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
The offer represents a premium of approximately 51% to the volume weighted average price of Soltoro common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the ‘TSXV’) for the 20 day period ended April 9, 2015 and a premium of 55% to the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction.
As a result of the transaction, Agnico Eagle will acquire the El Rayo, El Tecolote, La Tortuga, San Pedro and Quila exploration projects held by Soltoro in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Soltoro will transfer to SpinCo the assets and related liabilities associated with the Gavilan, El Santuario and Chinipas exploration properties currently held by Soltoro that are located outside of the state of Jalisco, Mexico. SpinCo will initially be capitalized with approximately C$2.0 million in cash contributed by Agnico Eagle.
