Kinross Gold Corp to fully acquire Underworld Resources at 36% premium
Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KCG) has agreed to acquire the shares in Underworld Resources (TSX-V: UW) not already owned by Kinross.
Kinross will offer 0.141 of its share and C$0.01 in cash for each share in Underworld, making for a total consideration of C$2.62 per share, based on the March 10, 2010 closing price of C$18.54 per Kinross common share on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The transaction values the fully-diluted share capital of Underworld at approximately C$139.2 million.
The offer represents a premium of 36% to Underworld’s closing price yesterday and a 50.2% premium based on its average volume weighted prices over the 20 trading days ended 10 March 2010.
Underworld’s board has already recommended its shareholders, directors and management team to accept the offer with the conclusion of a definitive support agreement expected by 15 March 2010. The company's key asset is the White Gold project, located in the Tintina gold belt, approximately 95 km south of Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada.
“The Kinross offer brings substantial technical and financial resources to the White Gold property which will further rapidly advance the project. We feel the Kinross offer provides immediate value to our shareholders,” said Underworld chairman Michael Williams.
