![New Carolin Gold Corp. Announces Adoption of Shareholder Rights Plan](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
In order to implement the Rights Plan, the Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of the rights to holders of its common shares at the ratio of one right for each common share outstanding. For administrative convenience, the rights will automatically attach to the common shares and will be represented by certificates representing the common shares. No further action will be required by shareholders. On the occurrence of certain triggering events, which include the acquisition by a person or a group of 20% or more of the votes attached to all outstanding common shares of the Corporation in a transaction not approved by the Board of Directors, the rights will entitle the holders (other than the acquiring person or group) to acquire common shares of the Corporation at a significant discount to the market price. The rights are not triggered by purchases of voting shares made pursuant to a "permitted bid" (as defined in the Rights Plan) or where the application of the Rights Plan is waived in accordance with its terms.
The Rights Plan is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange and approval by the Corporation's shareholders. The Rights Plan will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the Corporation's next annual general and special meeting to be held on March 30, 2012. If approved by the shareholders, the Rights Plan will have a term of three years.
