GoGold and Animas Announce Second Step Arrangement Agreement

08.03.2014  |  CNW
HALIFAX and VANCOUVER, March 7, 2014 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) ("GoGold") and Animas Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ANI) ("Animas") announced today that Animas has entered into an agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with GoGold for a proposed arrangement (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement constitutes the second step transaction for GoGold to acquire all the common shares of Animas ("Animas Shares") not deposited in the take-over bid it launched on January 23, 2014, which expired on February 28, 2014, and all other outstanding Animas securities. GoGold holds approximately 84.0% of the outstanding Animas Shares and all of the outstanding Animas share purchase warrants (representing approximately 82.8% of the Animas Shares (on a fully diluted basis)).

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, holders of Animas Shares will receive $0.07 in cash and 0.0851 of a common share of GoGold (each a "GoGold Share") for each Animas Share (for a deemed offer price of $0.15 for each Animas Share based on the closing price of GoGold Shares on December 27, 2013 (the "Offer Price")), and one GoGold Share for each $0.94 of cumulative in-the-money value of Animas options ("Animas Options"), calculated using the Offer Price, rounded down to the nearest whole GoGold Share.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, Animas and GoGold have agreed to apply for an interim order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia to convene a special meeting of Animas' shareholders to vote on the proposed Arrangement. The independent members of Animas' board have received an opinion from their financial advisor, Edgecrest Capital Corporation, that the consideration payable to Animas shareholders in the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Animas (other than GoGold). Based on their own analysis and various other factors, including the fairness opinion, the independent members of Animas' board unanimously approved the transaction and have recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the Arrangement. The special meeting is expected to be scheduled for April 16, 2014, with a March 13, 2014 record date. Animas' motion for the interim order is expected to be heard on March 14, 2014. GoGold is committed in the Arrangement Agreement to vote all of its Animas Shares it owns in favor of the Arrangement.

Subject to the interim order, full details of the transaction will be included in a management information circular, which is expected to be filed by Animas with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Animas shareholders in the week of March 24, 2014. The circular will also contain full details on the terms of the proposed plan of arrangement, the factors considered by Animas' independent directors as well as a summary and complete copy of Edgecrest's fairness opinion.

GoGold's counsel for the Arrangement is Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP and its corporate counsel is JESSOMELAW. Animas' counsel is McCullough O'Connor Irwin LLP.
