Reservoir Minerals Inc. Reminds Shareholders to Vote Now FOR the Strategic Combination

13.06.2016  |  Marketwired
VANCOUVER, Jun 13, 2016 - Reservoir Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RMC) ("Reservoir") today reminded Reservoir shareholders to vote FOR the strategic US$1.1 billion combination of Reservoir and Nevsun Resources Ltd. ("Nevsun") (the "Arrangement") in order to ensure Reservoir shareholders receive a premium price for their shares and participate in the long term growth of the combined company and the Timok copper and gold project.

All Reservoir shareholders are encouraged to vote for the Arrangement, no matter how many shares they own. The proxy deadline of 9:00 am, Vancouver time, on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 so it is important to vote prior to this deadline in order for your votes to be counted. Following the completion of the Arrangement the pro-forma company will have over US$300 million in cash to fund the development of Reservoir's Timok copper-gold project, as well as ongoing cash flow generated by the pro-forma company's 60%-owned Bisha mine, a high grade mine which generated US$120 million of operating cash flow in 2015.

Reservoir's board of directors, its financial advisor (Canaccord Genuity) and two leading independent proxy advisors (ISS and Glass Lewis) have all unanimously recommended the transaction. The Arrangement with Nevsun was determined to be in the best interest of Reservoir's shareholders as it:
  • Combines Nevsun's $300 million of cash with Reservoir's high grade Timok Copper-Gold project
  • Benefits from Nevsun's track record of building and operating a similar size project, the Bisha mine
  • Provides diversification for on-going shareholders
  • Offers significant exploration exposure in two prolific mining districts
  • Continues partnerships with Freeport and Rio Tinto

In order for the transaction to be successful, a 2/3 majority of the votes cast by Reservoir's shareholders must be in favour of the US$1.1 billion transaction.

TIME IS SHORT - PROXIES SUBMITTED MUST BE RECEIVED BY 9:00 AM, VANCOUVER TIME, ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2016. VOTE YOUR PROXY NOW TO AVOID THE VALUE DESTRUCTION INHERENT TO THE DISSIDENTS' PROPOSALS.
