Animas Encourages Shareholders to Tender Shares to GoGold Offer

 

 

 

 

 

 

Animas Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:ANI) would like to remind shareholders about the process for tendering their shares to the take-over bid by GoGold Resources Inc. that was mailed to Animas shareholders on January 23, 2014. All non-US shareholders should have received the tender documents in the mail now and brokers are set up to take instructions to accept the offer.

 

Animas reminds its shareholders to tender their shares as soon as possible because there is a process that various brokerage firms follow which takes days and if the shares are not tendered as soon as possible, shareholders may miss the Offer deadline of February 28, 2014.

 

Animas encourages all shareholders to:

 



--  Give detailed instructions to their broker or Computershare.

--  Read the documents carefully for instructions on how to tender the
    shares.

--  Complete the instructions as soon as possible.

--  Follow up with your broker to ensure your instructions have been
    followed.
 

Pursuant to GoGold’s offer holders of Animas Shares will receive $0.07 in cash and 0.0851 of a common share of GoGold for each Animas Share and one GoGold Share for each $0.94 of cumulative in-the-money value of Animas Warrants, calculated using the Offer Price, rounded down to the nearest whole GoGold Share. Today’s estimated value of the offer is approximately $0.19 per Animas share.

 

The board of directors of Animas has unanimously recommended that holders of Animas Shares and holders of Animas Warrants deposit their Animas Shares and Animas Warrants to the Offer. Shareholders holding approximately 63.7% of the issued and outstanding Animas Shares (approximately 66.9% on a fully-diluted basis) have agreed to deposit or cause to be deposited their Animas Shares to the Offer.

 

The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:

 



--  275% over the closing price of the Animas Shares on the TSX-V on
    December 6, 2013 and 289% over the 20-day volume-weighted average
    closing price of the Animas Shares as at December 6, 2013; and

--  88% over the closing price of the Animas Shares on the TSX-V on December
    27, 2013 and 138% over the 20-day volume-weighted average closing price
    of the Animas Shares as at December 27, 2013.
 

 

Benefits of the Offer:

 

For Securityholders, in addition to the above-noted significant premiums, the proposed offer will represent:

 



--  Ongoing participation in the exploration and development of the Santa
    Gertrudis Project;

--  Enhanced liquidity for Securityholders in the form of cash and GoGold
    Shares;

--  An opportunity to participate in the upside of GoGold's Parral mine,
    which is expected to start production in 2014;

--  An opportunity to enhance and accelerate development of the Santa
    Gertrudis Project through a dedicated team with a proven track record in
    Mexico; and

--  A strengthened balance sheet to support growth strategies.
