Q: Hi Peter and Team, as a follow up to P/BRD question, I was hoping for some thoughts on the following as well but did not phrase my question accordingly. Any possibility that Goldcorp, G, would put Primero into play for the balance of the company they don't already own?
From the proposed transaction;
The proposed transaction will be completed pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement and will require approval by at least 66% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Brigus at a special meeting. The issuance of Primero common shares in connection with the proposed transaction will require the approval of a majority of the shareholders of Primero voting at a special meeting. Goldcorp Inc., which holds approximately 27% of the outstanding Primero common shares, has agreed to vote in favour of the proposed transaction. The directors and senior officers of each of Primero and Brigus have also entered into support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favour of the proposed transaction. It is anticipated that the shareholder meetings will be held in February 2014. Full details of the proposed transaction will be included in management information circulars to be mailed to the shareholders of Primero and Brigus as soon as practicable.
Any thoughts on SpinCo and its assets?
Thanks!
