Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE: CLF) (Paris: CLF) announced today that it has executed a definitive support agreement with Spider Resources Inc. (“Spider”) (TSXV: SPQ) under which Spider has agreed to support Cliffs’ previously disclosed all-cash offer for Spider at Cdn.$0.19 (“Cliffs’ All-Cash Offer”) per Spider share.
KWG Resources Inc.(“ KWG”)(TSXV:KWG)今天早上向Spider告知,KWG不会提交要约以匹配Cliffs的全现金优惠。结果,KWG和Spider(“合并协议”)之间的合并协议已终止,Spider已向KWG支付了CDN的终止费,230万美元。
根据与悬崖的支持协议,蜘蛛取消了计划于2019年7月8日举行的蜘蛛股东特别会议,以考虑KWG和Spider之间的拟议合并。
Cliffs的Ferroylys业务部门总裁William C. Boor说:“悬崖的报价为蜘蛛股东提供了直接的价值,流动性和确定性。”“我们鼓励蜘蛛股东在7月6日的截止日期之前招标其股票,以利用我们的全现金报价。”
Spider总裁兼首席执行官Neil Novak补充说:“我们同意全力支持悬崖,因为悬崖的全现金报价显然符合蜘蛛股东的最大利益。蜘蛛的所有董事和官员都同意根据Cliffs的全现金报价招标其股份,我们强烈建议所有其他蜘蛛股东也招标。”
Cliffs’ All-Cash Offer for Spider represents a 138% premium over the closing price of the common shares of Spider on the TSX Venture Exchange on May 21, 2010, the last trading day prior to Cliffs’ announcement of its intention to bid for the common shares of Spider. Cliffs’ All-Cash Offer implies a total equity value for Spider on a fully-diluted basis of Cdn.$125 million.
