Calvista Gold Corporation Announces Combination with AUX Acquisition 3 S.A.R.L.

19.10.2012  |  Marketwired
TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2012 - Calvista Gold Corporation (TSX:CVZ) (OTCQX:CAGOF) ("Calvista" or the "Company") is pleased to announce today that it has entered into an arrangement agreement with AUX Acquisition 3 S.A.R.L. and 2346408 Ontario Inc. (collectively, "AUX") pursuant to which AUX has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") and the in-the-money warrants to acquire Common Shares ("Warrants") of Calvista by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement") at a price (the "Offer Price") of C$1.10 per Common Share in cash, and pay the in-the-money value for the outstanding options.

The Offer Price represents a significant premium of 62% to the closing price of Calvista's Common Shares of $0.68 on October 18, 2012, and a premium of 100% to the ten day volume weighted average trading price of $0.55 for the ten trading days preceding the announcement of the Arrangement. It is anticipated that the Arrangement will close on or before December 31, 2012.

The Board of Directors of Calvista (the "Board") upon a recommendation of the special committee of the Board and upon consultation with its financial and legal advisors, has determined that the Arrangement is fair to the holders of Calvista Common Shares and Warrants, that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Calvista and the holders of Common Shares and Warrants, and accordingly, have approved the entering into of the Arrangement agreement and recommended that holders of Common Shares and Warrants vote in favour of the Arrangement. Members of the Board and senior management have entered into lock-up agreements, as have certain of Calvista's significant shareholders with respect to their securities held, and all have agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

To date shareholders representing 26.09% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares have entered into Shareholder lock-up agreements and agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all necessary court, regulatory, shareholder and warrantholder approvals. Calvista may terminate the Arrangement agreement under certain circumstances, including if the Board determines in good faith that it has received a Superior Proposal (as such term is defined in the Arrangement agreement). If Calvista terminates the Arrangement agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, it must pay a break fee of C$2 million.

The Arrangement is subject to the approval of 66 2/3% of the votes cast at a special meeting of holders of Calvista Common Shares and Warrants to approve the Arrangement (the "Calvista Meeting") that is expected to occur by the middle of December, 2012. An information circular regarding the Arrangement will be filed with the applicable regulatory authorities and mailed to holders of Calvista's Common Shares and Warrants in accordance with applicable securities laws. The record date for the Calvista Meeting will be announced in the near future.

Mark Haywood, the CEO of Calvista commented that "This Arrangement is a result of a compelling proposal received by the Board of Directors. The offer recognizes the growth potential of our assets and allows holders of Calvista's Common Shares and Warrants to realize immediate cash consideration representing a substantial portion of this future value today."

Calvista has engaged Haywood Securities Inc. as its financial advisor and Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP as its legal counsel. Haywood Securities Inc. has provided an opinion to the Board of Calvista, based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications in such opinion, that the consideration to be received by holders of Calvista Common Shares and Warrants is fair from a financial point of view to such holders. AUX has retained BMO Capital Markets as its financial advisor and Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP as its legal counsel.
