Falco Resources Ltd. Increases Offer For Golden Queen Mining Consolidated Ltd.

20.03.2020  |  GlobeNewswire
MONTRÉAL, March 19, 2020 - Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: FPC) ("Falco" or the "Corporation") announces today that, in connection with the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with Golden Queen Mining Consolidated Ltd. ("Golden Queen"), announced on February 11, 2020, Falco decided to increase the consideration offered to the shareholders of Golden Queen ("Golden Queen Shareholders"). Golden Queen’s sole asset is a cash balance estimated at approximately $4.2 million at closing of the transaction.

As a consequence of recent extraordinary events, global market conditions and decline in its share price, Falco increases its initial offer to Golden Queen Shareholders and is now proposing an exchange ratio of 1.35 common shares of Falco for each common share of Golden Queen held immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement.

This represents an increase of approximately 15% to the 1.18 exchange ratio initially offered by Falco to the Golden Queen Shareholders. The shareholders representing 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden Queen have entered into voting and support agreements in favour of the transaction.

All other terms of the Arrangement remain unchanged and the completion of the Arrangement remains subject to obtaining required regulatory, stock exchange, court and other approvals, and satisfaction of closing conditions customary for a transaction of this nature.

The Arrangement is an arm’s length transaction within the meaning of applicable securities laws. However, while Mr. Bryan A. Coates is director of both Golden Queen and Falco, he did not participate in any deliberation of the Board of Directors of Falco. The Arrangement is deemed a non-arm’s length transaction pursuant to the TSX Venture Exchange’s policies.
