Seabridge Gold has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of shares from SnipGold Corp (formerly Skyline Gold Corporation) through a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia, BC).
The transaction will primarily influence the development of SnipGold’s Iskut property and Seabridge’s world-class KSM copper-gold project. The two neighbouring properties are based in the Golden Triangle area of BC, Canada.
As per the transaction, SnipGold shareholders will receive 1/63rd of a common share of Seabridge in return for each share it held in SnipGold, representing an offer price of C$0.29 ($0.22) per SnipGold share, for a total consideration of approximately C$9.9m ($7.67m).
Seabridge is expected to issue approximately 600,000 shares to SnipGold’s existing shareholders, representing a 1.14% share in the combined company. If a termination of the transaction occurs, Seabridge would offer SnipGold interim debt financing of up to C$400,000 ($300,000), which could be repaid within 90 days.
