Soltoro Announces Closing of Previously Announced Acquisition by Agnico Eagle Mines

09.06.2015  |  Marketwire
TORONTO, Jun 9, 2015 - Soltoro Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SOL) ("Soltoro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce today that it has concluded the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. ("Agnico Eagle") has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Soltoro. Soltoro is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle.

The Arrangement was approved on June 4, 2015 at a Soltoro special meeting by approximately 99.95% of the votes cast by Soltoro securityholders. Final approval for the Arrangement was obtained from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on June 8, 2015. As a result, Soltoro's common shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and Agnico Eagle will apply to the relevant securities commissions for Soltoro to cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws.

Former Soltoro President and CEO, Andrew Thomson commented "I would like to thank the entire Soltoro team for their hard work and determination which resulted in the successful transaction with Agnico Eagle. A special thanks is extended to our shareholders and former partners who provided us with the funding to advance our projects over the years. Through this transaction, Agnico Eagle has enhanced its portfolio of exploration and mining assets in Southwestern Mexico with a view to advancing their development in the Guachinango district. We also look forward to shareholders continued support in Palamina Corp."


The Arrangement

Under the Arrangement, each Soltoro common share was exchanged for 0.00793 of an Agnico Eagle common share, C$0.01 in cash, and one common share of a newly formed Ontario company named Palamina Corp. valued at C$0.02 per share, which was spun off to former Soltoro shareholders under the Arrangement.

Full details of the Arrangement and certain other matters are set out in the management information circular of Soltoro dated May 5, 2015 (the "Information Circular"). A copy of the Information Circular can be found under Soltoro's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
