Foundation Resources Makes Non-Binding Offer for Solid Gold
Foundation believes that the transaction, if completed will result in operational synergies that would benefit both companies' shareholders by creating a mid-tier Ontario gold exploration company and would create greater shareholder value and liquidity as a well as creating a Company with a larger market capitalization that may be attractive to a broader base of institutional investors.
SLD has not responded to the FDN Offer in any way, allowing it to lapse on November 19, 2012. Instead, on November 19, 2012 SLD announced a shares-for-debt settlement and private placement at prices approximately 25% below the FDN Offer as of November 14, 2012 and prices 17% below the FDN Offer based on current market. In light of this announcement, Foundation determined to make the FDN Offer public to allow all SLD security holders to consider the FDN Offer and communicate their views to the SLD board of directors.
