OreCorp: Silvercorp Switches To Off-Market Bid
- On the 24 November, Silvercorp Metals (SVM CN) bumped its Scheme Offer for Orecorp Ltd (ORR AU) to A$0.19 in cash and 0.0967 new Silvercorp shares.
- At a 40.1% premium to undisturbed and key shareholder Tim Goyder (5.14%) supportive, this looked done. Then Perseus (PRU AU) built a 19.9% stake and said it would vote no.
- After postponing the Scheme meeting, Silvercorp and Orecorp have now agreed to an off-market takeover, on the same terms. The tendering threshold is 50.1%.
