OreCorp Inks Deal With Silvercorp. Perseus In The Wings?

By David Blennerhassett

  • Western Australian-based miner OreCorp Ltd (ORR AU) has signed a Scheme Implementation Deed with Canada’s Silvercorp Metals (SVM CN).
  • Assuming the Scheme is successful, OreCorp shareholders will receive A$0.15 in cash and 0.0967 new Silvercorp shares – or an implied value of A$0.60 – for each OreCorp share held.
  • A shareholder meeting is expected to be held in mid-November with implementation expected end-Nov, early-Dec. Separately, Perseus (PRU AU) is understood to be kicking OreCorp’s tyres.

OreCorp (ORR AU): Silvercorp’s Binding Proposal

By Arun George

  • Orecorp Ltd (ORR AU) has entered a SID with Silvercorp Metals (SVM US) at A$0.15 cash and 0.0967 SVM shares per ORR share, a 31.5% premium to the undisturbed price.
  • The offer is attractive compared to the adjusted exchange ratios and historical prices. However, the offer is light in comparison to peer multiples. 
  • The bid could spur Perseus Mining (PRU AU), a rumoured suitor, to show its hand. At the last close, the gross spread of the offer is 19.1%.
