CBH Resources shares surge on Revised Acquisition Proposal from Nyrstar
CBH Resources (ASX: CBH) has reported today that it has received a proposal from Nyrstar NV which could lead to a change of control transaction.
This follows an earlier proposal from Nyrstar in December 2009 which proposed to acquire all of the ordinary shares in CBH Resources at A$0.135 per share.
After consideration by the Board, it was not considered to be a superior proposal to certain transactions involving the Company's major shareholder, Toho Zinc Co. Ltd, as announced on 21 January 2010.
Nyrstar's Revised Proposal would include an improved cash payment of A$0.195 per CBH share or, at CBH’s shareholders’ election, scrip consideration comprising Nyrstar shares at an exchange ratio which would be set prior to announcement of the transaction at a level that would deliver value equivalent to A$0.195 per CBH share.
The CBH Board intends to provide a preliminary response to Nyrstar in respect of the Revised Proposal early next week, and has appointed a committee of the Directors independent of Toho to consider the terms of this response.
CBH Resources shares rose 28% to 18 cents in trading today.
