Heclaโ€™s Deal with Aurizon Has More Value and More Cash Than the Alamos Bid -

http://web.tmxmoney.com/article.php?newsid=58749011&qm_symbol=ARZ

Hecla Mining Company Research Report

Hecla Mining has strongly urged its shareholders to reject the
Alamos offer in regards to the acquisition of Aurizon Mines Ltd.
With Hecla's offer superior to Alamos by CAD$0.27, it also includes
a 68% higher cash component.
President and Chief Executive officer, Phillips S. Baker, Jr. said,
"Tendering to the Alamos offer risks depriving Aurizon shareholders
of the premium our offer represents as well as the significant
upside we see in a Hecla-Aurizon combination.
As a North America focused precious metals producer, we believe the
combined company will deliver increased value well into the
future."
Separately, Aurizon today reiterated its recommendation that
shareholders support the Hecla transaction and do not tender into
the Alamos offer or withdraw tenders already made.
Aurizon urged shareholders who have tendered to immediately
withdraw tendered shares.

Good idea!
Completion of the arrangement is expected to occur with effect from June 1, 2013. With completion of the acquisition, Aurizon's shares are expected to be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange with effect from the close of trading on June 5, 2013, and the NYSE MKT is expected to suspend trading in Aurizon shares prior to the opening of the market on June 3, 2013, with the last day of trading being May 31, 2013. http://www.aurizon.com/English/News/News-Releases/News-Releases-Details/2013/Aurizon-Announces-Results-of-Hecla-Arrangement-Consideration-Elections/default.aspx

The deal is done -

For each share of Aurizon, Shareholder will receive :


1) 3.11 in cash
2) 0.3446 in Hecla share
3) 0.3446 x 3.86 = 1.33 ( HL day trading range 4.03 / 3.86 )
4) 3.11 + 1.33 = 4.44
5) 4.44 / 0.96693 = 4.59 CAD ( with exchange rate )
4.59 CAD / share is the deal
Aurizon day trading range 4.27 / 4.03
A possible/easy 10% of profit to do here ?

We are almost at parity for AZK and HL shares which makes sense, I suppose. Now the question is just what is the combination will be worth. Will the increase in number of outstanding shares and debt associated with the acquisition completely offset the new value of combined assets? We will know very soon and the trading today might provide a clue.

On the surface, the drop defies logic, but obviously there is something going on here. It may simply be that there is widespread misunderstanding and fear of the arrangement with Hecla. We should know the truth very soon.

I'm still mystified at the recent strategy of many AZK investors who sold at 3.60 and less. What were they thinking? Either, they did not understand the Hecla deal or I'm missing some major warning sign.

Full disclosure: I'm usually the last one to catch on.

If I read this press release correctly, the cash payout per share will be around $3.46 prorated. A little disappointing, but not much less than the Alamos offer. Still, the price of gold is probably the most significant factor at this point.

I opted for the $4.75 yesterday on most of my AUZ holdings. Although I was conflicted about the move, I think there is a lot of confusion about the value of this deal between Aurizon and Hecla.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
flemsnopes flemsnopes 11 years ago
One would have to assume many investors don't understand the cash option of this deal, OR they don't believe it. Of course, it does say "subject to proration", but it seems unlikely any proration would be nearly as large as the difference between the $4.75 and the current price around $3.60. I could understand taking the cash and buying back at a lower price, but selling now at this level seems inexplicable to me.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
flemsnopes flemsnopes 11 years ago
The all cash deal is certainly looking better at $4.75 today as the market appears to be discounting the value of the combination of the two companies to only .20 to .25 more than Hecla alone!
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
flemsnopes flemsnopes 11 years ago
Unless you actively "file an election" by 4 PM EDT tomorrow, you will receive .9953 of a Hecla share and no cash. The problem shareholders face, in my humble opinion, is exactly what a Hecla share will be worth after the consummation of the acquisition. Unfortunately, neither Aurizon or Hecla has done a very good job of clarifying the issue.

"In view of the potential for significantly different treatment of shareholders who file an election and those who do not, shareholders are urged to file an election. If an election is not made, the shareholders will be deemed to have elected to receive 0.9953 of a Hecla share in respect of each Aurizon share, subject to pro-ration. Hecla's closing share price on May 3, 2013 was US$3.44 on the NYSE. The cash election consideration is $4.75 per share, subject to pro-ration."
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
oldberkeley oldberkeley 11 years ago
I have a few very basic questions and I apologize in advance to the long-time, knowledgeable holders.

1. Let's assume that the HL purchase is voted in. When would it actually take effect?

2. As I understand it, each AZK shareholder will receive $3.11 in cash and 0.3446 of a Hecla share for each Aurizon share. Is this correct?

3. Will a person's brokerage automatically credit their account the cash amount, and automatically replace the AZK shares with the proportionate amount of HL shares?

TIA.

While it may be little more than irrational panic, the markets clearly don't believe the company is telling the whole truth about this incident. Management needs to provide more public information immediately. Of course, it may be a great opportunity for Hecla to buy some cheap shares if such a move is legal or possible.

There appears to be continued apprehension among investors about this "minor" spill. It would be nice for the company to issue a statement to further reassure the markets, and even better if the government agency with oversight would issue a report. How hard could it be to take a few pictures and detail the extent of any release into the environment?

Heclaโ€™s Deal with Aurizon Has More Value and More Cash Than the Alamos Bid -

http://web.tmxmoney.com/article.php?newsid=58749011&qm_symbol=ARZ

Hecla Mining Company Research Report

Hecla Mining has strongly urged its shareholders to reject the
Alamos offer in regards to the acquisition of Aurizon Mines Ltd.

With Hecla's offer superior to Alamos by CAD$0.27, it also includes
a 68% higher cash component.
President and Chief Executive officer, Phillips S. Baker, Jr. said,
"Tendering to the Alamos offer risks depriving Aurizon shareholders
of the premium our offer represents as well as the significant
upside we see in a Hecla-Aurizon combination.
As a North America focused precious metals producer, we believe the
combined company will deliver increased value well into the
future."
Separately, Aurizon today reiterated its recommendation that
shareholders support the Hecla transaction and do not tender into
the Alamos offer or withdraw tenders already made.
Aurizon urged shareholders who have tendered to immediately
withdraw tendered shares.

Alamos says not to extend Aurizon tender offer 03/19 01:25 PM



March 19 (Reuters) - Alamos Gold Inc (AGI:$14.63,00$0.60,004.28%) said it would not extend its offer for Aurizon shareholders to tender their shares after it failed to overturn a break-up fee payable to rival bidder Hecla Mining Co. (HL:$4.08,00$-0.14,00-3.32%)
Alamos said it would not take up any Aurizon shares that were tendered to its offer. The tender offer is slated to expire today.
Alamos, which is Aurizon's largest shareholder with a 16.11 percent stake, made its unsolicited C$780 million offer in January. Hecla topped Alamos' bid with a friendly C$796 million offer on March 4.
Alamos Gold (AGI:$14.63,00$0.60,004.28%) CEO John McCluskey told Reuters on March 12 that the company was likely to walk away from a bid to buy Aurizon Mines (AZK:$4.30,00$-0.09,00-2.05%) if it loses the regulatory ruling on the merits of a second poison pill adopted by Aurizon and the break fee committed to rival bidder Hecla Mining (HL:$4.08,00$-0.14,00-3.32%) .
The British Columbia Securities Commission on Monday rejected Alamos' application against the break-up fee of C$27.2 million to Hecla but ruled in favour of Alamos's application for the removal of the poison pill.
"The Aurizon Board, by adopting this unique type of break fee, has foreclosed the opportunity for Aurizon shareholders to tender to Alamos' superior offer," McCluskey said in a statement on Tuesday.
Alamos CEO John McCluskey told Reuters on March 5 that about 13 percent of Aurizon's outstanding shares had been tendered in its favor. However, Aurizon quoted Alamos's counsel as saying during the hearing at the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) that only 6.5 percent Aurizon's shares had been tendered.
Hecla shares closed at $4.08 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday. Shares of Aurizon closed at C$4.48, while those of Alamos closed at C$14.98 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Garima Goel in Bangalore; Editing by Supriya Kurane)

Aurizon Takes Steps to Ensure Equal Treatment of All Shareholders
7:01a ET March 11, 2013 (Market Wire)
The Board of Directors of Aurizon Mines Ltd. (TSX: ARZ)(NYSE MKT: AZK) announced today that it has adopted a new shareholder rights plan (the "New Rights Plan").

The purpose of the New Rights Plan is to ensure equal treatment for all shareholders in connection with any transaction to acquire control of Aurizon. Concerns regarding potential unequal treatment of Aurizon shareholders have arisen because of the March 6, 2013 waiver by Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos") of the 66 2/3% minimum tender condition to its unsolicited take-over bid (the "Alamos Bid"). Of particular concern to Aurizon's Board of Directors are Alamos' public statements that it has waived its minimum tender condition and anticipates acquiring a sufficient number of additional shares of Aurizon to defeat the arrangement transaction with Hecla. In an interview given to Business News Network on March 5, 2013, John McCluskey, the President and CEO of Alamos said "We extended our offer in order to take up the maximum number of shares that we can in order to block that arrangement from going through." Based on these public statements by Alamos, Alamos is attempting to deprive Aurizon's shareholders of the opportunity to consider and choose any transaction other than the Alamos bid. The Board of Directors of Aurizon concluded that there is a substantial risk that Aurizon shareholders may be coerced into tendering to the financially inferior offer by Alamos in order to avoid being left as minority shareholders in a company controlled by Alamos.

George Brack, Chairman of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors said, "The changes to Alamos' bid and public statements of their intent make it clear that Alamos simply wants to impede shareholder choice by denying Aurizon's shareholders any opportunity to consider other transactions such as the Hecla arrangement. The New Rights Plan does not prevent Alamos or any other party from making a better offer. It simply ensures that Aurizon's shareholders will have an opportunity to make a choice."

The New Rights Plan will terminate on the earliest of (a) the date that is two Business Days after the meeting of Aurizon shareholders to approve the Arrangement; (b) the date that more than 50% of the outstanding common shares held by shareholders (other than the bidder and its affiliates) have been deposited or tendered to a bid and not withdrawn; (c) the date that is two Business Days after the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (d) June 30, 2013.

The net effect is that unless more than 50% of the Aurizon shares (excluding shares held by Alamos) are tendered to the Alamos Bid, the New Rights Plan will remain in place until the Aurizon shareholders have had an opportunity to vote on the Arrangement or until the Arrangement has been terminated for any reason, including in the event that Aurizon receives a superior proposal that is not matched by Hecla in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement.

While the New Rights Plan is immediately effective, it remains subject to regulatory approval. A copy of the New Rights Plan will be filed today and will be available at www.sedar.com, www.aurizon.com/maximizevalue and as part of the registration statement on Form 8-A to be filed by Aurizon and available at www.sec.gov.

Alamos Announces Waiver of Minimum Tender Condition and Extension of Offer for Aurizon
3:12p ET March 5, 2013 (Market Wire)
Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI)(NYSE: AGI) ("Alamos" or the "Company") today announced that, in connection with its previously announced offer (the "Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Aurizon Mines Ltd. ("Aurizon"), it has waived the minimum tender condition (the "Minimum Tender Condition") under the Offer as described in the bid circular dated January 14, 2013 (the "Circular"). The Company also announced that, as a result of such change to the terms of the Offer, it is required to extend the expiry date of the Offer until 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on March 19, 2013. All other terms of the Offer remain unchanged.

Alamos has decided to waive the Minimum Tender Condition primarily because, based on expressions of support from several large shareholders of Aurizon received following the Hecla proposal, Alamos fully expects to receive at least an additional 17.3% of the outstanding Aurizon shares in order to defeat the merger of Aurizon with Hecla as proposed by the Aurizon Board. The US$500 million debt financing for the Hecla acquisition proposed by the Aurizon board is conditional upon Hecla receiving the support of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Aurizon shares. Alamos will oppose the Hecla proposal.

In relation to the Hecla acquisition proposed by the Aurizon Board of Directors, Alamos notes the following:


-- Timing of Option by Aurizon Board - Hecla has disclosed that it had
confidential discussions regarding merging Hecla with Aurizon on
December 18, 2012. On December 18, 2012 and December 20, 2012, the
Aurizon Board of Directors awarded itself and Aurizon officers more than
1.1 million options. The Aurizon Board has been critical of the Alamos
Offer as opportunistic and inadequate at C$4.65, yet at the same time
awarded themselves 1.1 million options at C$3.61.
-- Fairness Opinion - Bank of Nova Scotia, which is acting as financial
advisor to the Aurizon Board, presumably on a success fee basis, has
delivered an opinion to the Aurizon Board that the Hecla offer is fair
to Aurizon shareholders. Bank of Nova Scotia is also lending Hecla the
US$500 million it is using to finance its bid for Aurizon.
-- Value of Alamos Offer - The Aurizon Board has repeatedly claimed that
the Alamos Offer undervalues the Aurizon assets, yet the Hecla proposal
which the Aurizon Board approved has only a marginally higher cash per
share amount (ten cents) and generally is an inferior offer representing
far greater risks for Aurizon shareholders. Further, the expenses of
multiple teams of financial and legal advisors retained by the Aurizon
board and special committee materially diminish the value of Aurizon as
part of a post-transaction merged company.
-- Possible Illegal Break Fee - The Aurizon Board has agreed to give Hecla
C$27.2 million of Aurizon shareholders' money if Alamos acquires merely
an additional 17.3% of the of the Aurizon shares under the terms of
Alamos's existing Offer. This payment is not contingent on Alamos
increasing its offer, another offer emerging, or any additional value
being created for Aurizon shareholders, as is typically the case. Alamos
intends to challenge this break fee as it believes it may constitute an
improper defensive tactic or be otherwise inconsistent with take-over
bid law in Canada.
-- Hecla is Borrowing Heavily Against Aurizon to Finance the Acquisition -
Alamos can afford this acquisition, while it appears that Hecla cannot.
The company resulting from the Hecla - Aurizon merger proposed by the
Aurizon board will have up to US$500 million in debt. Under the Alamos
Offer, the combined company would have no debt.
-- Hecla has Hedged the Gold Production of the Combined Company - Under the
terms of its debt financing for this acquisition, Hecla has agreed to
hedge at least US$450 million of revenues from gold production. This
significantly reduces the exposure of Aurizon shareholders to any upside
in the gold price. Under the Alamos Offer, the combined company would be
unhedged.
-- Aurizon Shareholders will receive Hecla Shares - As a result of the pro-
ration mechanism under the Hecla offer, it is likely that all Aurizon
shareholders tendering to the Hecla offer will receive Hecla shares as
consideration, and will not receive cash only.


"The company that would be created by the combination of Alamos and Aurizon represents far greater value than the highly-leveraged, hedged, debt-laden, financially constrained company proposed by the Aurizon board through the Hecla merger," said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Just two weeks ago, we reported by far the best quarter and year-end results in our history. Alamos is among the lowest-cost gold producers and has no debt, a robust balance sheet, excellent cash flow, and an attractive near-term growth profile.

"Our goals over the next few years include achieving production that positions us as one of the 25 largest gold mining companies in the world, while remaining among the 10 lowest-cost mining companies in the world," Mr. McCluskey said.

How to Tender

Aurizon shareholders are encouraged to continue tendering their shares by completing the Letter of Transmittal included in the documents mailed by Alamos. Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. ("Kingsdale") is available to assist and can be reached at 1-866-851-3214 (North American Toll Free Number) or 416-867-2272 (outside North America). For shareholders whose certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver the certificates and all other required documents to Kingsdale prior to the expiry time, they may accept the Offer by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and returning it to Kingsdale as specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. If Aurizon Shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary, Aurizon shareholders should contact such intermediary and instruct it to tender their Aurizon Shares.

The Offer is open for acceptance until 5:00pm (Toronto time) on March 19, 2013, unless extended or withdrawn.

About the Offer

Alamos announced the Offer on January 14, 2013. Alamos filed the take-over bid circular (the "Circular") and related documents with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States on January 14, 2013. Aurizon shareholders are advised to read the Circular, the Notice of Extension and Variation dated February 19, 2013 (the "First Notice") and the Notice of Extension and Variation to be mailed by Alamos (the "Second Notice") as they contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the Offer and the procedures for depositing shares. Additional information about the Offer or copies of the Circular, the First Notice or the Second Notice may be obtained free of charge from shareholders' investment advisers, from Dundee Capital Markets, which is acting as Alamos' dealer manager, Kingsdale, which is acting as Alamos' depositary and information agent, at 1-866-851-3214 (North American Toll Free Number) or 416-867-2272 (outside North America) or by directing a request to the Investor Relations department of Alamos at 416-368-9932 (ext. 401).

On January 14, 2013, Alamos filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form F-10 and a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, each of which includes the Circular. Alamos encourages shareholders of Aurizon to read the full details of the Offer set forth in the Circular, the First Notice and the Second Notice, which, together, contain the full terms and conditions of the Offer and other important information as well as detailed instructions on how Aurizon shareholders can tender their Aurizon Shares to the Offer. Investors may also obtain a free copy of the Circular, the First Notice and the Second Notice and other disclosure documents filed by Alamos from the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com and from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Kingsdale has advised Alamos that, as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 4, 2013, 18,004,432 Aurizon Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn to the Offer, representing approximately 10.26% of the issued and outstanding Aurizon Shares. Aurizon shareholders who have already tendered their Aurizon Shares do not have to re-tender their Aurizon Shares or take any other action as a result of the extension of the expiry time of the Offer. To date, Alamos has not issued any Alamos shares or cash in connection with the Offer.

This press release does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities of Alamos or Aurizon.

Cautionary Note

No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained herein. This News Release includes certain "forward-looking statements". All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this release, including without limitation statements regarding forecast gold production, gold grades, recoveries, waste-to-ore ratios, total cash costs, potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of Alamos, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to mining and processing of mined ore, achieving projected recovery rates, anticipated production rates and mine life, operating efficiencies, costs and expenditures, changes in mineral resources and conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable reserves, and other information that is based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves.

Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Alamos' expectations include, among others, risks related to international operations, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of gold and silver, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Alamos' Annual Information Form. Although Alamos has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Note to U.S. Investors

Alamos prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to mineral resources in this presentation are defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Alamos may use certain terms, such as "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", "inferred mineral resources" and "probable mineral reserves" that the SEC does not recognize (these terms may be used in this presentation and are included in the public filings of Alamos, which have been filed with the SEC and the securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada).

The TSX and NYSE has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Alamos is calling me every day now, urging acceptance of their deal. They claim the Hecla deal is all debt and therefore not as good as their offer. The current stagnation in the price of gold is probably the only reason this hostile and seemingly inadequate offer from Alamos is still in play, and any uptick in gold would change that dynamic rather quickly in my opinion. For now I'm holding out.

Good point flemsnopes. I think the key to understanding it is to throw all free market supply and demand fundamentals out the window and acknowledge that the markets are as crooked as a dogs hind leg. The markets in general and precious metals in particular.

Jim Willie got it right when he hypothesized a grand collaboration between the government and the big banks to bankrupt and steal miners and their properties. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=85228914

Only the best will stand immune. I think the marriage of HL and AZK has the characteristics of a good deal. It's good both ways.

Here we have a stock with an optional CASH per share offer of 4.75 CAD from HL (with no HL shareholder approval needed), and we can't break $4.50 in spite of the fact we went to over $4.75 on a lower offer from Alamos! I never cease to be amazed at how inscrutable the markets can be. Presumably, I can buy at 4.42 and collect a minimum of 4.88(USD) in a couple of months. Not a bad deal.

If the USD/CAD exchange rate applies here,and I don't know any reason why it would not, the USD offer would be 4.88.
