AEM added: "The transaction is expected to result in the sale or transfer of a material amount Prism's assets and may result in a material change in Prism's business. Depending on market conditions and other factors, Agnico Eagle may, from time to time, acquire additional common shares or other securities of Prism or dispose of some or all of the common shares or other securities of Prism that it owns at such time."

AEM was down $9.04 or 3.65% to $238.71 in Canada yesterday.
