-- Emerita Resources (EMO.V) after trade Monday confirmed it received an unsolicited takeover offer from Denarius Metals to acquire all of its shares at a 15% premium to their April 10 closing price, with consideration structured entirely in Denarius shares.
The company said Denarius has not provided additional terms in its offer letter, stating only that it is open to discussions with Emerita and has now publicly disclosed the offer.
Emerita said its board, with its advisors, will review the proposal and decide what is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders. Shareholders do not need to take any action at this time.
"Emerita cautions its shareholders and potential investors that the offer letter is non-binding and there can be no certainty that Denarius' offer or any other strategic transaction will be pursued by Emerita, supported by the board or ultimately completed," the company said, adding that it will provide updates as needed.
The company's shares closed up $0.06 to $0.32 on the TSX Venture Exchange
