Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) will not make a new offer to acquire Vault Minerals (ASX:VAU) following a competing proposal by Genesis Minerals (ASX:GMD), according to a Monday filing with the Australian bourse.
Regis said it will not submit a counter proposal after Vault determined that the Genesis offer is superior to the agreement struck with Regis in early May.
"The Regis board has concluded that the terms that would be required to match the Genesis proposal to not meet the value and return thresholds that Regis applies to all growth opportunities," the company said.
It added that Vault is expected to terminate the Regis agreement, which will trigger a break-up fee of about AU$50.7 million in favor of Regis.
