Hello Darren and all;
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this extension also change the offer from Barrick?? In the previous offer they wished to achieve 50.1%, in this offer extension they wish to purchase "all of the shares of Argentina Gold."....................sure appears different to me??
I may have this mixed up, as I don't have the original offer in front of me at the moment, and I also noticed from to-days post that no one has been discussing this point??
"BARRICK EXTENDS OFFER FOR ARGENTINA GOLD Toronto, January 29, 1999...Barrick Gold Corporation announced today that it is extending its offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Argentina Gold Corp. for Cdn $5.00 cash per share to 12:01 a.m. (local time) on Tuesday February 9, 1999. Barrick's shares are traded under the ticker symbol ABX on the Toronto, Montreal, New York, London and Swiss Stock Exchanges and the Paris Bourse. This press release was sent to recipients of the investor@barrick.com email press release service. Passport Online, Barrick Gold's internet service provider, sincerely regrets the error and apologizes for any inconvenience."
Does this imply anything??
