JAGUAR MINING PROVIDES UPDATE ON STRATEGIC REVIEW PROCESS
Jaguar Mining Inc. is providing an update on the
review process that it previously announced was initiated by
its board of directors on Nov. 16, 2011.
The board has appointed a special committee comprised solely of
independent directors to review and evaluate any proposals received as
part of the review process and to assess whether any such
proposal may be more desirable than the continued operation of the
company on a stand-alone basis and to make recommendations to the
board thereon. The special committee is chaired by Gil Clausen and is
composed of Mr. Clausen, Gary German and John Andrews.
The company has retained JP Morgan Securities LLC as its financial
adviser and Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP as legal counsel to
assist the board and the special committee.
Over the past several weeks, through JP Morgan, the company has
solicited interest regarding a potential change of control or merger
transaction with the company.
Any proposal that may be received will be assessed relative to the
inherent value of the company's unique asset portfolio to
determine the most effective means of delivering value to the
shareholders of Jaguar. There is no assurance that this review process will result in a change of control or merger
transaction.
"For a number of months, Jaguar's share price has been disconnected from
the inherent value of the company's unique asset portfolio," said Mr. German, chairman of the board. "The special committee has been formed
to explore alternatives. Our board will not support a transaction that
does not deliver adequate value to our shareholders."
The board intends to provide a further update to shareholders as
circumstances warrant, likely in early 2012.
We seek Safe Harbor.
