Centamin PLC
04 December 2019
 

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN, INTO, OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF THAT JURISDICTION

THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FALLING UNDER RULE 2.4 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE") AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CODE. THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT ANY FIRM OFFER WILL BE MADE.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

4 December 2019

 

 

Centamin plc

("Centamin" or "the Company")

(LSE:CEY, TSX:CEE)

 

 

BOARD OF CENTAMIN UNANIMOUSLY REJECTS ENDEAVOUR'S PROPOSAL

The Board of Centamin plc ("Centamin" or the "Company") notes the announcement by Endeavour Mining Corporation ("Endeavour") on 3 December 2019 regarding the unsolicited preliminary proposal for a potential all share combination between Centamin and Endeavour (the Proposal).

Centamin regularly considers potential strategic opportunities and does so through the correct communication channels and with non-disclosure agreements in place in order to best protect shareholders' interests. Centamin has communicated to Endeavour several times its willingness to engage on this basis and Endeavour has repeatedly refused to engage in a proper manner and allow the sharing of non-public information in order to better assess the value to shareholders of the potential combination. As a result, the Board of Centamin has reviewed the Proposal and the available public information on Endeavour with its financial and legal advisers and has concluded that the Proposal materially undervalues Centamin and that Centamin is better positioned to deliver shareholder returns than the combined entity.

·; The Board believes that the Proposal is skewed in favour of Endeavour's shareholders and fundamentally undervalues Centamin:

o The exchange ratio in the Proposal would result in Centamin shareholders owning only 47% of the shares of the enlarged company. However, Centamin would contribute:

§ 100% of H1 2019 free cash flow[1]

§ 100% of 2018 free cash flow1

§ 100% of H1 2019 dividend distribution1

§ 100% of 2018 dividend distribution1

§ 57% of Measured and Indicated resources2

§ 69% of Inferred resources2

o In addition, the above percentages do not take into consideration that whilst Centamin had cash and liquid assets as at 30 September 2019 of US$289 million[2] and no debt, Endeavour had gross debt and financial obligations of US$729 million[3] and net debt of US$599 million[4] as at 30 September 2019 and financial liabilities related to hedging and streaming obligations. Therefore, a significant portion of the cash flows derived from Endeavour's assets will not accrue to shareholders

·; The Proposal does not justify changes to the investment case for Centamin's shareholders:

o The Board believes that Endeavour has failed to demonstrate that the logic of the Proposal outweighs the risks to Centamin's established policy of distributing significant cash returns to shareholders

§ The Proposal puts at risk Centamin's shareholders' ability to continue receiving dividends at historic levels and exposes the Company to Endeavour's substantial US$729 million5 gross debt obligations, including debt obligations of US$310 million maturing in 2021[5]

§ The Company's strong track record of replacing reserves at Sukari means that despite producing more than 3.7Moz of gold to date, Sukari still has a current reserve life of more than 15 years

§ Centamin's shareholders would have material exposure to the deteriorating operating environment in Burkina Faso, where approximately 44% of Endeavour's attributable resources are located

§ Centamin shareholders are being asked to exchange their more liquid, London-listed Centamin shares for less liquid, TSX-listed Endeavour shares. Based on the last six months average daily value traded, Centamin's shares are 1.8x[6] more traded than Endeavour's shares.

·; The Board believes that the quality of Centamin's asset base deserves a premium:

o Endeavour's Proposal would result in Centamin's shareholders exchanging 100% direct exposure to a world-class gold asset for a reduced 47% exposure to the same asset within a broader portfolio of lower quality, higher risk assets.

Josef El-Raghy, Chairman of Centamin, said: "The Board strongly believes that Endeavour's proposal significantly increases financial and operating risk without any material benefits to our shareholders. Centamin's stated strategy has always been to maximise returns for all of its shareholders, having returned approximately US$500 million to shareholders since 2014. In addition, despite numerous requests, Endeavour has refused to enter into a customary non-disclosure agreement to allow the Board to further assess the Proposal. It is the Board's belief that the Proposal made by Endeavour sits in stark contrast with Centamin's strategy and we strongly advise our shareholders to take no action."

In conclusion, Centamin's Board unanimously rejects the Proposal and strongly advises shareholders to take no action. The Company will communicate with its shareholders again in due course with further details. 

Centamin shareholders should note that the announcement made by Endeavour does not amount to a firm intention to make an offer under Rule 2.7 of the Code. There can be no certainty that an offer will be made.

The person responsible for the release of this announcement on behalf of Centamin is Josef El-Raghy, Chairman.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Forward-looking Statements

This Announcement (including information incorporated by reference) contains "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including statements relating to the Proposal, statements with respect to future financial or operating performance, estimates of mineral reserves and resources and the timing and amount of future production, revenues, margins, costs and expenditures. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "expected", "budgeted", "forecasts" and "anticipates". Although Centamin believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Centamin can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Centamin about future events, and are therefore subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition, there are a number of factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the results of Proposal; general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the results of exploration activities and feasibility studies; assumptions in economic evaluations which prove to be inaccurate; currency fluctuations; changes in project parameters; future prices of gold and other metals; possible variations of ore grade or recovery rates; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; climatic conditions; political instability; decisions and regulatory changes enacted by governmental authorities; delays in obtaining approvals or financing or completing development or construction activities; and discovery of archaeological ruins. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information or statements.

4. This Announcement presents certain measures, including "free cash flow" that are not recognized measures under IFRS. The calculations of these measures and the corresponding data may not be comparable to those utilised and presented by other gold producers. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are realistic indicators of operating performance and are useful in performing year over year comparisons. However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS, and these measures, taken by themselves, are not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Please refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP financial measures" included in the Company's full year results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2018 and the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 filed under its profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com for further information respecting the non-GAAP measures used in this Announcement and a reconciliation of such measures to the closest GAAP defined measures.
