GOLDCORP OFFER FOR WHEATON RIVER SHARES
Information Concerning Wheaton River Warrants
- •
- Goldcorp has not made an offer for Wheaton River warrants.
- •
- Wheaton River warrantholders do not need to take any action to benefit from the Goldcorp offer.
- •
- Once the second step acquisition transaction is completed, Wheaton River warrants will become exercisable for Goldcorp shares. As a result:
- •
- Each four regular warrants and each four Series A warrants, which have an exercise price of C$1.65 and expire on May 30, 2007, will entitle warrantholders to purchase one Goldcorp share at an exercise price of C$6.60.
- •
- Each four Series B warrants, which have an exercise price of $3.10 and expire on August 25, 2008, will entitle warrantholders to purchase one Goldcorp share at an exercise price of $12.40.
- •
- For example, a warrantholder with 400 Wheaton River warrants which are exercisable for 400 Wheaton River shares at an exercise price of C$1.65 (C$3.10) would be entitled to exercise those warrants for 100 Goldcorp shares at an exercise price of C$6.60 (C$12.40) after the completion of the second step acquisition transaction.
- •
- Wheaton River warrants will continue to trade on the TSX and be exercisable for Wheaton River shares prior to completion of the second step acquisition transaction.
