Background On 21 May 2019 Barrick announced that it had met with Directors and senior management of Acacia and presented a proposal for consideration by the independent directors of Acacia Independent Directors to acquire all of the Acacia shares it does not already own through a share for share exchange of 0.153 Barrick shares for each ordinary share of 10 pence each in Acacia the Proposal . On the basis of the market closing price of a Barrick share on the New York Stock Exchange on 17 June 2019 and the 410,085,499 Acacia ordinary shares in issue on that date this implies a value for Acacia of US 887.8 million and total consideration to the minority shareholders of Acacia of US 320.1 million. Barrick has provided regular updates to the Independent Directors and Acacia management as well as the opportunity to review and comment on documentation flowing from these negotiations. The GoT has, however, now made it clear that it is not prepared to enter into settlement agreements directly with Acacia. The negotiations with the GoT have advanced to the point where draft documentation now has been initialed by the GoT, albeit with a number of substantive issues still outstanding.
