This arrangement implies a purchase price of C$0.655 per Gold Standard share, a gross consideration of C$242 million and a 35% premium based on recent pricing.

Other members of the NGE team included Partner Elaine Taussig of the Corporate & Securities practice group and Jeffrey Shamberg, Chair of the Taxation practice group.
