Recommendation to Shareholders
ISS noted in its report:
'There appears to be sound strategic rationale for the transaction which carries terms that are the result of a reasonable process, and ultimately joint offer, which should result in a more optimal combination of assets to enhance shareholder value. The deal is anticipated to be immediately accretive, has quantifiable synergy goals, and satisfies a longer term objective of delivering a material enhancement to the company's scale.'
Glass Lewis noted in its report: ' ... we consider Pan American has presented investors with a sound case for support here. In particular, we are inclined to share the board's view that the deal secures additional, complementary and prospectively attractive Latin American assets.'
