Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Mining Corporation signed an implementation agreement to create a joint venture combining their respective mining operations, assets, reserves, and talent in Nevada. The joint venture will allow them to capture an estimated $500m in average annual pre-tax synergies in the first five full years of the combination, which is projected to total $5bn pre-tax net present value over 20 years.
Barrick will be the operator of the new joint venture. Barrick will hold 61.5% of the ownership, while Newmont will own 38.5%. Board representation will be based on ownership. The establishment of the joint venture is subject to the usual conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the coming months. The joint venture will exclude Barrick's Fourmile project and Newmont's Fiberline and Mike deposits, pending the determination of their commercial feasibility.
"We listened to our shareholders and agreed with them that this was the best way to realize the enormous potential of the Nevada goldfields' unequalled mineral endowment, and to maximize the returns from our operations there. We are finally taking down the fences to operate Nevada as a single entity in order to deliver full value to both sets of shareholders, as well as to all our stakeholders in the state, by securing the long-term future of gold mining in Nevada," said Barrick President and CEO, Mark Bristow
"This agreement represents an innovative and effective way to generate long-term value from our joint assets in Nevada and represents an important step forward in expanding value creation for our shareholders. Through the joint venture, we will also continue to pursue the highest standards in safety, along with responsible and meaningful engagement with our employees, communities, and other stakeholders," said Gary Goldberg, CEO of Newmont.
Earlier, on 11 March 2019, Barrick Gold Corporation withdrew its $18bn hostile bid for Newmont Mining. The bid, which was announced last month, was firmly rejected by Newmont. Instead, the companies opted to form a joint venture in Nevada.

Activist hedge fund Starboard Value, which holds a small stake in Bristol-Myers, is urging its shareholders to vote down the Celgene deal.

To win support for the deal, T-Mobile previously said it would not increase prices for three years. Sprint said it hopes to complete the regulatory approval process by the end of June.

Blackstone’s GSO competing for €1.5bn financing deal on Advent’s €3bn acquisition of Evonik. (FS)
Blackstone made an effort to offer a €1.5bn ($1.7bn) loan to back a deal done by its rival, Advent International. The offer — the largest of its kind — was eventually rejected last week. However, the scale of the potential financing is seen as a sign that private equity groups are posing a challenge to the traditional banking services.
The loan from GSO, Blackstone’s credit division, would have backed Advent’s acquisition of Evonik’s acrylic sheets business. The listed German chemicals company announced it was selling its unit best known for producing Plexiglas for €3bn ($3.4bn), with private equity group Advent beating other bidders including petrochemicals group Ineos.
According to Financial Times, Advent declined GSO’s offer because the debt would have cost significantly more than the leveraged loans, placed with institutions, it has opted for. Blackstone’s deal would have carried an interest rate as high as 7.5 percentage points above the benchmark. Recent leveraged loans have generally come in at 4-4.5%.
Ford praised the partnership with VW.

Arcline raised $1.5bn PE fund. (FS)
Arcline Investment Management, a U.S. private equity firm set up by former Golden Gate Capital dealmaker Rajeev Amara, raised $1.5bn, the largest debut for a North American buyout fund in almost a decade. Arcline began fundraising in October and closed at its "hard cap" limit, or the maximum it could raise.
Arcline's strategy is to buy middle-market industrial businesses, which the firm defines as companies with less than $1bn in revenue, and boost earnings without using add-on acquisitions.

Intellectual property services provider IPH offered to buy smaller rival Xenith Ip Group for about AUD175m ($124m). IPH is offering AUD1.97 ($1.39) in cash and equity for each share in Xenith. The offer represents a premium of about 23% to Xenith's last close.
Xenith is in the process of merging with peer QANTM Intellectual Property. QANTM made an all-equity bid for the company in November 2018 and offered 1.22 of its shares for each share in Xenith. IPH, which had acquired a nearly 20% interest in Xenith last month, said its proposal was superior to QANTM's, and that it planned to vote against the proposal.
"We believe our proposal to Xenith provides a great opportunity to bring together two high-quality IP businesses and to draw on the strengths, skills and advantages of each member firm to realise opportunities for our people, our clients and our shareholders," said Dr. Andrew Blattman, Managing Director & CEO, IPH.

The company has very good manufacturing processes and internal controls and is run by a very capable team.”
Verdant Minerals agreed to an acquisition by London-based private equity firm CD Capital of all of the issued shares in Verdant, other than shares held by major shareholder Washington H. Soul Pattinson.
Should the scheme be implemented, Verdant shareholders will receive 3.2 Australian cents (2.3 cents) per share held as at the scheme record date (June 17, 2019). This values Verdant at about AUD41m ($29m) on a fully-diluted basis and represents a 113% premium to the closing price of its shares on March 8, 2019, of 1.5 Australian cents (1 cent), being the last trading day before this announcement.
Commenting on the Scheme, VRM's Managing Director, Chris Tziolis, said "The advancement of the Ammaroo Phosphate Project will require significant capital which, at the market capitalisation and share price prior to the offer, is highly unlikely to be raised from existing shareholders and without very significant dilution. Subject to an independent expert's report and in the absence of a superior competing proposal, I have voted with my fellow independent directors to recommend CD Capital's proposal to VRM's shareholders."
Ashurst advised Verdant Minerals. EY Law advised CD Capital.

Etihad will also infuse between INR16n ($229m) and INR19bn ($272m) to raise its shareholding to 24.9%. The exact details will be known once the Jet-Etihad deal is finalized.
