Stock Symbols: AEM (NYSE) AGE (TSX)
TORONTO, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited
announced today that it expects that the Swedish Financial Supervisory
Authority will complete its review of Agnico-Eagle's offer document in
connection with Agnico-Eagle's previously-announced recommended exchange offer
to the shareholders of Riddarhyttan Resources AB (publ), a Swedish public
company, within the next few days. As soon as practicable following completion
of the Swedish FSA's review of the offer document, Agnico-Eagle will file an
amendment to its registration statement on Form F-4, which includes the offer
document, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and will request
that the registration statement be declared effective by the SEC. After the
registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, the offer document
will be mailed to the shareholders of Riddarhyttan. The acceptance period for
the offer will be open for a minimum period of 20 business days following the
mailing of the offer document to Riddarhyttan shareholders.
U.S. Shareholders
Agnico-Eagle has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4
containing an offer document regarding the offer, but the registration
statement has not yet become effective. The Agnico-Eagle shares to be issued in
the offer may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This press release does not
constitute an offer to purchase or sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell
or purchase shares of Riddarhyttan or Agnico-Eagle to any person in the United
States of America, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction
or to, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation
S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended). The offer will be
made to those persons solely under the offer document that is part of the
registration statement. Investors and stockholders are advised to read the
offer document and other documents relating to the offer carefully when the
documents become available, because they will include important information
regarding the offer. At that time, investors and stockholders may obtain a free
copy of the offer document and certain other documents relating to the offer
from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/. Free copies of these documents
can also be obtained by directing a request to Agnico-Eagle. YOU SHOULD READ
