Peruvian mining company Alpayana intends to make an all-cash takeover offer worth about 179 million Canadian dollars (US$126 million), for miner Sierra Metals.
Privately held Alpayana said Monday it intends to launch a bid to buy up all of Sierra Metals' shares for 85 Canadian cents apiece, and was taking its offer directly to Sierra shareholders.
Alpayana said this offer represents a 26% premium to the average trading price of C$0.676 a share over the 30 trading days prior to Dec. 13. It represents a 10% premium to Sierra's Friday closing share price of C$0.77. Sierra's stock had risen 2.7% since the start of the year.
Alpayana said that the company will be better off under its own stewardship, a family company which it said carries no debt and has annual revenue of over $500 million.
