Yamana Gold said on Tuesday it had agreed to be acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines and Pan American Silver Corp, ending a deal with Gold Fields.
The Agnico-Pan American cash-and-stock offer, made last week, values the Canadian miner at about $4.8 billion.
Gold Fields had agreed to buy Yamana in an all-stock deal valued at $6.7 billion in May.
But a slump in shares after the deal was announced dented the valuation and at Thursday’s close Gold Fields’ offer was worth just north of $4 billion.
Yamana said its board has changed its recommendation on the pending deal with Gold Fields and now unanimously recommends that shareholders vote against the merger.
