HGLC~~Hunt Gold Corporation -- Update on Takeover Bid
Company Confirms Serious Offer Which Could Lead to a Takeover of the Company
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 1, 2008) - Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) confirmed on July 31, 2008 that it had received, early yesterday morning, a serious Takeover Offer for the Company.
This offer to the Company was valued at US$0.025 per share. There were a number of conditions attached to this Offer and the Board of Directors requires more time before advising stockholders as to whether they can recommend this bid to stockholders.
The Company is reluctant to recommend any offer to its stockholders until such time as it has completed an accurate and updated valuation of all of its Gold Mining assets. This is expected to take at least another month.
The Board of Directors cautions stockholders that the offer was made by a highly aggressive Private Equity Group which may attempt (and succeed) to purchase large blocks of this Company's stock; thereby giving it control of this Company through the "Back Door." We are powerless to stop this should it occur.
The Board of Directors is seeking external advice on this Offer and will advise stockholders accordingly.
The Board is duty bound to enter into formal discussions with of all of the various bidders for the Company and with any other Bidders who step forward and make direct contact with us.
