RE:RE:Today Is Not A Good Day as Calibre Mining Buys Marathon Gold Technically speaking, its not a merger as Marathon Gold shareholders will get approximately .6162 Calibre Mining share per Marathon Gold share.
This transaction is more of a takeover than a merger as Calibre will have control over the company.
Secondly, mergers usually have two companies consolidating to form a new company with previous entitles still operating autonomously, and usually uses a new name, such as Kraft Heinz when Kraft Foods and Heinz merged or Square Enix when Square Soft and Enix Corporation merged in 2003.
