Golden Minerals is a junior silver producer with a strong growth profile, listed on both the NYSE Amex and TSX.
"I wouldn't think that there would be any tax implications, mergers generally are structured so as to avoid adverse effects and I'm confident this one will be, too."
I would agree. But I'm wondering about page 6 of the presentation, where it says:
- 0.0500 Golden Minerals shares plus C$0.000394 for each ECU share
- To be implemented via a plan of arrangement
- Taxable transaction
Not sure what they mean by "taxable transaction"... Hopefully only the cash portion would trigger a tax event.
