Neutral Impact 3 of 5 m&a Written later

NOVAGOLD filed voluntary supplemental disclosures to its circular and proxy statement for the proposed acquisition of Paulson's 40% Donlin Gold interest, which would raise its stake from 60% to 100%. The company said it denies the allegations in shareholder demand letters but added the information to avoid litigation and potential delay ahead of the November 3, 2026 special meeting.

Key points

  • The proposed all-share transaction would lift NOVAGOLD's Donlin Gold ownership from 60% to 100%.
  • Current NOVAGOLD shareholders, including Paulson's equity interest, would own about 65% of New NOVAGOLD.
  • Paulson's voting interest would be capped at 19.99%, while its economic interest would be about 39.7%.
  • Shareholders will vote at a special meeting on November 3, 2026; the circular was mailed on or about October 5, 2026.
