NOVAGOLD supplements proxy for Donlin Gold deal after shareholder demand letters
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
