OceanaGold to Acquire Ausgold for A$549m
OceanaGold agreed to acquire Ausgold via an Australian court-approved scheme of arrangement for about A$549m, with an expected close by Dec 2026 subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. Ausgold holders receive 0.03365 OceanaGold shares each (A$1.36) or cash from a pool capped at A$194m, and are projected to own 6–8% of the enlarged group. Ausgold directors and major shareholder back it, with a proposed A$20m bridge loan for working capital.
