Tendering Inmet Shares into the First Quantum Offer before the Board of Directors and its advisors have had the opportunity to fully explore all available alternatives to maximize shareholder value may preclude the emergence of a financially superior alternative transaction.
The First Quantum Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 pm ET on February 14, 2013 and is subject to a number of conditions that have yet to be satisfied. The Board of Directors recommends that Inmet shareholders not take any action until closer to the expiry date to ensure that Inmet shareholders are able to consider all of the options available to them.
