By GlobalDataThe combined company, which is estimated to have combined adjusted 2022 revenues of $19.6m, will have an eight-member board comprising members from existing directors of both Elemental and Altus.
Altus CEO Steven Poulton believes that the merger will create a ‘strong and dynamic income-generating champion’ in the mining royalty space.
Poulton commented: “Our enlarged scale and combined revenues will not only enhance our access to further high-quality royalties but will also potentially reduce our cost of capital going forward.”
Elemental CEO and director Frederick Bell said that the deal will deliver materially increased revenue, scale and market relevance to both companies.
Bell stated: “The complementary nature of the portfolios and management teams alongside fast growing revenue from a portfolio of predominantly producing royalties will deliver significant benefits to shareholders.
“In addition, the combined company will have a low-cost royalty generation business arm to complement the continuing acquisition of producing royalties.”
