On September 24, 2018, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement with respect to a recommended share for share merger (the “Merger”) with Barrick Gold Corporation, a company continued in the Province of British Columbia, Canada and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange (“Barrick”). Pursuant to the Merger, Randgold shareholders on the register at the Scheme (as defined below) record time are entitled to receive 6.1280 Barrick shares for every Randgold share they held prior to the Merger. The Merger was implemented by way of a Scheme of Arrangement under Article 126 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (the “Scheme”). The Scheme was approved by the shareholders of Randgold at a Court Meeting and an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 7, 2018, and the Scheme Court Order confirming the Scheme was sanctioned and announced on December 17, 2018. The Merger was effective as of January 1, 2019.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance but unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under any of the Registration Statements, if any, as of the filing date of these Post-Effective Amendments. Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
