Q: Any significance to the 'investigation' into the Silvercrest/Coeur arrangement?
5i Research Answer:
Nothing material. Such lawsuits/investigations are very common in any takeover/merger. Such deals can never make everyone happy. Lawyers typically launch such actions in the hope of getting a small payout. But payouts are very rare, and usually very low. They do happen, but we have yet to see one that is material to the company in question. We would not consider it a factor here.
