SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Launches An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. And Encourages Investors To Contact The Firm For Additional Information


The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount" or the "Company") (NYSE: PZG) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Coeur Mining, Inc. ("Coeur").

On December 17, 2014 Paramount and Coeur announced the signing of a merger agreement pursuant to which Coeur will acquire Paramount in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $146 million. Under the terms of the transaction, Paramount stockholders are anticipated to receive 0.2016 Coeur shares for each share of Paramount common stock they own. In addition, prior to the merger close, Paramount will spin-off to its existing stockholders a separate publicly traded company ("SpinCo"), which is expected to apply for listing on the New Yor Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange. Paramount stockholders will receive a pro rata share of the 95.1% of SpinCo shares to be distributed to Paramount stockholders. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2015, though Paramount shareholders will most likely be asked to vote on the transaction well before that time.



The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common stock.
