Analyst Update: Acquisitions, Upcoming Events, Credit Agreement, Subscription Agreements, and Exploration Update

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The U.S. stock market ended in red on Tuesday with energy stocks being the worst performers of the day. A less than expected December 2014 consumer confidence index (CCI) figure deterred investor confidence further. The U.S. CCI climbed to 92.6 in December from a revised 91.0 last month, below a post-recession high of 94.1 set in October 2014. The DJIA declined 0.31%, S&P 500 dropped 0.49% and the Nasdaq Composite weakened 0.61% during the session. The European stock market also declined, led by weakness in energy companies as Brent oil fell to a five and a half year low on persistent concerns about a global supply glut. The Asian stock market closed broadly lower too. The Japanese government on Tuesday agreed to a tax reform, approving a plan to cut corporate taxes by 2.51 percentage point from April 2015 and then by another 0.78 percentage points in the following year, in an effort to spur economic growth.

Leading coatings and specialty materials company, PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG Industries) has entered into exclusive negotiations with the AXSON Group to acquire REVOCOAT. The transaction would equip the Company with an enhanced product portfolio, strengthening its existing offering of sealant and adhesive products in the automotive industry.

Praxair, Inc. (Praxair) will showcase its most recent product, ColdFrontTM cryo-saver tunnel freezer at the International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, during January 27-29, 2015.

Precision Castparts Corporation (Precision Castparts) has entered into a 364-Day Credit Agreement with Bank of America, as Administrative Agent, Citibank, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agents.

Pretium Resources Inc. (Pretium) has agreed to enter into subscription agreements with certain shareholders who intend to maintain their respective pro rata interests in the Company in relation to previously announced strategic investment by Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (Zijin) for 12,836,826 common shares of Pretium.

Primero Mining Corp. (Primero Mining) provided exploration program updates for two locations - San Dimas mine and Ventanas exploration property, located in Mexico. According to the Company, its San Dimas mine exploration program is focused on increasing resources close to existing infrastructure, while its Ventanas exploration program is focused on increasing the existing resource and includes drilling on two past producing veins and systematic channel sampling.
