Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. Announces Engagement of INFOR Financial to Provide Independent Fairness Opinion to the Special Committee
Vancouver BC, May 8, 2026: Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (TSXV: BKM) (OTC Pink: PBMLF) ("Pacific Booker" or the "Company") today announced that INFOR Financial Inc. ("INFOR Financial") has been engaged to provide an Independent Fairness Opinion to the special committee (the "Special Committee") of the board of directors (the "Board") of Pacific Booker in connection with the unsolicited all-share takeover bid (the "Hostile Bid") by American Eagle Gold Corp. ("American Eagle").
As previously announced, on April 14, 2026, American Eagle commenced the Hostile Bid, pursuant to which American Eagle is offering to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") of Pacific Booker. On April 27, 2026, the Board established the Special Committee, comprised of independent directors Jonathan McCullough and Gregory Anderson, to, among other things, review and consider the Hostile Bid. On April 29, 2026, following careful consideration and receipt of the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, and after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the Company filed a directors' circular in which the Board recommended that shareholders of Pacific Booker (the "Shareholders") do not tender their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid.
INFOR Financial is a Toronto-based independent advisory investment bank which has been retained to deliver an Independent Fairness Opinion to the Special Committee regarding the adequacy of the consideration offered to the Shareholders under the Hostile Bid. INFOR Financial's compensation will be a fixed fee that is not contingent on the conclusions reached in its opinion or on the outcome of the Hostile Bid or any alternative transaction.
