Barrick Gold starts out its statement about the proposed acquisition of Equinox Minerals with the customary blather about the target’s quality, the fact that the deal fits its strategy and how it will be accretive to earnings per share. Once that is out of the way though, chief executive Aaron Regent says something unique: the deal “does not dilute our shareholders’ gold exposure per share”.
巴里克黄金公司(Barrick Gold)拟议收购Equinox Minerals的声明，以例行的废话作为开场白：收购目标品质良好，这笔交易与自身战略相契合，以及它将如何逐步提升公司的每股收益。不过，废话一结束，巴里克的首席执行官亚伦•瑞金特(Aaron Regent)还是说了一句特别的话：这笔交易“不会稀释我们股东的每股黄金敞口”。
