NovaGold Resources Inc. entered into a series of agreements to reorganize under a new Delaware holding company, NovaGold Corporation (New NovaGold). Under a court supervised plan of arrangement, each existing NovaGold common share will be exchanged for one New NovaGold voting common share with a par value of $0.001.
Concurrently, Paulson Advisers will contribute affiliates holding a 40% interest in Donlin Gold LLC to New NovaGold in exchange for voting and non voting New NovaGold stock, with Paulson’s voting stake capped at 19.99 percent. A Master Implementation Agreement, Investor Rights Agreement and voting agreements with directors, officers and major shareholders coordinate these transactions.
Completion depends on NovaGold shareholder approval, British Columbia court orders, securities exchange and other regulatory approvals, limited dissent of no more than 10 percent of shares, absence of specified material adverse effects and closing of the contribution. The Investor Rights Agreement grants Paulson board representation, pre emptive, registration, standstill, voting and transfer rights linked to ownership thresholds.
NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC. plans a reorganization in which NovaGold Corporation, a new Delaware company, will acquire all existing NOVAGOLD shares on a one-for-one basis and become the listed parent. Substantially concurrently, Paulson Advisers’ affiliates will contribute their 40% interest in Donlin Gold LLC, increasing NOVAGOLD’s ownership of Donlin Gold from 60% to 100% in an all‑share transaction.
After completion, current NOVAGOLD shareholders (including Paulson’s existing stake) are expected to own approximately 65% of New NG, with Paulson indirectly receiving about 35% on a fully diluted basis and an overall economic interest of roughly 40%, while its voting interest is capped at 19.99%. Paulson’s new shares will be subject to a lock‑up that ends upon Donlin project financing, its ownership falling below 10%, or three years after closing. The board will expand to 11 directors, co‑chaired by Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan and John Paulson, with Paulson retaining board nomination rights tied to ownership thresholds.
The Arrangement requires court approval under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), stock exchange and regulatory approvals, and at least 66 2/3% shareholder support; holders of about 28% of NOVAGOLD shares have signed voting support agreements. Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. The transaction is intended to be tax‑free for U.S. federal income tax purposes but is expected to be a taxable disposition for Canadian income tax purposes. Donlin Gold currently contains approximately 40 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and is expected to produce about 1.1 million ounces of gold annually over a 27‑year mine life once in production.
