Eldorado Gold (EGO) is moving higher after the company disclosed voting results from its April 7, 2026 special shareholder meeting, where shareholders approved the resolution to issue shares in connection with its proposed plan of arrangement to acquire Foran Mining. The approval removes a major overhang after public opposition from some investors and proxy-adviser scrutiny heading into the vote.

The share-issuance vote is a core closing condition for the transaction structure and signals that investors are backing Eldorado’s push to expand its copper exposure alongside its existing gold portfolio. With the shareholder hurdle cleared, attention shifts to remaining closing steps—most notably final court approval—before the companies can complete the arrangement.

Eldorado has indicated the deal is expected to complete around April 14, 2026, assuming remaining conditions (including the court process) are satisfied. Traders are now likely to focus on timing certainty, any final regulatory/court developments, and how the combined company will finance and execute its near-term development pipeline once the transaction closes.
