pleased to announce that the Company has obtained a final order of
the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approving the previously
announced plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act
(Ontario) (the “
Arrangement”) involving Eldorado
Gold Corporation (“

is completed, Eldorado will, among other things, acquire all of the

to certain customary closing conditions. Assuming the satisfaction
