Exhibit 99.1
Jaguar Mining Inc. Announces Adoption of a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan
JAG - TSX/NYSE
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, May 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Corporation") (TSX: JAG) (NYSE: JAG) is pleased to announce that the board of directors of the Corporation has adopted a shareholder protection rights plan, effective May 2, 2013 (the "Rights Plan"). The objective of the Rights Plan is to ensure, to the extent possible, that all shareholders of the Corporation are treated equally and fairly in connection with any initiative to acquire control of the Corporation.
The Rights Plan is not intended to and will not prevent a take-over of the Corporation. The purpose of the Rights Plan is to encourage a potential bidder to make a "Permitted Bid", having terms and conditions designed to meet the objectives of the Rights Plan, or to negotiate the terms of an offer with the board of directors of the Corporation. A Permitted Bid is a take-over bid that is made to all holders of voting shares of the Corporation (other than the bidder), by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws, that remains open for acceptance by shareholders of the Corporation for 60 days, and that satisfies certain other conditions.
The Rights Plan must be confirmed by shareholders within six months of its effective date. The Corporation currently intends to seek shareholder approval of the Rights Plan at its next annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on June 10, 2013.
The Corporation is not aware of any specific take-over bid for the Corporation that has been made or is contemplated.
A complete copy of the Rights Plan is available upon request. Shareholders wishing to receive a copy of the Rights Plan should make their request by telephone at (647) 494-5524 or by mail to Jaguar Mining Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 67 Yonge Street, Suite 1203, Toronto, Ontario, M5E 1J8. A copy of the Rights Plan is also filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
