Full summary
Regis Resources Limited (ASX: RRL) has decided not to submit a counterproposal to match the competing proposal made by Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) to Vault Minerals Limited (ASX: VAU).

Regis remains in a strong position with a debt-free balance sheet, $1.2 billion in cash and bullion, and a clear pathway of organic growth opportunities. Following the Vault Board's determination that the Genesis Proposal is superior, Regis anticipates that Vault will terminate the Scheme Implementation Deed, resulting in a break fee of approximately A$50.7 million payable to Regis.
