NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") are investigating the proposed sale of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT and TSX: PZG) to Coeur Mining, Inc. (CDE). Immediately prior to completion of the merger, Paramount will spin-off to its existing stockholders a separate, publicly traded company, expected to be named Paramount Nevada Gold Corp. ("SpinCo"), a subsidiary that owns the Sleeper Gold Project and other assets in Nevada. As part of the transaction, Coeur will provide $10 million in cash to SpinCo and receive a 4.9% common share interest. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of Paramount will receive (a) 0.2016 Coeur shares per Paramount share, equal to $0.90 based on Coeur's 20-day volume weighted average price of $4.47 as of December 16, 2014; and (b) a pro rata share of the 95.1% of SpinCo shares to be distributed to Paramount stockholders. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the Company.

If you believe that this transaction undervalues the Company and/or if you would like to discuss your legal rights regarding the proposed sale, you may, without obligation or cost to you, e-mail or call KSF Managing Partner Lewis S. Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com) or associate Michael J. Palestina (michael.palestina@ksfcounsel.com) toll free at any time at 855-768-1857.
