The offering was made pursuant to exemptions from registration under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Yamana is a TSX- and NYSE-listed Canadian-based gold producer with significant gold production, gold development stage properties, exploration properties and land positions throughout the Americas including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Canada.
