St Barbara Ltd (SBM AU) and Genesis Minerals (GMD AU) will merge via a scheme at a gross exchange ratio of 2.0338 SBM shares per GMD share. 
The deal metrics are favourable for GMD shareholders. The gross exchange ratio is attractive and values GMD at a slight premium to mid-cap ASX peers on an EV/Resource basis. 
The likely pushback from SMB shareholders is that the terms were struck from a position of share price weakness. However, the low SMB shareholder voting threshold (50%) will help.
