Gold research firm Shareholders' Gold Council (SGC) on Monday criticised Goldcorp's decision to approve an additional payment for chairperson Ian Telfer with regard to its proposed merger with Newmont Mining.

According to a Goldcorp circular cited by SGC, Telfer will be entitled for a lump sum retirement allowance of about $12-million. He was previously entitled for $4.5-million.

"While Goldcorp is telling its shareholders to sell their shares close to a 13-year low, Goldcorp management stands to reap over $33-million in potential change of control payments," the statement said.

SGC's disclosed founding members include Adrian Day Asset Management and Paulson & Co, which together held a less than 1 percent stake in Goldcorp, as of December 31, according to data from Refinitiv.

Newmont said in January it would buy Goldcorp for $10-billion, creating the world's biggest gold producer.

Barrick Gold Corp on Monday withdrew its $18-billion bid for its biggest rival Newmont, a proposal that involved the US gold miner ditching its takeover of Goldcorp.
