NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR
FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO, ON – TheNewswire -- August 22, 2024 – Silver Crown Royalties Inc. (Cboe Canada: SCRI) (“Silver Crown” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends to issue 11,250 common shares of the Company (each, a “Bonus Share”) at a deemed price per share equal to the market price and cash bonuses in the aggregate amount of C$185,000 to certain officers and directors of the Company. On the recommendation of the Board’s compensation committee, the Board approved the issuance of the Bonus Shares and cash bonuses in recognition of the contributions of those officers and directors to the success of the Company’s recently completed going-public transaction and listing of the Company’s common shares on the Cboe Canada Inc. exchange.
The issuance of the Bonus Shares constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101: Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Bonus Shares does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. No new insiders will be created, nor will any change of control occur, as a result of the issuance of the Bonus Shares. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Bonus Shares transaction as the details and amounts of the bonuses were not finalized until closer to the closing and the Company wishes to close the transaction as soon as practicable, which the Company deems reasonable.
