Further, all change of control payments payable to officers of Reyna Gold under executive compensation agreements will be waived in connection with the Transaction.
Completion of the Transaction will, among other things, require the approval of: (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the REYG Shareholders; and (ii) if required, a simple majority of the votes cast by REYG Shareholders, excluding for this purpose the votes of “related parties” and “interested parties” and other votes required to be excluded under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, with all votes to occur at a special meeting of REYG Shareholders expected to take place in September 2024 (the “Reyna Gold Meeting”).
