Insiders hold 2,726,865 of the Warrants (the "Insider Warrants") and the Warrant Amendments for the Insider Warrants are subject to disinterested shareholder approval. The Company anticipates obtaining shareholder approval at its next Annual General Meeting.
Insiders are "related parties" of the Company and therefore the Warrant Amendments affecting the Insider Warrants constitute a "related party transaction" as contemplated by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101). The Company relies on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements provided under section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair value of the Insider Warrants does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.
The amended warrant exercise price of $0.30 represents a 19.52% premium to the $0.217 five day volume weighted average price of Silver Elephant's common shares.
The Warrant Amendments remain subject to Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") approval.
The TSX has also advised that warrants held by Mr. Motz, an Insider as set out above, will be subject to a limitation on the exercise whereby he may not exercise any warrants if such exercise would result in Mr. Motz owning 20% or more of the voting rights attached to the Company's securities at the time of exercise, including any securities held by parties acting in combination or in concert with Mr. Motz (the "Warrant Exercise Limitation"). The Warrant Exercise Limitation will also apply to 400,000 warrants issued to Mr. Motz on January 15, 2025 which have an exercise price of $0.30 and expire on January 27, 2028. The Company anticipates seeking disinterested shareholder approval at its next Annual General Meeting to remove the Warrant Exercise Limitation.
