HALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / November 5, 2024 / (TSXV:SSE) - Silver Spruce Resources Inc. ("Silver Spruce" or the "Corporation"), announced today that its shareholders voted in favour of all items of business brought before them at the Corporation's reconvened annual and special meeting of shareholders held on November 5, 2024 (the "Meeting"). The Meeting had been adjourned from the original meeting date of October 29, 2024 to today's date due to a lack of quorum.
At the meeting, the four nominees to the Corporation's Board of Directors, namely Michael Kinley, J. Gregory Davison, Kevin O'Connor and Kevin Thieneman were elected for the ensuing year.
Doane Grant Thornton (formerly Grant Thornton LLP) was re-appointed as the Corporation's auditor to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until its successor is duly appointed, at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board.
An ordinary resolution was passed by shareholders that amended and restated the Corporation's stock option plan dated April 18, 2022, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Details of the amended and restated stock option plan are contained in the Corporation's management information circular dated September 23, 2024.
Shareholders also passed a special resolution to approve a consolidation of the Corporation's common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every fifteen (15) old shares, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval (the "Consolidation"). The Consolidation may become effective at a date in the future to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, when the Board of Directors considers it to be in the best interests of the Corporation to implement such Consolidation, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the date hereof.
In the event that the Consolidation would result in the issuance of a fractional share, no fractional share shall be issued, and such fractional share will be rounded down in the case of a fractional interest that is less than 0.5 or rounded up in the case of a fractional share that is 0.5 or greater. The Corporation currently has 322,547,832 common shares outstanding. For illustrative purposes only, if the Consolidation were to occur as of today's date, there would be approximately 21,503,188 common shares issued outstanding.
Further details of the Consolidation are contained in the Corporation's management information circular dated September 23, 2024, which was filed and is available on SEDAR+ under the Corporation's profile. The Corporation will not declare a record date for the purposes of the Consolidation.
