The Offerings will result in the issuance of a number of Common Shares greater than 25% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding Common Shares and as a result will require shareholder approval under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). As a result, the Offerings are expected to be completed in two tranches, with the first tranche scheduled to close on or about August 8, 2024, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree for all placements other than a portion of shares being subscribed for by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“Fairfax”) and Agnico Eagle, and the second tranche for that number of Common Shares in excess of the 25% threshold, that are to be subscribed for by Fairfax and Agnico Eagle, to be completed as soon as practicable once shareholder approval has been obtained.

The completion of the Offerings is subject to certain additional conditions including, but not limited to, the execution of an agency agreement, the execution of a revised subscription agreement with Agnico and the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including that of the TSX.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offerings shall be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period commencing on the day of the closing of the Offerings under applicable Canadian securities laws. The securities being offered have not, nor will they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons in the absence of U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements.
