As previously disclosed by the Company, on May 1, 2024, Patrick Evans (CEO), Justin Byrd (CFO), Howard Bird (VP Exploration) and certain other employees (the "Terminating Employees") delivered notices (the "Terminating Notices") to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") terminating their respective employment agreements pursuant to change of control provisions in their respective employment agreements. On May 6, 2024, the Company, having received independent legal advice, entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the Terminating Employees, whereby the Terminating Employees agreed to hold in abeyance their Terminating Notices and continue their employment with the Company up to the Company's annual and special general meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on June 5, 2024. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company delivered approximately $4.0 million (the "Change of Control Payment") into trust until completion of the Meeting.
On May 27, 2024, Muddy Waters Capital LLC ("Muddy Waters") obtained an ex parte order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia restricting the distribution of the Change of Control Payment.
The Company announces that it has received correspondence from all Terminating Employees except Patrick Evans that they may be willing to rescind their Terminating Notices, continue their employment relationship with the Company and direct that their respective portions of the Change of Control Payment, totaling approximately $2.47 million, be returned to the Company if acceptable settlement terms are reached. Such settlement terms include a release and waiver from the Company in favour of such Terminating Employees. There is no assurance a settlement will be reached between the parties, that any of the Terminating Employees will rescind their Terminating Notices or that any portion of the Change of Control Payment will be returned to the Company.
For more information regarding the Terminating Employees, the Settlement Agreement and Muddy Waters' ex parte order, please see the Company's management information circular dated May 6, 2024 (the "Circular") and the Company's news releases dated May 29, 2024 and May 9, 2024.
