SilverCrest Metals Inc. ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has approved amendments to the Company's new Equity Share Unit Plan (the "SU Plan") and its existing Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan") further to comments on the SU Plan received from an independent proxy advisory firm in order to align these two stock incentive plans with leading governance practices. The SU Plan, as amended, is subject to shareholder approval which is being sought at the Company's annual general meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 15, 2021 . The amendments to the Option Plan do not require shareholder approval.

As a result of the amendments, the Company's maximum allocations for the SU Plan and the Option Plan will now be an aggregate of 7% of the outstanding common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") from time to time, broken down as follows:

 
  • SU Plan – 1.5% (reduced from 4%) of the outstanding Common Shares from time to time to settle share units (including restricted share units and performance share units) and deferred share units granted under the SU Plan.
  •  
  • Option Plan – 5.5% (reduced from 10%) of the outstanding Common Shares from time to time for stock options granted under the Option Plan.
  •  

The reduced allocations of Common Shares for the SU Plan and the Option Plan are intended to reduce potential dilution to shareholders of the Company and the potential cost of these two stock incentive plans. At the same time, the Company will still, have the ability to, grant performance-based stock incentives that are aligned with evolving governance standards and the Company's transition towards precious metal production.

 

The amended and restated SU Plan and Option Plan are available on the Company's website https://silvercrestmetals.com/about-us/governance/ .

Top 5 Canadian Silver Stocks of 2025

The price movements stem from a tightening supply and demand situation, which has seen above-ground inventories squeezed due to an increasing need from industrial sectors, particularly the growing photovoltaics industry.

However, demand has also increased due to heightened investor interest in alternative safe-haven assets, as gold prices reached record highs. The shifting sentiment comes amid uncertainty over a US trade policy that could reduce the world's gross domestic product by 1 percent.
