Quebec Precious Metals Announces Shareholder Approval of Arrangement with Fury Gold
MONTREAL, QC AND TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 22, 2025 / Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY)(NYSE American:FURY) ("Fury") and Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (TSXV:QPM)(FSE:YXEP) ("QPM") are pleased to announce that, at the special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders ("QPM Shareholders") of common shares of QPM (the "QPM Shares") held today, QPM Shareholders overwhelmingly voted in favour of the special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution") to approve the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act with Fury Gold Mines Ltd. ("Fury Gold") pursuant to which Fury Gold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding QPM Shares in exchange for 0.0741 of a Fury Gold common share (each whole common share of Fury Gold, a "Fury Gold Share") for each QPM Share. Based on the 20-day volume weighted average price of the QPM Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and the Fury Gold Shares on the TSX as of February 25, 2025, the consideration payable by Fury Gold implies a value of C$0.04 for each QPM Share. Further, each (i) option to purchase a QPM Share (an "Option"), (ii) warrant to purchase a QPM Share (a "Warrant"), and (iii) option to purchase a QPM Share granted to certain QPM intermediaries and brokers (a "Broker Option" and collectively with the Options and Warrants, the "Convertible Securities") outstanding immediately prior to completion of the Arrangement will, upon the holder's exercise of the applicable Convertible Securities, entitle such holder to receive (and such holder will accept) Fury Gold Shares in lieu of the QPM Shares to which such holder was entitled upon such exercise, and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefore.
Holders of a total of 50,449,020 QPM Shares were present virtually or represented by proxy at the Meeting, which constituted a quorum of Shareholders, and represented 48.67 % of the 103,646,498 issued and outstanding QPM Shares entitled to vote as of March 17, 2025, the record date for the Meeting.
The Arrangement Resolution required the approval of: (i) at least two thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the QPM Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and (ii) a simple majority of the votes cast by QPM Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy at the Meeting after excluding the votes cast by certain persons whose votes were required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("MI 61-101").
Of the votes cast at the Meeting, 88.72 % of the votes cast by QPM Shareholders were in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (88.77% after excluding the votes cast by those persons whose votes were required to be excluded in determining minority approval for the Arrangement pursuant to MI 61-101).
QPM will seek a final order (the "Final Order") of the Superior Court of Québec (the "Court") to approve the Arrangement on April 25, 2025. Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including receipt of the Final Order. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent, it is expected that the Arrangement will be completed on or about April 28, 2025. Following completion of the Arrangement it is expected that QPM Shares will be delisted from the TSXV and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
