(“Waverley” or the “Corporation”) reported that all matters presented for approval at its annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 23, 2021 (the “Meeting”) were approved. Each of the matters voted upon at the Meeting are discussed in detail in the Corporation's management information circular dated May 25, 2021 (the “Circular”), which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

A total of 31,967,520 Common shares representing 91.12% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common shares were voted in person or represented by proxy in connection with the Meeting. The voting results for each matter presented at the Meeting are provided below:

1. Election of Directors

At the Meeting, each of the Corporation’s four directors, Fraser Buchan, Donn Burchill, John McBride and A. Murray Sinclair, were re-elected to the Waverley board of directors, each to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors are elected or appointed.

The detailed voting results were as follows:

2. Appointment of Auditor

MNP LLP was appointed to serve as the auditor of the Corporation for the ensuing year at remuneration to be fixed by the Waverley board of directors with 100% of votes cast in favour.

3. Approval of Arrangement Resolution

A special resolution authorizing a reorganization of Waverley’s business through a statutory plan of arrangement under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”), as more fully described in the Circular, was approved with 100% of votes cast in favour.

As previously announced, under the Arrangement, the Corporation plans to: (i) transfer its ownership and rights in the Tin City Tungsten-Silver-Lead-Zinc property (the “Tin City Project”) into Talmine Resources Ltd. (“Talmine”), (ii) transfer its ownership and rights in the Lauder Copper-Gold property (the “Lauder Project”) into Woodbridge Resources Ltd. (“Woodbridge”), and (iii) spin-out all of the securities of Talmine and Woodbridge to Waverley’s shareholders on a pro rata basis.

The Corporation intends to make an application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for a Final Order on June 25, 2021, and expects the effective date of the Arrangement to be on or about June 30, 2021.
