Award composition and pricing
The company followed its earlier release with additional detail on the composition of the awards and their retention purpose. The grant comprises 475,700 stock options and 445,175 restricted share units (RSUs).
Each option entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of C$9.88, reflecting the closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange on February 12, . The options carry a five-year term from the grant date.
The RSUs represent a conditional right to receive common shares or their cash equivalent upon vesting. The award includes an additional allocation of 197,800 RSUs that complements earlier awards. The company said the awards are intended to strengthen longer-term retention and align compensation with shareholder value creation.
Vesting schedules and participant groups
The company said vesting schedules and the identity of participating individuals are set out in the grant documents and consistent with its equity compensation plan. Vesting terms are designed to link reward to continued service and performance, the company said.
The board retains discretion to interpret plan terms and to approve adjustments where permitted by plan rules and applicable exchange policies. Further details will be disclosed in the company’s regulatory filings as required.
The company structured the awards to balance immediate incentive with retention. Options and RSUs will vest in equal installments across two staggered periods: twelve months and twenty-four months. Portions of each grant therefore become exercisable or payable at multiple intervals. The schedule is designed to support continuity in leadership and sustained operational execution.
Recipients comprise company directors, executive officers, consultants and employees. The awards combine upside participation offered by stock options with the value protection of RSUs. Unlike options, RSUs do not require an exercise payment and deliver share-based compensation upon vesting.
Strategic rationale and company overview
Company executives said the tiered vesting aligns individual incentives with medium-term corporate objectives. The structure encourages retention while preserving potential upside for participants and shareholders. It also smooths the timing of equity dilution by staggering when shares become available.
The mix of instruments targets different goals. Options provide leverage if the share price rises. RSUs offer guaranteed value to key personnel regardless of near-term market movements. Together they aim to retain institutional knowledge and sustain project delivery during the next phases of the company’s strategy.

Metalla is pursuing a strategy of building a diversified portfolio of royalties and streams across gold, silver and copper exposures. The approach combines exposure to commodity price upside with a portfolio of assets that can generate steady cash flow.
Equity grants form a routine element of the company’s corporate governance and compensation framework. Management and employees receive awards intended to align their interests with those of shareholders by tying rewards to long-term value creation. The company says these awards also support retention and incentivize execution of its acquisition and portfolio-management strategy.
Metalla frames its objective as increasing shareholder value through the acquisition of royalties and streams that offer attractive returns. The company relies on an experienced management team to identify opportunities and manage the portfolio toward growth and resilience.
