In a recent development, Silver Mountain Resources Inc. has announced a new compensation plan for its directors, allowing them to receive part of their fees in the form of class A common shares. This decision, effective from July 1, to June 30, , aims to align the interests of the directors with those of the shareholders, potentially enhancing the company’s performance and commitment to its stakeholders.
The plan indicates that the directors will receive their compensation quarterly, with the option to convert a portion of their fees into shares rather than cash. The decision to implement a share-based compensation structure reflects the company’s strategy to foster a deeper connection between the directors and the overall success of Silver Mountain Resources.
Details of the share compensation plan
The shares provided as compensation will have a four-month and one-day hold period starting from their issuance date. The price of the shares will be calculated based on the volume-weighted average closing price of the common shares over the last five trading days of each quarter. However, the price will not fall below the minimum discount allowed by the TSX Venture Exchange policies, ensuring that the compensation remains compliant and fair.
Financial implications and approvals
The total estimated value of the compensation plan is approximately USD $210,908. Given that the directors involved are classified as Non-Arm’s Length Parties under TSXV regulations, the issuance of shares must be approved by the disinterested shareholders. This approval was successfully obtained during the annual general and special meeting held on June 24, .
