To proactively deal with the unprecedented public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic, also known as COVID-19, and to mitigate risks to the health and safety of communities, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, Excellon is inviting its shareholders to participate in the meeting by dialing in to its conference line at: 1-800-319-4610 (North American Toll Free) or 1-416-915-3239 (Outside North America).

Arrangement

On February 24, 2020, Excellon entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with Otis, whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, Excellon will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Otis (the "Otis Shares") on the basis of 0.23 of an Excellon common share for each Otis Share.


Benefits of the Arrangement

Excellon and all of its subsidiaries immediately following the completion of the Arrangement (the "Combined Company") will be a well-financed precious metals producer with established silver production in Mexico and an attractive gold development project in the United States. The Arrangement is an initial step in Excellon becoming a larger multi-asset precious metals company with the following foundation for further growth:

  • Enhanced portfolio of projects: The Arrangement combines Platosa's high-grade silver production with the high return and low risk Kilgore development project, creating a pipeline for growth. Furthermore, it adds two significantly undervalued gold assets, Kilgore and Oakley, to Excellon's portfolio and amplifies the Combined Company's exposure to precious metals in the early stages of an anticipated bull market.

  • Significant exploration upside: Active exploration on four key mineral trends including the CRD and Fresnillo epithermal silver trends in Mexico, the re-emerging Idaho gold region, and the historic Freiberg district in Saxony, all known for multi-million ounce precious metal discoveries.

  • Geographic diversification: Diverse, well-established mining jurisdictions across two continents, reducing single asset risk and positioning the Combined Company for further growth in North America.

  • Enhanced capital market profile: The Combined Company will be well financed with US$10 million in cash and available funds, with a pro forma combined market capitalization of approximately C$122 million (based on the basic outstanding shares of the Combined Company after giving effect to the exchange ratio under the Arrangement and the price of common shares of Excellon (the "Excellon Shares"), immediately prior to the announcement of the Arrangement) and will be listed on the TSX. The Combined Company also intends to apply for a listing on the NYSE American LLC stock exchange ("NYSE American") in the United States which may increase its capital markets presence, trading liquidity and shareholder base.

  • Re-rating potential: Expanded resource base and production growth profile of the Combined Company is expected to demand a more attractive valuation and provide re-rating potential in line with larger precious metals peers

  • Proven board and management: Board and management that can discover, permit, finance, develop and operate mining assets to industry leading standards, with proven experience in North America.
