TORONTO, April 14,
2023 /CNW/ - Millennial Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:
MPM) (OTCQB: MLPMF) ("Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that both Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") and
Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis") have recommended that
Millennial shareholders vote in favour of the arrangement
resolution with Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra").
As an independent proxy advisory firm, ISS has approximately
3,400 clients, including many of the world's leading institutional
investors, who rely on ISS' objective and impartial analysis to
make important voting decisions.
ISS' analysis stated: "The transaction makes strategic sense as
the combination will provide shareholders with the opportunity to
continue to hold their investment in the assets of the company and
participate as shareholders of the purchaser in a larger and more
diversified company." ISS recommends that Millennial shareholders
vote FOR the arrangement resolution.
Glass Lewis is an independent proxy advisor to institutional
investors, covering 30,000 shareholder meetings each year, across
approximately 100 global markets. Their customers include the
majority of the world's largest pension plans, mutual funds and
asset managers who collectively manage over $40 trillion in assets.
In the analysis underpinning their endorsement that Millennial
shareholders vote FOR the arrangement resolution, Glass Lewis
noted, "the board [of Millennial] has presented a reasonable case
that the merger with Integra presents an attractive opportunity for
continuing shareholders and that the prospects of the combined
company have certain advantages compared to the Company's prospects
on a standalone basis."
REASONS TO VOTE FOR THE ARRANGEMENT
- Enhanced Scale & Diversification. The combined
company of Integra and all of its subsidiaries after giving effect
to the completion of the arrangement (the "Combined Company") will
have a portfolio that contains three of the top oxide heap leach
gold-silver projects in the U.S. not currently controlled by a
major mining company and will create a foundation for building a
new, Great Basin focused, precious metals producer.
- Strong Balance Sheet to Advance Projects. The Combined
Company will have a significantly strengthened balance sheet
allowing for meaningful advancement of key milestones at the
DeLamar gold and silver project, consisting of the neighbouring
DeLamar deposit and Florida Mountain
deposit, the Wildcat property and the Mountain View property.
- Improved Capital Markets Presence. The Combined Company
is expected to have enhanced institutional investor following,
increased size and trading liquidity in both Canada and the U.S., along with a strong
equity research following.
- Greater Potential for Value Creation. Combination of the
DeLamar Project, the Wildcat property and the Mountain View
property, with a sequenced development strategy, is expected to
result in greater value creation for the existing shareholders of
Integra and Millennial that would not be possible on a standalone
basis, balancing execution risks between the three projects.
- Wheaton Partnership. Strategic equity partnership with
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. provides transaction and project
validation and creates a pathway to project financing with an
industry leader.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU
OWN
The special meeting of the shareholders of Millennial will be
held at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, 3400 One First Canadian
Place, 100 King Street West, Toronto,
ON, M5X 1A4, at 4:00 p.m.
(Toronto Time) on April 26, 2023.
