As more fully described in the Company’s Information Circular dated August 9, 2023, shareholders were asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution to approve the: (i) issuance of a five-year convertible promissory note to defer a US$25 million current liability owed to Equinox Gold Corp.; and (ii) creation of Equinox Gold, and/or any affiliates of Equinox Gold, as a new “Control Person” of the Company.

Greg Smith, President & CEO of Equinox Gold, commented: “This debt financing enables us to pay down part of our revolving credit facility, providing immediate interest savings while also positioning us to manage the upcoming maturity of our April 2024 $140 million convertible notes.”

Shawn Howarth, President and CEO of Excellon, commented, “We are pleased to reach an agreement with Debentureholders. The restructuring announced today reduces debt with zero cash outlay and minimal equity dilution. We also thank Debentureholders, who have invested significant capital to support Excellon and continue to believe in the long-term potential of the Company.”
