Big Bear Gold Corp. Announces AGM Results and Adoption of Omnibus
Long-Term Incentive Plan
Vancouver, BC, Canada, April 9, 2026 – Big Bear Gold Corp. (TSXV: BEAR) (the “Company”) wishes
to announce the results of its 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2026 AGM”) held on April
6, 2026. Shareholders voted in favour of all matters brought before the meeting, including re-appointing
Davidson & Company LLP, as the Company’s auditor and approving the Company’s new Omnibus Long-
Term Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). In addition, Peter Laipnieks, Corey Klassen, Allen Schwabe
and Matt Wayrynen were all re-elected as directors of the Company.
The Omnibus Plan provides the Company with a variety of security-related mechanisms to attract, retain,
and motivate qualified directors, employees, and consultants. The Omnibus Plan replaced the Company’s
prior stock option plan and includes (i) a 10% “rolling” option plan, permitting a maximum of 10% of the
issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at the date of any option grant to be reserved
for option grants; and (ii) a fixed plan permitting 3,279,129 common shares to be reserved for grants of
restricted share units, deferred share units, performance share units and other share-based compensation
awards. The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to align the interests of directors, employees, and consultants
with the interests of shareholders and the long-term goals and success of the Company, and to enable and
encourage the directors, employees and consultants to acquire shares as long-term investments. A
summary of the Omnibus Plan can be found in the 2026 AGM Information Circular, filed under the
Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) on March 11, 2026. The Omnibus Plan, in its entirety,
is attached as Schedule “B” to the Company’s 2026 AGM Information Circular. The Omnibus Plan is subject
to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The Company greatly appreciates the participation of its shareholders and their support.
