ORRCF) (“Oroco” or “the Company”) announces that its shareholders have approved the
Company’s amended 10% rolling stock option plan (the “Plan”) at its Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders held on December 16, 2022 (the “Meeting”).
The Plan
The maximum number of common shares which may be issued under the Plan is 10% of the
Company’s issued and outstanding share capital at the date of grant. The Plan has a ‟rolling” limit,
as the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will
automatically increase as the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital increases. The limit
includes outstanding stock options previously granted. The Plan is subject to annual approval of
shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
A copy of the Plan was appended to the Company’s information circular pertaining to the Meeting
dated November 7, 2022 (the “Circular”) and is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR.
As further discussed in the Circular, the principal amendments to the Plan ensure compliance with
the revised Policy 4.4 of the TSXV and include: (i) a provision that allows for the net exercise of stock
options, as described in the Circular; (ii) that share capital adjustments are subject to the prior
approval of the TSXV, except where they relate to share consolidations or splits; and (iii)
disinterested shareholder approval is required for any extension to stock options granted to
individuals that are insiders at the time of the proposed amendment.
