Sherritt Responds to Requisition
TORONTO, July 31, 2026 – Sherritt International Corporation (“Sherritt” or the “Corporation”) (TSX:S) today announced
its response to the requisition received from Kyma Capital Opportunities Master Fund Limited (“Kyma”), a beneficial
shareholder, on July 22, 2026 to reconstitute the Board with two new directors and Kyma's existing Board nominee.
Following careful review and consultation with legal counsel, the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has
determined that the requisition is rendered ineffective under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”),
because the Corporation has already announced an annual meeting to be held on December 15, 2026, published a
record date of October 30, 2026, and given written notice to the Toronto Stock Exchange in accordance with the CBCA.
Notwithstanding this determination, the Corporation has advised Kyma that it will convert the previously announced
annual meeting into a combined annual and requisitioned special meeting and will include all of the proposals set out
in the requisition as business to be considered at the meeting.
As previously announced in the Corporation's news release dated July 13, 2026, and as communicated to Kyma, the
determination of the December 15, 2026 meeting date was informed by the Corporation's ongoing discussions
regarding the potential transaction contemplated by the non-binding term sheet with Gillon Capital, LLC. In considering
Kyma’s requisition, the Board observe s that the date selected will also allow the Corporation to continue its efforts to
engage and present an auditor for appointment at the meeting, which further supports the Board’s initial determination.
