Giyani Metals Corp. (TSXV:EMM, GR:A2DUU8)
("
Giyani" or the "
Company") is
pleased to announce the granting of stock options (each an
“
Option”) under its existing Stock Option Plan.
Giyani is also announcing that the board of directors of the
Company has adopted a restricted share unit plan (“
RSU
Plan”) and has today conditionally issued restricted share
units (each an “
RSU”) under the new RSU Plan.
Grant of Options
The Company has granted an aggregate of
2,062,500 Options to certain officers and consultants of the
Company in accordance with the Company's current Stock Option Plan.
Each Option is exercisable into one common share (a
"Share") of the Company at a price of $53 per
Share for a period of five years from the date of grant, being
today. A total of 895,833 Options vest immediately with the
remaining 1,166,667 vesting over a two-year period.
Establishment of RSU Plan and Grant of
RSUs
The RSU Plan provides
for the granting of awards of RSUs to its directors, officers,
employees and consultants, which awards will vest into a Share of
the Company following a vesting period and for no further
consideration. The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued
under the RSU Plan together with Shares that may be issued on
exercise of stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall
not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares from time to
time.
The Company has also
conditionally granted 188,680 RSUs to an officer of the Company.
Each RSU will vest into one Share of the Company, or cash
equivalent, following the end of the vesting period. One-half of
the RSUs issued today will vest on the first anniversary of today’s
grant and the balance on the second anniversary, subject to the
terms of the RSU Plan.
The RSU Plan and the
grant of RSUs remain subject to the TSX Venture Exchange approval
and subsequent shareholder approval, which is to be sought at the
Company’s annual general and special meeting of shareholders
scheduled for June 17, 2021. No RSU granted today shall be
permitted to vest into a Share until both approvals have been
obtained. If either approval is not obtained, the RSU Plan will be
terminated and today’s RSU grant cancelled.
