Silvercorp Announces Changes to Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Omnibus Plan

16.09.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Sept. 16, 2019 - Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp” or the “Company”) (TSX/NYSE American: SVM) today announces certain changes to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Company’s amended and restated share based compensation plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) made to be consistent with evolving corporate governance best practices in Canada.

Change in Membership of Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

Dr. Rui Feng has resigned from the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee effective immediately. David Kong, an independent director, has been appointed as a member of the Committee.

Changes in the Omnibus Plan

The Omnibus Plan has been revised and amended as follows:

  • The Omnibus Plan does not currently contain a policy to recover from recipients awards post-grant if errors, negligence, or fraud occur thereafter. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted Policy on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”). All awards under the Omnibus Plan are subject to the Clawback Policy, the full text of which is available for review by shareholders on the Company’s website at www.silvercorp.ca.
  • The Omnibus Plan, a 10% rolling plan, does not currently contain a limit for the issuance of restricted shared units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). A sub-limit has been introduced. No more than 3% of the issued outstanding shares on a rolling basis may be issued in the form of RSUs and PSUs;
  • The Omnibus Plan has been revised to limit the number of shares issuable to any one non-executive director within a one-year period to an award value no greater than $150,000 per such non-executive director, of which no more than $100,000 may be comprised of options. The 60,000 RSUs granted on August 12, 2019 to each of the non-executive directors, namely Paul Simpson, David Kong, Marina Katusa, and Yikang Liu, are over this limit. Accordingly, they have been amended to 30,000 RSUs each; and
  • Subsection 10.01 of the Omnibus Plan has been amended to add the underlined section as follows:

    Effect of a Change of Control. Despite any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, all unvested Awards then outstanding will, as applicable, be substituted by or replaced with awards of the surviving corporation (or any affiliate thereof) or the potential successor (or any affiliate thereto) (the “continuing entity”) on the same terms and conditions as the original Awards, subject to appropriate adjustments that do not diminish the value of the original Awards. If, upon a Change of Control, the continuing entity fails to comply with this Section 10.01, the vesting of all then outstanding Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Awards may be exercised) will be accelerated in full, and any performance vesting conditions will be assessed by the board, acting in good faith, on a pro-rata basis.
