Excellon Provides Corporate Update

21.07.2023  |  Newsfile

Announces Termination of La Negra Acquisition

Toronto, July 20, 2023 - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) (OTCQB: EXNRF) (FSE: E4X2) ("Excellon" or the "Company") is providing the following updates:

Termination of the La Negra Acquisition

Earlier today, the Company unexpectedly received a notice of termination of the previously announced acquisition of the La Negra project from the seller, Dalu S.à r.l., an entity owned by an investment fund managed by Orion Resource Partners ("Orion"). Prior to receipt of the termination notice, the Company had been in discussions with Orion regarding options to advance the acquisition of La Negra to closing, including securing necessary financing1.

Consequently, the Company is also announcing the termination of its previously announced subscription receipts offering2.

Convertible Debentures and Liquidity

The Company is in advanced discussions with holders of more than 66-2/3% of the principal of its outstanding convertible debentures maturing on July 30, 2023 in the principal amount of C$17.9 million (the "Debentures") with a view to extending the maturity date and more broadly restructure the Debentures. The Company has been actively working with the noted debenture holders to reach an agreement on the terms of such extension and restructuring; however, there can be no assurance that such agreement will be reached prior to maturity. Based on discussions to date, the Company anticipates that the terms of any such extension and restructuring will differ from the terms announced on January 9, 20233.

In parallel, the Company continues to actively assess various interim financing options as well as other corporate development and strategic opportunities to complement the Company's go-forward strategy, which may include divestitures, mergers or spin-offs of the Company's assets to provide additional near-term liquidity. There can be no assurance that any such interim financing will be secured or any such other opportunities realized.

The Company will provide updates to the market on progress in due course if and when developments arise.

Extension of Annual Meeting Deadline

The Company has been granted an extension by the Toronto Stock Exchange to hold its annual meeting of shareholders by no later than September 29, 2023. The Company will provide further details regarding its annual meeting in the coming weeks.

Board of Directors

Jeff Swinoga and Zoya Shashkova have resigned from the Company's board of directors (the "Board") effective July 23, 2023. The Board has consequently reconstituted the Audit Committee with immediate effect. Mr. Laurie Curtis, the Company's independent chair of the Board, will remain a member of the Audit Committee and Mr. Craig Lindsay and Mr. Brendan Cahill were appointed to fill the vacancies. Mr. Lindsay, who is independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), will be appointed as Chair of the Audit Committee. In light of the resignations, the Board is availing itself of the temporary exemptions contained in NI 52-110 to appoint Mr. Cahill to the Audit Committee.
