06.02.2024  |  Newsfile
Montréal, Feb. 6, 2024 - Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: VSR) (OTCQX: VMNGF) (FSE: 1V8) ("Vanstar", or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, at the special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders ("Vanstar Shareholders") of common shares of Vanstar (the "Vanstar Shares") held today (the "Meeting"), Vanstar Shareholders overwhelmingly voted in favour of the special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution") to approve the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with IAMGold Corp. ("IAMGOLD") pursuant to which IAMGOLD will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Vanstar Shares in exchange for 0.2008 of an IAMGOLD common share (each whole common share of IAMGOLD, an "IAMGOLD Share") for each Vanstar Share. Based on the 5-day volume weighted average price of the IAMGOLD Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of December 1, 2023, the consideration payable by IAMGOLD implies a value of C$0.69 for each Vanstar Share. Further, each outstanding common share purchase option of Vanstar (a "Vanstar Option") will be cancelled in exchange for an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which C$0.69 exceeds the exercise price payable under such Vanstar Option by the holder thereof to acquire one Vanstar Share underlying such Vanstar Option, such amount to be paid 50% in cash and 50% in IAMGOLD Shares (with the value of each such IAMGOLD Share deemed to be equal to $3.436 per IAMGOLD Share).

Holders of a total of 34,309,509 Vanstar Shares were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting, which constituted a quorum of Shareholders, and represented 58.80% of the 58,350,458 issued and outstanding Vanstar Shares entitled to vote as of December 28, 2023, the record date for the Meeting.

The Arrangement Resolution required the approval of: (i) at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by the Vanstar Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and (ii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting after excluding the votes cast by certain persons whose votes were required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

Of the votes cast at the Meeting, 91.55% of the votes cast by Shareholders were in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (91.49% after excluding the votes cast by those persons whose votes were required to be excluded in determining minority approval for the Arrangement pursuant to MI 61-101).

The Company will seek a final order (the "Final Order") of the Superior Court of Québec (the "Court") to approve the Arrangement on February 9, 2024. Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including receipt of the Final Order. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent, it is expected that the Arrangement will be completed in the middle of February. Following completion of the Arrangement it is expected that Vanstar Shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the OTCQX and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
