Late instruments of proxy may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the Meeting in his discretion and the Chairman is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late instruments of proxy.
The accompanying Information Circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and is deemed to form part of this notice.
This notice is accompanied by the Information Circular and either a form of proxy for Registered Holders or a voting instruction form for beneficial Riverside Shareholders.
THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING INFORMATION CIRCULAR HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR BY ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES OR ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The New Riverside Shares, Capitan Shares, Riverside Replacement Options, Capitan Options and modified Riverside Warrants to be distributed or deemed to be distributed under the Arrangement have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and are being distributed in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(10) thereof on the basis of the approval of the Court as described in this Information Circular. The solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). Accordingly, this Information Circular has been prepared in accordance with applicable Canadian disclosure requirements. Residents of the United States should be aware that such requirements differ from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act. Likewise, information concerning the properties and operations of Riverside, including the Peñoles Property, has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities laws, and may not be comparable to similar information for United States companies. The terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, under guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIMM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Definitions and guidelines adopted by the CIMM Council on August 20, 2000, as amended. While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As such, certain information contained in this Information Circular concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Industry Guide 7. "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and there is great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "Inferred Mineral Resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an "Inferred Mineral Resource" exists, or is economically or legally mineable. In addition, the definitions of Proven Mineral Reserves and Probable Mineral Reserves under CIMM standards differ in certain respects from Industry Guide 7 standards.
DATED at Vancouver, British Columbia this 25th day of February, 2020.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
(signed) "John-Mark Staude"
John-Mark Staude
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
