Leading Independent Proxy Advisors ISS and Glass Lewis Recommend Capstone Shareholders Vote FOR the Proposed Arrangement with Mantos Copper

  • The deadline to vote is 10:00 a.m. PT on Thursday February 24, 2022
  • For any questions please contact Capstone’s’ proxy solicitation agent and communications advisor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, toll free at 1-877-452-7184 (+1-416-304-0211 outside North America) or email assistance@laurelhill.com.

Capstone Mining Corp. (“Capstone” or the “Company”) (TSX:CS) is pleased to announce that both Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) have recommended that shareholders vote FOR the proposed business combination with Mantos Copper (Bermuda) Limited (“Mantos”) at the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders, optionholders, restricted share units (“RSU”), performance units (“PSU”) and deferred share units (“DSU”) holders of Capstone (collectively, the “Securityholders”).

ISS and Glass Lewis are two leading independent, third party proxy advisory firms who, among other services, provide proxy-voting recommendations to pension funds, investment managers, mutual funds and other institutional shareholders.

In their report ISS stated, “The arrangement makes strategic sense as the combined company will possess a diversified collection of long-life operating assets, planned and fully financed copper production growth of 45 percent by 2024, and material production growth opportunities represented by the Santo Domingo project, as well as expansion projects across the combined company asset portfolio.”

Glass Lewis’ report noted, “We ultimately believe the board and special committee established a sound basis upon which to conclude the proposed transaction represents an attractive opportunity for the Company and its shareholders. The merger will result in a larger, more diversified copper producer with an opportunity to achieve meaningful synergies.”

Due to the ongoing public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in order to ensure the health and well-being of our Securityholders, employees, communities and other stakeholders, the Meeting will be conducted virtually via live audio webcast using the Lumi meeting platform (web.lumiagm.com/404741767) on February 28, 2022 at 10:00 am PT.
