TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2024 / Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX:VOXR)(NASDAQ:VOXR)("Vox" or the "Company"), a returns focused mining royalty company, is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") and approved a share repurchase program ("SRP").
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The DRIP provides eligible shareholders of Vox with the opportunity to have all, or a portion of any cash dividends declared on common shares by the Company automatically reinvested into additional common shares, without paying brokerage commissions. At the current time, the common shares will be issued under the DRIP at a 5% discount to the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP.
The Company has the discretion to cause share issuances under the DRIP to be satisfied by issuing common shares from treasury or through purchases of common shares on the open market including the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq, or any other alternative open market in Canada or the United States, and will advise as such with each dividend declaration.
The Company has adopted the DRIP commencing with its upcoming Q1 2024 dividend. In order to be eligible to receive DRIP shares in lieu of cash for the Q1 2024 dividend, enrollment must be completed by registered shareholders by 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on Thursday, March 21, 2024. Beneficial shareholders will need to make arrangements in advance of such time through their brokers and/or nominees in accordance with such parties' internal requirements. For its Q1 2024 dividend, the Company intends to issue common shares from treasury.
Participation in the DRIP
Participation in the DRIP is optional and will not affect shareholders' cash dividends unless they elect to participate in the DRIP.
Participation in the DRIP is expected to be available to registered shareholders residing in Canada and all other jurisdictions where such participation is not prohibited under applicable law, subject to withholding tax (if applicable). Participation in the DRIP will not be available for residents of the United States at this time.
Registered Shareholders
Registered Shareholders may enroll in the DRIP by completing an enrollment form, which is available on the Company's website at https://www.voxroyalty.com/investors/dividends-and-tax/ and following the instructions therein.
Beneficial Shareholders
Beneficial shareholders should contact their financial intermediary to seek enrollment. In order to participate in the DRIP, a beneficial shareholder must either:
- arrange for their broker or other nominee to enroll in the DRIP on their behalf; or
- transfer their common shares into their own name and enroll directly in the DRIP as a registered shareholder.
All shareholders considering enrollment in the DRIP should carefully review the terms of the DRIP, a copy of which is available at https://www.voxroyalty.com/investors/dividends-and-tax/ and consult with their advisors as to the implications of enrollment in the DRIP.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer of securities.
Shareholders with any questions regarding the DRIP and the enrollment process may contact: ir@voxroyalty.com.
Share Repurchase Program
The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the adoption of an SRP for the repurchase of up to US$1,500,000 of its common shares. The SRP is structured to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Plan will be administered through an independent broker.
Repurchases under the SRP will be made at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate and may be made through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with securities laws in the United States. The actual timing, number and value of repurchases under the SRP will be determined by management in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, stock price and other factors. The SRP may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Open market repurchases will only be made outside of Canada through the facilities of the Nasdaq or any alternative open market in the United States, as applicable.
