Filing Explained

The Zijin arrangement remains unclosed, the August 7 AGM remains scheduled, and approved plans retain future-award capacity.

The July 17, 2026 Form 6-K furnishes the shareholder circular and states that the Zijin arrangement remains subject to final regulatory approvals and has not closed, leaving the annual meeting scheduled for August 7, 2026 unless closing occurs by then.

The circular reports 152,744 options and 2,532,764 RSUs still available for future issuance under shareholder-approved plans; these are issuance capacity, not awards stated as already issued.

Separately, 2,354,498 options and 3,317,468 RSUs are listed as outstanding under those plans.

If additional shares are issued under the plans, the total share count would increase and existing holders’ percentage ownership would decrease absent offsetting changes.

The circular also states that a director nominee receiving more votes withheld than votes for must tender a resignation, after which the board must decide within 90 days and promptly announce its decision.

Common shares outstanding 126,547,893 shares Issued and outstanding as of June 15, 2026

Average director share ownership multiple 192.3× annual board retainer Average director equity holdings relative to required minimum
AGM date August 7, 2026 Scheduled date of virtual-only annual general meeting
Plan of Arrangement regulatory
"entered into a Plan of Arrangement with Zijin Gold International Company Limited"
A plan of arrangement is a formal, court-approved agreement that reorganizes ownership or assets of a company—such as merging businesses, exchanging shares for cash or other securities, or splitting off parts of the company. Investors should care because it can change the value, number, and rights of their holdings and is often binding once approved by both shareholders and a court, offering more legal certainty than a simple vote. Think of it as a legally supervised recipe for how a company will be reshaped and who ends up with what.
majority voting policy regulatory
"the board has adopted a majority voting policy that will require a nominee"
non-objecting beneficial owner (NOBO) financial
"a non-objecting beneficial owner (a “NOBO”), which means you have provided instructions"
deferred share units (DSUs) financial
"any stock options (“Options”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), restricted share units"
Deferred share units (DSUs) are a form of long-term compensation that give an executive or director a payable claim whose value moves with the company’s stock price but is not paid out until a later date, often when they leave the company. Think of a DSU as an IOU tied to the share price that becomes cash or shares in the future; investors watch DSUs because they affect potential share dilution, the timing of cash outflows, and whether management’s interests align with long-term shareholder value.
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 regulatory
"in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders"
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 is a securities regulation that sets rules for certain corporate deals—like mergers, asset sales, or related-party transactions—to protect minority shareholders by requiring extra disclosure, independent valuation and, in many cases, formal shareholder approval. Think of it as an impartial referee and checklist that forces companies to show the full playbook and get a vote or an independent price opinion, so investors can judge whether a proposed deal is fair and avoid being overridden by insiders.
National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects technical
"within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects"

ABOUT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING

 

Who can vote

 

If you held our common shares as of our record date of July 7, 2026, you’re entitled to vote at our 2026 annual general meeting. Each common share (the “Common Shares”) in the capital of Allied Gold Corporation (“Allied” or the “Company”) entitles the holder to one vote on each item of business.

 

We’ll prepare a list of all registered shareholders of record who are entitled to vote, as required by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”), will have a copy at their office if you want to review it.

 

As of June 15, 2026, we had 126,547,893 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Management and the board of directors own an aggregate of 20,372,592 Common Shares (representing 16% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares), and are not aware of any person or company that beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) or exercises control or direction over Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights as of the date of this circular.

 

Registered shareholders

 


You are a registered shareholder if you have a share certificate or a direct registration system statement (DRS) in your name.

 

Non-registered shareholders

 


Many of our shareholders are non-registered (or beneficial) shareholders. This means that the shares are registered in the name of either an intermediary or a clearing agency that acts on behalf of your nominee.

 

HOW TO VOTE

 

The meeting will be held in a virtual-only format only, which will be conducted online via live audio webcast, providing shareholders with greater access and opportunity to attend and participate in the meeting. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Join the meeting online at: meetnow.global/M6M9QVW

 

A summary of the information shareholders will need to attend the meeting online is provided below. For more information on how to attend and participate in the meeting online, please also see the Virtual AGM User Guide that is available on the Company’s website at www.alliedgold.com.

 

Registered shareholders

 

Your meeting materials includes a proxy form.

 

If you are a registered shareholder, or a duly appointed proxyholder, you will be able to attend the meeting, ask questions and vote in real time, provided you are connected to the internet and comply with the requirements set out below.

 

You may also vote by completing the proxy form and delivering it according to the instructions contained in the proxy or voting instruction form and this circular.

 

Voting by proxy

 

Voting by proxy means appointing a proxyholder to vote your Common Shares according to your instructions. You can appoint anyone you choose – the person does not need to be a shareholder.

 

The executive officers named in the proxy form (i.e. the Allied proxyholders) will act as your proxyholder and vote your Common Shares according to your instructions unless you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder (see below).

 

If you appoint the Allied proxyholders and don’t indicate your voting instructions, they will vote your Common Shares:

 

·for the nominated directors

 

·for the appointment of the auditors

 

 

4

 

If you do not indicate your voting instructions, your proxyholder can vote as they see fit.

 

A registered shareholder has the right to appoint a different person or company, who not need be a shareholder, as proxyholder/alternate proxyholder to represent the registered shareholder at the meeting by striking out the names of the persons named in the proxy and inserting the name of that other person or company in the blank space provided. If you leave a space on the proxy blank, the Allied proxyholders named on the proxy will be appointed to act as your proxyholder. The appointment of your proxyholder must be completed before registering your proxyholder with Computershare, which is an addition step to be completed once you have submitted your proxy, as further detailed below.

 

Shareholders who wish to appoint someone other than the Allied proxyholders as their proxyholder to attend and participate at the meeting as their proxy and vote their Common Shares must FIRST submit their proxy appointing that person as proxyholder AND SECOND register that proxyholder with Computershare, as described below. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your proxy. Failure to register your proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving the Invite Code that is required to vote at the meeting.

You can send your completed proxy form to Computershare by phone, fax, mail, or the internet, as described below, or by following the instructions on the proxy form included in your package:

4.Mail – Complete, sign and date your form of proxy and send it to: Computershare Investor Services Inc. Attention: Proxy Department, 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6.

Non-registered shareholders

 

Your meetings materials include either a proxy or voting instruction form.

 

Shareholders are “non-registered” shareholders if the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased or hold the Common Shares. Common Shares beneficially owned by a non-registered shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary that the non-registered shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares; or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency of which the intermediary is a participant.

 

If you are a non-registered shareholder, the documents that you receive, and who you receive them from, will vary depending upon whether you are a non-objecting beneficial owner (a “NOBO”), which means you have provided instructions to your intermediary that you do not object to the intermediary disclosing beneficial ownership information about you to the Company for certain purposes, or an objecting beneficial owner (an “OBO”), which means that you have provided instructions to your intermediary that you object to the intermediary disclosing such beneficial ownership information. In either case, you have the right to exercise voting rights attached to the Common Shares beneficially owned by you if you follow the procedures outlined below.

 

Be sure to send back your completed form as soon as possible so your intermediary (the registered shareholder) has enough time to carry out your voting instructions. Non-registered shareholders can also vote online or by telephone:

 

1.Internet - Go to www.proxyvote.com, enter your 16-digit control number and provide your voting instructions.

 

2.Telephone - Call the toll-free number listed on your voting instruction form from a touch-tone phone and follow the automatic voice recording instructions to vote. You will need your 16-digit control number to vote.

 

NOBOs

 

If you are a NOBO, and unless you have previously informed your intermediary that you do not wish to receive materials relating to the meeting, you should receive or have already received from the Company or its agent the meeting materials including a voting instruction form or form of proxy. These security holder materials are being sent to both registered shareholders and non-registered shareholders. If you are a non-registered shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the voting instruction form or form of proxy.

 

OBOs

 

If you are an OBO, the Company will pay for intermediaries to forward the proxy-related materials to you. If you receive or have already received from your intermediary either a voting instruction form or a proxy form, follow the instructions provided in order to ensure your Common Shares are voted in accordance with your instructions. Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own instructions. These procedures may allow for providing voting instructions by telephone, on the Internet, by mail or by fax.

 

If you wish to vote yourself, write your name in the place provided for that purpose on the voting instruction form provided to you and we will deposit it with Computershare, or, if you request on the voting instruction form, we will send you a proxy that will grant you or your appointee the right to vote on your behalf. If you have an appointee vote on your behalf, please complete and return the information requested in the voting instruction form to provide your specific voting instructions. If you do not return your voting instructions as specified in the voting instruction form, your Common Shares will not be voted.

 

If you are a non-registered shareholder and wish to vote at the online meeting, you must insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your intermediary, following all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary AND registered yourself as your proxyholder, as described below. By doing so you are instructing your intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your intermediary. Please also see further instructions below.

Shareholders who wish to appoint someone other than the Allied proxyholders as their proxyholder to attend and participate at the meeting as their proxy and vote their Common Shares must FIRST submit their voting information form appointing that person as proxyholder AND SECOND register that proxyholder online, as described below. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving an Invite Code that is required to vote at the meeting.

After you have appointed your proxyholder in your voting information form, in order to register your proxyholder with Computershare shareholders must visit http://www.computershare.com/AlliedGold by 11 a.m. (Toronto time) on August 5, 2026 and provide Computershare with the required proxyholder contact information so that Computershare may provide the proxyholder with an Invite Code via email.

QUESTIONS AT THE MEETING

 

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including Non-registered shareholders who have appointed themselves or third party proxyholders) who attend the meeting virtually and have properly followed the instructions in this circular to vote virtually at the meeting will have an opportunity to ask questions at the meeting on each resolution as it is being considered at the meeting and during the question period at the end. Should any such shareholder or proxyholder wish to ask a question, the shareholder or proxyholder should access the Q&A tab, type your question into the box at the bottom of the screen and then press send. The chair of the meeting will also reserve time at the meeting for management to answer questions from registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders and guests that attend the meeting. All submitted questions will be moderated before being sent to the chair of the meeting. Questions can be submitted at any time during the meeting up until the chair of the meeting closes the question period. It is anticipated that shareholders will have substantially the same opportunity to ask questions on matters of business before the meeting as in past years when the annual meeting of Shareholders was held in person, provided that such shareholders have properly followed the instructions in this circular to participate in the virtual meeting and remain connected to the internet at all relevant times.

Majority voting

 

In accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), the board has adopted a majority voting policy that will require a nominee for election as a director who does not receive a greater number of votes “for” than votes “withheld” with respect to the election of directors by shareholders to tender a resignation to the corporate governance and nominating committee promptly following the applicable meeting of shareholders. Under the terms of the majority voting policy, our corporate governance and nominating committee will be required to consider such resignation and make a recommendation to our board on whether to accept such resignation. The board will accept such resignation unless it determines, in consultation with the corporate governance and nominating committee, that there are exceptional circumstances that would warrant the director continuing to serve on the board, as determined by the board in accordance with its fiduciary duties to the Company. Our board will be required to make its decision within 90 days following the relevant meeting of shareholders and promptly announce its decision in a press release, including the reasons for such decision if the board does not accept the resignation.

Allied’s related party transactions policy states that the disinterested members of the audit committee are responsible for reviewing and evaluating related party transactions. The policy defines "related party" and a "related party transaction" in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The audit committee will conduct a reasonable review and oversee all related party transactions and such transactions will be prohibited if the audit committee determines it to be inconsistent with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. The review will consider, among other matters required by law, the nature of the benefit to be conferred on the related party, the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, the business reasons for the related party transaction, whether the related party transaction would impair the independence of the outside director and whether the related party transaction would constitute an improper conflict of interest for any officer or director. Furthermore, the Company will maintain reasonable and effective procedural safeguards designed to ensure that related party transactions are identified and addressed in accordance with applicable laws and financial reporting requirements. Among such safeguards, management and the audit committee will review any potential related party transactions on at least a quarterly basis.

DIRECTOR SHARE OWNERSHIP

  

We require each director to hold a minimum level of Common Shares or DSUs (or any combination thereof) so they have a significant at-risk-investment and to align their interests with those of our shareholders.

 

Directors are required to hold three times their annual board retainer in Common Shares or DSUs (or any combination thereof) and maintain the minimum throughout their tenure. Directors are given within five years of their appointment to meet this threshold (although many of our directors have already met this requirement).

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee monitors compliance with these guidelines annually.

 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is required to meet our share ownership guidelines for NEOs see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

 

We calculate share ownership values using the market value of Common Shares.

 

The table below shows each director’s equity holdings as of June 15, 2026.

ABOUT THE BOARD

  

We have a highly engaged board, committed to our long-term success. The board has a strong and diverse mix of skills in finance, mining, exploration, sustainability, metallurgy, mergers and acquisitions, and international business, among other things.

 

Independence

 

A majority of the board is independent according to the board’s independence criteria and our governance guidelines. Six of our directors, being John Beardsworth, John Begeman, Richard Graff, Jane Sadowsky, Dino Titaro, and Oumar Toguyeni, are independent of Allied. Each of Pierre Chenard, Justin Dibb, Peter Marrone and Daniel Racine are not considered to be independent of Allied due to past officerships, consulting agreements or their standing as officers of the Company. The board also reviews other board and committee memberships when assessing director independence for audit committee purposes.

 

About independence

 

A director is independent if they are independent of management and free from conflicts of interest. This means that, in the view of the board, an independent director does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with Allied or its subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to interfere with their ability to exercise independent judgment. The formal requirements for independence are in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including the requirements of National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines.

 

Role of the board

 

Our board is responsible for the stewardship of Allied, supervising the management of our business and our affairs and acting in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. A copy of the board’s charter is appended hereto as “Schedule B”.

 

The board’s main duties involve:

 

·strategic planning;

·identifying the principal risks of our business and ensuring we implement appropriate systems to manage these risks;

·succession planning, including appointing senior management and overseeing their training and development;

·establishing a communications policy for communicating with investors and other interested parties;

·overseeing the integrity of our internal controls and management information system; and

·assessing the effectiveness of the board, its committees and the contribution of individual directors.

 

The board fulfills its mandate directly and through its four standing committees, which operate independently of management and report directly to the board. The board has developed written position descriptions for the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the Lead Director and the chair of each board committee.

 

Role of the Chairman

 

Our Chairman provides leadership to the board so it can carry out its responsibilities effectively and chairs all board meetings in a manner that promotes meaningful discussion.

 

Our Chairman is responsible for the below duties, among others.

·Acting as a liaison between the board and management to ensure that relationships between the board and management are conducted in a professional and constructive manner.

·Performing other functions as may be ancillary to the responsibilities described above or as may be delegated to the Chairman by the board from time to time.

 

Role of the Lead Director

 

Our Lead Director, working closely with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, assists in providing leadership to the independent directors and ensures that the board’s responsibilities are well understood and respected. He also works closely with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, providing advice and counsel as appropriate.

 

Our Lead Director is also responsible for:

 

·Working with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to ensure that relationships between the board and management are conducted in a professional and constructive manner, promoting meaningful discussion.

Strategic planning

 

The board is directly involved in our strategic planning process.

 

We hold an annual offsite meeting for the board and management to focus on our strategy and budget planning. The meeting runs from one to three days and typically covers six areas:

 

·assets

·risk (government, community relations, environment, health and safety, management succession and any gaps in board skills)

·strategy

·budgets

·production

·costs.

 

The Chairman obtains input from the Lead Director and the board to discuss potential agenda items, but the primary focus is to ensure a balance between costs and production, margin preservation and the generation and protection of cash flow. We believe this approach is appropriate and prudent for creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

 

At the end of the session, the board approves our corporate strategy.

 

The board monitors our performance by meeting at least quarterly to receive presentations by senior management on our results, our strategy, our progress in meeting our objectives for the year, our operations, health, safety, environment and community, construction activities, exploration, corporate development, corporate governance matters and other items as appropriate.

 

Occasionally, outside advisors are invited to attend.

 

The Chairman updates the Lead Director, the committee chairs and/or the board on any significant events between regularly scheduled meetings.

Our approach to sustainability

  

At Allied, we believe that achieving sustainability excellence is a core part of our business and is essential to our future growth and profitability. It also defines, to a significant degree, our reputation. Increasingly, reputation in the mining sector is the currency necessary to advance our business. We believe that reputation is the product of two things: the trust-based relationships we forge with a range of stakeholders, especially host communities; and our on-the-ground performance.

 

Sustainability at Allied encompasses a range of business functions, including health and safety, environmental protection, community relations and development, tailings management, human rights, government relations and security, in addition to the breadth of corporate governance elements that apply to all aspects of our business.

 

Governance

 

Governance of sustainability is built into our overall governance structure, management systems and practices. Our commitment to sustainability is driven by the Chairman, supported by the board of directors and the Sustainability Committee, and our Chief Sustainability Officer, as well as our corporate and regional Sustainability teams at each site.

 

Board of directors Corporate Operations

The board oversees strategy, governance and risk, including risks and opportunities associated with sustainability factors.

 

The Chairman and CEO drives and facilitates sustainability policy development and the implementation of directives, in consultation with the board and with the support of the Chief Sustainability Officer.

 

The board’s sustainability committee oversees all aspects of sustainability matters. It reviews policies, compliance issues and incidents, and ensures we have been diligent in carrying out our responsibilities and activities.

The corporate sustainability team is led by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with the support of the Chief Sustainability Officer.

 

The team implements strategy, develops and implements management systems, in collaboration with operations, and facilitates dialogue with external stakeholders at the corporate level. It also works with the sites to make sure systems are implemented, best practices are shared and Company performance is enhanced.

 

The corporate sustainability team supervises the compliance with international standards and aspects related to sustainability reporting.

Each operation has a sustainability team and addresses health, safety, environment and social performance with the site’s general manager.

 

This will continue to evolve in 2026 across all sites and the sustainability targets meeting at least quarterly to discuss sustainability issues, approaches, incidents, corrective actions and other operational practices.

 

The quarterly reviews monitor the implementation of management systems, the effectiveness and performance of the sustainability programs and report any material issues to the general manager who escalates matters as necessary.

 

Management

 

The Company has a Code of Conduct and set of related policies that establish corporate expectations across the business. The Company’s sustainability team works within a Sustainability Management Framework that outlines the principles and expectations which are to be implemented to enhance the integration of sustainability within the Company’s strategy, operational processes, and culture. The Sustainability Management Framework discloses the sustainability purpose of the Company which is “Working together to responsibly build a positive legacy with local communities and all stakeholders”. The Sustainability Management Framework is centered around six key pillars: vision and governance, culture, systems and planning, people and leadership, performance (data and reporting), and innovation.

 

In order to support the sustainability purpose of the Company, the board approved in May 2024 a new set of policies for Health and Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility. As part of the Sustainability Management Framework, such policies and standards for Occupational Health and Safety, Environment and Social performance are communicated across the Company. The following key principles are integrated into the Sustainability Management Framework:

 

1.Risk and opportunity management

2.Integration

3.Commitment to Evolving International Best Practice Standards

4.External Reporting and Assessment

 

 

26

  

Performance

  

The Company will regularly monitor a range of aspects, impacts and topics of interest to it and its stakeholders, including:

 

·governance;

·workplace health and safety;

·community relations and generating local benefit;

·business ethics and human rights;

·environmental stewardship;

·tailings and waste management;

·water management;

·biodiversity; and

·mine closure.

 

You can read more about our commitments, management systems and performance in our Sustainability Report available on our website (www.alliedgold.com).

 

Majority voting

 

In accordance with the requirements of the TSX, the board maintains a majority voting policy that requires a nominee for election as a director who does not receive a greater number of votes “for” than votes “withheld” with respect to the election of directors by shareholders to tender a resignation to the corporate governance and nominating committee promptly following the applicable meeting of shareholders. Under the terms of the majority voting policy, our corporate governance and nominating committee will be required to consider such resignation and make a recommendation to our board on whether to accept such resignation. The board will accept such resignation unless it determines, in consultation with the corporate governance and nominating committee, that there are exceptional circumstances that would warrant the director continuing to serve on the board, as determined by the board in accordance with its fiduciary duties to the Company. Our board will be required to make its decision within 90 days following the relevant meeting of shareholders and promptly announce its decision in a press release, including the reasons for such decision if the board does not accept the resignation. A director who tenders a resignation pursuant to the majority voting policy will not be permitted to participate in any meeting of our board or our corporate governance and nominating committee at which the resignation is considered.

 

Related party transactions

 

Allied’s related party transactions policy states that the disinterested members of the audit committee are responsible for reviewing and evaluating related party transactions. The policy defines "related party" and a "related party transaction" in accordance with MI 61-101. The audit committee will conduct a reasonable review and oversee all related party transactions and such transactions will be prohibited if the audit committee determines it to be inconsistent with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. The review will consider, among other matters required by law, the nature of the benefit to be conferred on the related party, the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, the business reasons for the related party transaction, whether the related party transaction would impair the independence of the outside director and whether the related party transaction would constitute an improper conflict of interest for any officer or director. Furthermore, the Company will maintain reasonable and effective procedural safeguards designed to ensure that related party transactions are identified and addressed in accordance with applicable laws and financial reporting requirements. Among such safeguards, management and the audit committee will review any potential related party transactions on at least a quarterly basis.

 

Our approach to leadership

 

Our Human Resources and Advancement Policy establishes our commitment to building a workplace culture that fosters collaboration and respect. The Company has adopted this policy to ensure consideration of different backgrounds, experiences and cultures throughout our organization including the representation of women, when assessing candidates for our board, senior management, and all positions in the Company.

 

The board will work with the corporate governance and nominating committee when assessing board of director candidates and will consider all backgrounds, experiences and cultures , consistent with our Human Resources and Advancement Policy in order to attract the most qualified persons to provide stewardship of the Company. The corporate governance and nominating committee recognizes the importance of the representation by women, in

 

 

27

  

conjunction with other factors, such as experience, skill, capability and other relevant qualifications when assessing candidates for the board. We look for particular skills and attributes in director candidates as well as key skills and experience.

  

Directors must have eight core qualities and skills:

 

·financial literacy;

·integrity and accountability;

·ability to engage in informed judgment;

·governance;

·strategic business development;

·ability to effectively operate in an international business setting;

·excellent communication skills; and

·ability to work effectively as a team.

 

Directors must also have strong business experience as a senior executive. The corporate governance and nominating committee will develop and continuously update the skills matrix/assess the relevant experience qualifications every year to assist with director searches to enhance the board’s profile and technical skills.

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee considers candidates with a broad, sophisticated business perspective and a combination of varying skills, experience and personal attributes. The committee works with the board to define specific criteria that would enhance the board’s profile and strong technical skills.

 

The Company is also committed to the Human Resources and Advancement Policy principles in building a strong leadership team. In an effort to implement the Human Resources and Advancement Policy, our human resources group ensures that all job postings are gender neutral, and will ask internal recruitment specialists and all third-party recruitment advisors to present a list of candidates with varying backgrounds, experiences and cultures.

 

As of the date of this circular, one of the ten directors on the board is a woman (10%) and two of the eight executive officers of the Company are women (25%).

 

Ethical business conduct

 

We expect directors to use sound judgment, avoid conflicts of interest and to always act in our best interests.

 

Directors must disclose to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer any conflict of interest he or she may have and recuse themselves from any board deliberations on the matter. We have adopted the Code and several governance policies that apply to directors, officers and employees, including temporary workers, any party acting on our behalf or representing us (contractors, agents or consultants) and others who perform Allied work. A copy of the Code is available on our website at www.alliedgold.com.

 

The Code and governance policies signify Allied’s commitment to conducting business in accordance with the letter and spirit of the law and high standards of ethical business conduct. It governs all aspects of Allied’s business, including governing fair competition, conflicts of interest, anti-corruption practices, and community and political involvement. The corporate governance and nominating committee reviews the Code and other governance policies, updates them as necessary to reflect developments in law, regulation and professional ethics, and Allied’s commitments to communities.

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee monitors compliance with the Code by ensuring that all directors, officers, employees and contractors in all jurisdictions where we operate receive and familiarize themselves with the Code and acknowledge their support and understanding of it.

 

Board Committees

 

The board currently has four committees. The full charter of each committee can be found on our website at www.alliedgold.com.

Attendance

We also expect directors to prepare thoroughly for each meeting (including a full review of all materials sent in advance) and to stay for the entire meeting and actively participate in the deliberations and decisions. If there are unforeseen circumstances and a director is unable to attend a meeting, they are expected to contact the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary as soon as possible after the meeting for a briefing on the substantive elements of the meeting.

 

Other directorships

 

We do not limit the number of public company directorships, but we consider other boards and commitments when assessing suitable director candidates to make sure they can dedicate the appropriate time, energy and focus to the board.

 

The following directors of the Company serve on the boards of other reporting issuers, and there is a board interlock with Blossom Gold Inc. (Pierre Chenard and Dino Titaro).

Skills matrix

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee assesses the composition of the board using a skills matrix, which it updates annually to reflect specific criteria, including categories of business experience that would enhance the board’s profile and technical skills. The committee’s goal is to establish a board with a broad, sophisticated business perspective and a combination of diverse skills, experience and personal attributes. The committee has determined that there are no gaps in the necessary skills for effective board oversight.

 

The following reflects the skills for each director nominee for election at the meeting.

Director education

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for director development and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides input as appropriate.

 

Orientation

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for ensuring that new directors receive appropriate orientation and education when they join the board. This includes:

 

·written information about the duties and obligations of directors, as well as the committees of the board and the board as a whole; and

·information about our business and operations; and opportunities for meetings and discussion with senior management and other directors.

 

Continuing education

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for the continuing education of all directors. The board believes in the importance of ongoing director education and the need for each director to be personally responsible for this process. Each director will receive access to continuously updated materials on policies and other Company information through a secure electronic portal. The board will also conduct the following activities as part of the continuing education program:

 

·periodically canvass the directors to determine their training and education needs and interests;

·recommend and support director participation in various independent learning courses;

·arrange site visits for directors to see our facilities and operations;

·encourage and facilitate presentations by outside experts to the board or committees on topics of particular importance or emerging significance;

·support membership in the NACD and the ICD; and

·subjects relevant to Allied’s business, including funding for seminars or conferences of interest and relevant to their position as a director and member of our board committees.

 

Individual directors have participated in various third-party seminars relating to environment, safety and governance, mining disclosure under NI 43-101, cybersecurity, carbon markets and carbon trading, updates on international financial reporting standards, non-GAAP measures, regulatory developments with the Ontario Securities Commission, enterprise risk management, shareholder activism, internal controls, international taxation, compensation trends and compensation committee issues.

 

Board assessment

 

The board has established a formal process for assessing board and committee performance and the contribution of individual directors each year. The corporate governance and nominating committee is tasked with carrying out the assessments to determine overall effectiveness and to identify areas it may need to enhance when recruiting new director candidates for nomination to the board.

 

Term limits

 

We currently do not have term limits because we recognize the value and depth of knowledge that longer serving directors bring to the board. Each director is assessed for the value of their contribution and enforcing term limits would compel Allied to potentially lose valuable resources.

 

 

31 

 

Board renewal

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee consists entirely of independent directors and is developing a long-term plan for board composition that is based on our strategic direction, skills matrix, variety of backgrounds, experiences and cultures and other factors.

 

Director independence, the competencies and skills of the board, core skills and qualities, the current strengths, skills and experience of each director, as well as each director’s personality and other qualities they bring to the dynamics of an effective board, are all factors that the committee takes into consideration when recruiting director candidates.

 

There will be regular and open dialogue between and among all directors about director requirements and characteristics of possible candidates, and a formal discussion at least once each year. The board does not, however, maintain a formal evergreen list. Occasionally, external search firms may be consulted and relied upon for introductions to or vetting of potential candidates.

 

Sustainability Committee

 

In addition to the audit committee, the compensation committee and the corporate governance and nominating committee, the board has a standing sustainability committee, which is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the sustainable development, environmental, health and safety policies, principles, practices and processes, as well as current and future regulatory issues relating to sustainable development, environmental, health and safety.

We require NEOs, other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to own at least two times their annual salary in Allied equity to reinforce our focus on the long term and align business decisions with shareholders’ interests. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer must hold three times their annual salary. NEOs can count Common Shares and RSUs (and DSUs for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) toward meeting the guidelines.

 

Current NEOs are required to meet the guidelines by September 7, 2028, or within five years of assuming their position, and must maintain the minimum requirement throughout their tenure as a senior executive. As at June 15, 2026, all NEOs have met their shareholding requirements. In fact, management and the board own an aggregate of 20,372,592 Common Shares, representing 16% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at June 15, 2025.

BOARD OF DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 

Our board of director compensation is designed to attract and retain qualified and experienced board members. The compensation committee is responsible for determining fair and reasonable board compensation. To establish the board compensation framework, the compensation committee looked at companies reflecting the same industry and similar size and scope of operations, consistent with the approach taken to develop the executive compensation framework.

 

Annual board fees

 

Annual board compensation for 2025 had two components: the annual retainer (paid in cash and DSUs) and meeting fees. The annual retainer included attendance at 8 board and 4 committee meetings, with per meeting fees paid for each board and committee meeting. Each director elected the percentage of their annual retainer to be paid in cash or DSUs.

 

Board compensation component    
Annual board retainer  $185,000 
Annual board retainer (for directors who sit on one committee)  $192,500 
Annual board retainer (for directors who sit on two committees)  $200,000 
Annual board retainer (for directors who sit on more than two committees)  $207,500 
Meeting fees (for each meeting attended beyond 8 board meetings and 4 committee meetings)  $2,000 
Mine visitation fees (per day)  $2,000 

 

Grant of stock options and DSUs

 

The Company’s size and scope of operations have expanded rapidly and the Company increasingly operates in a sensitive geopolitical environment. To recognize the board’s role in these circumstances, the directors received a one-time grant of stock options and DSUs in 2025, intended to support continuity and stability on the board, to recognize past performance and to further reinforce future value creation for shareholders. Grant values are included in the table below.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Allied operates in a competitive and rapidly evolving market. To succeed in this environment and to achieve its business and financial objectives, Allied needs to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executives. Allied’s management team possesses and demonstrates strong leadership capabilities, that fosters Allied’s company culture, which is at the foundation of its success and remains a pivotal part of its everyday operations.

 

Allied’s executive compensation program in 2025 was designed to achieve the following objectives:

 

·provide market-competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high-performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to Allied’s success;

·motivate these executive officers to achieve Allied’s business objectives;

·align the interests of Allied’s executive officers with those of its shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of Allied’s business; and

·provide incentives that encourage appropriate levels of risk-taking by the executive team.

 

During the previously completed financial year, the Company had five Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”), being:

 

Peter Marrone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Daniel Racine, President (until December 31, 2025)

Jason LeBlanc, Chief Financial Officer

Gerardo Fernandez, Chief Development Officer

 

Sofia Tsakos, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary

 

COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE

 

Our compensation committee is responsible for assisting our board in fulfilling its governance and supervisory responsibilities, and overseeing our human resources, succession planning, and compensation policies, processes and practices. Our compensation committee is also responsible for ensuring that our compensation policies and practices provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with our risk profile. Our board has adopted a written charter for our compensation committee setting out its responsibilities for administering our compensation programs and reviewing and making recommendations to our board concerning the level and nature of the compensation payable to our executive officers. Our compensation committee’s oversight includes reviewing objectives, evaluating performance and ensuring that total compensation paid to our executive officers, personnel who report directly to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and various other executive officers and managers is fair, reasonable and consistent with the objectives of our philosophy and compensation program.

 

Details about our compensation committee are set out below.

 

Qualified and independent committee members

 

The committee is made up of three independent directors with experience in five key areas:

 

  Compensation Governance Finance

Operations /

mining

Senior

business

executive

Dino Titaro (chair) ü
John Beardsworth  
Jane Sadowsky

 

All of the committee members are experienced business professionals who have the skills and experience necessary to make decisions about our executive compensation policies and practices. All have compensation experience as members of the compensation committees of other corporations.

 

Independent and objective advice

 

The compensation committee retains an independent advisor to attend committee meetings from time to time, to provide support, including research and analysis, insights into human resources and compensation market trends, and advice related to executive and board of director compensation. The committee takes the advisor’s reports and recommendations into consideration when assessing the compensation structure and determining compensation

awards, but the committee makes its own decisions and recommendations to the board. In September 2023, the committee retained Southlea Group LP (“Southlea Group”) as its independent advisor. Southlea Group is independent of management, and well qualified in human resources and compensation matters.

 

The below sets out the fees paid to Southlea Group in 2024 and 2025 (in Canadian dollars, including applicable taxes).

 

Compensation advisory services (2025)

A continuing focus on compensation governance

 

What we do
Benchmark to industry peers. We benchmark compensation to a group of peer companies in the mining industry to ensure compensation is fair and competitive with the market.
Deliver the majority of total compensation in ‘at-risk’ elements. Most of what we pay our executives is variable (at risk) and not guaranteed (all but base salary).
Align executive and shareholder interests. We require NEOs to own Allied equity to align their interests with those of our other stakeholders. All NEOs currently hold a meaningful percentage of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Pay for performance. We link compensation to corporate, individual and share price performance over multiple time horizons.
Use a disciplined approach to assess performance. We use specific measures and a pre-defined range of performance to calculate short-term awards and determine long-term incentive grants.
Cap the value of incentive compensation. We have caps in place to limit payouts of incentive awards.
Retain an independent compensation advisor. The compensation committee is made up of independent directors and retains an independent advisor for external, third-party advice.
Use informed judgment. The committee and board can use reasonable judgment to adjust the performance factors for the short-term and long-term incentive awards, including downward to ensure alignment with shareholder interests.
Engage directly with shareholders. We engage directly with shareholders on executive compensation and other matters.
   
What we don’t do
x No hedging. We do not allow hedging of Allied securities by any director, officer or employee.
x No re-pricing. We do not re-price stock options or other equity incentives.

 

Compensation risk management

 

As part of its role in overseeing the risk associated with executive compensation, the committee reviews our compensation program to make sure it reflects good business practices, is in line with regulatory expectations, and is structured so executives are not encouraged to take excessive risks.

 

·We benchmark compensation for our senior executives against a group of industry peers that are similar in structure, size and type of business to make sure our compensation levels are appropriate.

·Our short-term incentive is based on corporate and individual performance. We use a balanced scorecard to assess corporate performance with predetermined performance measures and weightings, and threshold, target, stretch and maximum levels, to cap the calculated scores and not encourage excessive risk-taking.

·Long-term incentive compensation is used primarily to align management's long-term interests with those of shareholders and to retain key management of the Company. Grant values are based on a number of factors

 

 

6 

 

including the NEO's level of responsibility within the Company and ability to create future value for shareholders, target levels that are benchmarked to peer companies in the mining industry that ensure compensation is fair and market competitive, the Company's performance and past practices, and the NEO's performance.

 

·The board can use informed judgment to adjust the grant values up or down as it deems appropriate based on its review and assessment.

·All decisions about executive pay must be approved by the board. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer recuses himself from any board discussions about his pay.

·We do not allow any Allied directors, officers or employees to hedge Allied securities. We do not re-price stock options or other equity incentive awards.

 

Decision-making process

 

The Company follows a robust compensation decision making process:

 

Beginning of the year

 

Our compensation decision-making process starts at the beginning of each year, when we assess and confirm our compensation philosophy, program guidelines and structure. We also choose performance measures and set targets for the short-term incentive plan that align with our strategy.

 

1. Review compensation structure

Review our overall compensation philosophy and structure for the NEOs.

 

The compensation committee recommends any changes to the board for approval.

   
2. Confirm the peer group

Review and confirm the selection criteria used to determine peer companies.

 

Review and confirm the composition of the compensation peer group, applying the selection criteria.

   
3. Establish performance measures

Choose performance measures and set targets used to assess corporate performance for the short-term incentive plan and to determine the grant value of long-term incentive awards.

 

Monitor corporate performance against these measures throughout the year.

 

Individual objectives are also established for each NEO to assess their annual performance.

   
4. Assess risk and confirm approach

Review the design of incentive plans and the selected performance measures to:

 

·     Consider potential payouts under different performance scenarios.

 

·      Make sure our decision-making process, incentive plans and compensation levels do not give executives an incentive to take excessive risks or make inappropriate decisions.

   

End of the year

 

At the end of each year, we apply a rigorous process to assess performance and award compensation, which includes reviewing corporate, mine site and individual performance. The compensation committee completes the review and presents its recommendations to the board for review and approval.

 
5. Review performance

Review corporate performance mid-year and at the end of the year. The compensation committee assesses the performance of the NEOs throughout the year during specific business reviews and committee meetings.

 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer completes a review of each NEO’s individual performance against their objectives.

   
6. Review past pay levels Review historical pay for performance for the NEOs for the previous year.
   
7. Award compensation

The board reviews the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s performance.

 

The compensation committee reviews the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s performance, competitive positioning and past pay levels, consults with its independent advisor, and makes recommendations to the board for approval.

 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance and compensation of the other NEOs, and recommends short-term incentive awards, long-term incentive grants, and the following year's salary for review and approval by the chair of the compensation committee (as delegated by the board).

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

 

Our compensation philosophy supports our goal to be a recognized leader in precious metals mining by maintaining a strong entrepreneurial management team. Allied motivates executives to focus on the long-term performance of the Company by establishing a strong link between performance and compensation while encouraging equity ownership.

 

Our compensation philosophy for executives is based on the principle of pay for performance. We are guided by six compensation principles (listed below), which form the foundation for all decisions on executive pay and motivate the achievement of our corporate strategy. The compensation committee and the board always use reasonable judgement to adjust the performance factors for the short-term and long-term incentive awards, including downward to ensure alignment with shareholder interests. Attracting and retaining the right talent is a critical element for our long-term success. When designing competitive plans, the compensation committee works to ensure strong pay-for-performance alignment and the alignment of executive and shareholder interests.

 

Compensation principles

 

·Motivate and retain. Total compensation is designed to attract, motivate and retain top talent.

·Pay for performance. We position target compensation at the market median of relevant comparators where the Company competes for talent. Actual compensation may be above or below the market median depending on actual performance.

·Pay varies based on results. Incentive awards vary and depend on both corporate and individual performance.

·Align with business strategy. Performance measures for the incentive plans support our strategy.

·Ensure internal equity. The program ensures internal equity, external compliance and market competitiveness.

·Use informed judgement. Formalizes the committee and board’s ability to use informed judgement to adjust outcomes based on market and operational realities that may not have been previously contemplated.

 

Pay for performance

 

The majority of what we pay our executives is variable (at risk), and contingent on Allied’s performance to promote the achievement of our annual and longer-term strategies. The proportion of pay at risk increases with each executive level, and a significant portion of variable pay is equity-based to focus executives on creating long-term value and to align the interests of our executives and our shareholders.

 

COMPENSATION BENCHMARKING

 

Target and actual compensation for the Chairman and CEO and other NEOs are reviewed annually against a group of mining industry companies and benchmarked based on position, organizational role and overall scope of responsibility.

 

Our philosophy is to position target total direct compensation (base salary + target short-term incentive + target long-term incentives) around the median of our mining industry peers for expected levels of performance. Actual total direct compensation may be above or below the market median based on actual levels of performance.

 

Each year, the committee reviews and approves the peer group to ensure the market sample remains relevant for compensation benchmarking. Selection criteria used to define the universe of potential peers includes:

 

Criteria Screening Rationale
Corporate  structure Publicly traded companies, primarily those headquartered in Canada Our market for talent includes, but is not limited to, peer companies in Canada
Industry ‘Gold’ or ‘Diversified Metals & Mining’ industries, focused primarily on the gold mining industry

We typically source and lose executive talent from within the mining industry

Our gold mining peers face the same market environment and volatility challenges

Size Similar in size to Allied by revenue, market capitalization, assets, gold production and total production Relative positioning of company size aligns with positioning of target compensation at the median of the competitive market
Type of business Similar in organizational complexity and international scope according to the number, life cycle and location of operating mines and exploration projects We benchmark executive compensation to executive roles with similar scope of complexity and responsibility

Alamos Gold Inc.

B2Gold Corp.

Centerra Gold Inc.

Coeur Mining, Inc.

Dundee Precious Metals Inc.

ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND DECISIONS

 

Principal elements of compensation

 

The compensation of our executive officers is comprised of the following principal elements: (a) base salary; (b) an annual, discretionary cash bonus; and (c) long-term equity incentives, consisting of RSUs, Options, PSUs (to be settled solely in cash), DSUs (to be settled solely in cash) and/or other applicable awards granted under the RSU plan (the “RSU Plan”), the stock option plan (the “Option Plan”), the PSU plan (the “PSU Plan”) and the DSU plan (the “DSU Plan”) and any other incentive plan that may be approved by the board from time to time, and (d) retirement benefits.

 

These principal elements of compensation are described below.

 

Base salary

 

Base salaries are intended to provide an appropriate level of fixed compensation to recognize the skills and experience of the employee and assist with retention and recruitment. Base salaries are determined on an individual basis, taking into consideration the past, current and potential contribution to the Company’s success, the executive officer’s experience and expertise, the position and responsibilities of the executive officer, and competitive industry pay practices for other companies of similar size and complexity. The following base salaries were set for 2025.

 

NEO  2025 Salary ($) 
Peter Marrone             927,000 
Daniel Racine   515,000 
Jason LeBlanc   386,250 
Gerardo Fernandez   360,500 
Sofia Tsakos   360,500 

 

Incentive awards

 

In 2025, annual cash bonuses and long-term incentives for executive officers were approved by the compensation committee and the board after considering company performance, and individual contributions, among other factors.

 

Company performance is based on key performance indicators (KPIs) including operational performance, financial results, exploration goals, sustainability measures (including health & safety and environment measures), and progress towards strategic initiatives including business and corporate development goal which create longer-term value for shareholders. Consideration is also given to the Company’s stock price performance and economic conditions of the broader market and the gold mining industry. For 2025, company KPIs included the following:

 

KPIs Definition and rationale
Operational
Gold production (000 ounces)

Total ounces of gold produced from consolidated operations. Target based on the current producing mines' sustainable basis.

 

Meeting production targets is our baseline to achieving our financial performance and demonstrates strength in our planning/execution cycle.

 

 

9 

 

KPIs Definition and rationale
Financial
Operating cash flow before changes in working capital ($millions)

Cash flows generated from operating mines, reduced by corporate G&A, excluding timing impact from working capital items, based on the current producing mines' sustainable basis and excluding the impact of new streams and prepays inflows, or Mali settlement payments.

 

The ability to produce strong operating cash flow throughout the commodity price cycle ensures sustainability of the company's business model and further guarantees that capital is consistently available to reinvest in the business and return to shareholders. Cash flow will be impacted by changes in metal prices, which are outside of the company’s control.

All-in sustaining cash costs ($ per gold ounce)

All-in sustaining cash costs is a measure that is largely within the company’s control as it is not impacted by metal prices. All-in sustaining cost metrics reflect the ability of the company to maintain a low cost structure and the flexibility to adjust to market conditions, resulting in a positive margin to drive shareholder value. Increases in cash flows reflect improvements made across the portfolio to reduce costs as part of a focus on margin expansion. Target based the current producing mines' sustainable basis, including corporate G&A.

 

The all-in sustaining cash costs represent the primary metric defining the company's efficiency and ability to adjust to changing commodity prices. Maintaining a low all-in sustaining cost structure and adjusting costs to market conditions to maintain positive margins will drive shareholder value.

Advancement of internal finance processes

Progress made to enhance internal processes, financial systems, internal controls, and development of an internal audit team that conducts risk-based audits and provides assurance that the organization's risk management and internal control processes operate effectively and efficiently.

 

To continue to advance on both internal effectiveness and efficiency, as well as to support a listing on a secondary stock exchange.

Exploration
Replacement of gold reserves (000 ounces)

Total of all proven and probable mineral reserves.

 

This is a key indicator of the company’s ability to maintain and improve shareholder value. It is common that mineral reserve growth may occur at one or several mines in one year and at other mines in subsequent years due to available new resources to convert, development plans and capital deployment decisions. Mineral reserve replacement on a corporate reporting scale is a notable achievement, and growth beyond that is considered a stretch goal.

Number of mines replacing ounces Mineral reserve replacement on a mine-by-mine basis.
Total MRMR replacement (000 ounces) Total of all proven and probable gold mineral reserves and measured, indicated and inferred gold mineral resources at year end.  
Advancement of the generative exploration program Generate drill results aligned with the strategy plan.
Sustainability
Health and safety – Visible and Felt Leadership (VFL) and Field Critical Control Checklists (FCCC) Number of safety leading activities performed by site leadership per week.
Health and safety – Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIFR) Number of lost-time injuries, per million person-hours across the Company.
Health and safety - Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) per million person-hours across the company Number of total recordable Injury frequency rate per million person-hours across the Company.

Annual cash bonuses

 

The process to determine an executive’s annual bonus includes the following elements:

 

 

 

The board maintains discretion to apply a range of weightings between corporate performance and individual performance, although it normally considers a seventy/thirty distribution. The target range within the Company’s defined framework for actual bonus is up to 325%, although the board normally applies a range of up to 200%.

 

As described above, Company performance for 2025 was determined to be above target. Together with extraordinary individual contributions during the year, actual bonus awards were above target, within the defined framework.

 

   Salary   Actual Bonus 
NEO  $   $   % of Target 
Peter Marrone   927,000    3,000,000    259 
Daniel Racine   515,000    -    - 
Jason LeBlanc   386,250    600,000    155 
Gerardo Fernandez   360,500    600,000    166 
Sofia Tsakos   360,500    600,000    166 

 

Long-term equity-based incentives

 

Long-term equity-based incentives are granted to executive officers, reviewed by the compensation committee and approved by the board. Equity may be delivered in the form of stock options, PSUs, RSUs, or DSUs. These grants are intended to motivate executive officers to achieve longer-term Company growth objectives and to align the interests of executive officers and shareholders.

 

In the past, grant values of equity awards for the respective compensation year were made after year-end, influenced by the Company performance scorecard and individual performance, within a range of 0 – 200% of target. Past grants of equity were considered but were not a significant influence when setting current year grant values.

 

For 2025, to reinforce retention and stability among the senior executive team during a period of uncertainty, equity awards were granted at the start of the year, in the form of 100% RSUs. Equity grant values were as follows, all within the Company’s defined framework, with flexibility to provide grant values above target (consistent with annual bonus payments), up to 325% of target, although the board normally applies a range of up to 200%.

(1)Mr. Racine was granted RSUs in 2025 as President, which were paid out upon his retirement. Equity grant details in this table are specific to Mr. Racine’s executive role. This excludes DSUs and stock options granted to Mr. Racine as a member of the board of directors. Details provided in the Summary Compensation Table.

 

Retirement benefits

 

As part of total rewards, senior executives participate in a group non-contributory retirement saving plan, with Company contributions equivalent to 15% of base salary and annual cash bonus.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

 

The graph below shows the return of $100 invested in Common Shares on September 11, 2023, being the date the Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX, compared to $100 invested on the same date in the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index.

 

 

The Company has a strong pay for performance philosophy, with the majority of compensation for NEOs being at-risk (annual bonus payouts and long-term incentives), with pay outcomes linked directly to Company performance (financial, operating, share value).

 

Performance goals as part of the annual incentive plan align with the longer-term business strategy and are key drivers of share price performance over time.

 

With long-term equity-based compensation being a significant component of total compensation for NEOs, the value of outstanding long-term incentives tracks directly with the Company’s absolute and relative total shareholder return. This framework reinforces alignment between NEOs and our shareholders and motivates business decisions that will create longer-term value.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

 

We introduced a retirement savings plan for NEOs on September 7, 2023. Contributions under the plan are deposited into an individual retirement account for each participant. Participants decide how they want their contribution invested based on a range of investment choices. Account values change based on the contributions and performance of the underlying investment. Future benefits or income are not guaranteed.

 

2025 retirement benefits

 

In 2025, we contributed a percentage of each participant’s annual base salary and annual cash bonus to the executive retirement savings plan. NEOs receive 15% of their annual base salary and annual short-term incentive award.

 

The group registered retirement savings plan is non-contributory and competitive with the market.

 

Contributions are made up to the maximum amount allowed by the Canada Revenue Agency ($32,490 in 2025) for the Canadian executives. Any excess is paid out in cash for their personal non-registered retirement savings plans.

 

The table below shows the value of each named executive’s retirement benefits under the retirement savings plan as of December 31, 2025:

 

Name  Accumulated value
at start of year ($)
   Compensatory ($)   Accumulated value
at year end ($)
 
Peter Marrone   958,540    589,050    1,547,590

The values noted are before tax amounts. All required tax withholdings are made before contributions are made to an executive’s account.

Payments are made within 10 business days of termination or notice to terminate. The executive must execute a release of claims to receive change of control severance payments.

·the board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Change of Control as defined in the employment agreements has occurred or is imminent.

 

How we define good reason

 

A good reason means any of the following events where it occurs without the NEO’s express agreement in writing:

 

·an adverse change in any of the duties, powers, rights, discretion, prestige, salary, benefits or perquisites of the NEO, and with respect to financial entitlements, the conditions under and manner in which they were payable;
