| • | Shareholders who have questions or require voting assistance are encouraged to contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group by email atassistance@laurelhill.com, or by texting INFO to, or calling, 1-877-452-7184 (North American toll-free) or 1-416-304-0211 (outside North America). |
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 22, 2026 /CNW/ - Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) announces that its Board of Directors has approved a variation to the special resolution concerning the Company's Articles (the "Articles") to be considered at the Company's annual general and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") as described more fully below. In order to provide shareholders sufficient time to consider the proposed variation, the Meeting, originally scheduled for September 25, 2026, has been postponed to October 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time). The proxy voting deadline has accordingly been extended to September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time).
Overview of Proposed Amendments
As set forth in the Company's management information circular dated August 12, 2026 (the "Circular"), the Company has asked shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to pass with or without variation a special resolution (the "Amended Articles Resolution") authorizing the Company to make certain amendments to its Articles in order to align its constating documents with the listing rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange") (Item 3 in the Proxy). These Hong Kong listing-related amendments, which are described more fully in the Circular, will only be implemented if the Board determines to proceed with the listing of the Company's common shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and, in that event, immediately before or concurrently with completion of the listing.
Following consideration of feedback received from shareholders and proxy advisors, improvements in certain clauses of the Articles for better corporate governance were identified and the Board approved targeted amendments intended to strengthen the Company's governance framework while preserving appropriate flexibility for the Board to manage the Company's affairs. The Company is therefore proposing to expand the Amended Articles Resolution described in Item 3 in the Proxy to include these additional amendments. If the Amended Articles Resolution is passed at the Meeting, the additional governance amendments will be implemented promptly following the Meeting.
The following is a summary of the proposed additional amendments to the Articles:
Quorum Requirements
| • | Under Article 11.3, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are, or represent by proxy, shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. The Company proposes to amend Article 11.3 by increasing the quorum requirement from 5% to 25%. |
| • | Under Article 18.10, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of directors may be set by the directors. The Company proposes to amend Article 18.10 to require that quorum be at least one-half of the directors then in office, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The directors may establish a greater quorum but may not establish a lower quorum. |
Alternate Directors
| • | Under Article 15, any director may by notice in writing received by the Company appoint any person who is qualified to act as a director to be his or her alternate to act in his or her place at meetings of the directors or committees of the directors at which the appointor is not present. The Company proposes to amend the Articles by deleting Article 15 and all references to alternate directors. |
Advance Notice Provisions: Article 16
sets forth the process by which shareholders may nominate individuals for election to the Board at a general meeting of shareholders
(the "Advance Notice Provisions"). The Company proposes to amend the Advance Notice Provisions as follows:
| • | Under Article 16, paragraph 3, shareholder nominations must generally be submitted at least 30 days, but no more than 65 days before the originally scheduled meeting date. The Company proposes to amend the Articles by (a) removing the requirement that nominations cannot be submitted more than 65 days before the meeting and (b) providing that, when a meeting is postponed or adjourned, the applicable nomination deadline will be determined by reference to the new meeting date rather than solely by reference to the date originally scheduled for the meeting. The requirement that notice be provided at least 30 days before the meeting will remain unchanged. |
| • | Under Article 16, paragraph 4, the Company may require a proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as an independent director or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder's understanding of the nominee's independence. The Company proposes to amend Article 16 to limit the additional information that may be required in connection with a shareholder nomination to information required under applicable securities laws and the rules and requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's voting securities are listed. |
The complete text of the revised Amended Articles Resolution is set out below. A redline showing the proposed changes against the Company's current Articles will also be available on the Company's website at https://silvercorpmetals.com/agm-info/ for convenience.
Text of Revised Amended Articles Resolution (Item 3 in the Proxy)
The full text of the Amended Articles Resolution, as revised to (i) reflect the proposed amendments described above and (ii) clarify that the proposed amendments described in the Circular may be implemented concurrent with or shortly before the common shares of the Company are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is set forth below:
"BE IT RESOLVED as a special resolution that:
| 1. | The Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to amend the current Articles of the Company in the manner set forth in the press release of the Company issued and filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedarplus.ca on September 22, 2026. |
| 2. | Subject to the Company determining to list the common shares of the Company on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the "Hong Kong Listing"), the Company be and is hereby authorized (but not required) to replace the current Articles of the Company with the Amended Articles as set out in Schedule "1" to the management proxy circular of the Company dated August 12, 2026 (updated to reflect the changes in paragraph 1) concurrently with or shortly before completion of the Hong Kong Listing. |
| 3. | Any one director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to take all necessary steps and proceedings, including filing of such documents and taking such further actions that may be necessary to effect the amendment to the current Articles; to execute, or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such other documents and instruments; and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things, as such director or officer of the Company may consider to be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions, such necessity or desirability to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such documents or instruments or the taking of any such actions." |

The Board of Directors of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOR of the Amended Articles Resolution, if they have not already done so, ahead of the proxy voting deadline on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time).
Proxies and voting instructions previously submitted will remain valid. A shareholder who has already voted and wishes to change their vote may submit a new proxy or voting instruction form before the extended deadline by following the instructions in the Circular and the proxy or voting instruction form included therewith. A properly submitted later-dated proxy or voting instruction will replace the shareholder's earlier instructions, provided it is received before the extended voting deadline.
The Company has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group ("Laurel Hill") to act as its proxy solicitation agent and shareholder engagement manager in connection with the Meeting. Laurel Hill will receive a fee of $30,000 for its services, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company has agreed to indemnify Laurel Hill against certain liabilities arising from its engagement. All costs associated with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, email, internet or other means of communication by Laurel Hill and by directors, officers and employees of the Company.
