NOBLE ADOPTS SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN AND ENGAGES INVESTOR RELATIONS CONSULTANT
Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.
has adopted shareholder rights plan agreement and has engaged investor relations consultant.
Shareholder rights plan agreement
The shareholder rights plan agreement was adopted to help ensure
to the extent possible, the fair treatment of shareholders in the event of any takeover bid, other acquisition of control and/or creeping takeover bid for the company without payment to all shareholders of an adequate control premium. A creeping takeover bid occurs where acquisition of a significant interest in the company takes place through a number of share purchases over time.
When faced with a takeover bid, the plan also provides Noble's board of directors with time to pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Under the plan, rights have been issued to holders of Noble common shares at a rate of one right for each common share. The effect of those rights is to ensure that if a takeover bid is under way for Noble or another party has acquired control (or 20 per cent or more) of Noble's shares, the board and/or shareholders of Noble will be provided time to consider the bid and evaluate alternatives. The plan is very similar to rights plans adopted by other Canadian issuers, and it was not adopted in response to any specific proposal or intention to acquire control of the company.
The plan is effective immediately for an initial term of three years but is subject to ratification by shareholders of the company at the annual general and special meeting being scheduled for February, 2026, or such other date to be approved by the board. The TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the plan subject to Noble obtaining shareholder approval and satisfying certain other conditions.
The plan is contained in an agreement entered into with TSX Trust Company, the company's transfer agent and it will be attached to the management information circular to be prepared for the AGM. If the plan is not approved by shareholders at the AGM and is not otherwise approved by shareholders of Noble by June 6, 2026, the plan and all rights issued thereunder will then terminate. Assuming that Noble's shareholders will approve the plan at the AGM, the adoption of the plan will remain subject to final acceptance by TSX-V.
Investor relations consultant
Noble announces that it has retained the services of GRA Enterprises LLC doing business as National Inflation Association (NIA) to provide investor relations services to the company for an initial term of six months, which term may be renewed by Noble for an additional term of three, six or 12 months. The aggregate consideration for the services provided during the initial term is $50,000 (U.S.) payable in three tranches. The services include communications of Noble's activities through NIA's Inflation.us social media, and contacts with the financial community, shareholders, investors and other stakeholders for the purpose of increasing awareness of the company and its activities. NIA started to reach out to stakeholders of the company on Dec. 3, 2025.
NIA and its affiliates currently hold no shares of the company, however NIA may from time to time acquire or dispose of securities of the company through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant. NIA is at arm's length to Noble and has no other relationship with the company, except pursuant to the services agreement. The retention of NIA to provide the services is subject to regulatory approval by TSX-V.
