VANCOUVER, BC / HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / October 11, 2024 / Reyna Gold Corp. (TSXV:REYG)(OTCQB:REYFG) (" Reyna Gold ") and Reyna Silver Corp . (TSXV:RSLV)(OTCQB:RSNVF)(FRA:4ZC) (" Reyna Silver ") are pleased to announce that the shareholders of Reyna Gold (the " REYG Shareholders ") have approved the previously announced acquisition of Reyna Gold by Reyna Silver by way of a plan of arrangement (the " Transaction ") at a special meeting of the REYG Shareholders (the " Special Meeting ") held on October 8, 2024. Reyna Gold and Reyna Silver are also pleased to announce that Reyna Gold obtained a final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia on October 10, 2024 approving the Transaction and finding it to be fair and reasonable to the REYG Shareholders. Under the terms of the Transaction, each REYG Shareholder will receive one common share of Reyna Silver for every three common shares of Reyna Gold held (the " Consideration ").

"The overwhelming support of our shareholders for the Reyna Silver transaction demonstrates our shareholders' excitement for the prospects of the combined business," said Michael Wood, CEO of Reyna Gold.

"We believe that the combined portfolio of the Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold exploration properties and the combined management team's experience creates the potential for the combined business to become a premier metals exploration company," added Jorge Ramiro Monroy, CEO of Reyna Silver.

The Special Meeting Voting Results

The special resolution approving the Transaction (the " Arrangement Resolution ") required the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by REYG Shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. The Arrangement Resolution was approved by a significant majority of votes cast at the Special Meeting. The table below summarizes the voting results on the Arrangement Resolution:

A total of 13,421,540 common shares of Reyna Gold (" Reyna Gold Shares ") were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, representing approximately 19.96% of the outstanding Reyna Gold Shares.

The Transaction

Full details regarding the Transaction and information regarding the procedure for the exchange of Reyna Gold Shares for the Consideration are provided in Reyna Gold's management information circular dated September 6, 2024 (the " Circular "). The Circular and accompanying letter of transmittal are available on SEDAR+ under Reyna Gold's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on Reyna Gold's website at www.reynagold.com .

The Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including approval of the TSXV, and is expected to close on or around October 17, 2024. Following completion of the Transaction, Reyna Gold will be wholly-owned by Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold's shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ") and an application is expected to be made for Reyna Gold to cease to be a reporting issuer in the applicable jurisdictions.

The Debt Conversion

Reyna Gold is also pleased to announce that it has agreed with certain directors of Reyna Gold to, immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, issue 838,750 Reyna Gold Shares (the " Debt Shares ") to such directors in exchange for the cancellation of $41,937.50 of certain outstanding director and management fees (the " Debt Conversion "). The Debt Shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.05, in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

The Debt Conversion and related issuance of Debt Shares is expected to occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction and are subject to: (a) the approval of the TSXV; and (b) the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions precedent to the Transaction set out in the arrangement agreement dated August 7, 2024 between Reyna Gold and Reyna Silver. All securities issued pursuant to the Debt Conversion are subject to a statutory four month hold period. Upon the closing of the Transaction, any Debt Shares issued will be converted into common shares of Reyna Silver on the basis of one common share of Reyna Silver for every three Reyna Gold Shares.

The issuance of the Debt Shares to the directors constitutes a "related party transaction" as that term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101: Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "). Reyna Gold intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Debt Shares nor the debt exceeds 25% of Reyna Gold's market capitalization.

The anticipated Debt Conversion was previously announced in Reyna Gold and Reyna Silver's news releases dated August 7, 2024 and in the Circular.
