District Metals Corp. Strengthens Executive Compensation Amid Strategic Growth Initiatives
District Metals Corp. announces amendments to the change of control provisions for its CEO, Garrett Ainsworth, and CFO, Marlis Yassin, effective June 27, 2025. This strategic decision aims to align executive compensation with the company's long-term goals and ensure stability during potential transitions. Under these new provisions, if a change of control occurs and the executives are terminated within 12 months, they will receive two times their annual compensation plus bonuses from the previous two years, along with immediate vesting of all incentive securities. In cases of termination without cause, they will receive one times their annual compensation and bonuses from the last year. This structure is designed to attract and retain top management talent essential for navigating the complexities of the mining industry.
The amendments reflect District Metals Corp.'s commitment to fostering an environment that supports executive leadership during critical periods. By securing compensation packages that respond to change of control situations, the company reinforces its strategic direction and operational continuity. With a focus on growth and development, these provisions not only incentivize the current leadership team but also help to build investor confidence in the company's governance structure. District Metals Corp. is poised to leverage this stability as it advances its exploration efforts in Sweden, particularly at its Viken and Tomtebo Properties.
In addition to the changes in compensation, District Metals Corp. has also issued 3,300,000 incentive stock options, 925,000 restricted share units, and 675,000 deferred share units to its directors, officers, and consultants. Each stock option is exercisable for five years at a price of $0.69 per share, with restricted and deferred share units vesting over three years. Furthermore, the company has successfully issued 7,132,500 common shares from warrant exercises in June 2025, generating gross proceeds of $1,432,250. This influx of capital provides District Metals with the financial resources necessary to further its ambitious exploration and development projects in a competitive market.
District Metals Corp. continues to position itself as a leader in polymetallic exploration, focusing on high-potential sites like the Viken Property, which houses the world's largest undeveloped uranium resource. The advanced Tomtebo Property, situated near historical mines, is expected to reveal similar geological features, enhancing the company's prospects. Through a science-based approach to mining, District Metals aims to create shareholder value while also benefiting local communities and adhering to sustainable practices in the mining sector.
