On May 13, 2021, Golden Minerals Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its intent to adjourn its annual meeting of stockholders from May 13, 2021 to June 10, 2021. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company has decided to adjourn the virtual annual meeting in order to provide additional time to solicit proxies with respect to proposals presented to the stockholders for approval, specifically, the proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized common stock from 200,000,000 to 350,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment”). Although nearly 90% of the shares represented by proxies received to date have approved the Charter Amendment proposal, the number of votes in favor of the proposal has not yet reached a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which is required for passage. The Company’s board recommends a vote in favor of the Charter Amendment for the reasons described in the proxy statement, including the need to have sufficient authorized common stock in order to permit the future issuance of common stock to support the growth and expansion of the Company’s business, including future acquisition of mining properties or other companies engaged in the mining business.
