Immediately prior to this acquisition, Sun Valley beneficially owned 8,100,000 common shares of Canagold and 500,000 common share purchase warrants, representing approximately 9.36% of the common shares currently outstanding on an undiluted basis and approximately 9.88% on a partially diluted basis. Following the entering into of the Private Transaction (with closing of the purchase of the Acquired Securities expected to occur on or about June 22, 2022), Sun Valley beneficially owns 15,240,371 shares of Canagold and 500,000 common share purchase warrants representing approximately 17.61% of the common shares currently outstanding on an undiluted basis and approximately 18.08% on a partially diluted basis.

On May 20, 2022, Sun Valley delivered a notice of nomination of three candidates to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Nomination Notice”), being Ms. Sofia Bianchi, Dr. Carmen Letton and Mr. Andrew Trow (collectively, the “Nominees”), in accordance with the Company’s Advance Notice Policy effective July 25, 2013 in connection with the Company’ annual and special meeting of shareholders, currently scheduled for July 19, 2022 (the “Meeting”).
