On April 18, 2024, Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (“Silver Bull” or the “Company”) held its annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, five proposals were submitted to the shareholders for approval as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2024. As of the record date, February 22, 2024, a total of 47,365,652 shares of Silver Bull common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. In total, 12,362,808 shares of Silver Bull common stock were present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, which represented approximately 26.1% of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders approved four of the five proposals that were submitted, (i) electing the slate of four persons to the Company’s Board of Directors, (ii) ratifying and approving Smythe LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, (iii) ratifying and approving the key persons retention agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, by and between the Company and the persons named therein, and (iv) approving, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. For the fifth proposal submitted, shareholders approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, a triennial vote on executive compensation. In connection with each of the election of directors, the vote to ratify and approve the key persons retention agreement, the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, there were a total of 4,735,135 broker non-votes. The votes on the proposals were cast as set forth below:

1.                 Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors. The shareholders elected the entire slate of directors presented to the shareholders. As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors consists of the four persons elected at the Annual Meeting.

2.                 Proposal No. 2 – Ratification and approval of the appointment of Smythe LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024.

3.                 Proposal No. 3 – Ratification and approval of the key persons retention agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, by and between the Company and the persons named therein, disregarding 1,856,146 votes cast by or on behalf of excluded shareholders (i.e., participants in the agreement and their affiliates).

4.                 Proposal No. 4 – Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

5.                 Proposal No. 5 – Proposal No. 4 – Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

In response to the voting results and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined on April 18, 2024, that the Company will hold an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation every three years until the Company’s Board of Directors decides to hold the next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes, which shall be no later than the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2030.
