Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

As previously disclosed by Corvus Gold Inc. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Commission on December 8, 2017, on October 12, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment to Consulting Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”), amending the Consulting Agreement dated June 1, 2011 by and between the Company, Blue Pegasus Consulting and Peggy Wu (the “Original Agreement”), regarding Ms. Wu’s services to the Company as Chief Financial Officer (the “Consultant”).

 

As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Commission on July 29, 2020, on July 27, 2020, a further amendment was approved (the “Amendment”) by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to increase the fees paid under the Agreement to CAD $10,000 per month effective as at September 1, 2020.

 

The amount of the increase noted above at CAD$10,000 per month was intended by the Company and the Consultant to be CAD$10,833.33 per month. Despite this, the fees to the Consultant have been paid at CAD$10,000 per month, consistent with the previously disclosed amount. To correct this error, the Company and the Consultant have agreed to an amendment to schedule “B” to the Agreement, dated July 28, 2021, in which the fees have been corrected to $10,833.33 per month and a one-time catch-up payment has been made to the Consultant of $8,333.30.

 

On July 28, 2021, the Board approved an Acknowledgment Agreement with the Consultant to amend the Amendment Agreement. The Amendment Agreement was unintentionally entered into with Corvus Gold Nevada Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“Corvus Nevada”), whereas the parties intended the Agreement to be with the Company consistent with the Original Agreement. Pursuant to the Acknowledgment Agreement, the Consultant, the Company and Corvus Nevada acknowledge the error and agree to amend all references in the Amendment Agreement that refer to Corvus Nevada to instead refer to the Company as was intended.

 

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Acknowledgment Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the Acknowledgment Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

1. The Consultant has been retained by the Company to assist in the furtherance of its business pursuant to the terms and conditions of a consulting agreement between the Company, the Consultant, and the Principal dated June 1, 2011 (the “Original Agreement”).

 

2. The Consultant, the Principal and the Company intended to amend the Original Agreement by entering into an amendment agreement dated October 12, 2017, which purports to be between the Subsidiary, the Consultant, and the Principal and is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Amendment Agreement”).

 

3. The Company should have been and was at all times intended by the parties to be the entity contracting with the Consultant in the Amendment Agreement.

11. The Subsidiary hereby releases and forever discharges the Consultant and the Principal of and from all manner of any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, accounts, obligations, demands, contracts and claims whatsoever which the Subsidiary has or ever had, or which the Subsidiary can, shall or may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from or resulting from the Amendment Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE for valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby mutually acknowledged, the Company and the Consultant agree as follows:

 

1. As of the date of this Amendment, Section 9.1 of the Consulting Agreement is deleted and replaced as follows:

 

“9.1 Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause, by providing thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other party. The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately for cause without advance written notice. Cause shall include, but not be limited to, any material breach of this Agreement or material misconduct or negligence in the performance of the Services. Upon termination, without cause, the Consultant will be entitled to payment for all Base Fees and Payments earned or incurred during the term of this Agreement, but shall not thereafter be entitled to any Base Fees or Payments.”

 

 

 

- 2 -

 

2. As of the date of this Amendment, Section 9.2 is added to the Consulting Agreement as follows:

 

“9.2 If, within six (6) months of a Change of Control, (A) the Company terminates this Agreement for any reason other than for cause, as set forth in Section 9.1(a), or (B) the Consultant terminates this Agreement as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, then the Company shall pay Consultant two (2) times Consultant’s annual Base Fees and Payments.

 

(a)       For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the consummation of any of the following transactions effecting a change in ownership or control of the Company:

 

(i)       a merger, consolidation or reorganization, unless securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities of the successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who beneficially owned the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction; or

 

(ii)       any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

 

(iii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or related group of persons (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and/or Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to a take-over bid, tender or exchange offer made directly to the Company’s stockholders that the Board does not recommend such stockholders to accept.

 

In no event, however, shall a Change in Control be deemed to occur in connection with (i) a merger of the Company, the sole purpose of which is to change the domicile of the Company, or (ii) any public offering of Common Stock, the primary purpose of which is to raise capital.”

 

 

With the exception of the foregoing changes, the Consulting Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Consulting Agreement and this Amendment to Consulting Agreement Amendment shall be construed as one and the same instrument. This Amendment to Consulting Agreement may be executed in counterparts which taken together form one and the same agreement and may be executed and delivered electronically.
