Aris Mining Corporation (“Aris Mining” or the “Company”) may offer and issue from time to time common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), debt securities (“Debt Securities”), securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares and/or other securities (“Convertible Securities”), warrants to purchase Common Shares or Debt Securities (collectively, “Warrants”), subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”), or units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus (“Units”) (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Securities”) or any combination thereof during the 37-month period that this short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”), including any amendments hereto, remains effective. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”). In addition, Securities may be offered in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of any of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.
The specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering will be set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash and any other terms specific to the Common Shares being offered; (ii) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation, the aggregate principal amount, the currency or the currency unit for which the Debt Securities may be purchased, the maturity, the interest provisions, the authorized denominations, the offering price, whether the Debt Securities are being offered for cash, the covenants, the events of default, any terms for redemption or retraction, any exchange or conversion rights attached to the Debt Securities, whether the debt is senior or subordinated to the Company’s other liabilities and obligations, whether the Debt Securities will be secured by any of the Company’s assets or guaranteed by any other person and any other terms specific to the Debt Securities being offered; (iii) in the case of Convertible Securities, the number of Convertible Securities offered, the offering price, the procedures for the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities into or for Common Shares and/or other Securities and any other specific terms; (iv) in the case of Warrants, the offering price, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, the designation, the number and the terms of the Common Shares and/or Debt Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, any procedures that will result in the adjustment of these numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise, the currency in which the Warrants are issued and any other terms specific to the Warrants being offered; (v) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, the procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts for Common Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, and/or Units as the case may be, and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts being offered; and (vi) in the case of Units, the number of Units offered, the offering price of the Units, the number, designation and terms of the Securities comprising the Units and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers and any other specific terms applicable to the offering of Units. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.
All information permitted under applicable law to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which such Prospectus Supplement pertains.
An investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Only potential investors who are experienced in high-risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Company. See “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus, in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and in all other documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” or “Risks and Uncertainties”, which include a discussion of risks that could cause actual results to differ significantly from Aris Mining’s current expectations.
The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “ARIS” and on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ARIS”. On July 29, 2026, the last trading day on the TSX and the NYSE prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was C$19.57 and the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE was US$13.90. The outstanding 7.5% senior secured gold-linked notes of Aris Mining Holdings Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aris Mining, due on August 26, 2027 are listed on the Cboe Canada stock exchange (the “CBOE”) under the symbol “AMNG.NT.U” (the “2027 Aris Holdings Notes”). On July 29, 2026, the last trading day on the CBOE prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the 2027 Aris Holdings Notes on the CBOE was US$265.00.
There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of these Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, the Convertible Securities, the Warrants and the Subscription Receipts will not be listed on any securities exchange.
This Prospectus does not qualify the issuance of Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests, including, for example, an equity or debt security, or a statistical measure of economic or financial performance (including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items).
Aris Mining is a foreign private issuer under United States securities laws and is permitted under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Aris Mining has prepared its financial statements incorporated herein by reference in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) which is incorporated within Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting. Thus, they may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.
Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition, holding and disposition of securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States or who are resident in Canada may not be described fully herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion contained in the applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering of Securities.
The ability of investors to enforce civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because Aris Mining is incorporated in Canada, most of Aris Mining’s officers and directors and most of the experts named in this Prospectus are not residents of the United States, and all of Aris Mining’s assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities by U.S. and Canadian Investors”.

NONE OF THE CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES, THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR OTHER REGULATORY BODY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES, OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
As of the date hereof, the Company has determined that it qualifies as an “eligible issuer” and a “well-known seasoned issuer” under Part 9B of NI 44-102. See “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer”.
All information permitted under applicable law, including as permitted under Part 9B of NI 44-102, to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains. You should read this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement carefully before you invest in any Securities.
This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in those jurisdictions. The Company may offer and sell Securities to, or through, underwriters or dealers and also may offer and sell certain Securities directly to other purchasers or through agents pursuant to exemptions from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws. A Prospectus Supplement relating to each issue of Securities offered thereby will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers, agents or selling securityholders involved in the offering and sale of the Securities and will set forth the terms of the offering of the Securities, the method of distribution of the Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Company and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.
No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus nor has any underwriter performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.
In connection with any offering of Securities, unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a higher level than that which might exist in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.
Our head office is located at Suite 2400, 1021 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 0C3 and our registered office is located at Suite 2900, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 0A3.
Investors should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Company has not authorized anyone to provide investors with different or additional information. If anyone provides investors with different or additional information, investors should not rely on it. The Company is not making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. Investors should assume that the information contained in the Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement is accurate only as at the date of those documents and that information contained in any document incorporated by reference is accurate only as at the date of that document, regardless of the time of delivery of the Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement or of any sale of the Securities. The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, contains information that may constitute future-orientated financial information or financial outlook information (collectively, “FOFI”) about the Company’s prospective financial performance, financial position or cash flows, all of which is subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth above. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise or inaccurate and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on FOFI. The Company’s actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, FOFI. The Company has included FOFI in order to provide readers with a more complete perspective on the Company’s future operations and management’s current expectations relating to the Company’s future performance. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. FOFI contained herein was made as of the date of this Prospectus. Unless required by applicable laws, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any FOFI statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise indicates, “Aris Mining”, “Aris”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refers to Aris Mining Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with IFRS and present such financial statements in United States dollars. All dollar amounts in this Prospectus are expressed in United States dollars, except as otherwise indicated. References to “$”, or “US$” are to United States dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars.
Market data and certain industry forecasts used in this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement were obtained from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. We believe that these sources are generally reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of this information is not guaranteed. We have not independently verified such information, and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of such information.
The Securities being offered for sale under this Prospectus may only be sold in those jurisdictions in which offers and sales of the Securities are permitted. This Prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful. The information contained in this Prospectus is accurate only as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus or of any sale of the Securities.

CAUTIONARY NOTE FOR UNITED STATES INVESTORS

For example, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.

The Company may sell Securities (i) to underwriters or dealers purchasing as principal, (ii) directly to one or more purchasers pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions, (iii) through agents for cash or other consideration or (iv) in connection with an acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or non-fixed prices, such as prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of Securities in a specified market, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers. Prices may also vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of Securities. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Company.
The Prospectus Supplement for any Securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering of those Securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of Securities, the proceeds to the Company from the sale if determinable, any underwriting or agency fees or discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, any public offering price including the manner of determining such public offering price in the case of a non-fixed price distribution, and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers or agents. Only underwriters named in the relevant Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.
Underwriters, dealers or agents may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law. In connection with any offering of Securities, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time.
If underwriters purchase Securities as principals, such Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase those Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all Securities offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, or re-allowed, or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
Securities may also be sold directly by the Company at prices and upon terms agreed to by the purchaser and the Company through agents designated by the Company from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of Securities pursuant to this Prospectus will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company to that agent will be set forth, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any agent would be acting on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
The Company may agree to pay the underwriters a commission, or the dealers or agents a fee, for various services relating to the issue and sale of any Securities offered by this Prospectus. Any such commission or fee will be paid out of the proceeds of a particular offering or the Company’s general funds. Underwriters, dealers and agents who also participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments that those underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business.
The plan of distribution with respect to an offering of Securities under this Prospectus will be described in the Prospectus Supplement for the applicable distribution of Securities.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered thereunder generally applicable to investors, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax considerations.
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), including, to the extent applicable, any such consequences relating to the Securities payable in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, issued at an original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or containing early redemption provisions or other special items. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors prior to deciding to purchase any of the Securities.

An investment in the Securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative due to the nature of the business. Information regarding the risks affecting Aris Mining and its business is provided in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including in Aris Mining’s most recent AIF under the heading “Risk Factors”. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”. Risk factors relating to the Securities are discussed below and additional risk factors relating to a specific offering of Securities may be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The risk factors discussed therein and herein, as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially adversely affect our future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking information or statements relating to the Company, or its business, property or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of our Securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, you should also refer to the risk factors and other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement, including our Annual Financial Statements, and related notes.
Risks Related to the Securities
Future sales or issuances of debt or equity securities could decrease the value of any existing Common Shares, dilute investors’ voting power, reduce our earnings per share and make future sales of our equity securities more difficult.
We may sell or issue additional debt or equity securities in offerings to finance our operations, exploration, development, acquisitions or other projects. We cannot predict the size of future sales and issuances of debt or equity securities or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of debt or equity securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares.
Sales or issuances of a substantial number of equity securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of equity securities, investors will suffer dilution of their voting power and may experience dilution in the Company’s earnings per share. Sales of our Common Shares by shareholders might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Market price of Common Shares.
The market price of the Common Shares could fluctuate significantly. The market price of the Common Shares may fluctuate based on a number of factors, including:
| · | the Company’s operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies; |
| · | the prices for gold, silver and copper; |
| · | the market’s reaction to the issuance of securities or to other financing; |
| · | changes in general economic conditions; |
| · | the number of the Common Shares outstanding; |
| · | the arrival or departure of key personnel; and |
| · | acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company or its competitors. |
In addition, the market price of the Common Shares is affected by many variables not directly related to the Company’s success and not within the Company’s control, including developments that affect the industry as a whole, the breadth of the public market for the Common Shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments. In addition, securities markets have recently experienced an extreme level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. As a result of these and other factors, the share price of the Common Shares may be volatile in the future.
17
Future sales by existing shareholders could cause our share price to fall.
Future sales of Common Shares by shareholders of the Company could decrease the value of the Common Shares. We cannot predict the size of future sales by shareholders of the Company, or the effect, if any, that such sales will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales of a substantial number of Common Shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares.
We may not pay any cash dividends in the future.
The Company does not currently have a dividend or distribution policy in place and there is no certainty as to the amount of any dividend or that any dividend may be declared in the future.
Use of proceeds.
While detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company will have broad discretion in the actual application of the net proceeds and may elect to allocate proceeds differently from that described in such Prospectus Supplement if it believes it would be in its best interests to do so as circumstances change. You may not agree with how the Company allocates or spends the proceeds from the sale of Securities. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is no assurance of a sufficient liquid trading market for the Common Shares in the future.
Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of the Company’s Common Shares on the trading market, and that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the TSX and the NYSE or achieve listing on any other public listing exchange.
There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than our Common Shares, may be sold.
There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than our Common Shares, may be sold and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Convertible Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, or Units will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. As a consequence, purchasers may not be able to resell such Debt Securities, Convertible Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, or Units purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than our Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these securities and the extent of issuer regulation. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Securities, other than our Common Shares, will develop or, if developed, that any such market, including for our Common Shares, will be sustained.
The Debt Securities may be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other future unsecured debt.
The Debt Securities may be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future unsecured pari passu debt. The Debt Securities may be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. If we are involved in any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization, the secured debt holders would, to the extent of the value of the assets securing the secured debt, be paid before the holders of unsecured debt securities, including the Debt Securities. In that event, a holder of Debt Securities may not be able to recover any principal or interest due to it under the Debt Securities.
In addition, the collateral, if any, and all proceeds therefrom, securing any Debt Securities may be subject to higher priority liens in favor of other lenders and other secured parties which may mean that, at any time that any obligations that are secured by higher ranking liens remain outstanding, actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral (including the ability to commence enforcement proceedings against the collateral and to control the conduct of such proceedings) may be at the direction of the holders of such indebtedness.

This Prospectus is filed under Part 9B of NI 44-102, which came into force on November 28, 2025, and allows certain large, established reporting issuers with strong disclosure records, referred to as “well-known seasoned issuers” (as defined in NI 44-102), or “WKSIs”, to file a final short form base shelf prospectus as the first public step in an offering, and exempt qualifying issuers from certain disclosure requirements relating to such final short form base shelf prospectus. As of July 29, 2026, the Company’s “qualifying public equity” (as defined in NI 44-102) was C$4,185,362,770, which exceeds the C$500 million threshold prescribed under NI 44-102. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it qualifies as an “eligible issuer” and a “well-known seasoned issuer” under Part 9B of NI 44-102 as of the date hereof, and this Prospectus has been filed pursuant thereto in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Québec).

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCA”), a corporation may indemnify, among others, a present or former director or officer of the corporation, an individual who is or was a director or officer of another corporation at the request of the corporation or if, at the time, such other corporation is or was an affiliate of the corporation, or an individual who is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity at the request of the corporation (an “eligible party”), against all judgments, penalties or fines, or an amount paid in settlement of an eligible proceeding (an “eligible penalty”) to which the eligible party is or may be liable, and after final disposition may pay the costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, in respect of any legal proceeding or other investigative action in which an eligible party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the corporation or an associated corporation, is or may be joined as a party, or is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding (the “eligible proceeding”). A corporation must not indemnify an eligible party or pay the expenses of an eligible party if, among other things: (1) the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or the associated corporation, as the case may be; and (2) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. After final disposition of an eligible proceeding, a corporation must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if he or she has not been reimbursed for those expenses and is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding. A corporation cannot indemnify an eligible party if it is prohibited from doing so under its articles, even if it had agreed to do so by an indemnification agreement (provided that the articles prohibited indemnification when the indemnification agreement was made). A corporation may pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding in respect of that proceeding only if the eligible party has provided a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses was prohibited, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced. On application from the corporation or an eligible party, a court may make any order the court considers appropriate in respect of an eligible proceeding, including the indemnification of liabilities or expenses incurred in any such proceedings and the enforcement of an indemnification agreement. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of eligible parties against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the corporation or an associated corporation.
The amended articles of the Registrant (the “Amended Articles”) allow the Registrant to indemnify a director, former director, officer or former officer of the Registrant and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant may, after final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Subject to the BCA, the Registrant may also indemnify any other person. In addition, the Amended Articles specify that failure of an eligible party to comply with the provisions of the BCA or Amended Articles will not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled. The Amended Articles also allow for the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of specified eligible parties.
The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and certain officers (each an “Indemnitee” under such agreements) to indemnify the Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to certain limitations, against all liabilities, costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in an action or proceeding to which the Indemnitee was made a party by reason of the Indemnitee being or having been (i) an officer or director of the Registrant or (ii) an officer or director of another corporation, or a similar role with another entity, including a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity, if the Indemnitee serves such organization at the Registrant’s request.
The Registrant has purchased insurance policies relating to certain liabilities that its directors and officers may incur in such capacity.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
