VOX ANNOUNCES Q3 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

AND DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

 

All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

 

TORONTO, CANADA – November 8, 2023 – Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX: VOXR) (NASDAQ: VOXR) (“Vox” or the “Company”), a returns focused mining royalty company, is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: “Our third quarter reflects record quarterly and year-to-date gross profits, underpinned by strong revenue that is in line with the annual revenue guidance we announced on April 27,2023. Our differentiated, returns-focused strategy continues to generate significant fundamental value for investors. To complement the organic growth of our portfolio, we have strategically acquired 10 royalties in Australia over the past two months. We expect these to unlock medium- to long-term revenue from key gold and copper assets such as Red Hill, Plutonic East and Horseshoe Lights. In addition to these recent asset acquisitions, we were pleased to announce an innovative coal IP licensing transaction aimed at unlocking latent value for Vox shareholders.”

Quarterly Dividend

 

The Company is also pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.011 per common share to be paid on January 12, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 29, 2023.

 

For shareholders residing in Canada, the dividend will be paid in Canadian dollars based on the daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on December 29, 2023. The dividend qualifies as an “eligible dividend” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The dividend is subject to customary Canadian withholding tax for shareholders that are not resident in Canada.

 

Form S-8 Registration Statement and Reoffer Prospectus

 

The Company also announces that on November 9, 2023, it will file a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Form S-8”) and an accompanying reoffer prospectus (the “Reoffer Prospectus”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Under U.S. federal securities laws, an issuer must register any offer or sale of its securities, including equity awards issued as employee compensation, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), unless an exemption applies. Here, the Company is filing the Form S-8 with the SEC to register (i) Vox common shares underlying options, restricted share units, and performance share units previously granted under the Vox Royalty Corp. 2020 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”); (ii) Vox common shares underlying options, deferred share units, restricted share units, and performance share units previously granted under the Vox Royalty Corp. 2023 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”); and (iii) Vox common shares issuable pursuant to the 2023 Plan under the 1933 Act. The Company is also filing the Form S-8 with the SEC to register the reoffer and resale of certain Vox common shares that may be deemed to be “restricted securities” and/or “control securities” within the meaning of the 1933 Act by certain shareholders of the Company who are its current directors and executive officers.

 

The Reoffer Prospectus does not constitute a commitment by the Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Reoffer Prospectus) to sell all or any of the stated number of owned common shares, and the actual number of common shares offered and sold will be determined from time to time by each Selling Shareholder in his or her sole discretion. At the time of filing this press release, neither of the Selling Shareholders have arranged for the sale of any common shares that are the subject of registration as set out in the Reoffer Prospectus.

Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” “plans”, “estimates” or “intends” or stating that certain actions, events or results “ may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to materially differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to materially differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions; the absence of control over mining operations from which Vox will purchase precious metals or from which it will receive royalty or stream payments, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, delays in mine construction and operations, actual results of mining and current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans are refined; problems related to the ability to market precious metals or other metals; industry conditions, including commodity price fluctuations, interest and exchange rate fluctuations; interpretation by government entities of tax laws or the implementation of new tax laws; the volatility of the stock market; competition; risks related to Vox’s dividend policy; epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, including the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflict in Ukraine, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Vox’s annual information form for the financial year ended December 31, 2022 available at www.sedarplus.ca and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov (as part of Vox’s Form 40-F).

The forward-looking information contained in this press release represents the expectations of Vox as of the date of this press release and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. Readers should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date. While Vox may elect to, it does not undertake to update this information at any particular time except as required in accordance with applicable laws.

Technical and Third-Party Information

 

Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure in this press release is based on information publicly disclosed by project operators based on the information/data available in the public domain as at the date hereof and none of this information has been independently verified by Vox. Specifically, as a royalty investor, Vox has limited, if any, access to the royalty operations. Although Vox does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such information from the project operators is complete or accurate.
