Eco Oro Responds To What It Calls “Dissidents’ Forum Shopping and Further Attempt to Disenfranchise Shareholders”

Eco Oro Minerals Corp. (TSX: EOM) has responded to the latest in a series of attempts by a dissident shareholder group led by Courtenay Wolfe and Harrington Global Opportunities Fund Ltd. to disrupt the affairs of the Company.

As shareholders are aware, in light of the over 50% appreciation of Eco Oro’s share price since the Company announced on July 21, 2016, that it had sold unsecured convertible notes to Trexs Investments, LLC, the board of directors of the company sought to deleverage the company and, on March 16, 2017, announced that Eco Oro had issued 10,600,000 common shares to unsecured convertible noteholders to partially satisfy the outstanding unsecured convertible indebtedness.

The board acted to extinguish part of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations at a share price that protects future shareholder value. The dissidents, having already commenced litigation with the British Columbia Supreme Court in connection with the deleveraging, have now applied to the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) and British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) to appeal the approval granted by the Toronto Stock Exchange to issue the underlying shares. Eco Oro believes the OSC and BCSC will find the dissidents’ applications to be completely without merit.

Eco Oro believes that the dissidents are engaged in “forum-shopping” in order to find a receptive audience for their purported grievances. The company notes that this latest action, follows a pattern of disruptive behavior including the requisitioning of a meeting of shareholders to replace the board, issuing a series of false and misleading statements, and commencing litigation. These actions are an unnecessary cost and distraction for the company during a critical and sensitive period, and threaten to harm shareholder value.
