SSR Mining Inc. held its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders in a virtual format, with Executive Chairman Rod Antal presiding and outlining the meeting’s procedures, voting rules, and agenda items.
Virtual meeting procedures and voting
At the outset, the operator noted the meeting was being recorded and described consent and disclosure considerations related to personal information shared during the event. Antal said the company was using an electronic ballot for all matters and that questions could be submitted by registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders through the meeting interface.
Quorum and meeting administration
Antal said the board had delegated to him the authority to lead the meeting and appointed Eric Gunning, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, to act as secretary for the proceedings. Computershare Investor Services Inc., the company’s registrar and transfer agent, was appointed to act as scrutineer to compute votes and report results to the chair.
Antal said the scrutineer confirmed meeting materials were mailed to shareholders “on or about March 27, 2026,” and that proper notice of the meeting had been given. He added that the proxy statement was dated March 25, 2026 and that meeting materials were available on the company’s website and on EDGAR and SEDAR+.
Based on a preliminary scrutineer’s report, Antal declared that a quorum was present and that the meeting was “regularly called and properly constituted” to transact business.
Key business items: financial statements, directors, say-on-pay, auditor
Antal presented the company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, along with the auditor’s report. He said the documents would not be read at the meeting and that any related questions would be deferred until a question-and-answer period at the conclusion of the formal agenda.
The meeting then proceeded through the proposals set out in the proxy materials, with Antal noting that, under the company’s articles, he could propose motions and that no motions needed to be seconded. The key items included:
- Election of directors: Antal moved to elect eight nominees to hold office until the next annual meeting or until successors are elected or appointed. The nominees were Rod Antal, Thomas R. Bates Jr., Brian R. Booth, Alan P. Krusi, Daniel Malchuk, Laura Mullen, Kay Priestly, and Karen Swager.
- Advisory vote on executive compensation: Antal described the company’s “pay for performance” approach and said SSR Mining has held a “Say on Pay” advisory vote since 2016. He moved to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the company’s approach to executive compensation as described in the proxy statement.
- Ratification of auditor: Antal said the company’s current independent registered public accounting firm is PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), and that the audit committee had approved PwC’s reappointment. He moved to ratify PwC as auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and until the next annual meeting.
Voting outcome and conclusion
After electronic voting concluded, Antal said the company would publish the voting results on EDGAR and SEDAR+ and by press release. Based on “provisional results from the ballots and proxies deposited,” he declared that all resolutions passed and directed that the results be included in the meeting minutes.
Antal then closed the formal portion of the meeting and opened the session for shareholder questions. After allowing time for submissions through the Q&A function, the company concluded the meeting, stating there were no questions.
