Foremost Clean Energy Sends Management Information Circular for Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders and Strongly Encourages Online Voting Given Postal Service Disruption

02.12.2024  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Dec. 02, 2024 - Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) ("Foremost" or the "Company"), an emerging North American uranium and lithium exploration company, today announces that, further to its news release dated November 15, 2024, it has sent via courier to all registered Foremost shareholders (the "Company Shareholders") a notice-and-access notification with respect to the management information circular (the "Circular") and form of proxy for the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the Company shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on December 20, 2024 at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP, Suite 1700, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, to consider amongst other things and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution"), approving a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement") to facilitate the strategic spin-out of the Winston Group of Gold and Silver Properties (the "Properties") to Rio Grande Resources Ltd. ("Rio Grande"), a recently incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of Foremost (the "Spin-Out"), all as more particularly described in the Circular (the "Transaction").

In addition, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), on behalf of the Company, has sent via courier the notice-and-access notification with respect to the Circular and a voting instruction form to non-registered Company Shareholders. The Company arranged for courier delivery of all meeting materials in light of the national strike commenced by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers on November 15, 2024 (the "Strike") which resulted in Canada Post's operations being suspended. Absent delivery by courier, Company shareholders would not have received the meeting materials sufficiently in advance of the Meeting to consider the items of business and vote, if at all. However, given the unprecedented demand for courier services as a result of the Strike, Broadridge indicated that it was limited in the number of meeting materials that it could courier on any given day across all of its clients and therefore was compelled to pro rate its distribution in respect of each such issuer. As a result, Broadridge elected to courier meeting materials only to those non-registered shareholders holding 10,000 or more common shares of Foremost ("Common Shares"), with the remaining non-registered shareholders to receive their meeting materials by mail, if and when the Strike is resolved.

Insofar as it is unlikely that the Strike will resolve sufficiently in advance of the Meeting to allow for that distribution, and in order to facilitate the delivery of the Circular and related materials for the Meeting to other Company Shareholders the Company will deliver, by email, a copy of the Circular and related materials for the Meeting to each registered or non-registered Company Shareholder who requests (please direct any requests for copies of the Circular and related materials for the Meeting to: info@foremostcleanenergy.com). Non-registered Company Shareholders are also encouraged to contact the proxy department at their broker or other intermediary (where their Common Shares are held) who can assist them with the voting process. Non-registered Company Shareholders must follow the voting instructions provided by their broker or other intermediary and will need their specific control number to vote.

In light of the ongoing Strike and the strong potential that any votes submitted by mail will not be received by Foremost and not voted at the Meeting, both registered and non-registered Company Shareholders are strongly encouraged to take advantage of online voting in the manner set out in the form of proxy (in the case of registered Company Shareholders) or voting instruction form provided by their broker or other intermediary (in the case of non-registered Company Shareholders).

The Circular and related materials for the Meeting have also been filed on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and posted to the Company's website at https://foremostcleanenergy.com/investors/shareholder-meeting.html.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, among other things, the Properties will be transferred to Rio Grande, and Foremost Shareholders will exchange each outstanding common share of Foremost (each a "Foremost Shares") for one (1) new common share of Foremost and two (2) common shares of Rio Grande (the "Rio Grande Shares"). Foremost is expected to initially retain an approximate 19.95% interest in Rio Grande. Completion of the Arrangement is conditional upon, among other things, the listing of the Rio Grande Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") or other stock exchange.

On November 12, 2024, the BC Supreme Court granted an interim order (the "Interim Order") providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and certain other matters related to the Meeting and the Arrangement. A copy of the Interim Order is included in the Circular. The Interim Order was amended on November 27, 2024, to also allow for the delivery of the Circular and related meeting materials to non-registered Company Shareholders via email, upon request.
