OOR cancelled 15M stock options and re-granted them under its new omnibus plan to fix a pricing inconsistency, preserving original terms.
Opus One Gold Corp. (OOR: TSXV) cancelled 15 million stock options and re-granted them under a new omnibus equity plan, preserving the original exercise prices and expiry dates, the company said.
The move addressed a pricing inconsistency. The original options, granted in October 2024 and February 2025, carried exercise prices of $0.05 and $0.055 per share – the closing price on each grant date. But at that time the company still operated under a former stock option plan that required a minimum exercise price of $0.10, regardless of the TSX Venture Exchange's updated Policy 4.4, adopted in November 2021, which allowed lower prices.
The board determined the discrepancy needed fixing. The cancellation and immediate re-grant shifts the options to the Omnibus Plan, which was approved by shareholders at the June 10, 2025 annual meeting. The Omnibus Plan permits option grants below $0.10 as long as the exercise price is at least the market price on the trading day before the grant. The re-grant keeps the same holders, amounts, prices and expiry dates, the company said.
The Omnibus Plan replaced the former stock option plan to give the company a broader set of incentive tools, including restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units. It is a rolling 10% plan: options issued under it cannot exceed 10% of outstanding shares on any grant date. The plan must be re-approved by shareholders annually under TSXV rules.
Opus One is a mining exploration company focused on gold and base metals in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec and Ontario. Its assets sit in the Val-d'Or and Matagami districts.
The 15 million options cover three tranches: 12.15 million originally granted Oct. 25, 2024, expiring Oct. 25, 2034; 2 million granted Feb. 4, 2025, expiring Feb. 4, 2035; and 850,000 granted Feb. 26, 2025, with expiries in 2035 and 2030. All now sit under the Omnibus Plan with the same economic terms as the original grants.
