VANCOUVER, BC — January 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Alta Copper Corp. is urging shareholders to vote in favor of the special resolution approving the company’s plan of arrangement with Fortescue Ltd and its subsidiary, Nascent Exploration Pty Ltd. Independent proxy advisory firms, including Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), have recommended shareholders vote “FOR” the arrangement.
The arrangement would see shareholders receive C$1.40 in cash for each Alta Copper common share held.
The special meeting for shareholders and optionholders to vote on the arrangement is scheduled for January 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) at Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP in Vancouver, British Columbia.
ISS stated that the cash consideration offers a fair premium over the unaffected market price, delivering immediate value and certainty to shareholders. They added that shareholders can reasonably be assured that the consideration is competitive, with no indication of alternative offers likely to emerge, supported by the positive market reaction and credibility of the valuation.
Giulio T. Bonifacio, President and CEO of Alta Copper, said that the recommendations from ISS and other proxy advisory firms reinforce the Board’s unanimous recommendation that shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement, which provides Alta Copper shareholders with all-cash consideration of C$1.40 per share, delivering immediate value and certainty. Bonifacio encourages all shareholders to vote as soon as possible before the proxy deadline.
The Board of Directors of Alta Copper recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.
The proxy voting deadline is 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Thursday, January 22, 2026. Shareholders are encouraged to vote well in advance of the proxy voting deadline. Alta Copper is using Broadridge’s QuickVote™ service to solicit votes over the telephone from eligible beneficial shareholders.
For the Arrangement to become effective, it must be approved by: (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders and optionholders, voting as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders, excluding votes cast by the Purchaser and its affiliates.
