VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 17,
2023 /CNW/ - Maverix Metals Inc. ("Maverix" or the
"Company") (NYSE American; MMX) (TSX: MMX) is pleased to announce
that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has
granted a final order approving the previously announced
acquisition of Maverix by Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp.
("Triple Flag") by way of plan of arrangement in accordance with
the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement").
Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, Triple Flag will acquire
all of the issued and outstanding shares of Maverix for the
consideration of either US$3.92 in
cash or 0.360 of a common share of Triple Flag per Maverix share
held (the "Consideration").
Maverix shareholders were entitled to make an election for their
form of consideration by the election deadline of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 11, 2023 (the "Election Deadline"). The
shareholder election in respect of the Consideration is subject to
pro-ration such that the cash consideration will not exceed 15% of
the total consideration and the share consideration will not exceed
85% of the total consideration. Maverix shareholders who did not
elect to receive either all Triple Flag shares or all cash by the
Election Deadline are deemed to have elected the default
consideration of 0.360 of a Triple Flag share per Maverix share
held. As previously reported, a total of 38,309,854 shares will be
tendered for cash consideration, representing approximately 26% of
the total issued and outstanding shares of Maverix, and a total of
7,323,240 shares will be tendered for share consideration, which
combined with 101,746,260 common shares that did not make election
and defaulted to being tendered for share consideration, represents
approximately 74% of the total issued and outstanding shares of
Maverix.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining
conditions to closing contained in the arrangement agreement dated
November 9, 2022 between Maverix and
Triple Flag, the Arrangement is expected to be effected on or about
January 19, 2023.
Following completion of the Arrangement, Maverix expects to
delist its common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the
New York Stock Exchange. Maverix will also apply to the Canadian
securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer in the
applicable jurisdictions following the completion of the
Arrangement.

Cautionary statements to U.S.
investors
Information contained or referenced in this press release or in
the documents referenced herein concerning the properties,
technical information and operations of Maverix has been prepared
in accordance with requirements and standards under Canadian
securities laws, which differ from the requirements of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under subpart 1300 of
Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"). The terms "mineral resource" and
"inferred mineral resource" used in this press release or in the
documents incorporated by reference herein are mining terms as
defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under guidelines set out in
the Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum Council. While the terms are substantially similar to the
same terms defined under S-K 1300 there are differences in the
definitions. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral
resources that the Company may report under NI 43-101 will be the
same as resource estimates prepared under the standards adopted
under S-K 1300. Because the Company is eligible for the
Multijurisdictional Disclosure System adopted by the SEC and
Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company is not required to
present disclosure regarding its mineral properties in compliance
with S-K 1300. Accordingly, certain information contained in this
press release concerning descriptions of mineralization and mineral
resources under these standards may not be comparable to similar
information made public by US companies subject to reporting and
disclosure requirements of the SEC.
