Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, March 31, 2026 /CNW/ - Pasofino Gold Limited (TSXV: VEIN) (OTCQB: EFRGF) (FSE: N07A) ("Pasofino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the special meeting (the "Meeting") of the Company's shareholders (the "Company Shareholders"), optionholders ("Company Optionholders") and warrantholders ("Company Warrantholders" and together with Company Shareholders and Company Optionholders, "Company Securityholders") held earlier today. At the Meeting, the Company Securityholders overwhelmingly voted in favour of the special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution") approving the previously announced statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

The purpose of the Arrangement is to effect, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions precedent, the acquisition by Mansa Resources Limited ("Mansa"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary 1574136 B.C. LTD. (the "Purchaser"), of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pasofino ("Shares") not already owned by Mansa and its affiliates for C$0.90 in cash per Share, all in accordance with the terms of the arrangement agreement dated January 26, 2026, as amended on February 23, 2026, among the Company, Mansa and the Purchaser (as it may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, the "Arrangement Agreement").

The Arrangement Resolution was approved by: (i) 99.95% of the votes cast by the Company Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, (ii) 99.96% of the votes cast by the Company Securityholders, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, and (iii) 99.86% of the votes cast by the Company Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding votes attached to the Shares held by Mansa and any other persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Arrangement Resolution was required to be approved by (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the Company Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; (ii) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the Company Securityholders, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Company Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding votes attached to Shares required to be excluded pursuant to MI 61-101. The report of voting results will be available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Arrangement remains subject to final approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court"). The Company intends to seek a final order of the Court approving the Arrangement, which is expected to be heard during the week of April 7, 2026 at the courthouse located at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver B.C. or in such other place as the Court may determine. Assuming all other closing conditions under the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied, it is expected that the Arrangement will be completed shortly thereafter. Assuming completion of the Arrangement, Mansa will indirectly hold 100% of the outstanding Shares and intends to cause the Shares to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and to cause Pasofino to apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws, and to otherwise terminate Pasofino's public reporting requirements. Further information about the Arrangement can be found in the Company's management information circular dated February 25, 2026 for the Meeting (the "Circular"), which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at https://www.pasofinogold.com/.
