VANCOUVER, BC AND HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Reyna Gold Corp. (TSXV:REYG)(OTCQB:REYFG) ("Reyna Gold") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an arrangement agreement dated August 7, 2024, 2024 (the "Agreement") with Reyna Silver Corp. ("Reyna Silver"), pursuant to which Reyna Silver has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Reyna Gold (the "REYG Shares") by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Transaction").

Strategic Highlights and Benefits of the Transaction

• Represents an attractive opportunity for REYG Shareholders to own shares in a larger, more liquid publicly traded entity at an exchange ratio that implies a 48% premium to Reyna Gold's share price (based on each company's respective 20-day VWAP).

• Creates a larger-scale entity with increased access to capital to enable the financing of continuing exploration of Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold's combined exploration portfolio.

• Consolidates Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold's current joint option of the Gryphon Summit Project (defined below).

• Eliminates duplicate back end administrative and regulatory costs by eliminating one public issuer.

• The combined entity will be well capitalized to increase the value of its improved project portfolio, supported by its strong executive management team and Board of Directors.

The Transaction is an arm's length transaction and provides REYG Shareholders with a premium of approximately 48% based on each company's respective 20-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP"). The Transaction positions the combined entity of Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold to become a leading significant silver-lead-zinc-copper exploration company with an expanded portfolio of prospective base and precious metals assets in the United States and Mexico.

Under the terms of the Agreement, each holder of REYG Shares (a "REYG Shareholder" and, collectively, the "REYG Shareholders") will receive one (1) common share of Reyna Silver (a "RSLV Share") for every three (3) REYG Shares held (the "Consideration"). The value of the Consideration represents an approximate 48% premium to REYG Shareholders, based on the 20 day VWAP of the RSLV Shares and the REYG Shares as of August 2, 2024 on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). Upon completion of the Transaction, REYG Shareholders will hold approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding RSLV Shares and existing RSLV Shareholders will hold approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding RSLV Shares, excluding any shares issued in connection with the Debt Conversion (as defined below).

As part of the Transaction, all outstanding options of Reyna Gold will vest immediately and be exchanged for the number of options to purchase RSLV Shares based on the exchange ratio outlined in the Agreement.

In connection with the Transaction, Reyna Gold will assign and Reyna Silver will assume all of Reyna Gold's right, title, interest and obligations under the Property Option Agreement dated August 29, 2023 among Golden Gryphon USA Inc. (the "Gryphon Option Agreement"), Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold with respect to the Gryphon Summit Project.

In addition, it is expected that immediately prior to the Transaction, up to $117,000.00 in accrued amounts payable by Reyna Gold (including accrued amounts owing, directly or indirectly, to certain directors and officers of Reyna Gold for accrued directors' fees and management fees) will be converted (the "Debt Conversions") into REYG Shares at a price of $0.05 per REYG Share. Further, all change of control payments payable to officers of Reyna Gold under executive compensation agreements will be waived in connection with the Transaction.

Additional Details on the Transaction

Completion of the Transaction will, among other things, require the approval of: (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the REYG Shareholders; and (ii) if required, a simple majority of the votes cast by REYG Shareholders, excluding for this purpose the votes of "related parties" and "interested parties" and other votes required to be excluded under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, with all votes to occur at a special meeting of REYG Shareholders expected to take place in September 2024 (the "Reyna Gold Meeting"). No shareholder vote is required by RSLV Shareholders. The Agreement includes covenants typical for transactions of this nature, including non-solicitation covenants.

The Transaction is expected to close in September 2024, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of a number of conditions precedent, including, but not limited to receipt of all regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the TSXV, assignment of the Gryphon Option Agreement and completion of the Debt Conversions.

The Transaction has the full endorsement of both the boards of Reyna Gold and Reyna Silver upon the recommendation of a special committee of independent directors of each respective board with the mandate to evaluate the proposed transaction. Certain directors sit on the boards of both Reyna Silver and Reyna Gold and accordingly are not members of either special committee. The special committee of Reyna Gold has received advice from its advisors and has reviewed a fairness opinion from Evans & Evans, Inc., and has unanimously determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of Reyna Gold and will recommend that REYG Shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction.

Full details of the Transaction will be included in the management information circular (the "Circular") of Reyna Gold describing the matters to be considered at the Reyna Gold Meeting, which is expected to be mailed to the REYG Shareholders in August 2024. A copy of the Agreement is presently available, and a copy of the Circular will be made available following its mailing, on the SEDAR+ profile of Reyna Gold at www.sedarplus.ca.
