Include such information for any of the securities that are pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities, except that disclosure of standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements need not be included.**

In addition to the Arrangement Agreement, on December 18, 2025, in connection with the Arrangement, Highlander entered into customary voting support agreements with each of the directors and officers of the Issuer and Royal Gold, Inc. ("**Royal Gold**") and Equinox Gold Corp.
