As of 2025, I've got over 10 years of researching companies. In total, throughout my investing life, I estimate that I researched (in depth) well over 1000 companies, from commodities like oil, natural gas, gold and copper to tech like Google or Nokia and many emerging market stocks, which I believe could help me provide useful content for readers.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm Gold Royalties", "Sandstorm" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL) today announced that, further to the Company's press release dated May 12, 2025, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.

Core Viewpoint - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. is addressing voting recommendations from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) that miscalculated parameters related to proposed amendments to the Company's share-based compensation program, aiming to clarify and ensure accurate interpretation of these changes [1][2]. Summary by Sections Shareholder Proposals - ISS has recommended voting against three management proposals concerning the Company's Stock Option Plan and Restricted Share Plan, which were intended to align executive compensation with shareholder interests [2]. - The Company believes ISS's recommendations stem from a semantic misinterpretation of the proposed maximum limit of shares under the Share Plans [2].

Approval and Recommendations - The Toronto Stock Exchange and the Company's Board of Directors have conditionally approved the Clarifying Amendments, which are considered housekeeping in nature, thus not requiring shareholder approval at the upcoming Meeting [4]. - The Company advises shareholders to refer to the revised Share Plans filed on SEDAR+ for all matters related to the Share Plans and to disregard the versions in the Information Circular [4]. Additional Information - Shareholders can access the Information Circular and amended Share Plans through SEDAR+ or by contacting Investor Relations [5]. - Sandstorm Gold Royalties is a precious metals-focused royalty company with a portfolio of approximately 230 royalties, aiming to grow its low-cost production profile through additional acquisitions [7].
