CALGARY, AB, Dec. 7, 2021 /CNW/ - Storm Resources Ltd. (TSX: SRX) ("Storm" or the "Company") announces that one of the leading independent proxy advisors, Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), has recommended that shareholders of Storm vote FOR a special resolution approving the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between Storm and Canadian Natural Resources Limited ("CNRL") pursuant to which shareholders will receive $6.28 for each common share of Storm they hold at the upcoming special meeting (the "Meeting") to be held on December 15, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time).
In reaching its recommendation, ISS noted:"…[T]he consideration represents an all-time high share price for the company as well as a premium of 10 percent to the company 10-day VWAP on the unaffected date. The company appears to have conducted a reasonable transaction process as negotiations were conducted at arm's length and the proposed offer was revised upward several times before arriving at a final purchase price of $6.28 per company share. Further, as disclosed by the company, the proposed transaction offers attractive value for company shareholders with the purchase price implying an enterprise value for the company of approximately $960 million including transaction related expenses and decommissioning obligations."
To further support its position, ISS also highlighted: (i) the 51.3% premium to the trading price two months prior to announcement, (ii) the immediate liquidity, (iii) the certainty of the all-cash structure and (iv) the fairness opinion provided by Stifel FirstEnergy, who acted as exclusive financial advisor to Storm in connection with the Arrangement.
As an independent proxy advisory firm, ISS has approximately 3,100 clients including many of the world's leading institutional investors who rely on ISS' objective and impartial analysis to make important voting decisions.
Storm's board of directors (the "Board") has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Storm shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement at the upcoming Meeting. The Board and executive officers have agreed to support the transaction and to vote in favour of the Arrangement.
Under the Arrangement which was announced November 9th, CNRL has proposed to acquire, by way of court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), all of Storm's issued and outstanding common shares for cash consideration of CAD $6.28 per common share. The benefits of the transaction to Storm Shareholders include:
Stifel FirstEnergy has provided an opinion to the Board that, as at the date of the Arrangement Agreement, the consideration to be received by Storm shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Storm shareholders.
In light of public health guidelines related to COVID-19 that continue to restrict indoor gatherings, the Company has decided to host the Meeting solely by means of remote communication. All shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote prior to the Meeting by proxy, as in-person voting at the time of the Meeting will not be possible.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond Storm's control. Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions which are typical for transactions of this nature.
