Vox Announces Record Preliminary 2021 Revenue, Application For Nasdaq Listing And Corporate Update

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2022 / Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX.V:VOX) ("Vox" or the "Company"), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, is pleased to provide a number of corporate updates to its shareholders.

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: "We are pleased to share a number of exciting developments with Vox shareholders, including a potential secondary listing of Vox common shares on the Nasdaq and record preliminary 2021 annual revenue. The Company has grown tremendously since its initial public listing in May 2020 and is embarking on its next chapter of growth via a secondary listing. We expect enhanced trading liquidity in the US market will be a key step for Vox to continue delivering on its differentiated strategy of exponential growth and sector-leading returns on capital invested."

Q4 and Annual 2021 Preliminary Record Revenue

The Company is pleased to announce that it has realized preliminary quarterly royalty revenue of C$728,000 (US$574,200)(1) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021. The Company is also pleased to report that its preliminary annual royalty revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was C$4,584,000 (US$3,651,700)(1), a preliminary revenue record in the Company's 8 year history. Noting the Company's original 2021 revenue forecast of C$1,700,000 - C$2,500,000 and its subsequent increase to C$4,000,000 - C$5,000,000 on July 27, 2021, Vox management is pleased to deliver on its revenue forecasts as anticipated.

Application for NASDAQ Listing

The Company is pleased to announce that it has submitted an initial application to list its common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") in order to support the Company's ongoing capital markets and liquidity enhancement initiatives.

Pursuing a Nasdaq listing provides the Company with further opportunities to broaden its institutional and retail investor base and enhance the Company's visibility. Vox anticipates that a secondary listing will provide further exposure to the US trading and investor market and ultimately improve the Company's overall profile and enhance shareholder value. Analysis conducted by Vox management and its financial advisors suggests companies with secondary listings on US main board exchanges have historically resulted in improved trading liquidity for other small and medium- cap royalty companies.

The listing of Vox's common shares on Nasdaq remains subject to satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to, the declaration of effectiveness of the Company's 40-F Registration Statement registering its common shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company has already completed the process to ensure its common shares are eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (DTC).

Vox's common shares will continue to trade on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "VOXCF" until Nasdaq approval and subsequent commencement of trading. Vox will also continue to maintain the listing of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "VOX".

Appointment of Auditors

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as its independent registered public accounting firm effective March 9, 2022. E&Y will conduct the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which will support the anticipated listing of Vox's common shares on the Nasdaq. Following an evaluation process conducted by the Company and its Board of Directors, it was determined that appointing E&Y would permit the Company to pursue registration with the SEC and ultimately a secondary listing on the Nasdaq on a preferred timeline.

The Company's decision to change its auditor was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditor scope or procedure.

Option Grants

As part of its ordinary course annual management performance reviews, the Company has granted an aggregate of 263,548 restricted share units ("RSUs") to directors, officers and employees of Vox. The RSUs vest in equal parts on each of September 9, 2022, March 9, 2023, September 9, 2023, and March 9, 2024. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one common share of the Company. The Company has reserved up to 263,548 common shares for issuance on the exercise of the RSUs.

The Company has also granted an aggregate of 804,158 stock options to officers and employees of Vox. The stock options have an exercise price of C$4.16 per share, a five-year term from the date of grant and vest in equal parts on each of September 9, 2022, March 9, 2023, September 9, 2023, and March 9, 2024. The Company has reserved up to 804,158 common shares for issuance on the exercise of the stock options.
