Effective immediately, and in advance of the Meeting, Mr. Borshoff has been appointed as Interim President of the Company, and will be actively involved in implementing the Company's strategy, supporting day-to-day management.Mr. Borshoff is a highly regarded leader in the global uranium industry, with an unrivalled track record of creating exceptional shareholder value, exemplified by his leadership at Paladin Energy Limited ("Paladin") and Deep Yellow Limited ("Deep Yellow"). One of the world's most experienced uranium mining executives, Mr. Borshoff has spent more than 50 years building uranium companies from exploration through development to production, creating successful mining operations and earning global recognition for achievements that have helped shape the modern uranium industry.In 1993, Mr. Borshoff founded Paladin, which he grew from a junior explorer into a multi-mine AUD$5B uranium producer. Mr. Borshoff led the team that completed the drill out, feasibility studies, financing, construction, commissioning and safe operation of Langer Heinrich and Kayelekera, the first two new conventional uranium mines built in the world in the last 20 years. In late 2016, Mr. Borshoff was appointed as Managing Director/CEO of Deep Yellow. Over the subsequent nine years, he transformed Deep Yellow from a AUD$10.7M junior explorer to a AUD$2.3B development business with two long-life greenfield projects in Namibia and Australia (with the Australian project acquired via its 2022 merger with Vimy Resources Limited) culminating in the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study of the flagship Tumas Project in Namibia in 2024 and commencement of detailed engineering work in 2025 to facilitate the final investment decision. Shareholder and TSX ApprovalThe commencement of Mr. Borshoff as President/CEO and Executive Director is subject to shareholders approving the equity incentive component of Mr. Borshoff's consulting package, shareholders approving the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Shareholder Approvals") and receipt of TSX acceptance or approval for the proposed security-based compensation arrangements, grants or issuances ("TSX Approval"). No incentive securities will be issued unless and until the applicable Shareholder Approvals and TSX Approval have been obtained. The Company will seek the necessary Shareholder Approvals at the Meeting. The management information circular for the Meeting will include disclosure of the material terms of the proposed equity incentive component, including the number and type of securities issuable, vesting and exercise terms, expiry, any insider participation and any disinterested shareholder approval required under TSX rules.Until the Shareholder Approvals and TSX Approval and all other regulatory approvals are obtained, Mr. Borshoff will be working with the current Board on strategic direction and key operational priorities in his interim capacity, and no incentive securities will be issued. Other Board ChangesIf the Shareholder Approvals and TSX Approval are obtained, Mr. Borshoff is elected as a director at the Meeting and Mr. Borshoff commences on a permanent basis as the Company's President and CEO and Executive Director:Mr. Mark Frewin has agreed to step down as CEO at the Meeting; but will continue as a Non-Executive Director; and Messrs. Stefano Roma and Jorge Estepa have agreed to retire from the Board at the Meeting. Mr Estepa will continue as Corporate Secretary; and Mr. Martin Rowley will continue as Chairman of the Company and Mr. Pierfranco Malpenga and Mr. Knowledge Katti will continue as Directors. Strategic TransformationThe clear objective of the Board in engaging Mr. Borshoff, with his strong leadership and proven performance, his deep understanding of the uranium supply sector, together with his appreciation of the many challenges this sector currently faces, is to benefit from his expertise and his extensive experience, with the successes achieved with his previous endeavors in the uranium business. His approach will again employ a value creation strategy centered on asset optimization, M&A and building a proven team capable of converting vision into reality with effective execution. Asset OptimizationThe Norasa Uranium Project has potential for development but requires further targeted evaluation to become development ready. The Company will accelerate its efforts to move the Norasa Uranium Project forward so Forsys can be in a position to make development decisions that capture the potential value available from supplying into a highly constrained uranium market.Strategic AcquisitionsForsys intends to evaluate a range of opportunities across several jurisdictions to identify undervalued, high-potential uranium resources that could enhance Forsys' exposure to a strengthening uranium market and build a more diverse portfolio with growth opportunities.Name ChangeAs part of the reinvigoration of the Company, a name change for Forsys will be presented to shareholders for approval at the Meeting. The implementation of any name change, and any related change to the Company's trading symbols or security identifiers, will be subject to receipt of any required TSX and other regulatory approvals.Chairman of Forsys Mr. Martin Rowley commented: "Today's announcement is a pivotal moment for our Company. We are fortunate to have been able to secure the services of John Borshoff who brings significant experience and growth potential to our business. His refreshed strategic direction offers a clear vision for growth that we know John and the team have the ability to translate into disciplined execution.""Forsys has been endeavoring to strengthen the Company and its direction for some time in anticipation of benefiting its shareholders and stakeholders from the upsurge in nuclear energy demand that is currently taking place. This move to secure the services of a highly experienced and respected leader who has accomplished such notable achievements with the other uranium companies in which he has been involved fits in perfectly with the Board's objectives for a repositioning of the Company.""This appointment reflects the Board's strong belief that a renewed strategic direction is essential for us to capitalize on the opportunities available for uranium, drive improved business performance and position the Company to become a significant player within the global uranium sector. Mr. Borshoff's reputation and experience will play a key role in attracting the talent needed to build the Company into a significant player in the global uranium industry.""Subject to Mr Borshoff's appointment becoming formalized and continuing, Forsys can move forward with strong and experienced leadership, well-defined goals and a clear point of differentiation, positioning the Company to stand apart from its peers.""I strongly encourage shareholders to support all of the resolutions to be considered at the upcoming Meeting. These approvals are required to implement this key appointment and to align Mr. Borshoff package with shareholder outcomes. All directors of the Company intend to vote shares held or controlled by them in favour of all resolutions they are entitled to vote on."Mr. John Borshoff, Interim President and proposed incoming CEO and President commented: "I am delighted to be given the opportunity to lead another uranium company that I believe has significant unrealized potential. Forsys is undervalued compared to its peers, and having spent time evaluating opportunities, I see potential upside in both developing the Company's existing asset base and introducing other disciplined growth strategies through M&A." "We are in a period of a major (worldwide) energy transition, with increasing focus on energy security, reliability and affordability. Recent geopolitical instability, including disruption in oil and gas markets, has further exposed the energy vulnerability that exists. In my view, the asymmetric focus on renewables has exacerbated the energy problem. In terms of being able to satisfy the larger global energy equation, renewable energy has been oversold now a very poor second both in terms of expense and capability. As a consequence, the world is reassessing what it means and needs to have a secure, reliable energy system, contributing to the renewed interest in nuclear energy and strengthening long-term fundamentals for uranium demand.""In my view, the supply basis for both uranium and other energy sources will need to be revised if it is to eventually meet the accelerating electricity demand. All this has significant implications for uranium, which is entering into a fundamental supply deficit that will become larger in the mid-term unless the sector becomes more capable and introduces highly innovative practices to meet the expected unprecedented demand.""My ambition is to position Forsys at the forefront by establishing a multiple project portfolio to meet the demands of a sector that is facing anticipated supply challenges." "There is a tremendous opportunity to build on Forsys' existing asset base in Namibia and position the Company as a major, global developer and supplier of uranium in the modern nuclear era. I am excited and energized by the opportunity the Chairman has entrusted to me, and I look forward to working closely with the Company and stakeholders to realize this ambition."
