TSX-V: JLR
JIULIAN RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V: JLR) (“Jiulian” or the “Company“) announces that its Board of Directors has approved an amendment to its stock option plan subject to the approval by the shareholders of the Company at the annual general meeting of shareholder to be held later this year (the “AGM”) and upon receipt of final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).
The Company proposes to replace its current 10% fixed plan (the “Prior Plan”) with a rolling 10% stock option plan (the “2020 Option Plan”). Under the 2020 Option Plan, the Company may grant options to acquire common shares of the Company equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares from time to time subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the Exchange and applicable securities laws.
Current options outstanding to purchase common shares of the Company granted prior to the amendment will continue to be exercisable and will be governed by and subject to the terms of the 2020 Option Plan.
Pursuant to the 2020 Option Plan, the Company has granted to certain directors of the Company options to purchase an aggregate 300,000 common shares at a purchase price of $0.05 for a period of five years (“New Options”). To the extend that the number of New Options granted exceed the number of options permitted under the Prior Plan, the New Options are subject to Exchange Approval and Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as such term defined in the policies of the Exchange) and will be presented for approval at the Company’s upcoming AGM.
A copy of the proposed 2020 Option Plan will be available from the Corporate Secretary of the Company upon request and will be included in the Company’s information circular to be filed on SEDAR, at www.sedar.com for the upcoming AGM.
The Company wishes to announce the appointment of Douglas Meirelles as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Meirelles was recently appointed as director to the Company (news release April 8, 2020) and will now assume the day to day operations of Jiiulian.

The Company wishes to thank Charlie Cheng for his tenure and the Company’s success to date. Mr. Cheng will remain a director of the Company.
