Sabina Gold & Silver Receives Revised Voting Recommendations From ISS and Glass Lewis

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. (“Sabina”) or (the “Company”) (SBB – TSX/ SGSVF - OTCQX) reports that that proxy advisors ISS and Glass Lewis have revised their voting recommendations for the Company’s upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders on June 6, 2019.

Upon review of the Company’s Annual Information Form (AIF), Glass Lewis and ISS recommended “Withhold” votes for certain members of the Audit Committee as the auditor fees for 2018 had been inadvertently excluded from the AIF.

This has since been rectified and a restated AIF has been filed, resulting in revised vote “For” recommendations from both Glass Lewis and ISS for the members of the Company’s Audit Committee.
