Montreal, Quebec, H3B 4A5 and at any continuation thereof after an adjournment.

 

The information contained herein is given as of May 26, 2008, except as otherwise stated.

SECTION I – VOTING INFORMATION

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

The enclosed proxy is being solicited by or on behalf of the management of the Corporation.  The mailing to shareholders of this Circular will be on or about June 6, 2008.  The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Corporation.  While most proxies will be solicited by mail only, regular employees of the Corporation may also solicit proxies by telephone or in person.  Such employees will receive no additional compensation for these services other than their regular salaries, but will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

 

The Corporation will provide proxy materials to brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries and will request that such materials be promptly forwarded to the beneficial owners of common shares registered in the names of such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries.  The Corporation will reimburse brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable charges and expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of common shares.

 

Voting Gammon Gold Common Shares

 

The Board of Directors of Gammon has fixed May 21, 2008 as the record date for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to receive Notice of the Meeting (the "Meeting Record Date").

 

The Corporation will prepare, no later than ten (10) days following the Meeting Record Date, a list of shareholders entitled to vote as of the Meeting Record Date, showing the number of common shares held by each such shareholder.  Each person named on the list of shareholders is entitled to one (1) vote for each common share held, except to the extent that: (i) the shareholder has transferred any common shares after the Meeting Record Date; and (ii) the transferee of those common shares produces properly endorsed Share Certificates or otherwise establishes ownership of those common shares and requests not later than ten (10) days before the date of the Meeting that the transferee's name be included on such list before the Meeting, in which case the transferee is entitled to vote those common shares at the Meeting.  Shareholders may also cast their vote electronically or by telephone by following the instructions on the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form.

Registered Shareholders

 

Registered shareholders are shareholders whose common shares are held in their own name and they will have received a proxy form in their own name.

 

Non-Registered/Beneficial Shareholders

 

Non-Registered/Beneficial shareholders are shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name, but rather in the name of a nominee - this could be a bank, trust company, securities broker or other financial institution (and is known as holding the common shares in "street form").

 

If you are a non-registered shareholder, there are two (2) ways you can vote your common shares held by your nominee.  Your nominee is required to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the Meeting in accordance with securities laws, and so you will receive, or will have already received from your nominee, a request for voting instructions or a proxy form for the number of common shares you hold.  Every nominee has its own mailing procedures and provides its own signing and return instructions.  Therefore, please follow them in order to make sure that your common shares are voted.

 

Alternatively, if you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, please insert your own name in the space provided on the "Request for Voting Instructions" or proxy form to appoint yourself as proxyholder and follow the signing and return instructions of your nominee.  Non-registered shareholders who appoint themselves as proxyholders should, at the Meeting, present themselves to a representative of Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

 

Appointment of Proxy Holders

 

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of Gammon.  A shareholder has the right to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and to act for and on behalf of such shareholder at the Meeting.  To exercise this right, the shareholder must either insert the name of the desired person in the blank space provided in the proxy and strike out the other names or submit another proper form of proxy and, in either case, deliver the completed proxy by post or other form of delivery to Gammon at its registered office at 400-1701 Hollis Street, PO Box 2067, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2Z1, or to the transfer agent for the common shares, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2YI, in either case to be received not later than the close of business on June 27, 2008 or, in the event of an adjournment, not later than two (2) business days preceding the day to which th e Meeting is adjourned.

 

All common shares represented by a properly executed and deposited proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder as specified thereon.

 

If you have appointed a person who was designated by Gammon to vote on your behalf as provided in the enclosed form of proxy and you do not provide any instructions concerning any matter identified in the Notice of Meeting, the common shares represented by such proxy will be voted:

 

(1)

FOR the election of the persons nominated for election as directors of Gammon;

 

(2)

(3)

Revocability of Proxies

 

A shareholder executing the enclosed form of proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised.  Relevant provisions of the Companies Act (Quebec) (the "QCA") provide that a shareholder may revoke a proxy by depositing an instrument in writing, executed by the shareholder or by an attorney authorized in writing, at, or by transmitting, by telephonic or electronic means or any other manner permitted by law, a revocation to, the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or by depositing such instrument with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner permitted by law.

Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan

 

On May 26, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the following amendments to the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan for directors, officers, employees and consultants (the “Stock Option Plan”):

 

a)

to increase the maximum number of common shares reserved for grants of stock options under the Stock Option Plan, since its inception, by 1,100,000 common shares from 22,500,000 to 23,600,000 common shares to allow for stock options which have been allocated to new management and personnel in the field;

 

b)

to update the formula for determining the market price of the common shares, which is used to determine the minimum permissible exercise price for granted under the Stock Option Plan, to the formula consistent with the current practice of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), namely that market price will be the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date upon which the stock option is granted as reported by the TSX, or, if the common shares are not listed on the TSX, on such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the common shares are listed or quoted, as the case may be;

 

c)

to increase the maximum period during which stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be exercised from five (5) years to seven (7) years;

 

d)

to specify that stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan must vest not less frequently than over a period of not less than four (4) years, in equal instalments on each anniversary of the date of grant;

 

7

 


 

e)

to amend the provisions dealing with the expiry of options for persons who cease to be directors, officers or employees of the Corporation, such that: (i) if an optionee is dismissed for cause, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of dismissal; (ii) if an optionee leaves the Corporation (and its subsidiaries) on his own accord, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of departure; (iii) if an optionee is dismissed without cause, all of his options will vest immediately and will expire three (3) months after the date of dismissal; (iv) if an optionee dies, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of death; and (v) if an optionee ceases to work for the Corporation (or its subsidiaries) by reason of permanent disabilit y or retirement under any retirement plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of deemed termination of employment, but if the optionee should die during that three (3) month period, then his vested options will be extended for three (3) month following the date of death;

 

f)

to amend the amendment provisions of the Stock Option Plan so that, subject to applicable regulatory approval (including approval by the TSX), the Board of Directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Stock Option Plan (or any option granted thereunder) or may terminate the Stock Option Plan (or any option granted thereunder) at any time provided, however, that no such action may in any manner adversely affect an optionee’s rights under any outstanding stock option unless the optionee consents to such an amendment, and that any amendment which requires shareholder approval under the rules and policies of the principal stock exchange on which the common shares are listed and trading will be subject to such shareholder approval; and

 

g)

to update certain statutory references and defined terms (including “Consultant” and “Subsidiary”) intended to mirror the provisions of applicable laws, regulations, rules and policies.

 

The purpose of the foregoing proposed amendments is to allow the Corporation to continue to use stock options as an incentive for directors, officers, employees and consultants, which it cannot do at present because there are only 2,200 stock options available for granting under the Stock Option Plan.  Additional options are required as a cost-effective aid to staff retention, particularly in Mexico where there is high turnover due to the competitive nature of the industry.  Under the existing (unamended) Stock Option Plan, 16,247,800 stock options have been granted and exercised; 389,500 stock options have been granted and expired; 6,250,000 stock options have been granted but not exercised; and 2,200 stock options remain available for future granting.  Since July 2007, the Board of Directors has granted, subject to shareholder approval, 1,087,000 additional stock options in excess of the maximum permitted under the existing Stock Option Plan.  These new opti ons will not be exercisable unless and until the shareholders of the Corporation approve the foregoing proposed amendments to the Stock Option Plan.  If the shareholders do not approve such amendments, the additional stock options will be cancelled.  The terms of the additional stock options are set out in the following table.

The following table sets out the number of stock options granted and exercised, granted and expired, granted and not exercised, and available for granting under the amended Stock Option Plan, assuming that the foregoing amendments to the Stock Option Plan are approved by the shareholders.

The amendments are also intended to make the Stock Option Plan conform more closely to current practice and the rules of the TSX (see the provisions on determining exercise price, duration of options, vesting and the expiry of options held by persons leaving the Corporation).  

 

With respect to the amendment provisions of the plan, the purpose of the proposed amendment is to make it clear that the Board of Directors can change any provision of the Stock Option Plan or of a stock option granted under the Stock Option Plan, or terminate the Stock Option Plan, except that: (i) where such action may in any manner adversely affect an optionee’s rights under any outstanding stock option, such action will require such optionee’s consents; and (ii) where the rules and policies of the principal stock exchange on which the common shares are listed and trading require shareholder approval for such action, such action may not be taken without shareholder approval. Previously, the Stock Option Plan allowed the Board of Directors to make any amendment except where it would adversely affect an optionee’s rights under any outstanding stock option, without specifying when shareholder approval would be required.  The rules and policies of the TS X currently require shareholder approval for (i) any change to the amendment provisions of the Stock Option Plan, (ii) any change to the maximum number of common shares which may be reserved under the Stock Option Plan, (iii) a reduction in the exercise price of stock options granted to an insider of the Corporation, and (iv) an extension of the term of stock options granted to an insider of the Corporation.  All other changes do not require shareholder approval.  For example, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and without limitation, make any of the following changes without shareholder approval:

 

a)

minor changes of a "house-keeping nature";

 

b)

amending the terms of stock options granted under the Plan, including the duration of the options (provided that such duration may not exceed ten years from the date the option is granted, and provided such option is not held by an insider of the Corporation), vesting period, exercise method and frequency, exercise price (provided that such option is not held by an insider of the Corporation) and method of determining the exercise price, assignability and effect of termination of a participant’s directorship, office, employment or consultancy relationship;

 

9

 


 

c)

changing the class of participants eligible to participate under the Stock Option Plan;

 

d)

advancing the date on which any option may be exercised or extending the expiration date of any option, provided that the period during which an option is exercisable does not exceed ten years from the date the option is granted;

 

e)

changing the terms and conditions of any financial assistance which may be provided by the Corporation to participants to facilitate the purchase of common shares under the Stock Option Plan; and

 

f)

adding a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, whether or not providing for a full deduction of the number of underlying common shares from the Stock Option Plan reserve.

 

The proposed amendments to the Stock Option Plan are subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation at the Annual and Special Meeting.  The full text of the Stock Option Plan, reflecting the proposed amendments, as well as the proposed ordinary resolution approving the amendments to the Stock Option Plan are attached to the Management Information Circular as Schedules “B” and “C”, respectively.

 

Approval of Future Amendment to the Stock Option Plan

 

The Board of Directors also proposed that, if the foregoing amendments to the Stock Option Plan are approved by the shareholders of the Corporation, the Stock Option Plan be amended again, effective as of January 1, 2009, to increase the maximum number of common shares reserved for grants of stock options under the Stock Option Plan, since its inception, by an additional 1,400,000 common shares from 23,600,000 to 25,000,000 common shares.  This amendment would allow for a second allocation of 1,400,000 stock options in 2009 and 2010 to current or prospective members of the senior leadership team (these are members of management below the level of the chief officers and above the level of supervisors) and head office/field staff (anyone from the level of supervisor down) in accordance with the incentive policy adopted by the Board of Directors on May 5, 2008.  The Senior Executives (CEO, COO, CFO and President & Chairman) have not received any options in the 2008 all ocation being presented for approval by shareholders. The Board of Directors has not yet allocated such additional options to specific persons or determined their terms, but the allocation and the terms will be determined in accordance with the Stock Option Plan and the incentive policy.

 

The following table sets out the number of stock options granted and exercised, granted and expired, granted and not exercised, and available for granting under the amended Stock Option Plan, assuming that the foregoing amendments to the Stock Option Plan are approved by the shareholders.

 

Options granted since inception of the Stock Option Plan and either exercised or outstanding

The foregoing proposed amendment is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation at the Annual and Special Meeting, but if approved will not become effective until January 1, 2009.  The full text of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the amendment to the Stock Option Plan in 2009 is attached to the Management Information Circular as Schedule “D”.

Confirmation of Amendment to the General By-Law of the Corporation

 

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has amended the general By-Law of the Corporation to correct an error in it.  The Articles of the Corporation provide that the Corporation shall have a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of nine (9) directors.  The general By-Law of the Corporation currently provides that the Corporation shall have a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of eleven (11) directors.  Since the Articles of the Corporation take precedence over the general By-Law, the general By-Law will need to be amended to conform to the Articles (the “By-Law Amendment”).  At the meeting, shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution confirming the By-Law Amendment.

 

The full text of the By-Law Amendment and the proposed ordinary resolution confirming the By-Law Amendment are attached to this Management Information Circular as Schedules “E” and “F”, respectively.

 

 

SECTION III – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION

 

Except as disclosed herein, the Company has no other arrangements, standard or otherwise, pursuant to which Directors are compensated by the Company or its subsidiaries for their services in their capacity as Directors, or for cormmittee participation, involvement in special assignments or for services as a consultant or expert during the most recentIy completed financial year or subsequently, up to and including the date of this Information Circular.

 

Compensation of the Directors

 

Retainers and Meeting Participation Fees

 

The role of the Board of Directors has changed considerably in recent years. Boards today have greater responsibility and strategic involvement in organizations and are experiencing increased demands from shareholders and institutional investors. Their exposure to risk and associated liability issues have also increased. As a result of these increased demands and responsibilities, the Corporation has undertaken a review to provide an assessment of the Corporation's Board compensation practices and provide comparative Board compensation practices with peer group companies. While the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee has not completed its review, it is expected that, based on trends in comparative director compensation data for similarly sized companies within the mining industry, it will recommend that the annual retainers for directorships and committee chairmanships be increased for 2008.

 

Directors of the Corporation who were not employees of the Corporation were remunerated for services provided during the year ended December 31, 2007 in the following aggregate amounts:

   
• Annual fees $ nil
• Annual fees paid to the Chair of any committee of the Board of Directors $ nil
• Attendance fees, per meeting of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee  
   (Independent Directors Only) $750
• Attendance fees, per meeting for all other Committees of the Board of Directors  
   (Independent Directors Only) $500

Assumes that (i) the maximum number of common shares that can be issued under the Stock Option Plan is 22,500,000.

 

As of May 5, 2008, under the existing (unamended) Stock Option Plan, 16,247,800 stock options have been granted and exercised, 389,500 stock options have been granted and expired, 6,250,000 stock options have been granted but not exercised, and 2,200 stock options remain available for future granting.

 

On May 5, 2008, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Stock Option Plan to increase the maximum number of common shares reserved for grants of stock options under the Stock Option Plan, since its inception, by 1,100,000 common shares from 22,500,000 to 23,600,000 common shares.  Since July 2007, the Corporation has also granted, subject to shareholder approval, a total of 1,087,000 new stock options in excess of the maximum permitted under the existing Stock Option Plan.  See “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan”.  If such amendments and grants are approved by the shareholders, there will be a maximum of 23,600,000 common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan since its inception, of which 16,247,800 will have been issued under options already granted and exercised, 7,337,000 will be res erved for issuance under stock options which have been granted but not yet exercised, 15,200 will remain available for options yet to be granted, and the weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options will be $7.20.

The following table sets forth details with respect to the total number of common shares issuable under the Corporation’s various security-based compensation arrangements.

Notes:

Calculated on the basis of 118,326,068 common shares outstanding as of May 21, 2008.

 

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain superior employees, to provide a strong incentive for employees and consultants to put forth maximum effort for the continued success and growth of the Corporation and, in combination with these goals, to encourage equity ownership in the Corporation by its employees and consultants.

 

The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  The principal terms of the Stock Option Plan are as follows:

 

a)

Directors, officers, employees and consultants are eligible for the grant of stock options under the Stock Option Plan.

 

b)

The maximum number of common shares which may be issued under the Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 22,500,000, subject to adjustment.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan”, this maximum will be increased to 23,600,000 common shares.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Future Amendment to the Stock Option Plan”, this maximum will again be increased to 25,000,000 common shares effective as of January 1, 2009. The maximum number of common shares with respect to which grants may be made under the Stock Option Plan and any other security based compenstion arrangements to any one (1) optionee or his or their associates (as that term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares.  The maximum number of common shares issuable to insiders (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Corporation and their associates under the Stock Option Plan and other security based compensation arrangements shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares.  The maximum number of common shares issued to insiders of the Corporation and their associates under the Stock Option Plan within any one (1) year period, when taken together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares for all such insiders and associates in the aggregate and, in the case of any one (1) insider and his or her associates, shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

 

19

 


 

c)

The exercise price of the stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be not less than the market value of the common shares on the date of grant.  The market price of the common shares means the closing board lot sale price of the common shares on the TSX on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant and, if there was not a board lot sale on the TSX on such date, then the last board lot sale prior thereto.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan”, the market price of the common shares will be defined as the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date upon which the stock option is granted as reported by the TSX, or, if the common shares are not listed on the TSX, on such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the common shares are listed or quot ed, as the case may be.

 

d)

Stock options are exercisable for a maximum period of five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter period as may be determined at the time of the grant.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan”, the maximum period will be increased to seven (7) years.

 

e)

Stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not assignable.

 

f)

Stock options terminate thirty (30) days after the participant is no longer an employee, consultant, officer or director of the Corporation, except where the participant is an employee who is dismissed for cause, whereupon the options terminate immediately, and where the participant is retired, permanently disabled or deceased, whereupon the options terminate ninety (90) days after the date of such event.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan” this will be changed as follows: (i) if an optionee is dismissed for cause, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of dismissal; (ii) if an optionee leaves the Corporation (and its subsidiaries) on his own accord, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of departure; (iii) if an optionee is dismissed without cause, all of his options will vest immediately and will expire three (3) months after the date of dismissal; (iv) if an optionee dies, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of death; and (v) if an optionee ceases to work for the Corporation (or its subsidiaries) by reason of permanent disability or retirement under any retirement plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary, all of his unvested options will be terminated immediately, while his vested options will expire three (3) months after the date of deemed termination of employment, but if the optionee should die during that three (3) month period, then his vested options will be extended for three (3) month following the date of death.

 

g)

Stock options will vest (become exercisable) at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors determines at the time of grant.  Typically, stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan have vesting requirements which consist of one year of service from the date of grant to be eligible to exercise one-half of the stock options, and two years of service from the date of grant to be eligible to exercise the remaining one-half of the stock options.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan”, stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan after the amendments may not vest at a rate faster than over a four (4) year period from the date of grant, in equal instalments on each anniversary of the date of grant.

 

h)

The Board of Directors has the discretion to provide financial assistance for the purchase of common shares on the exercise of stock options.  Any loans so provided are on a full recourse basis and the common shares issued pursuant to any such exercise are secured for repayment of the financial assistance so provided.

 

i)

The number of common shares issuable on the exercise of stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan and the exercise price of such stock options may be proportionately changed in the event of a subdivision, redivision, consolidation, reclassification or change of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common shares, or any other capital reorganization, or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity or the sale of the properties and assets of the Corporation as or substantially as an entirety to any other entity.

 

20

 


 

j)

Subject to applicable regulatory approval (including approval by the TSX), the Board of Directors may from time to time amend or revise any of the terms of the Stock Option Plan (or any option granted thereunder) or may terminate the Stock Option Plan (or any option granted thereunder) at any time provided, however, that no such action may in any manner adversely affect an optionee’s rights under any outstanding stock option unless the optionee consents to such an amendment.  Under the amendments described in “Section II – Business of the Meeting – Approval of Amendments to the Stock Option Plan”, the Stock Option Plan will be clarified to state that any amendment which requires shareholder approval under the rules and policies of the principal stock exchange on which the common shares are listed and trading will be subject to such shareholder approval.  The rules and policies of the TSX currently require shareholder approval for (i) any change to the amendment provisions of the Stock Option Plan, (ii) any change to the maximum number of common shares which may be reserved under the Stock Option Plan, (iii) a reduction in the exercise price of stock options granted to an insider of the Corporation, and (iv) an extension of the term of stock options granted to an insider of the Corporation.

 

Interests of Management and Others in Material Transactions

 

As of December 31, 2007, no director or executive officer of the Corporation, no security holder who is known to the Corporation to own of record or beneficially hold more than 10% of common shares and no associate or affiliate of any such director, executive officer or security holder has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, except as disclosed herein.

 

Report on Executive Compensation

 

The Compensation Committee and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors considers compensation matters as and when required.  The Compensation Committee reviews and submits recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the Corporation's executive compensation policies and the compensation paid to the Corporation's executive officers.  The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee reviews and submits recommendations to the Board of Directors for the compensation of the Directors of the Board.  The Compensation Committee also reviews the design and competitiveness of the Corporation's compensation and benefit programs generally and has the authority to recommend to the Board of Directors for its approval amendments to, and grants pursuant to, such programs.

 

Composition of the Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee is composed of Frank Conte (Chair), Kent Noseworthy, Canek Rangel.  Messrs. Conte, Noseworthy and Rangel are unrelated and independent members of the Board of Directors and therefore all of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent of management of the Corporation.

 

Composition of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee

 

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Kent Noseworthy (Chair), Frank Conte and Canek Rangel.  All members of the Committee are considered independent members of the Board of Directors as such term is defined by the AMEX and the TSX, and are independent of management of the Corporation.

Compensation Philosophy

 

The Corporation's executive compensation policy is designed to provide for the enhancement of shareholder value, the successful implementation of the Corporation's business plans and a link between executive compensation and the financial performance of the Corporation.

 

The objectives of the Corporation's executive compensation policy are to:

 

(a)

attract, retain and motivate executives critical to the success of the Corporation;

 

(b)

provide fair, competitive and cost effective compensation programs to its executives;

 

(c)

link the interests of management with those of the shareholders; and

 

(d)

provide rewards for outstanding corporate and individual performance.

 

The Compensation Committee reviews on an annual basis the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package for each Executive Officer.   The Compensation Committee then submits to the Board of Directors recommendations with respect to the basic salary, bonus and participation in long-term incentive plans for each Executive Officer.

 

Basic Salary

 

In determining the basic salary of an Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee places equal weight on the following factors:

 

(a)

the particular responsibilities related to the position;

 

(b)

salaries paid by comparable businesses;

 

(c)

the experience level of the executive officer; and

 

(d)

his or her overall performance.

 

During the most recently completed financial year, the Corporation has not engaged any external compensation consultants or advisors.

 

Bonus Payments

 

Executive Officers are eligible for annual cash bonuses, after taking into account and giving equal weight to, financial performance, attainment of certain corporate objectives and individual performance committments.

 

In taking into account the financial performance aspect, it is recognized that executive officers cannot control certain factors, such as interest rates and the international market for gold and industrial minerals produced by the Corporation.  When applying the financial performance criteria, the Compensation Committee considers factors over which the executive officers can exercise control, such as meeting budget targets established by the Board of Directors at the beginning of each year, controlling costs, taking successful advantage of business opportunities and enhancing the competitive and business prospects of the Corporation.  There are no pre-established payout ranges.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2007, the Corporation had bonuses payable to officers in the amount of $941,281.10 (December 31, 2006 - $1,207,021.50); directors and officers of the Corporation are entitled to hold management incentive stock options.  

 

 

22

 


 

Long-Term Incentives

 

The Corporation maintains a Stock Option Plan, the "Stock Option Plan", which has been approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.  

 

During the period of January 1, 2007 to May 26, 2008, 2,200,000 options were granted to certain persons of the Corporation who were newly appointed to the positions of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer during that time period.  These options were granted as an inducement to him to join the Corporation, and as such, under the TSX Company Manual, do not require shareholder approval.  As a result of changes to the Executive structure during that period, 966,667 of these Employment Inducement Options have been cancelled and only 1,233,333 remain available for exercise.  The exercise prices of these options were calculated by taking the Volume Weighted Agerage Price for the 5 trading days preceding the date of the grant of the options.

Notes:


(1)

To be considered independent, a member of the Board of Directors must not have any direct or indirect “material relationship” with the Corporation.  A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board of Directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.  In addition, in order to be considered an member independent of the Board of Directors, the member must meet the AMEX definition of independence, which is comparable to the foregoing definition.

 

(2)

The Board of Directors meets at least once each calendar quarter and following the annual meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation.  The frequency of the meetings and the nature of the meeting agendas are dependent upon the nature of the business and affairs which the Corporation faces from time to time.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Board of Directors met nine (9) times.

 

(3)

Rene Marion joined the Board until March 27, 2008, therefore there was no attendance in 2007.

 

(4)

Luis Chavez did not join the Board until July 16, 2007, therefore only 33% of the meetings were attended in 2007.

 

(5)

Andre Falzon joined the Board until March 27, 2008, therefore there was no attendance in 2007.

 

A majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation is independent.  Of the seven (7) directors of the Corporation, four (4) are independent and three (3) are not independent.  To facilitate the functioning of the Board of Directors independently of management, the following structures and processes are in place:

  • when appropriate, members of management, are not present for the discussion and determination of certain matters at meetings of the Board of Directors.  During the most recently completed financial year, one meeting of the independent directors was held, and it is the Corporation’s policy to hold at least one (1) meeting of the independent board of directors during each financial year;
     

  • under the by-laws of the Corporation, any two directors may call a meeting of the Board of Directors;
     

  • the Audit Committee, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee consist entirely of independent directors who meet independent of management directors; and
     

  • in addition to the above standing Committees of the Board of Directors, independent committees are appointed from time to time, when appropriate.

 

25


The Corporation does not have an independent chairperson.  Mr. Fred George is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the President of the Corporation.  The Board of Directors believes that there are substantial benefits to the Corporation with Mr. George serving in both of those positions given the history and knowledge Mr. George has of the Corporation’s business and affairs, and the entrepreneurial nature of the Corporation.  


Mandate of the Board of Directors


The duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors are:

  • to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation; and
     

  • to act with a view towards the best interests of the Corporation.

In discharging its mandate, the Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight and review of the development of, among other things, the following matters:

  • the strategic planning process of the Corporation;
     

  • identifying the principal risks of the Corporation’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;
     

  • succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management;
     

  • a communications policy for the Corporation to facilitate communications with investors and other interested parties; and
     

  • the integrity of the Corporation’s internal control and management information systems.

 

The Board of Directors also has the mandate to assess the effectiveness of the Board of Directors as a whole, its Committees and the contribution of individual directors.


Position Descriptions


The board of directors of the Corporation has developed written position descriptions for the Chairman, the Chairman of each Board Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Chief Financial Officer.


Orientation and Continuing Education


New directors receive an orientation on the role of the Board, its Committees and its directors, and the nature and operation of the issuer’s business, which consists of the following:

  • an orientation session with senior officers to overview the Corporation’s business and affairs;
     

  • an orientation session with the lead director and the Chairperson of each standing Committee;
     

  • an orientation session with legal counsel and the representatives of the Corporation’s auditors; and
     

  • periodic site visits and meetings with operating personnel.

Continuing education is provided to directors through provision of literature regarding current developments and annual seminars on corporate governance developments.  The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation takes primary responsibility for the orientation and continuing education of directors and officers.

 

26


 

Ethical Business Conduct


The Board of Directors of the Corporation has adopted a written code for the directors, officer, employees and consultants of the Corporation. The Corporate Code of Business Conduct & Ethics is available on the Company’s website (www.gammongold.com).  Gammon Gold’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Corporation’s Code of Business Conduct & Ethics.  There have been no departures from the Corporation’s Code of Business Conduct & Ethics during the year ended December 31, 2007.  The Gammon Gold Board of Directors reviews and approves updates to the Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which is redistributed to directors, officers, employees and consutlants for signing on an annual basis.


In addition to those matters which, by law, must be approved by the Board of Directors, the approval of the Board is also required for:

  • the Corporation’s annual business plan and budget;
     

  • major acquisitions or dispositions by the Corporation; and
     

  • transactions which are outside of the Corporation’s existing business.

To ensure the directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in which a director or officer has a material interest, all such matters are considered and approved by the independent directors.


The Corporation believes that it has adopted corporate governance procedures and policies which encourage ethical behaviour by the Corporation’s directors, officers and employees.


Expectations of Management


The Board of Directors has charged management with responsibility for the efficient management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and the identification and proposal of initiatives for the Corporation to secure opportunities as they arise.  In order for the Board of Directors to effectively carry out its mandate, it regularly assesses the abilities of, and communicates those assessments to, management.


The Board of Directors recognizes the value of direct input from management as it serves to assist the Board of Directors in its deliberations.  Where appropriate, members of management are invited to attend meetings of the Board of Directors to provide their input on various matters.


Board Effectiveness


The Corporation has established an assessment process to determine the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees and the Directors.  This assessment will be conducted annually by a confidential survey prepared and administered by a third party. In addition the Corporation discloses Director attendance at Board and Committee meetings each year in its Management Information Circular.  This year’s Board effectiveness assessment was completed in April, 2008.


Committees of the Board of Directors


The Board of Directors has four (4) standing committees:

  • the Audit Committee;
     

  • the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee;
     

  • the Compensation Committee; and
     

  • the Environmental, Health & Safety Committee

The majority of all of the committees are independent of management and report directly to the Board of Directors.  From time to time, when appropriate, ad hoc committees of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Board of Directors.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

The terms and conditions of each Option shall include the following, as well as such other provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be deemed advisable by the Board including those contained in any stock option agreement entered into between the Corporation and a Participant:

(a)

Option Price: The option price of any Shares in respect of which an Stock Option may be granted shall be fixed by the Board but shall be not less than the market price of the Shares on the Grant Date.  For the purpose of this subparagraph 6(a), “market price” shall be deemed to be the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the Grant Date as reported by the Toronto Stock Exchange, or, if the Shares are not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, on such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted, as the case may be.  If the Shares are not publicly traded or quoted, then the “market price” shall be the fair market value of the Shares, as determined by the Board, on the Grant Date. In the resolution allocating any Option, the Board may determine that the Grant Date shall be a future date determined in the manner specified in such resolution, in which case, for the purpose of this subparagraph 6(a), “market price” shall be deemed to be the weighted average trading price of the Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding such Grant Date as reported by the Toronto Stock Exchange, or if the Shares are not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, on such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted, as the case may be, or, if the Shares are not publicly traded or quoted, then the “market price” shall be the fair market value of the Shares, as determined by the Board, on the Grant Date.  The Board may also determine that the exercise price per share may escalate at a specified rate dependent upon the date on which any Option may be exercised by the Participant.

(b)

Payment: The full purchase price of Shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in cash or certified funds upon the exercise thereof, and upon receipt of payment in full, but subject to the terms of the Plan, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable. A holder of an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder until the Shares are issued to him.

(c)

Term of Option: Options may be granted under this Plan exercisable over a period not exceeding seven (7) years.  Each Option shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in subparagraph 6(f).

 

B-3


 

(d)

Vesting: The date or dates of the vesting of each Option shall be a future date or dates determined in the manner specified in the resolution of the Board granting such Option, provided that, subject to the provisions of subparagraph 6(f) , no Option shall vest at a rate faster than over a period of four (4) years from its Grant Date, in equal instalments on each anniversary of such Grant Date.

(e)

Exercise of Option: Subject to the provisions contained in subparagraphs 6(f)(ii),(iii) and (v), no Option may be exercised unless the Participant is then an Eligible Person.  This Plan shall not confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Corporation.  Absence on leave approved by an officer of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary authorized to give such approval shall not be considered an interruption of employment for any purpose of the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, an Option may be exercised from time to time by delivery to the transfer agent of the Corporation in Toronto of written notice of exercise specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price of the Shares then being purchased.

(f)

Termination of Options: Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, and as may be permitted by any regulatory authorities, stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Corporation, any Option granted pursuant hereto, to the extent not validly exercised, will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

(i)

the date of expiration specified in the Option agreement or in the resolution of the Board granting such Option, as the case may be, being not more than seven (7) years after the Grant Date;

(ii)

if the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, immediately upon such termination if such Option has not vested prior to the date of such termination, and upon the expiry of three (3) months from the date of such termination if such Option has so vested;

(iii)

if the Participant of its own accord ceases to be an Eligible Person, other than by reason of retirement, permanent disability or death, immediately on the date the Participant ceased to be an Eligible Person if such Option has not vested prior to such date, and upon the expiry of three (3) months from such date if such Option has so vested;

(iv)

if the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person by virtue of having been dismissed without cause, other than by reason of retirement, permanent disability or death, all of the Participant’s outstanding Options shall vest immediately on the date the Participant ceased to be an Eligible Person, and such Options shall terminate upon the expiry of three (3) months from such date;

(v)

upon the expiry of three (3) months after the date of the death of the Participant during which three (3) month period the Option may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or the person or persons to whom the deceased Participant’s rights under the Option shall pass by will or the applicable laws of decent and distribution, and only to the extent the Participant would have been entitled to exercise the Option on the date of death; and

(vi)

upon the expiry of three (3) months after termination of the Participant’s employment by reason of permanent disability or retirement under any retirement plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, during which three (3) month period the Participant may exercise the Option to the extent he was entitled to exercise it at the time of such termination, provided that if the Participant shall die within such three (3) month period, then such right shall be extended to three (3) months following the date of death of the Participant and shall be exercisable only by the persons described in subparagraph 6(f)(v) hereof and only to the extent therein set forth.

(g)

Non-transferability of Option: No Option shall be transferable or assignable by the Participant other than by will or the laws of decent and distribution and such Option shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by the Participant.

 

B-4


(h)

Applicable Laws or Regulations: The Plan, the grant and exercise of Options hereunder and the Corporation’s obligation to sell and deliver Shares upon exercise of the Options shall be subject to all applicable federal, provincial and foreign laws, rules and regulations, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading, as the case may be, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be required.  The Corporation shall not be obligated by any provision of the Plan or the granting of any Option hereunder to issue or sell Shares in violation of such laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals.  No Option shall be granted and no Shares issued or sold hereunder where such grant, issue or sale would require registration of the Plan or the Shares under the secur ities laws of any jurisdiction and any purported grant of any Option or issue or sale of Shares hereunder in violation of this provision shall be void.  In addition, the Corporation shall have no obligation to issue any Shares pursuant to the Plan unless such Shares shall have been duly listed or quoted, upon official notice of issuance, with all stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets, as the case may be, on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading.  Shares issued and sold to Participants pursuant to the exercise of Options may be subject to limitations on sale or resale under applicable securities laws.

7.

ADJUSTMENTS IN SHARES SUBJECT PLAN:

(a)

Subdivisions and Redivisions: In the event of any subdivision or redivision of the Shares at any time while any Option is outstanding into a greater number of Shares, the Corporation shall thereafter deliver at the time of exercise of any Option, in lieu of the number of Shares in respect of which such Option is then being exercised, such greater number of Shares as would result from said subdivision or redivision had such Option been exercised before such subdivision or redivision without the Participant making any additional payment or giving any other consideration therefor.

(b)

Consolidations: In the event of any consolidation of the Shares at any time while any Option is outstanding into a lesser number of Shares, the Corporation shall thereafter deliver, and the Participant shall accept, at the time of exercise of any Option, in lieu of the number of Shares in respect of which such Option is then being exercised, such lesser number of Shares as would result from such consolidation had such Option been exercised before such consolidation.

(c)

Reclassifications/Changes: In the event of any reclassification or change of the Shares at any time while any Option is outstanding, the Corporation shall thereafter deliver at the time of exercise of any Option hereunder the number of securities of the Corporation of the appropriate class or classes resulting from said reclassification or change as the Participant would have been entitled to receive in respect of the number of Shares in respect of which such Option is then being exercised had such Option been exercised before such reclassification or change.

(d)

Other Capital Reorganizations: In the event of any capital reorganization of the Corporation at any time while any Option is outstanding, not otherwise covered in this paragraph 7 or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger with or into any other entity or the sale of the properties and assets of the Corporation as or substantially as an entirety to any other entity, the Participant, if he has not exercised his Option prior to the effective date of such capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale, upon the exercise of such Option thereafter, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares then subscribed for by him but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of other securities or property of the entity resulting from such capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale, as the case may be, that the Participant would have been entitle d to receive on such capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Shares so subscribed for.

(e)

Other Changes: In the event that the Corporation takes any action affecting the Shares at any time, other than any action described above, which in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights of the Participant, the exercise price or number of Shares issuable upon exercise of any Option will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the board of directors of the Corporation may determine, but subject in all cases to any necessary regulatory and, if required, shareholder approval.  Failure to take such action by the directors of the Corporation so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

B-5


(f)

The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue fractional Shares in satisfaction of its obligations under the Plan or any Option and the Participant will not be entitled to receive any form of compensation in lieu thereof.

(g)

If at any time the Corporation grants to its shareholders the right to subscribe for and purchase pro rata additional securities of any other corporation or entity, there shall be no adjustments made to the number of Shares or other securities subject to the Options in consequence thereof and the Options shall remain unaffected.

(h)

The adjustment in the number of Shares issuable pursuant to Options provided for in this paragraph 7 shall be cumulative.

(i)

On the happening of each and every of the foregoing events, the applicable provisions of the Plan and each of them shall, ipso facto, be deemed to be amended accordingly and the Board shall take all necessary action so as to make all necessary adjustments in the number and kind of securities subject to any outstanding Option (and the Plan) and the exercise price thereof.

8.

LIMITS WITH RESPECT TO INSIDERS:

(a)

The maximum number of Shares issuable to Insiders under the Plan or other Share Compensation Arrangement shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares at any time.

(b)

The maximum number of Shares which may be issued to Insiders under the Plan or other Share Compensation Arrangement within a one-year period shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

(c)

The maximum number of Shares which may be issued to any one Insider under the Plan or other Share Compensation Arrangement within a one-year period shall be 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

(d)

Any entitlement to acquire Shares granted pursuant to the Plan or other Share Compensation Arrangement prior to the grantee becoming an Insider shall be excluded for the purposes of the limits set out in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph 8.

9.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PURPOSE OF SHARES

(a)

Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, arrange for the Corporation or any Subsidiary to make loans or provide guarantees for loans by financial institutions to assist Participants to purchase Shares upon the exercise of the Options so granted.  Any loans granted by the Corporation or any Subsidiary to assist Participants to purchase Shares upon the exercise of Options shall be full recourse to the Participant and secured by the Shares purchased with the proceeds of the loan, and shall be at such rates of interest, if any, and on such other terms as may be determined by the Corporation.

(b)

The Shares may be sold by the Participant at any time provided that an amount equivalent to the option price per Share sold, or the balance of the loan, whichever is the lesser, is applied in repayment of the loan.

10.

AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION OF PLAN AND OPTIONS

(a)

Subject in all cases to the approval of all regulatory authorities, stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Corporation, the Board may from time to time amend or revise any of the terms of the Plan (or any Option granted thereunder) or may terminate the Plan (or any Option granted thereunder) at any time provided, however, that:

(i)

no such action shall, without the consent of the participant, in any manner adversely affect a Participant’s rights under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan;

 

B-6


(ii)

if under the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, or such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted, such amendment requires approval by the shareholders of the Corporation, such amendment shall not be effective until the Corporation has obtained such approval in accordance with the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange or such other such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted.

(b)

No amendment to the terms of the Plan shall affect any Option granted prior to such date, and each such Option shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan as it existed immediately before such amendment, unless the Participant holding such Option agrees that it shall be governed by the amended terms of the Plan.

11.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN

Subject to paragraph 12, the Plan becomes effective on the Effective Date and Options may be granted immediately thereafter in accordance with the Plan.  Any amendments to the Plan shall become effective upon the approval of such amendments by the Board, subject to paragraph 12 if under the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, or such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted, require shareholder approval for such amendment.  Any Options granted subsequent to the Effective Date or subsequent to the date of an amendment to the Plan but prior to the approval of the Plan or of such amendment (if required) by the shareholders of the Corporation as contemplated in paragraph 12 shall not be exercisable until such approval is obtained and, if such approval is not obtained, such Options shall be immediately cancelled.  The Plan shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Board shall terminate the Plan, and for so long thereafter as Options remain outstanding in favour of any Participant.

12.

APPROVAL OF PLAN

The establishment of the Plan, and, if required by the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, or such other principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed or quoted, any amendment to the Plan, shall be subject to approval of the shareholders of the Corporation.  All Options granted subsequent to such approval shall not require approval by the shareholders unless such approval is required by the regulatory authorities, stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Corporation.
