Ero Copper Corp. has filed its annual meeting circular, outlining proposals for its upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting on June 29, 2026. Key proposals include the re-election of ten directors, the reappointment of KPMG LLP as auditor, and significant amendments to the company's Stock Option Plan and Share Unit Plan. The most notable change is a reduction in the maximum aggregate number of shares issuable under all equity compensation arrangements from 7% to 6% of outstanding shares. While the Share Unit Plan will now mandate share issuance upon vesting (removing the cash settlement option), the overall reduction in the authorized pool for equity awards is a positive governance step, limiting potential future dilution.
