Torex Announces Amendments to Shareholder Rights Plan

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2014) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX:TXG)(TSX:TXG.WT) announces that the Company has amended certain terms of the shareholders rights plan agreement dated May 21, 2014 (the "Plan") to be presented for ratification at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of Torex scheduled to be held on June 26, 2014 (the "Meeting"). The amendments were made in response to comments from ISS Proxy Advisory Services, a branch of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), a proxy voting advisory and corporate governance services firm.

Torex has amended the Plan to:

1. confine the definition of "Associate" to include only familial relationships by removing corporations, trusts and persons who have direct or indirect control of more than 10% of the voting rights from the definition;
2. introduce a cap on "Pro Rata Acquisitions" to prevent the acquisition of voting shares pursuant to the acquisition or exercise of rights pursuant to a rights offering which may result in a possible change of control without shareholder approval by means of a backstopped rights offering;
3. limit the Corporation's ability to supplement or amend the Plan prior to the Meeting where such actions would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of rights generally; and
4. narrow the board of directors' (the "Board") discretion in administering the Plan, including with respect to the Board's exclusive ability to interpret the provisions of the Plan and making determinations for its administration.

The amended and restated Plan will be available on SEDAR.
