EXCELLON ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO EXTEND MATURITY OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES TO JULY 31, 2024

Excellon Resources Inc. has entered into a binding agreement with holders of greater than 66-2/3rds per cent of its outstanding 5.75 per cent secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $17.91-million to extend the maturity date of the convertible debentures by 367 days from July 30, 2023, to July 31, 2024. The extension will be implemented pursuant to the terms and conditions of a supplemental indenture to be entered into between the company and TSX Trust Company as trustee and collateral agent.

In consideration for the extension, the company has agreed to an extension fee equal to 6 per cent of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures payable pro rata to the holders of the convertible debentures in common shares in the capital of the company priced at 15.6 cents per common share.

Shawn Howarth, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are pleased to have reached an agreement, providing critical financial flexibility and one step towards a broader restructuring. It also reconfirms the commitment by all parties to reach a solution for the future financial health of Excellon."

Completion of the extension is anticipated to occur on or about July 28, 2023, or such other date as the parties may determine, and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and securityholder approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the approval of the holders of the convertible debentures, which is anticipated to be obtained by way of an instrument in writing executed by holders of the convertible debentures holding convertible debentures representing not fewer than 66-2/3rds per cent of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures. Should the extension not be completed by July 30, 2023, the holders of the convertible debentures party to the agreement with the company have agreed that they will approve, or cause to be approved, the waiver and forbearance of the company's obligations arising from, or in connection with, the maturity of the convertible debentures on July 30, 2023. The company will update the market upon completion of the extension.

The parties have also agreed to immediately commence further negotiations toward a broader restructuring of the convertible debentures, including a further extension of the maturity date. The company will provide further updates when available.

In addition, the same group of holders of convertible debentures is in discussions with the company to provide bridge financing.

As previously disclosed, in parallel, the company continues to actively assess various other interim financing and other liquidity options, including corporate development and strategic opportunities, which may include divestitures, mergers or spinoffs of the company's assets.

As such matters advance, the company will provide appropriate updates in due course.
