Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 03 | Share consolidation | Neutral | -5.8% | Announced 5-for-1 share consolidation to support Nasdaq listing standards. |
| Dec 01 | Deal registration | Positive | +0.0% | Form F-4 registration for Plum business combination declared effective by SEC. |
| Nov 10 | Financing package | Positive | +5.0% | Announced US$140M financing package and standby equity to support combination. |

Recent news has been largely positive around financing and the Plum business combination, yet price reactions have often been muted or negative, with only one clear positive alignment out of five events.
Over the last several months, Tactical Resources focused on its planned business combination with Plum Acquisition Corp. III and a prospective Nasdaq listing. Key milestones included a US$140 million financing package on Nov 10, 2025, effectiveness of the Form F-4 registration statement on Dec 1, 2025, and multiple amendments and business updates tied to the merger. Despite this generally constructive news flow, four of the last five events showed price reactions that diverged from their positive or neutral tone.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -5.8% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite this largely mechanical 5-for-1 consolidation would fit a pattern where the stock often moved counter to generally constructive news on the Plum business combination and Nasdaq plans. Several prior filings and updates saw muted or negative price responses. In that context, weakness could reflect market caution toward structural changes and prior financing activity rather than the proportional nature of the consolidation itself.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / December 3, 2025 / Tactical Resources Corp. (TSX.V: RARE)(OTC PINK:USREF) ("Tactical" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration and development company, announces that, in connection with the Company's previously announced business combination (the "Business Combination") with Plum Acquisition Corp. III ("Plum"), and to ensure the resulting issuer ("New PubCo") satisfies applicable Nasdaq listing standards, the Company will consolidate its common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of five (5) pre-consolidation Shares for every one (1) post-consolidation Share (the "Consolidation") effective December 5, 2025.
The Company notes that, although its management information circular (the "Circular") and related proxy materials (the "Meeting Materials") mailed to shareholders ("Shareholders") in connection with the annual general and special meeting of Shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on December 16, 2025 (the "Meeting") sought approval for a consolidation of up to twenty-five (25) to one (1), the Company's board of directors (the "Board") has determined that a ratio of five (5) to one (1) is sufficient based on the Company's trading price. The TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") has approved effecting the Consolidation based on the proposed ratio by way of Board resolution, and the Company does not expect to effect any further share consolidation in connection with completion of the Business Combination.
The Consolidation will not affect the consideration payable to Company shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Following completion of the Consolidation, Company shareholders will receive the same effective number of New PubCo shares as they would have received if the Consolidation had not been implemented and will retain the same proportionate ownership interest in New PubCo immediately following completion of the transaction.
The Business Combination remains subject to approval of the Company shareholders, court approval, stock exchange approval and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurances that the Business Combination will be completed following the effectiveness of the Consolidation.
The Company name and trading symbol will remain unchanged after the Consolidation. The new CUSIP number will be 87357T300 and the new ISIN number will be CA87357T3001 for the post-Consolidation Shares.
Following the Consolidation, the Company expects to have approximately 7,345,379 Shares issued and outstanding, subject to adjustment for the treatment of fractional Shares.
No fractional Shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. Any fractional interest resulting from the Consolidation that is less than one-half (1/2) of a Share will be rounded down and cancelled, and any fractional interest that is equal to or greater than one-half (1/2) of a Share will be rounded up to one (1) whole Share.
The exercise price, conversion price and the number of Shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding convertible securities, as applicable, will be proportionately adjusted upon the effectiveness of the Consolidation.
Registered shareholders who hold physical Share certificates will receive a letter of transmittal requesting that they forward pre-Consolidation Share certificates to the Company's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company in exchange for new Share certificates representing Shares on a post-Consolidation basis. Shareholders who hold their Shares through a broker or other intermediary and do not have Shares registered in their own name will not be required to complete a letter of transmittal.
