Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Blue Gold Limited outlines steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and strengthen its balance sheet. The company expects a series of balance sheet optimization transactions to improve shareholders’ equity by approximately $30 million, supporting the equity requirement for continued listing.

Under a Deed of Settlement and Conversion, $3,617,176 of payables from Blue Gold Bogoso Prestea Ltd to FGR will be settled through 3,617 shares of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock issued to Future Global Resources Limited. A $3,500,000 CalBank deposit will be assigned to Blue Gold Bogoso Prestea Ltd, with 3,500 additional Series A shares issued as consideration.

Each Series A share is convertible into 1,000 non‑voting common shares, subject to a 19.99% Conversion Cap tied to pre‑issuance common shares, with higher conversion requiring Stockholder Approval. An extraordinary general meeting on July 24, 2026 will seek authority for a reverse share split, and, once compliant, the company plans to move its listings from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Insights

Blue Gold restructures liabilities into equity to support Nasdaq compliance.

Blue Gold Limited plans balance sheet transactions expected to lift shareholders’ equity by about $30 million. It is converting $3,617,176 of payables into preferred equity and assigning a $3,500,000 deposit in exchange for additional preferred shares, reducing leverage while preserving cash.

The new Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock converts into common shares at a 1,000:1 ratio, capped at 19.99% of pre‑issuance common stock unless shareholders approve a higher level. This structure addresses Nasdaq ownership rules while creating potential future dilution if conversions occur.

An extraordinary general meeting on July 24, 2026 will seek authority for a reverse share split, another common tool for maintaining listing standards. If Nasdaq requirements are met, the company intends to transfer its shares and warrants to the Nasdaq Capital Market, aligning with its remediation strategy.

EGM date July 24, 2026 Extraordinary general meeting for reverse share split authority
Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"3,617 shares of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to FGRL."
Conversion Cap financial
"subject to a cap of 19.99% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Cap”)"
A conversion cap is a limit written into a convertible security (like a note or SAFE) that fixes the maximum company valuation used when that investment converts into equity, so the investor receives shares as if the company were worth no more than that cap. It matters to investors because it protects early backers from being diluted if the company later raises money at a high valuation, effectively acting like a coupon that guarantees a better share price and a clearer sense of potential ownership and return.
Stockholder Approval regulatory
"Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Deed) is required to exceed the Conversion Cap."
Stockholder approval is formal consent given by a company’s shareholders, usually through a vote at a meeting or by proxy, for major actions such as mergers, asset sales, changes to corporate structure, or amendments to governance rules. Investors pay attention because the vote can enable or block steps that materially change a company’s direction, ownership or value—like neighbors voting to allow a major renovation that would alter a building’s use and worth.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(f) regulatory
"the Company may rely on the financial viability exception under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(f)"
reverse share split financial
"to seek shareholder authorization for the Board of Directors to determine the timing and ratio of a reverse share split"
A reverse share split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding by combining multiple shares into one, effectively increasing the price of each share. For investors, this can help improve the company's image or meet stock exchange listing requirements, but it does not change the total value of their investment. It’s similar to turning many small pieces of a puzzle into fewer larger pieces—nothing new is added or lost, just rearranged.

Blue Gold Ltd Announces Initiatives to regain Nasdaq Compliance and Strengthen its Financial Position

 

NEW YORK, NY, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) (Nasdaq: BGLWW) (“Blue Gold” or the “Company”), a gold mining company with the infrastructure to deliver gold from mine-to-wallet, today announced that it has undertaken several initiatives to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements and strengthen the Company’s financial position.

 

Strengthening the Business

 

Blue Gold is undertaking a series of initiatives designed to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, strengthen its financial position, and optimize its capital structure and operating costs.

 

The Company has entered into agreements which optimize its balance sheet while increasing its shareholders’ equity. Collectively, these transactions, along with the revaluation of warrant liabilities, are expected to improve shareholders’ equity by approximately $30 million. This improvement is expected to enable the Company to satisfy the shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.

 

Blue Gold has announced an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to be held on July 24, 2026, at which shareholders of record as of July 7, 2026 may vote, to seek authorization for the board of directors of the Company to determine the timing and size of any reverse share split, and any conditions that may be required. If approved, the Board will determine whether to implement the share split based on the Company’s share price performance and any applicable Nasdaq compliance deadlines.

 

If the Company regains compliance with the continued listing requirements, it intends to apply to transfer the listing of its Class A ordinary shares and warrants from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which provides more leeway to maintain continued compliance in the future.

2LIABILITIES NOT PASSING TO BGBPL

 

2.1GSR Liabilities.

FGRL confirms that BGBPL has no future payment obligation in respect of the Contingent Consideration Liabilities, and FGRL irrevocably and unconditionally releases and discharges BGBPL from any such liability or obligation.

 

2.2Binding effect. The confirmations and releases in this clause 2 are immediately binding on the Parties on the date of this Deed and are not conditional on the matters described in clause 5.

 

3CONVERSION OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE INTO SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

3.1Agreement to convert. FGR, BGBPL and BGL agree that the Converted Payables shall be satisfied by the issue by BGL to FGRL of 3,617 shares of Series A. Upon issue of such Series A in accordance with clause 3.4, the Converted Payables shall be treated as fully and finally settled and discharged.

 

3.2Terms of the Series A. The Series A shall have the following terms:

 

3.2.1each share of Series A is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock of BGL, subject to the Conversion Cap;

 

3.2.2the Series A shall be a non-voting series of preferred stock;

 

3.2.3the Series A shall carry no mandatory redemption rights and BGL shall not be obligated to redeem the Series A;

 

3.2.4the Series A shall be redeemable, at face value, solely at the option of BGL, at any time beginning twelve (12) months from the date of issue;

 

3

 

 

3.2.5holders of the Series A may convert into common stock at any time, or from time to time, beginning twelve (12) months from the date of issue, subject always to the Conversion Cap; and

3.3Nasdaq Conversion Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed or the terms of the Series A, the Series A shall not be convertible into, and BGL shall not issue upon conversion, any shares of common stock to the extent that such issue, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A (and with any other issue required by applicable Nasdaq listing rules to be aggregated therewith), would result in the issue of common stock equal to or exceeding 19.99% of the number of shares of common stock of BGL outstanding immediately prior to the issue of the Series A (the "Conversion Cap"). The Conversion Cap shall apply subject to clause 5.4. The certificate of designations (or equivalent constitutional instrument) governing the Series A shall give effect to the Conversion Cap.

The issue of the Series A shall be effected as an action taken pursuant to this Deed and not by this Deed itself.

 

3.5FGR group intercompany. The Parties acknowledge that the satisfaction of the Converted Payables by issue of Series A to FGRL is effected at the direction of the FGR group, and that the allocation and settlement of intercompany balances between FGR, FGRL and other members of the FGR group arising as a result is a matter for the FGR group alone and is not an obligation owed to, or enforceable by, BGL or BGBPL under this Deed.

 

4CALBANK DEPOSIT AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

 

4.1The Deposit. A deposit in the amount of US$3,500,000 (the “Deposit”) is presently held on account with CalBank in Ghana as part of an Environmental Protection Agency bond in respect of the asset retirement obligation (the “ARO”) for the Bogoso and Prestea mine (the “Mine”).

 

4.2Assignment of the Deposit.

 

4.2.1FGR hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to BGBPL, absolutely, and BGBPL hereby accepts, all of FGR’s right, title, benefit and interest of whatever nature (whether legal, equitable, beneficial, contractual or otherwise) in and to the Deposit, together with all rights to receive the same on its release (if any).

 

4.2.2To the extent that any part of the Deposit cannot, for any reason, be assigned or transferred with effect as set out above, FGR shall hold that part on trust for BGBPL absolutely and shall account to BGBPL for it accordingly.

 

4.3Mandate and further assurance.

 

4.3.1FGR shall, and shall procure that its affiliates shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, execute and deliver all such documents and do all such things as BGBPL may reasonably require to transfer, novate or re-issue the mandate or account arrangements held with CalBank (and, if required, to obtain the consent of the Environmental Protection Agency or any other relevant person) so as to give full effect to the assignment in clause 4.2 and to vest control of the Deposit in BGBPL.

 

4

 

 

4.3.2Each Party shall, at its own cost, execute such further documents and take such further action as may reasonably be required to give effect to this clause 4.

 

4.4Acknowledgement shares.

 

4.4.1In consideration of the assignment in clause 4.2, and subject to clause 5, BGL shall issue 3,500 shares of Series A to FGRL free from any restriction on conversion, forfeiture or return.

 

4.4.2BGL shall retain the right to redeem such Series A, at face value, at its sole discretion.

 

5CONDITIONS, NASDAQ COMPLIANCE AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL

 

5.1Conditions to issue. The issue of the Series A under clauses 3 and 4 is conditional upon, and shall not take effect until, the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

5.1.1the board of directors of BGL having approved the creation and issue of the Series A and the adoption of a certificate of designations (or equivalent constitutional instrument) setting out the terms of the Series A (including the Conversion Cap); and

 

5.1.2such issue being permitted under the constitutional documents of BGL and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

5.2Nasdaq compliance. The Parties shall structure and implement the issue and any conversion of the Series A so as to comply with the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

5.3Stockholder Approval. The Parties intend that, by reason of the Conversion Cap, the issue of the Series A shall not require Stockholder Approval as a condition to issue. The Conversion Cap shall cease to apply only upon, and to the extent of, Stockholder Approval having been obtained or Nasdaq confirming that such approval is not required. If BGL wishes to permit conversion of the Series A in excess of the Conversion Cap, it shall use reasonable endeavours to seek Stockholder Approval at the next annual or special meeting of its stockholders, and pending receipt of Stockholder Approval (or such confirmation from Nasdaq) the Conversion Cap shall continue to apply in full. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to obtain Stockholder Approval shall not affect the validity of the issue of the Series A or the settlement of the Converted Payables under clause 3.1.

 

5.4Financial viability exception. Where any delay in securing Stockholder Approval would seriously jeopardise the financial viability of BGL, BGL may, in lieu of seeking Stockholder Approval, apply to rely on the financial viability exception under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(f), subject to the prior approval of its audit committee (or a committee comprised of independent, disinterested directors) and compliance with the related shareholder-notice and public-announcement requirements.

 

5.5Endeavours and binding clause 2. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure the satisfaction of the conditions in clause 5.1 as soon as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the confirmations and releases in clause 2 are not subject to this clause 5 and take effect immediately on the date of this Deed.

Save as expressly varied or confirmed by this Deed, the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and the Royalty Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

6.2Counterparts. This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original, and all the counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
