normal course issuer bid regulatory
"intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”)"
A Normal Course Issuer Bid is when a company buys back its own shares from the stock market over time. This usually shows that the company believes its stock is undervalued and wants to support its price, which can be important for investors to watch.
automatic share purchase plan regulatory
"entered into an automatic share purchase plan with its designated broker"
An automatic share purchase plan is a pre-arranged agreement that allows investors to buy a set amount of a company's shares at regular intervals without needing to make individual decisions each time. It helps investors steadily build their holdings over time, much like setting a recurring deposit into a savings account, making investing more disciplined and less influenced by short-term market fluctuations.
volume weighted average purchase price financial
"at a volume weighted average purchase price of C$43.56 per Common Share"
The volume weighted average purchase price is the average price an investor paid for a security, calculated by giving more weight to prices where more shares were bought—so large trades move the average more than small ones. Investors use it like a cost-basis yardstick to see whether current market prices are above or below what they effectively paid, helping judge gains, losses, and whether to sell or add to a position.
block purchase exception regulatory
"Daily purchases on the TSX under the NCIB will be limited ... other than purchases made pursuant to the block purchase exception"
restricted share unit plan financial
"for the purposes of satisfying redemptions pursuant to Eldorado’s restricted share unit plan"
A restricted share unit plan is a company program that promises employees or executives actual company shares or cash tied to the company’s stock, delivered later once conditions like continued employment or performance targets are met. Think of it as a delayed paycheck paid in stock that becomes fully owned only after certain milestones. Investors care because these awards can change the number of shares outstanding, affect reported costs, and align employee actions with shareholder value.
safe harbor regulatory
"in order to qualify for the safe harbor provided under applicable United States securities laws"
Safe harbor is a rule that protects companies or individuals from legal trouble if they follow certain guidelines or procedures. It’s like having a safety net that allows them to act without fear of punishment, as long as they stick to the rules. This helps encourage honest behavior and clear standards in financial and legal activities.

NEWS RELEASE

Eldorado Gold Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

 

VANCOUVER, BC – Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD, NYSE: EGO) (“Eldorado” or “the Company”) announces that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") of Eldorado’s notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”).

 

Pursuant to the NCIB, Eldorado may purchase up to 13,065,993 common shares of Eldorado (“Common Shares”), which is 5% of the 261,319,863 issued and outstanding Common Shares as at July 27, 2026. Purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and alternative trading systems in Canada or the United States at prevailing market prices. The NCIB will commence on August 5, 2026 and will end on July 31, 2027.

 

Under Eldorado’s previous normal course issuer bid that commenced on August 6, 2025 and will end on July 31, 2026, under which Eldorado sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 10,159,967 Common Shares, 7,739,880 Common Shares were purchased on the open market through the facilities of TSX, the NYSE and/or alternative trading systems in Canada or the United States at a volume weighted average purchase price of C$43.56 per Common Share.

 

Daily purchases on the TSX under the NCIB will be limited to 194,581 Common Shares, other than purchases made pursuant to the block purchase exception, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 778,325 Common Shares on the TSX for six months ending June 30, 2026. Purchases on the NYSE will be subject to daily limitations and other conditions regarding the manner, timing, price and volume of purchases in order to qualify for the safe harbor provided under applicable United States securities laws. The actual number of Common Shares which may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the management of the Company, subject to applicable laws and the rules of the TSX and NYSE.

 

Up to 12,865,993 Common Shares repurchased under the NCIB will be cancelled, and up to 200,000 Common Shares repurchased under the NCIB will remain outstanding and be held in trust by Computershare Trust Company of Canada for the purposes of satisfying redemptions pursuant to Eldorado’s restricted share unit plan (the “RSU Plan”) until such Common Shares are required to be transferred to designated participants under the terms of the RSU Plan.

 

The NCIB is being renewed as Eldorado believes the market price of the Common Shares may not, from time to time, fully reflect their long-term value. Accordingly, the repurchase of the Common Shares under the NCIB is in the best interests of the Company and an attractive and appropriate use of available funds given the strength of the balance sheet, progress on the Skouries Project and ongoing cash generation from the operations in a high gold price environment. Eldorado is committed to enhancing shareholder returns through such programs as the NCIB.

 

In connection with the NCIB, Eldorado has entered into an automatic share purchase plan with its designated broker to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares during times when Eldorado would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed black-out periods. Before entering a black-out period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the broker to make purchases under the NCIB based on parameters set by Eldorado in accordance with the automatic share purchase plan, applicable securities laws and the rules of the TSX and NYSE.

Although Eldorado has a present intention to acquire its Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB, Eldorado will not be obligated to make any purchases and purchases may be suspended by Eldorado at any time.

 

A copy of Eldorado’s Notice filed with the TSX may be obtained, by any shareholder without charge, by contacting Eldorado’s Corporate Secretary.
