Brazil Potash Corp. (GRO) disclosed a governance election to follow its home country rules for NYSE American Section 713. This section normally requires a shareholder vote before listing additional shares when an issuance equals or exceeds 20% of outstanding common shares at a price below the greater of book or market value, or when an issuance could result in a change of control.

Under Section 110 for foreign private issuers, the company will follow Ontario, Canada practices, which do not require shareholder approval for these issuances. As a result, the company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for transactions that would otherwise trigger the NYSE American 20% Rule or the Change of Control Rule. The company states that, apart from this election, there is no significant difference between its corporate governance practices and NYSE American requirements for U.S. domestic companies.

Brazil Potash Corp. (GRO) ha annunciato una scelta di governance per seguire le norme del proprio paese per NYSE American Section 713. Questa sezione di solito richiede un voto degli azionisti prima dell'emissione di ulteriori azioni quando un'emissione è pari o superiore al 20% delle azioni ordinarie in circolazione a un prezzo inferiore del maggiore tra valore contabile o valore di mercato, o quando un'emissione potrebbe comportare un cambio di controllo. Ai sensi della Sezione 110 per i soggetti esteri privati, la società seguirà le pratiche dell'Ontario, Canada, che non richiedono l'approvazione degli azionisti per queste emissioni. Di conseguenza, la società non è tenuta a ottenere l'approvazione degli azionisti per le transazioni che altrimenti attiverebbero la Regola del 20% di NYSE American o la Regola sul cambiamento di controllo. L'azienda afferma che, a parte questa elezione, non esistono differenze sostanziali tra le sue pratiche di governance societaria e i requisiti di NYSE American per le aziende statunitensi domestiche.

Bajo la Sección 110 para emisores extranjeros privados, la empresa seguirá las prácticas de Ontario, Canadá, que no requieren la aprobación de los accionistas para estas emisiones. Como resultado, la empresa no está obligada a obtener la aprobación de los accionistas para transacciones que de otro modo activarían la Regla del 20% de NYSE American o la Regla de Cambio de Control.

Brazil Potash Corp. (GRO)가 NYSE American 제713호 섹션에 따라 자국 규정을 따르려는 지배구조 선거를 공시했다. 이 섹션은 일반적으로 발행 주식이 유통주식의 20% 이상이 되거나 발행가가 장부가 또는 시가 중 큰 쪽보다 낮은 경우, 또는 발행으로 지배권 변화가 발생할 수 있는 경우 추가 주식을 상장하기 전에 주주 동의를 필요로 한다. 외국 비상장 발행인용 섹션 110에 따라 회사는 캐나다 온타리오주의 관례를 따르게 되며, 이는 이러한 발행에 대해 주주 승인을 요구하지 않는다. 결과적으로 이 회사는 NYSE American의 20% 규칙이나 지배권 변경 규칙를 촉발할 수 있는 거래에 대해 주주 승인을 받을 의무가 없다. 회사는 이 선거를 제외하고는 미국 내 기업에 대한 NYSE American의 기업 거버넌스 요건과 실질적 차이가 없다고 밝히고 있다.

En vertu de la section 110 pour les émetteurs étrangers privés, la société suivra les pratiques de l'Ontario, Canada, qui n'exigent pas l'approbation des actionnaires pour ces émissions. En conséquence, la société n'est pas tenue d'obtenir l'approbation des actionnaires pour les transactions qui autrement déclencheraient la Règle des 20% de NYSE American ou la Règle de changement de contrôle. La société déclare qu'à part ce choix, il n'existe pas de différence significative entre ses pratiques de gouvernance d'entreprise et les exigences de NYSE American pour les sociétés domestiques américaines.
Brazil Potash Corp. (GRO) veröffentlichte eine Governance-Wahl, um den Regeln des Heimatlandes für NYSE American Abschnitt 713 zu folgen. Dieser Abschnitt erfordert normalerweise eine Aktionärs-abstimmung vor der Emission zusätzlicher Aktien, wenn eine Emission 20% der ausstehenden Stammaktien zu einem Preis unter dem höheren von Buchwert oder Marktwert entspricht bzw. wenn eine Emission zu einer Veränderung der Kontrolle führen könnte. Gemäß Abschnitt 110 für foreign private issuers wird das Unternehmen die Praktiken Ontarios, Kanada, befolgen, die für diese Emissionen keine Aktionärszustimmung erfordern. Folglich ist das Unternehmen nicht verpflichtet, eine Aktionärszustimmung für Transaktionen zu erhalten, die sonst die NYSE American 20%-Regel oder die Change-of-Control-Regel auslösen würden. Das Unternehmen erklärt, dass, abgesehen von dieser Wahl, kein wesentlicher Unterschied zwischen seinen Corporate-Governance-Praktiken und den Anforderungen von NYSE American für US-amerikanische Inlandsunternehmen besteht.
أفصحت شركة Brazil Potash Corp. (GRO) عن اختيار حوكمة لاتباع قواعد بلدها الأم لـ NYSE American القسم 713. عادةً ما يتطلب هذا القسم تصويت المساهمين قبل إدراج أسهم إضافية عندما تكون الإصدار مساوياً أو يتجاوز 20% من إجمالي الأسهم العادية القائمة بسعر أدنى من الأكبر بين القيم الدفترية أو القيمة السوقية، أو عندما قد يؤدي الإصدار إلى تغيير في السيطرة. بموجب القسم 110 لمصدري الأوراق المالية الأجانب الخاصة، ستتبع الشركة ممارسات أونتاريو، كندا، التي لا تتطلب موافقة المساهمين لهذه الإصدرات. ونتيجة لذلك، لا يُطلب من الشركة الحصول على موافقة المساهمين للصفقات التي من شأنها أن trigger NYSE American قاعدة 20% أو قاعدة تغيير السيطرة. وتذكر الشركة أنه بخلاف هذا الاختيار، لا يوجد فرق كبير بين ممارسات حوكمتها المؤسسية ومتطلبات NYSE American للشركات الأمريكية المقيمة.
Brazil Potash Corp. (GRO) 披露了一项治理选择,以遵循其本国规则用于 NYSE American 第713条。本条通常要求在发行额等于或超过现有普通股的20%时,且发行价格低于账面价值和市值中的较大者,或当发行可能导致控制权变更时,在上市额外股数之前进行股东投票。在面向外国私人发行人之第110条下,公司将遵循加拿大安大略省的做法,该做法不要求就这些发行征得股东批准。因此,该公司无义务就本应触发 NYSE American 的20%规则 或控制权变更规则 的交易征得股东批准。公司声明,除了这一选择之外,其企业治理实践与美国境内公司在NYSE American的要求之间没有实质性差异。

Insights

Home country exemption removes NYSE 20%/control vote requirement.

Brazil Potash elected to follow Ontario law instead of NYSE American Section 713. Section 713 would otherwise require shareholder approval for issuances at or above 20% below-market/book or those that could cause a change of control. Ontario law does not mandate such votes, and Section 110 allows this choice for foreign private issuers.

The practical effect is flexibility to execute large or control-shifting issuances without a shareholder meeting, subject to applicable laws and listing standards. This can streamline financing or strategic transactions that involve significant equity issuance.

There are no additional differences cited beyond this exemption. Actual impact depends on whether the company undertakes transactions that would have required a vote under Section 713.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

This report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K is being filed to provide the home country rule exemption disclosure to be included in the next Form 20-F of Brazil Potash Corp., a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Company”), for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Corporate Governance

Pursuant to Section 110 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) the Company has elected to follow the Company’s home country rules with respect to Section 713 of the Company Guide.

Section 713 of the Company Guide provides that an issuer listed on the NYSE American is required to obtain shareholder approval in accordance with Section 705 of the Company Guide as a prerequisite to approval of applications to list additional shares when the additional shares will be issued in connection with a transaction involving the sale, issuance, or potential issuance by the issuer of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) equal to 20% or more of its presently outstanding common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) for less than the greater of book or market value of the shares (the “20% Rule”) or when the issuance or potential issuance of additional shares will result in a change of control of the issuer, including, but not limited to, those issuances that constitute a reverse merger (the “Change of Control Rule”).

Notwithstanding this general requirement, Section 110 of the Company Guide permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice rather than the shareholder approval requirements of the 20% Rule or the Change of Control Rule. The laws of Ontario Canada (the Company’s domicile of incorporation) do not require shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of issuances and the Company has elected to follow its home country rules with respect to Section 713 of the Company Guide. The Company, therefore, is not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior to entering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities in contravention of the 20% Rule or the Change of Control Rule.

Except for the foregoing, there is no significant difference between our corporate governance practices and what NYSE American requires of domestic U.S. companies. 


SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
