Insights

Staged lock-up releases could increase tradable float across set dates.

The board approved a timetable to lift transfer restrictions on common shares. The nearest tranche is approximately 50.4 million shares effective November 13, 2025, followed by four tranches of approximately 49.1 million shares each on specified dates in 2026. These dates define when previously restricted holders may transfer their shares.

Earlier actions included 23,256,814 shares released at the time of the NYSE listing on June 12, 2025 and 46,513,271 shares released from the First Lock-Up Period effective September 9, 2025. Actual secondary market activity will depend on holder decisions and market conditions.

The company also furnished Q3 results via press release for the period ended September 30, 2025. Any trading impact from the releases will be shaped by the scheduled effectiveness dates and investor appetite at those times.
