Deferred Share Units financial

"A deferred share unit ("DSU") entitles the holder to receive one common share of Perpetua Resources Corp."

Deferred share units are promises that give an executive or director the right to receive company shares or their cash value at a future date, often when they retire or leave the company. Think of them as a paycheck held in a savings account that converts into stock later; they matter to investors because they tie pay to long-term performance, create potential future dilution of shares, and represent a delayed cash or share obligation the company must eventually fulfill.

DSU financial

"A deferred share unit ("DSU") entitles the holder to receive one common share"

Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan financial

"subject to the approval of the administrator of the Issuer's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan"

A single, company-wide plan that lets a business grant different kinds of stock-based pay — such as stock options, shares that vest over time, or other equity awards — to employees, directors and consultants. It matters to investors because it determines how much of the company can be paid out in shares, how quickly those shares enter the market, and how well employees are motivated to grow the business; think of it as a toolbox or menu for paying with ownership stakes that can dilute existing holders and affect company performance.

Nasdaq Capital Market financial

"Based on the closing price of the Issuer's Common Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 24, 2026."

The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.
