GOLD ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO PURSUE NASDAQ LISTING OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES
NOT
FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
July
27th, 2026 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SGN, OTCQB: SRCRF, FSE: RY9) (“Scorpio
Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends to pursue a listing of American Depositary
Shares (“ADSs”) on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).
Rather
than seeking to list its common shares directly on Nasdaq, the Company intends to establish an American Depositary Share program
under which a U.S. depositary bank would issue ADSs representing a specified number of Scorpio Gold common shares. The ratio of
common shares represented by each ADS will be determined in connection with the proposed listing process, taking into account
the Company’s objective of establishing an appropriate U.S. trading price for the ADSs while satisfying Nasdaq’s initial
listing requirements. The Company currently expects each ADS to represent approximately 20 common shares.
The
ADS program is expected to be administered by a U.S. depositary bank pursuant to a deposit agreement customary for cross-border
listings of this nature. In connection with the establishment of the ADS program, the U.S. depositary bank is expected to file
a registration statement on Form F-6 with the SEC to register the ADSs to be issued under the deposit agreement. Holders of ADSs
will have a beneficial interest in the Company’s common shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the terms of the
applicable deposit agreement.
The
Company’s common shares would continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), while
the ADSs would trade on Nasdaq, providing U.S. investors with the ability to invest through the familiar U.S. market infrastructure.
The ADS structure is also expected to enable the proposed Nasdaq listing while preserving the Company’s existing Canadian
share capital structure (without a reverse split) and the trading of its common shares on the TSXV.
To
facilitate the proposed Nasdaq listing, the Company has filed a short form base shelf prospectus in Canada and a corresponding
registration statement on Form F-10 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under
the Canada-U.S. multijurisdictional disclosure system. Common shares underlying the ADSs and ADSs may be issued pursuant to the
Canadian base shelf prospectus, the Form F-10 registration statement and an applicable prospectus supplement.
Zayn
Kalyan, CEO of Scorpio Gold, stated: “The proposed Nasdaq listing will represent an important milestone in Scorpio’s
growth strategy. We believe an ADS listing has the potential to expand our visibility among U.S. investors, broaden access to
the U.S. capital markets and complement our existing TSXV listing while preserving our current Canadian capital structure.”
The
proposed listing of the ADSs on the Nasdaq remains subject to satisfaction of Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, receipt
of all required regulatory approvals, and completion of customary listing processes. There can be no assurance that the Company’s
application will be approved or that a listing of the ADSs on the Nasdaq will be completed.
This
press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any
sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers, solicitations
of offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, and the applicable
laws of any jurisdiction where such securities are sold.
