TORONTO, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evergold Corp.

Prior to giving effect to the proposed Consolidation, the Company has 120,075,696 pre-Consolidation Shares issued and outstanding.

A letter of transmittal will be mailed to registered shareholders providing instructions with respect to surrendering share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Shares in exchange for post-Consolidation Shares issued as a result of the proposed Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing pre-Consolidation Shares will be deemed to represent the number of post-Consolidation Shares the holder received as a result of the Consolidation.

Outstanding securities convertible or exercisable into Common Shares will also be adjusted by the Consolidation ratio, and the exercise price of such securities will be adjusted accordingly.
