Lavras Gold to Consolidate Shares

Consolidated shares are expected to trade on or around June 7, 2022.

TORONTO, June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Further to a press release dated May 9, 2022, Lavras Gold Corp. (TSXV: LGC) (the “Company”) will consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common shares”) based on 10 pre-consolidation Common Shares for one post-consolidation Common Share (the “Consolidation”). The Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the Toronto Venture Exchange on a consolidated basis on or about June 7, 2022.

Following the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 41,103,800 Common Shares outstanding. No fractional Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation and any fractional shares that would have otherwise been issued have been rounded down or up to the nearest whole Common Share, with 0.5 of a Common Share being rounded up. The change in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares resulting from the Consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership in the Company, although such ownership will be represented by a smaller number of Common Shares. 

Letters of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation are being mailed out to the Company’s registered shareholders. All registered shareholders will be required to send their share certificates, along with a properly executed letter of transmittal, to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., according to the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal.

Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that nominee or intermediary for assistance in depositing their Common Shares in connection with the Name Change and Consolidation.

A copy of the letter of transmittal will be posted on the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
