Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2025) - Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE) ("Maritime" or the "Company") announces it proposes to consolidate the Company's issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) new Common Share for every ten (10) existing Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). Each shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company and proportionate voting power will remain unchanged after the Consolidation, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the treatment of any fractional Common Shares.
Management believes the Consolidation will help facilitate ongoing organic growth while providing the Company with increased flexibility for future corporate initiatives. This proposed Consolidation aims to attract new shareholders and improve the marketability of the Common Shares as a compelling investment opportunity.
As a result of the Consolidation, the 1,119,460,072 Common Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Consolidation will be reduced to approximately 111,946,007 Common Shares. The exercise price of the Company's existing incentive stock options under the Company's omnibus equity incentive plan, the number of Common Shares issuable thereunder, and the exercise price and number of Common Shares issuable under certain outstanding warrants will be adjusted in accordance with the Consolidation.
The Consolidation was approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting held on August 8, 2024, but remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX.V"). The effective date of the Consolidation will be on June 16, 2025. The Company will not be changing its name in conjunction with the Consolidation.
