VANCOUVER, BC, June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (OTCQX: OCANF) today announced a share consolidation set to take effect on Monday, June 23, 2025. The move, approved by shareholders at the recent Annual General and Special Meeting on June 4, will see every three pre-consolidation shares converted into one post-consolidation share.
This consolidation comes as OceanaGold eyes a potential dual listing on a major U.S. exchange, possibly including the New York Stock Exchange, slated for the first half of 2026. The company believes a U.S. listing could be a catalyst, attracting a broader investor base and boosting both marketability and trading liquidity. The consolidation is strategically designed to elevate the per-share trading price, aligning with the minimum trading price requirements of such exchanges.
Trading of the post-consolidation shares will commence on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the existing symbol “OGC” and a new CUSIP number, 675222400, on the effective date.
Currently, OceanaGold has 693,379,818 common shares issued. Following the consolidation, the company anticipates approximately 231,126,566 shares outstanding, subject to rounding. Adjustments will be made proportionally to the exercise or conversion prices of all performance rights and deferred share units, reflecting the consolidation ratio. No fractional post-consolidation shares will be issued. Fractional interests of 0.50 or more will be rounded up, while those below 0.50 will be cancelled.
Shareholders holding shares through the Direct Registration System (DRS) will automatically receive a DRS advice from the transfer agent, representing their post-consolidation shareholding, eliminating the need for further action. Investors holding shares through intermediaries such as brokers should consult their respective institutions regarding the processing of the consolidation. Registered shareholders who possess share certificates will receive instructions from the transfer agent regarding the exchange process.
