Reykjavík, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ("Amaroq" or the "Company")
Vesting and New Awards under the Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU
Plan”) and Total Voting Rights
TORONTO, ONTARIO – 13 February 2026 – Amaroq Ltd. (AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ
Iceland: AMRQ, OTCQX: AMRQF), an independent mine development corporation
focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, announces that on 12
February 2026 certain restricted share units vested and new awards were
granted under the RSU Plan. Further details are set out below.
Vesting of the RSUs
Following the release made on 12 February 2025 regarding the granting of an
award (the "Award") to directors and employees in line with the Company’s
RSU plan, a total of 1,792,236 RSUs (representing 50% of the Award) have
vested (the “RSU Shares”). This includes allocations to the PDMRs Eldur
Olafsson (Director and CEO) and Joan Plant (Interim COO), bringing their total
holdings to 17,055,825 and 551,007 shares, respectively. The remaining 50% of
shares will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date.
Recipients of the vested shares may sell a portion of such shares in the near
term to cover applicable tax obligations arising on vesting.
Application will be made for admission of the RSU Shares to trading on AIM. It
is expected that admission will become effective and that dealings in the RSU
Shares will commence on AIM at 8:00 a.m. on 17 February 2026. Following
admission of the RSU Shares, the Company’s total issued share capital will
consist of 465,441,058 common shares of no par value each, and each with
voting rights. Given the Company does not hold any common shares in Treasury,
this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change in interest in, the share capital of the Company.

Beyond gold and base metals, Amaroq controls a broad portfolio of strategic
metal licences across South Greenland, including advanced exploration projects
at Stendalen (copper-nickel sulphides) and within the Sava Belt, where the
