RNS Number : 4732J SolGold PLC 28 November 2025
28 November 2025
SolGold plc
("SolGold" or the "Company")
Application for Designated Foreign Issuer Treatment under Canadian Securities
Laws
SolGold plc (LSE: SOLG) announces that it has applied to the Ontario
Securities Commission for a decision (the "Decision") under the securities
legislation of Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador,
and Nova Scotia (the "Canadian Jurisdictions") granting it an exemption
analogous to the "designated foreign issuer" exemption in Part 5 of National
Instrument 71-102 - Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to
Foreign Issuers ("NI 71-102"). This application follows the Company's
voluntary delisting of its ordinary shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange on
June 18, 2025.
SolGold currently meets all of the requirements to be a "designated foreign
issuer" under NI 71-102 except for one, namely the percentage of the Company's
ordinary shares owned, directly or indirectly, by residents of Canada exceeds
by a small margin the maximum threshold of 10% required by NI 71-102 (on a
fully diluted basis). However, excluding the Company's ordinary shares
beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by one
significant shareholder (the "Significant Shareholder"), the percentage of
SolGold's ordinary shares owned, directly or indirectly, by Canadian residents
is only 6.76% (on a fully diluted basis) (as far as the Company is aware as of
August 6, 2025). The Significant Shareholder has consented in writing to the
exemption sought in the Decision.
If the Decision is granted, SolGold will be relieved from certain continuous
disclosure requirements under Canadian securities laws provided that, among
other things, SolGold files on SEDAR+, makes publicly available or provides to
its securityholders in Canada all financial statements and other continuous
disclosure materials that it is required to file, make publicly available or
provide to its securityholders pursuant to the foreign disclosure requirements
of the United Kingdom.
