Item 5. Full Description of Material Change
5.1 Full Description of Material Change
On February 5, 2026, the Company announced that it had closed the Offering.
ATB Cormark Capital Markets and Red Cloud Securities Inc., acted as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners for a syndicate of underwriters pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement dated February 5, 2026.
The Common Shares were issued to purchasers resident in certain provinces of Canada, except Québec, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45- 106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). Pursuant to National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities, the Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering are not subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Common Shares were also offered in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, by way of private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States on a private placement or equivalent basis, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws, provided that no prospectus, registration statement or other similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction. There is an amended and restated offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca and the Company's website at www.aldebaranresources.com.
{1}------------------------------------------------
On February 3, 2026, the Company announced that it intends to issue 1,538,462 additional Common Shares at the Offering Price in the Concurrent Private Placement pursuant to applicable exemptions under NI 45-106 for additional gross proceeds of \$5,000,001.50. All Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Concurrent Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four (4) months plus one day pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
Closing of the Concurrent Private Placement is expected to occur in mid-February 2026 and is subject to customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, inclusive of the conditional acceptance of the TSXV.
Certain funds controlled by Route One Investment Company, L.P. ("Route One"), will acquire the Common Shares to be issued in the Concurrent Private Placement. The following table shows the number and percentage of the Company's Common Shares held by Route One and its affiliates before and after giving effect to the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement:
| Shareholder | Number (%) of Common Shares prior to the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement |
Number (%) of Common Shares after the Offering and prior to Concurrent Private Placement |
Number (%) of Common Shares after the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route One Investment | 74,875,127 | 74,875,127 | 76,413,589 |
| Company, L.P, | (43.68%) | (40.74%) | (41.23%) |
Participation in the Concurrent Private Placement by Route One is considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as Route One is an insider of the Company. The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any Common Shares issued to or the consideration paid by Route One will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. A material change report was not filed more than 21 days prior to the anticipated closing of the Concurrent Private Placement because the Company did not receive definitive confirmation of Rights Holder participation, or the corresponding size of the Concurrent Private Placement, until February 3, 2026. The Company intends to complete the Concurrent Private Placement on an expedited basis for business reasons.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement to complete a prefeasibility study on its Altar copper-gold project in San Juan province, Argentina, and for general working capital purposes.
The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or available exemptions from such registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to acquire securities in any jurisdiction.
