UPDATE ON SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT
Brightstar Resources Ltd (ASX: BTR) ( Brightstar ) and Alto Metals Limited (ASX: AME) ( Alto ) refer to their previous joint announcement on 1 August 2024 concerning the proposed scheme of arrangement between Alto and its shareholders under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Scheme ).

The updated indicative timetable for the Scheme is set out below:*
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| First Court Hearing for the Scheme | 11 October 2024 |
| Scheme Booklet dispatched to Alto shareholders | 18 October 2024 |
| Scheme Meeting | 19 November 2024 |
