As part of the Transaction:
-
the authorized share structure of the Company was deemed to be reorganized and the Notice of Articles and Articles of the Company were deemed to be amended (the "Capital Reorganization") as follows:
-
all of the issued and unissued common shares of World Copper (each, a "World Copper Share") were renamed and redesignated as "World Copper Class A Shares" with new rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions; and
-
a new class of shares consisting of an unlimited number of common shares of the Company without par value referred to as the "New World Copper Shares" were created (each, a "New World Copper Share") with rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions identical to those of the World Copper Shares immediately prior to the Transaction becoming effective;
-
each World Copper Class A Share that was issued and outstanding immediately following the Capital Reorganization was deemed to be exchanged (the "World Copper Share Exchange") for (i) one New World Copper Share; and (ii) approximately 0.1248 of an Edge Copper Share (the "Exchange Ratio"), on a post-Consolidation basis; and
-
following the World Copper Share Exchange, all of the issued World Copper Shares were cancelled, and the authorized share structure was amended by deleting the World Copper Class A Shares and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached thereto.
As a result of the World Copper Share Exchange, trading in the World Copper Shares was halted, pending delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") at the close of business on October 30, 2025. The New World Copper Shares were listed and commenced trading on the TSXV at the market opening on October 31, 2025 with the CUSIP and ISIN numbers 98144X108 and CA98144X1087, respectively.
Under the Transaction, holders of World Copper warrants received replacement warrants to acquire, in lieu of one World Copper Share for each World Copper warrant, a fraction of an Edge Copper Share determined on the basis of the Exchange Ratio (the "Edge Copper Replacement Warrants"). The Edge Copper Replacement Warrants are exercisable until their respective expiry dates and feature terms that are otherwise the same as the terms of the World Copper warrants in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, subject to adjustments corresponding to the Exchange Ratio. In addition, under the Transaction, certain holders of World Copper options received replacement options to acquire, in lieu of one World Copper Share for each World Copper option, a fraction of an Edge Copper Share determined on the basis of the Exchange Ratio (the "Edge Copper Replacement Options"). The Edge Copper Replacement Options are exercisable until the earlier of their respective expiry dates and 15 months from closing, and feature terms that are otherwise the same as the terms of the World Copper options in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction.
In connection with the Transaction, Edge Copper provided bridge financing to World Copper pursuant to the terms of a bridge loan agreement dated July 22, 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000 (the "Bridge Loan"). Advances of the Bridge Loan were made in two tranches
