HIGHWAY 50 GOLD ANNOUNCES SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Vancouver, British Columbia – Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSX.V – HWY)
January 13, 2025
Highway 50 Gold Corp. (the “Company”) announces a consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of the
common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company on a two-to-one (2:1) basis. The Company currently has
46,341,214 Shares outstanding and if completed, the Consolidation would reduce the issued and
outstanding Shares to approximately 23,170,607 Shares, subject to rounding. No fractional post -
Consolidation Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation. Any fractional Shares equal to or
greater than one-half resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded up to the next whole number of
Shares, and any fractional Shares less than one-half resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded
down to the nearest whole number.
The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) believe that the Consolidation will provide the
Company with greater flexibility for the continued development of its business and the growth of the
Company, including financing arrangements.
The exercise price and the number of Shares issuable under the Company's outstanding stock options
and common share purchase warrants will be proportionately adjusted upon completion of the
Consolidation.
The Consolidation is subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval. Under the Articles of the
Company, a consolidation may be implemented by the Board without shareholder approval. As such, the
Consolidation is not subject to shareholder approval. The Company will announce the effective date of
the Consolidation, as well as the new CUSIP/ISIN numbers for the post-Consolidation Shares by way of
a future news release. The post-Consolidation Shares will continue to trade on the TSXV under the
Company’s existing name and trading symbol.
Shareholders who have deposited their Shares into brokerage accounts are not required to take any action
to effect an exchange of their Shares.
Registered shareholders with physical certificates will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare
Trust Company of Canada, the Company's transfer agent. The letter of transmittal will contain
instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates representing pre -
Consolidation Shares for new certificates representing post-Consolidation Shares. Until surrendered,
each share certificate representing pre-Consolidation Shares will represent the number of whole post-
Consolidation Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
