VAULT ANNOUNCES US SYMBOL CHANGE AND AGM RESULTS
Vancouver, British Columbia - January 9, 2026 – Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (TSXV:KNOX)
(OTC:DDIAF) (FSE:M85) ("VAULT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its common
shares will commence trading under its new OTC ticker symbol “KNXFF”, effective January 12th,
2026.
The change from the previous symbol “DDIAF” to “KNXFF” is part of the Company’s ongoing
efforts to align its U.S. market identity with its current corporate name and TSX Venture Exchange
ticker, “KNOX”.
No action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the ticker change. The Company’s
shares will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “KNOX”.
AGM Results
Furthermore, the Company is pleased to announce that the shareholders of the Company
provided approval of a new omnibus incentive plan (the " Omnibus Plan") at the Company’s
annual general meeting held on December 30, 2025 (the "Meeting"). All other matters advanced
at the Meeting, including setting the board at four members, re -election of directors, specifically,
R. Nick Horsley, Quinn Patrick Field -Dyte, Andreas Schleich and Daryn Gordon and the
appointment of Adam Sung Kim Ltd., Cha rtered Professional Accountants as auditor, were also
approved by the Company's shareholders.
The Company adopted the Omnibus Plan to provide more flexibility than that provided under the
previous stock option plan and restricted share unit plan of the Company (collectively, the
"Legacy Plans "). The Omnibus Plan provides the Company with a choice of options and
restricted share units. Like the Legacy Plans, the Equity Incentive Plan is a rolling plan which,
subject to the adjustment provisions provided for therein, provides that the aggregat e maximum
number of shares that may be issued upon the ex ercise or settlement of awards granted under
the Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
shares at the time of grant. The Omnibus Plan remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange (" TSXV") and must be re -approved by shareholders on an annual basis in
accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
A copy of the Omnibus Plan can be found in the management information circular of the Company
dated November 28, 2025 which is available under the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR+ at
