Mineros Achieves DTC Eligibility, Broadening U.S. Investor Access and Share Liquidity
Mineros Aims to Enhance Liquidity and Market Accessibility for Investors
MEDELLIN, Colombia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 23, 2026--Mineros S.A. (TSX:MSA, OTCQX:MNSAF,
BVC:MINEROS) (“Mineros” or the “Company”) confirms that its common shares are now eligible for
electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
DTC eligibility streamlines the trading process, making it more efficient for investors and brokers. As a
subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), DTC handles electronic clearing and
settlement for publicly traded companies. With DTC eligibility, the Company’s shares can now be traded across
a wider network of brokerage firms, accelerating the settlement process and improving access for a broader
range of investors. This eligibility represents a central component of the Company’s capital markets strategy,
intended to modernize share transfer protocols and improve market efficiency for North American investors.
"Attaining DTC eligibility is a significant milestone in our efforts to broaden the Company’s investor base,"
stated Daniel Henao, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mineros. "By optimizing the electronic trading
environment, we are improving share accessibility and strengthening the liquidity profile of Mineros across
international public markets."
Strategic Implications for Shareholders
The transition to DTC eligibility removes the administrative requirements associated with the physical handling
of stock certificates, offering several institutional advantages:
Enhanced Liquidity: By enabling the seamless electronic execution of trades, the Company expects to
reduce transaction friction for brokerage firms.
Expanded Market Access: The simplified clearing process facilitates broader participation from both
institutional and retail investors within the United States.
Operational Efficiency: Electronic settlement standardizes the Company’s trading infrastructure in
alignment with global capital market benchmarks.
