Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2025) - PTX Metals Inc. (CSE: PTX) (OTCQB: PANXF) (FSE: 9PX) ("PTX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the listing of its common shares as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer (the "Listing"). The Listing remains subject to the Company meeting certain standard conditions required by the TSXV, which the Company is actively working to satisfy. A further press release will be issued upon receipt of final approval.
In connection with the Listing, the Company intends to voluntarily delist its common shares from the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") (the "Delisting"). The Delisting is subject to the applicable requirements of the CSE and is expected to take effect once trading of the Company's common shares begins on the TSXV.
The Company will provide an update confirming the expected Listing date on the TSXV and the Delisting date from the CSE, once determined.
"The CSE has been a great platform for the Company, and we appreciate the support we have received. However, we have listened to feedback from our stakeholders and believe that listing on the TSXV will better align with our long-term growth strategy while facilitating further investment and trading by our institutional, European, and US stakeholders," said Greg Ferron, President and CEO of PTX.
Additionally, the Company is pleased to provide an update on the results of its annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on February 25, 2025 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company re-elected James R. Trusler, Frederico Marques, Christophe Vereecke, Greg Ferron, Sam Kiri, Rajesh Sharma, and Jean-David Moore to the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), and re-appointed Baker Tilly WM LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as the auditor of the Company.
Furthermore, shareholders of the Company also approved the adoption of an omnibus long-term incentive plan (the "Omnibus Plan"), effective as of February 25, 2025. The Omnibus Plan replaces the Company's "rolling" stock option plan (the "Option Plan"), which reserved a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from time to time for issuance upon the exercise of options. Under the Omnibus Plan, in addition to those awards and options granted under the former plan, restricted share units and performance share units will now also be granted, all governed by a single plan document. The Board is of the view that the Omnibus Plan will allow different types of incentives to be granted to certain officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company.
Further information regarding the Omnibus Plan can be found in the Company's management information circular dated January 13, 2025, filed under its SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
