TORONTO, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dundee Corporation (TSX: DC.A) (“Dundee” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced sale (the “Sale Transaction”) of 24,480,000 units (the “Units”) of New Found Gold Corp. (“New Found”) to qualified purchasers for gross proceeds to Dundee of C$97,920,000 (see press release dated December 8, 2025). The Units were sold through BMO Capital Markets Inc. and SCP Resource Finance LP.

Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of New Found (a “Unit Share”) and one-half (0.5) of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one (1) additional common share of New Found owned by Dundee (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$5.00 for a term of 12 months. In the event that all Warrants are exercised, the total gross proceeds to Dundee would be C$159,120,000.

In Canada, the sale of the Unit Shares was made through block trades on December 8, 2025 and the sale of the Warrants was made on a private placement basis. In the United States and certain offshore jurisdictions, the sale of both the Unit Shares and the Warrants was made on a private placement basis, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Warrants will be subject to a statutory hold period under, and will only be tradeable in accordance with, applicable securities laws, which statutory hold period expires on April 17, 2026. The Warrant Shares are not subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Please refer to the press release dated December 8, 2025 for the disclosure required under National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues in connection with the Sale Transaction.

The securities issued and sold under the Sale Transaction have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.
