Gold Reserve Announces Completion of Return of Capital Transaction

Gold Reserve Inc. (TSXV: GRZ) (OTCQX: GDRZF) (“Gold Reserve” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce today the completion of the previously announced return of capital transaction (the “Return of Capital Transaction”) by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to which Gold Reserve will return to holders (the “Shareholders”) of its Class A common shares (the “Class A Shares”) approximately US$75 million or approximately US$0.76 per Class A Share. The Arrangement was made effective at 12:01 (Pacific time) on June 14, 2019 (the “Effective Time”). Shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 13, 2019 are entitled to receive the distribution payable pursuant to the Return of Capital Transaction.

The completion of the Return of Capital Transaction follows the approval of the Return of Capital Transaction by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general and special meeting and the Company’s receipt of the final order of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, both of which were obtained on June 13, 2019.

Registered Shareholders (those generally holding shares in their name) are required to deposit certificates representing Class A Shares together with a duly completed letter of transmittal to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”), the Company’s transfer agent and depositary for the Return of Capital Transaction, in order to receive the distribution payable pursuant to the Return of Capital Transaction. Non-registered Shareholders (generally those whose shares are held in brokerage accounts) will have the distribution payable pursuant to the Return of Capital Transaction recorded in their accounts by their intermediaries and should contact their intermediaries with any questions about this process. Shareholders whose certificates representing Class A Shares were received by Computershare prior to the Effective Time are expected to receive the distribution payable pursuant to the Return of Capital Transaction on or about June 19, 2019.

Full details of the Return of Capital Transaction are described in the Company’s management proxy circular and other related materials. Those documents are available without charge on SEDAR at and on EDGAR at and are posted on the Company’s website at .
