ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (Nasdaq: AUGO) (TSX: ORA) (B3: AURA33) ("Aura" or the "Company") announces its intention to commence an application for a voluntary delisting (the "Delisting") of its common shares (each a "Common Share") from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Delisting and proposed timing of the Delisting remain subject to: (i) review and approval from the TSX, and (ii) approval by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ("CVM") in Brazil for the change of the underlying securities of the Company's BDRs from Common Shares held on CDS on TSX to Common Shares listed on Nasdaq.
Aura has decided to pursue the Delisting of the Common Shares from the TSX following the completion of listing its Common Shares on Nasdaq on July 16th, 2025, and its intention to consolidate the trading in the U.S. equity market, which the Company expects will improve its stock liquidity. The decision for the Delisting has also taken into consideration, among other things, the ongoing fees and expenses associated with maintaining a TSX listing and the availability of an alternative market for the Common Shares on Nasdaq. The Company will provide further details, including the anticipated effective date of the Delisting and any relevant approvals, in a subsequent news release as soon as such information becomes available. Also, the Company reaffirms that this change will not affect the rights of holders of BDRs listed on B3, which will continue to be supported by Common Shares, now listed on Nasdaq, subject to CVM approval.
