AAUC · Allied Gold Corporation

Allied Gold Corporation's shareholders overwhelmingly approved the previously announced plan of arrangement with Zijin Gold International Company Limited at a special meeting on March 31, 2026, with 99.54% of votes cast in favor, representing 76,206,335 common shares out of 76,556,033 cast, or 61.14% of total issued and outstanding shares. Even excluding votes from interested persons as required by securities laws, approval stood at 99.42% (59,621,291 shares), signaling strong investor support for the Transaction. This approval is a critical milestone, clearing the shareholder condition precedent. The Company plans to seek a final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on April 2, 2026, after which Zijin Gold must secure remaining regulatory approvals. Completion remains subject to these conditions, with risks including court denial, regulatory delays, or market volatility in Allied Gold shares. For investors, this advances the strategic combination, positioning Allied's African gold assets under Zijin Gold's portfolio, though forward-looking statements highlight uncertainties in timing and execution.
