The Final Prospectus qualifies the distribution of common shares of the Company (“Underlying Shares”) and common share purchase warrants of the Company (“Underlying Warrants”) issuable upon the conversion of previously issued subscription receipts of the Company (“Subscription Receipts”). The Subscription Receipts were originally sold pursuant to a “best efforts” brokered private placement (the “Offering”) led by Beacon Securities Limited., as lead agent and sole bookrunner, with a syndicate of agents that included ATB Capital Markets Corp., and Red Cloud Securities Inc. (the “Agents”), to raise gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $14.7 million. For more information regarding the Offering, please see the Company’s press release dated April 8, 2026. Effective on May 28, 2026, all 18,770,100 outstanding Subscription Receipts were automatically converted for no additional consideration, into an aggregate of 18,770,100 Underlying Shares and 9,385,050 Underlying Warrants. Each Underlying Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $1.20 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. All funds which were held in escrow in connection with the Offering were released to the Company in accordance with a subscription receipt agreement (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement”) dated April 8, 2026 among the Company, Beacon and Endeavor Trust Corporation (the “Subscription Receipt Agent”). Net proceeds received by the Company were $13,941,156. The Company now has 47,550,234 common shares issued and outstanding. Blue Jay has also received the conditional acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) to the listing of its common shares on the Exchange, subject to the satisfaction of standard listing conditions. Blue Jay has been approved for listing as a Tier 1 Mining issuer on the Exchange. Blue Jay expects that the common shares will be listed and begin trading on the Exchange under the symbol “JAY” on or about Thursday, June 4, 2026.
