Closing of Strategic Acquisitions, Total Voting Rights, and Notification of Transactions of Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities

In brief · summary, not quotable

Amaroq Ltd. has successfully closed two strategic acquisitions, Black Angel Mining A/S and the Kangerluarsuk licences, creating the West Greenland Hub. The company issued 7,654,222 shares to FBC Mining and 392,939 shares to 80 Mile plc as consideration. These acquisitions are considered related party transactions, but Amaroq is relying on exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements as the fair market value of the transactions does not exceed 25% of the company's market capitalization. Following these issuances and the allocation of 562,449 shares under incentive plans, Amaroq's total issued share capital now stands at 463,648,822 common shares. Trading admission for the newly issued shares on AIM and the Icelandic Exchange is expected on December 30, 2025.

Closing of Strategic Acquisitions, Total Voting Rights, and Notification of Transactions of Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMR)

TORONTO, ONTARIO – 23 December 2025 – Amaroq Ltd. (AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ, OTCQX: AMRQF), an independent mine development corporation focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced acquisitions of the entire issued share capital of Black Angel Mining A/S (“Black Angel”) from FBC Mining (BA) Limited (“FBC Mining”) and of the Kangerluarsuk licences from 80 Mile plc, (the “Acquisitions”) together creating the West Greenland Hub.

As consideration for the Acquisitions, the Company issued 7,654,222 common shares of the Company to FBC Mining (the “Black Angel Closing Shares”), and 392,939 common shares of the Company to 80 Mile plc (the “Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares”) (together the “Closing Shares”).

As previously announced, the acquisition of Black Angel represented a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), and is also considered a transaction with a Non-Arm’s Length Party within the meaning of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"), by virtue of the fact that the ultimate parent company of Black Angel, BAMAS ehf. (“BAMAS”), is controlled by certain directors of Amaroq.

Pursuant to MI 61-101, related party transactions require a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval unless exemptions from these requirements are available. With respect to the Black Angel acquisition, the Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalisation.

Following the issuance of the Closing Shares, the beneficial ownership in Amaroq shares of the directors who also hold an interest in FBC Mining will be as follows:

DirectorShares held (directly & indirectly)% of ISC
Eldur Olafsson16,031,6913.46
Sigurbjorn Thorkelsson13,616,1392.94
Graham Stewart2,982,5370.64

Application has been made for the admission (“Admission”) of the Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares to trading on (a) AIM; and (b) Icelandic Exchange. Admission is expected to take place on AIM at 8.00 a.m. GMT on 30 December 2025, on the Icelandic Exchange at 9.30 a.m. UTC on 30 December 2025. The listing of the Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares on the TSX-V remains subject to the final approval of the TSX-V.

The Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares were issued to persons outside of Canada pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements in Canada available under OSC Rule 72-503 – Distributions Outside Canada and, accordingly, the Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares are not subject to a four-month hold period in Canada.

The Company also confirms that an additional 562,449 common shares of the Company were issued under the Company’s share-based incentive plans. None of the shares issued under these plans were allocated to PDMRs.

Following the issue of common shares under the Company’s share-based incentive plans and the Closing Shares, the Company’s issued share capital will consist of 463,648,822 common shares of no par value, each carrying one voting right.

Given that the Company does not hold any common shares in treasury, this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in interest in, the share capital of the Company.
