These recommendations align with the unanimous support of Lomiko's Board of Directors. The Company also confirmed that all government and legal pre-clearance requirements related to its grants and contribution agreement have been completed with no objections. The special meeting of shareholders is scheduled for September 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Vancouver time, with the proxy deadline set for September 21, 2026.
