Corvus Gold Announces Intention to Delist from NASDAQ Capital Market

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) - (TSX: KOR, NASDAQ: KOR) announces that it has notified the NASDAQ of its intention to voluntarily delist all of its securities from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), assuming satisfaction of the closing conditions of the previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) between Corvus, 1323606 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, and AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc., including the approval of the Arrangement by, and the obtainment of the final order from, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and the successful completion of the transaction. Following the completion of the Arrangement, the Company will become a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Limited. The Company has submitted a notice to NASDAQ regarding its intention to delist, and, following closing of the Arrangement, will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 relating to the delisting of its common shares on or about January 18, 2022. The Company expects the delisting of its ordinary shares to become effective [10] days following the filing, or January 28, 2022. The anticipated effective date may be delayed if the SEC postpones the effectiveness of the application to delist for other reasons. Concurrent with the delisting from NASDAQ, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its common shares under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to suspend its reporting obligations with the SEC. The Company expects that its obligation to file reports with the SEC will be suspended immediately upon the filing of the Form 15. The Company reserves the right to delay the filing of the Form 25 or Form 15 or withdraw either form for any reason prior to their effectiveness.

As previously reported, shareholders and optionholders of Corvus voted overwhelmingly in favour of the resolution approving the Arrangement at the Company’s special meeting on January 6, 2022. Further information regarding the Arrangement is available in the proxy statement/management information circular (the “Circular”) of the Company dated November 25, 2021, and the voting results of the Arrangement are available on the Form 8-K filed on January 7, 2022, which are available under Corvus’ profile on both SEDAR and EDGAR.
