APEX CRITICAL METALS CORP. ANNOUNCES FORWARD SHARE SPLIT

Apex Critical Metals Corp. is undertaking a forward split of all of its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of 1.5 new common shares for one old common share. All shareholders of record on Nov. 7, 2024, will be entitled to receive one-half of one additional common share pursuant to the forward split. The company proposed the forward split to increase the liquidity and marketability of the common shares.

As per Canadian Securities Exchange policy, the forward split will be conducted on a pushout basis, and therefore, the Cusip number for the common shares will remain unchanged. Direct registration system statements for the additional one-half of one common share resulting from the forward split will be mailed to the shareholders as of the record date by the company's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company. Shareholders of the company do not need to take any action with respect to the forward split. The forward split will not materially affect the percentage ownership in the company of shareholders even though such ownership will be represented by a larger number of common shares.

The company currently has 28,439,594 common shares issued and outstanding. Upon completion of the forward split, the company will have approximately 42,659,391 common shares outstanding. The common shares will begin trading on a post-forward-split basis under the existing stock trading symbol APXC, effective at the opening of markets on Nov. 6, 2024. The forward split remains subject to the approval of the CSE.

Outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants will also be adjusted by the forward split ratio, and the respective exercise prices of outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants will be adjusted accordingly.
