VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdera Energy Corp. (TSXV: V) (OTCQB: VUECF) ("Verdera" or the "Company") announces today its intention to effect a normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB") through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Company also announces it will host a conference call and webcast at 11:30 AM ET on Monday, September 28, 2026, to update Verdera and enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) ("enCore") shareholders in advance of the planned distribution of Verdera shares to enCore shareholders.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
The Company may, during the 12-month period commencing September 29, 2026 and ending September 28, 2027, purchase on the TSXV up to 3,793,152 of its common shares in total, representing approximately 10% of the Company's public float and approximately 5% of the 75,782,993 common shares issued and outstanding as of September 23, 2026. Purchases will be conducted on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV at prevailing market prices at the time of acquisition, subject to the pricing limitations set out in TSX Venture Exchange policies.

The Company may suspend or terminate purchases at any time. The Company has not purchased any of its common shares within the past 12 months. Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the NCIB will be cancelled.
