Cygnus Metals Limited (ASX: CY5; TSXV: CYG; OTCQB: CYGGF) (Cygnus or the Company) provides the following update in relation to its scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) relating to the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Cygnus by Central Asia Metals PLC (AIM: CAML) (CAML) (Scheme).

Capitalised terms in this announcement that are not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Scheme Booklet dated 13 August 2026.

Cygnus advises that the Scheme, which was approved by the requisite majorities of Cygnus Shareholders on Friday, 18 September 2026 and the Supreme Court of Western Australia on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, has now been implemented. CAML is now the holder of all issued and outstanding Cygnus Shares.

Scheme Consideration

All Cygnus Shares have now been transferred to CAML under the Scheme.

In accordance with the terms of the Scheme, Scheme Shareholders (other than Sale Facility Participants) have today been issued the Scheme Consideration of 0.06 New CAML Shares for each Cygnus Share they held at 5:00pm (AWST) on Monday, 19 October 2026 (being the Scheme Record Date).

Sale Facility

New CAML Shares that would otherwise have been issued to Sale Facility Participants (being Ineligible Foreign Shareholders, Electing Selling Scheme Shareholders and, in respect of FRCGW Consideration Shares, FRCGW Holders) have been issued to the Sale Agent. The Sale Agent will sell those New CAML Shares on AIM as soon as reasonably practicable and remit the net proceeds to the relevant Sale Facility Participants in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.
