Snow Lake Advances Towards Completion of the Acquisition of Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited Ready to Announce with Confidence?
Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - February 3, 2026) - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ: LITM) ("Snow Lake"), a nuclear fuel cycle company, announces that its acquisition (the "Acquisition") of Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited ("GUE") is advancing towards closing after receipt of all required shareholder and court approvals.
Acquisition of Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited
In October 2025, Snow Lake and GUE entered into an agreement pursuant to which Snow Lake agreed to acquire all of the ordinary shares of GUE that it did not currently own, in consideration of Snow Lake issuing new Snow Lake shares by way of a share scheme of arrangement (the "Share Scheme") and an option scheme of arrangement (the "Option Scheme"), respectively, under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ("Corporations Act") (together, the "Schemes").
Snow Lake CEO Remarks
"With the GUE Scheme meetings overwhelmingly approving the Schemes for Snow Lake to acquire GUE, and the Federal Court of Australia approving the transaction, we are now focused on completing this acquisition by mid-February 2026" said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake.
"We look forward to welcoming all GUE shareholders as new Snow Lake shareholders, as we continue aggressively implementing our strategy to develop capabilities across the nuclear fuel cycle" Mr. Wheatley continued.
GUE Scheme Meetings
At the GUE Scheme Meetings held on January 27, 2026:
Details of the valid proxies received and votes cast at the Share Scheme Meeting and Option Scheme Meeting (as applicable) are set out in the attachment to GUE's ASX announcement of January 27, 2026 [1]. Each of the Share Scheme Resolution and Option Scheme Resolution were passed by the requisite majorities.
Results of the Second Hearing of the Federal Court of Australia
On February 3, 2026, the Federal Court of Australia (the "Court") made orders approving the Share Scheme and Option Scheme, subject to certain amendments to the Share Scheme and Option Scheme described below.
GUE will lodge an office copy of the Court's orders with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at which time the Schemes will become legally Effective. GUE expects that Australian Stock Exchange (the "ASX") will suspend GUE Shares from trading on ASX with effect from the close of trading on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
Timetable and Next Steps
The key dates and times for implementation of the Schemes are as follows:
Note: All stated dates and times are indicative only. Any changes to the above timetable will be announced to ASX and will be available under GUE's profile on ASX at https://www.asx.com.au
Amendments to the Schemes and Condition Subsequent
Clause 3.1(f) of the Scheme Implementation Deed required as a condition precedent to the Share Scheme that "Approval for listing and trading on Nasdaq: the New Snow Lake Shares (to be issued as the Share Scheme Consideration) have been approved for listing and trading on Nasdaq". Snow Lake was responsible for the satisfaction of this condition precedent. In applying for this approval, Snow Lake was informed by Nasdaq that it would only be required to notify Nasdaq of the Schemes and proposed issuance of New Snow Lake Shares, with no formal Nasdaq approval requirement. Snow Lake was also informed that Nasdaq will only review the notification after the Effective Date.
Given the above, the Share Scheme and Option Scheme have been amended such that the above condition precedent to the Share Scheme is amended to a condition subsequent to the Schemes, with the approval modified to a Nasdaq notification requirement. Refer to the amended Share Scheme and amended Option Scheme attached to GUE's ASX announcement of February 3, 2026 (as Annexures A and B respectively) for further details [2].
If the condition subsequent is satisfied by the date that is 15 Business Days after the Effective Date (the "Condition Subsequent End Date"), the Share Scheme and Option Scheme will be implemented. If the condition subsequent is not satisfied by the Condition Subsequent End Date, the Share Scheme and Option Scheme will not proceed.
Snow Lake and GUE are confident that the condition subsequent will be satisfied.
