VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(OTCQB:APXCF) ("Apex" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a forward split of all of its issued and outstanding shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one and one-half (1.5) new Common Shares for one (1) old Common Share (1.5:1) (the "Forward Split"). All shareholders of record on November 7, 2024 will be entitled to receive one half of one (.5) additional Common Share pursuant to the Forward Split (the "Record Date"). The Company proposed the Forward Split to increase the liquidity and marketability of the Common Shares.

As per Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") policy, the Forward Split will be conducted on a "push-out" basis and therefore the CUSIP number for the Common Shares will remain unchanged. DRS 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 November 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.
