Incentive Program for the Conversion of BDRs into Shares

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUGO; B3: AURA33) (“Aura” ou “Companhia”) Announces to the holders of the Company’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts ("BDRs") the launch of the Incentive Program for the conversion of BDRs into common shares (“Incentive Program”), under which holders may request the conversion of their BDRs (“AURA33”) into the underlying common shares (“AUGO”) listed on Nasdaq (“common shares”), at a ratio of three to one, without being required to pay the applicable fees charged by Banco Bradesco. The Incentive Program will be available for a fixed period of 32 days, from October 6, 2025, to November 6, 2025 (“Subsidy Period”).

Information Regarding the Incentive Program:

(i) Each BDR holder is entitled to submit only one conversion request, regardless of the number of BDRs included in that request. Once the conversion is completed, any subsequent conversions will be at the sole responsibility and expense of the holder.

(ii) One common share is equivalent to three BDRs, and therefore the conversion must comply with this ratio.

(iii) The request must be submitted during the Subsidy Period, that is, between October 6, 2025, and November 6, 2025.

(iv) Aura will cover the conversion fees charged by Banco Bradesco on behalf of the shareholders, provided that the conditions mentioned above are met.

(v) The Company shall not be held responsible for the procedures to be undertaken by holders for the conversion of their BDRs into common shares. It is the sole responsibility of each holder to instruct their brokers, both in Brazil and abroad, to properly follow the required procedures for converting BDRs into common shares.

This program is part of Aura’s strategy to consolidate and increase the trading of its shares on Nasdaq and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial performance.
