First Nordic Metals Corp. and Mawson Finland Limited have entered into a definitive agreement under which First Nordic will acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of Mawson. As part of the arrangement, First Nordic recently closed an $80 million financing through a brokered and non-brokered offering of subscription receipts at $0.38 each. Upon completion of the transaction, each subscription receipt will convert into one common share of the combined entity, NordCo Gold, following a planned 4:1 share consolidation by First Nordic. The transaction is expected to close in December 2025, subject to approval by Mawson shareholders and other customary conditions. Following the closing, NordCo Gold is expected to be well-capitalized to advance First Nordic's Barsele project and Mawson's Rajapalot project.
