LONDON, Ontario, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: ACT) (FSE: 9D5), a clean technology company using the power of chemistry to transform lower value feedstocks, like waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils, into resources for the 21st century, today announced that, further to its previous announcement dated June 10, 2026 of a non-brokered private placement of up to 471,698 common shares (the “Offered Shares”) at a price of $15.20 (C$21.20) per Offered Share for gross proceeds of up to US$7,169,810 (C$9,999,734)(the “LIFE Offering”), the Company has filed an amended and restated offering document (the “Amended and Restated LIFE Offering Document”) following the completion of its underwritten public offering as announced on June 11, 2026 (the “Public Offering”) in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The LIFE Offering is expected to close on or about June 19, 2026 or such other date as the Company may determine, subject to applicable securities and the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). All other terms of the LIFE Offering remain unchanged from those previously disclosed in the Company’s previous announcement dated June 10, 2026.
The Amended and Restated LIFE Offering Document is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.adurocleantech.com. Prospective investors should read the Amended and Restated LIFE Offering Document before making an investment decision.
The Company anticipates that directors and/or officers of the Company may participate in the LIFE Offering, however, there is no such commitment or agreement in place with any director or officer of the Company at this time. Any participation in the LIFE Offering by insiders constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). However, the Company expects to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact neither the fair market value of the LIFE Shares subscribed for by the insiders (if any), nor the consideration for the LIFE Shares paid by such insiders, would exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization as at the date of this press release.
The Company is relying on the exemption set forth in Section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual in connection with the LIFE Offering, which provides that the TSX will not apply certain standards to certain transactions involving eligible interlisted issuers on a recognized exchange. The TSX has conditionally approved the LIFE Offering. Final approval of the LIFE Offering by the TSX remains subject to the completion of customary conditions by the Company.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
All amounts in this press release are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. All foreign exchange calculations set forth in this press release is based on the exchange rate posted by the Bank of Canada on June 9, 2026, of US$1 = C$1.3947.
