Key Points

  • The court ruled on preliminary interpretative issues but reserved substantive matters for trial, maintaining the injunction against amending the Articles of Association.
  • Blue Gold remains focused on shareholder interests, exploring legal options including appeals while continuing core business operations in gold mining and tokenized gold sales.
  • The ongoing litigation and court ruling create uncertainty, but the company stresses commitment to transparency, sustainability, and delivering long-term shareholder value.

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) (Nasdaq: BGLWW) (“Blue Gold” or the “Company”), a gold mining company with the infrastructure to deliver gold from mine-to-wallet, today announced a ruling from the Financial Services Division of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Court”) addressing certain preliminary issues in ongoing litigation relating to the Company’s 2025 business combination with Perception Capital Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company.

The Court’s ruling provides clarification on the interpretation of the Company’s Articles of Association in the context of the business combination and confirms that any modification to the rights of the relevant shareholder class must be effected in accordance with the procedures set out in those Articles. The Court concluded that the proposed amendments cannot be implemented at this stage. As the decision addresses preliminary issues only, with a number of substantive matters reserved for determination at trial, the Court ordered that the existing interim injunction, which prevents the Company from proceeding with the EGM to alter its Articles of Association, remain in place pending final resolution of the outstanding matters at trial.

Andrew Cavaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold, commented, “We acknowledge the Court’s ruling and respect the legal process. While we are pleased to have clarity on certain interpretive matters relating to our Articles, this decision addresses only preliminary issues and does not resolve the broader dispute. Blue Gold remains committed to protecting the interests of all shareholders and maintaining orderly market conditions. We will continue to evaluate all available legal and strategic options as the case proceeds, including any appeal and/or stay of the Court's ruling on these preliminary issues.”

Next Steps
Several substantive matters remain to be determined at trial and Blue Gold will continue to engage constructively in the ongoing proceedings while remaining focused on executing its core business strategy and delivering long-term value for shareholders.
