Draganfly Announces Effective Date of Share Consolidation

08/23/2024

Vancouver, BC., Aug. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer, announces that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (“Common Shares”) on the basis of one post-consolidated Common Share for every 25 pre-consolidated Common Shares (the “Consolidation”). The Consolidation is being implemented to ensure that the Company complies with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq.

The Board has set September 3, 2024 as the effective date of the Consolidation and expects the Common Shares to trade on a post-consolidated basis at market open on September 3, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), subject to final confirmation from the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and the Nasdaq. Upon completion of the Consolidation, the CUSIP and ISIN of the Common Shares will be changed to 26142Q304 and CA26142Q3044 respectively. The Company’s name and stock symbols will remain unchanged upon completion of the Consolidation.

After giving effect to the Consolidation, the Common Shares will be reduced from 87,166,435 to 3,486,658 Common Shares. No fractional Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation and any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The exercise price and/or conversion price and number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted in connection with the Consolidation.

Shareholders of record as of the Effective Date will receive a letter of transmittal from Endeavour Trust Corporation, the Company’s registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares, providing instructions for the exchange of their Common Shares as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the letter of transmittal by accessing the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company’s EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov. Until surrendered, each share certificate or direct registration system statement representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole Common Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Beneficial holders who hold their Common Shares through intermediaries (e.g., a broker, bank, trust company investment dealer or other financial institution) and who have questions regarding how the Consolidation will be processed should contact their intermediaries with respect to the Consolidation.
