Star Metro - Tactical Resources Announces Receipt Of Final Order Approving Arrangement With Plum Acquisition Corp. III

The Company sought a final order of the Court on December 18, 2025 to approve the Arrangement, following the overwhelming approval of the Arrangement by holders ("Shareholders") of common shares in the capital of Tactical ("Tactical Shares") at the Company's annual general and special meeting of Shareholders held on December 16, 2025 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, approximately 99.979% of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by proxy (approximately 99.978% after excluding Tactical Shares required to be excluded under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) were voted in favour of the special resolution approving the Arrangement (the "Arrangement Resolution").

Pursuant to the business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") dated August 22, 2024, as amended on December 10, 2024, January 28, 2025 and July 30, 2025, Plum will redomicile and continue into the Province of British Columbia from the Cayman Islands and amalgamate with PubCo (the "SPAC Amalgamation") to form one corporate entity ("New PubCo"). Immediately following the SPAC Amalgamation, Amalco will amalgamate with Tactical (the "Company Amalgamation") to form one corporate entity, such that, following, and as a result of, the Company Amalgamation, Tactical will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New PubCo, which will be renamed "Tactical Resources Corp." or such other name as may be agreed to between the Parties.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Parties have applied to list the common shares of New PubCo ("New PubCo Common Shares") on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ"), with such listing anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2026 subject to the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements and receipt of all necessary approvals.

Under the Business Combination, Tactical Shares will be exchanged for New PubCo Common Shares pursuant to an exchange ratio to be determined at closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination ("Closing"). A portion of the New PubCo Common Shares to be issued to Shareholders will be subject to transfer restrictions for a period of six months following Closing (the "Transfer Restrictions"). The Transfer Restrictions will affect between 80% and 85% of the New PubCo Common Shares and are intended to permit New PubCo to satisfy applicable listing standards of NASDAQ, with the final percentage to be determined by the Board of Directors of Tactical and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature and the approval for listing of the New PubCo Common Shares on NASDAQ. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent, it is expected that the Arrangement will be completed in the first quarter of 2026. Following completion of the Arrangement, it is expected that the Tactical Shares will be delisted from the TSXV Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), subject to the final approval of the TSXV, and Tactical intends to apply to cease to be a reporting issuer in all applicable jurisdictions in Canada.
