LUCARA SHARE CAPITAL AND VOTING RIGHTS UPDATE

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (TSX: LUC) (BSE: LUC) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUC) View PDF version

Lucara Diamond Corp. ("Lucara" or the "Company") reports the following in accordance with the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act: 

The number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company has decreased to 451,173,948 common shares with voting rights as of October 31, 2024. The decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares from October 1, 2024 to date is largely due to the return to treasury and cancellation of the 10,000,000 shares received as partial consideration for the sale of Lucara's interest in the Clara Rough Diamond Sales Platform on October 6, 2024 (link to news release). The decrease was offset by an issuance of the Company of 675,000 common shares in accordance with its debenture as described in the news release from November 15, 2023 (link to news release), as well as the vesting of employee share units.

The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 451,173,948. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act on disclosure of major shareholdings (Transparency Rules).

On behalf of the Board,

William Lamb
President and Chief Executive Officer
