• Waiver of Nasdaq Dilution Rule

  Blue Gold Ltd. will follow Cayman Islands home country practice, exempting it from Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). This rule typically requires shareholder approval for issuing securities equal to 20% or more of outstanding shares at a price below market/book value. This means the company can issue significant amounts of new shares without shareholder consent.

• Chief Operating Officer Resigns

  Gus Gomes, who was appointed COO on April 21, 2026, has resigned from his position, effective July 26, 2026. He will transition to the company's advisory board. The company stated the resignation was not due to any disagreement.

Blue Gold Ltd. has elected to bypass a key Nasdaq rule (5635(d)) that typically requires shareholder approval for significant dilutive stock issuances (20% or more of outstanding shares at a discount). This decision, enabled by following Cayman Islands home country practice, removes a critical protection for existing shareholders against future dilution. Given the company's recent 'going concern' warning and history of highly dilutive financing, this move significantly increases the risk of further value erosion without investor consent, especially as the stock trades near its 52-week low. Additionally, the Chief Operating Officer, Gus Gomes, has resigned just two months after his appointment, signaling potential instability within the executive team despite the company's statement of no disagreement.
