New 2026 Stock and Incentive Plan
The company proposes a new incentive plan reserving 21,559,055 common shares for awards, representing approximately 5% potential dilution based on current outstanding shares. This plan is designed to attract and retain employees, officers, and directors.

Analysis · LCGMF · Energy & Transportation
Lion Copper & Gold Corp. is seeking shareholder approval for a significant reverse stock split, ranging from 1:20 to 1:30, primarily to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement for a potential uplisting. While a Nasdaq listing could enhance liquidity and access to capital, reverse splits are often viewed negatively by the market as they do not change the underlying value of the company. Shareholders will also vote on a new 2026 Stock and Incentive Plan, which could result in approximately 5% dilution to existing shareholders, a common but notable impact for employee compensation. The company also proposes to change its name to Lion Copper Corp. and amend its articles to increase the quorum requirement, both in connection with the Nasdaq listing efforts. This filing follows the recent appointment of Maria Milagros Paredes as CFO, whose compensation details are now provided.
At the time of this filing, LCGMF was trading at $0.18 on OTC in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $78M. The 52-week trading range was $0.08 to $0.33. This filing was assessed with neutral market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10.
