Deadline for Accepting Nordgold’s On-Market Takeover Bid

London, United Kingdom, 21 December 2020 — Nord Gold S.E. (“Nordgold” or the “Company”) reminds shareholders that its on-market takeover offer for all shares in Cardinal Resources Limited (“Cardinal”) will close at the close of trading on ASX on Wednesday 23 December 2020. Shareholders who want to benefit from Nordgold’s prompt payment terms (two trading days after selling to Nordgold) must sell their shares on-market before Nordgold’s offer closes.

On 23 November 2020, Nordgold lodged with ASIC a form of off-market takeover bidder’s statement. Nordgold will not be dispatching the bidder’s statement to Cardinal shareholders because relevant circumstances have changed materially since Nordgold announced its intention to make an off-market bid on the same terms as its on-market bid, and Nordgold does not see any prospect of the Cardinal Board recommending its takeover offers or treating its offers equally with Shandong’s offer at the same price.
