TORONTO, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centerra Gold Inc. (TSX: CG) (NYSE: CGAU) (“Centerra& or the “Company&) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX&) has accepted the renewal of its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB&) for an additional one-year period. The Company also announced that its Langeloth Metallurgical Facility (“Langeloth&) has entered into a new $75 million working capital credit facility.
Renewal of NCIB
The TSX has accepted Centerra&s renewal of an NCIB to purchase for cancellation up to 19,318,076 common shares of Centerra (“Common Shares&) during the twelve-month period commencing on November 10, 2026 and ending on November 9, 2027, which represents 10% of the public float. As of October 31, 2026, Centerra had 193,671,809 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
Under the NCIB, daily purchases would be limited to 167,484 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 669,937 Common Shares on the TSX from May 1, 2026 to October 31, 2026, except for purchases made under block purchase exemptions. Following activation of the NCIB, the exact timing and amount of any purchases will depend on market conditions and other factors. Centerra is under no obligation to purchase any Common Shares and may, at its discretion, suspend or discontinue purchases under the NCIB at any time. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be made at market price at the time of purchase through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE&) and/or alternative trading systems in Canada or the United States, if eligible, in compliance with applicable securities legislation and stock exchange rules. The Company&s previous NCIB authorized the purchase of up to 20,129,230 Common Shares and expires on November 9, 2026. As of October 31, 2026, a total of 8,970,800 Common Shares were purchased through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems at a volume weighted average price of $24.33 per Common Share under the Company&s previous NCIB.
On November 3, 2026, the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC&) granted Centerra exemptive relief allowing the Company to purchase up to 10% of its public float through the NYSE and other U.S.-based trading systems during the 12-month NCIB period, rather than being limited to purchasing 5% of its outstanding Common Shares at the beginning of the 12-month period. A copy of the OSC decision has been filed under Centerra&s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
In connection with the renewed NCIB, Centerra intends to establish an automatic share purchase plan based on Company instructions provided to the designated broker to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares during times when the Company would ordinarily be restricted from doing so due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed black-out periods. Centerra may, but is not required to, instruct its designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB based on parameters set by Centerra in accordance with the automatic share purchase plan, applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules.
Centerra believes that its Common Shares continue to trade within a price range which does not fully reflect the underlying value the Company&s assets or it&s future prospects. As a result, Centerra views the NCIB as a flexible tool to allocate a portion of its cash balance within its capital allocation framework to enable the Company to purchase Common Shares for cancellation while maintaining a robust balance sheet.
New Langeloth Working Capital Credit Facility
On November 4, 2026, Langeloth entered into a three-year, $75 million asset-based revolving credit facility with ING Capital LLC. The facility provides Langeloth with direct access to financing for working capital requirements, which fluctuate with molybdenum prices and volumes, reducing its reliance on funding from Centerra and enhancing the Company&s financial flexibility.
