April 29, 2020 – Vancouver, B.C. – Solaris Resources Inc. (“Solaris” or the “Company”) announces its intention to consolidate its common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of 1 post-consolidation Common Share for 2 pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). 

As part of the Consolidation, the 123,647,377 Common Shares currently issued and outstanding will be reduced to 61,823,688 post-consolidation Common Shares. No fractional shares will be issued under the Consolidation. Each fractional share following the Consolidation that is less than one-half of one share will be cancelled and each fractional share that is at least one-half of one share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The exercise price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities such as stock options, restricted share units and warrants, as applicable, will be proportionately adjusted upon completion of the Consolidation. The CUSIP and ISIN numbers of the post-Consolidation Common Shares will also change upon the completion of the Consolidation. The Consolidation is anticipated to become effective on or about May 1, 2020.

On the effective date of Consolidation, the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, will send a letter of transmittal to registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the certificates evidencing their Common Shares for replacement certificates representing the number of post-consolidation Common Shares to which they are entitled. Until surrendered, each certificate representing Common Shares prior to the Consolidation will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Common Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Shareholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.
