Erdene Resource Development Corp. Announces Share Consolidation
Erdene Resource Development Corp. (TSX: ERD; MSE: ERDN; OTCQB: ERDCF) is excited to share significant information regarding its plans for a share consolidation. This vital step has been approved during a recent shareholder meeting, aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing the company’s market position.
Details of the Share Consolidation
The proposed consolidation, often referred to as the "Consolidation," will transition from six shares to a single share effective on a specified date, pending necessary regulatory approvals. The decision comes after careful consideration by the company's Board of Directors, aimed at increasing the company’s attractiveness to investors and simplifying its share structure.
Trading Adjustments During Consolidation
For shareholders, it's essential to note that the trading of common shares on specific exchanges will momentarily halt while others continue uninterrupted. Trading on the Mongolian Stock Exchange will cease shortly before the consolidation takes effect, but activity on the Toronto Stock Exchange remains active for the time being.

Once the consolidation is complete, the company expects approximately 61 million Common Shares to be outstanding, a significant reduction from more than 366 million. This step not only helps to stabilize stock prices but also sets the stage for future investments and growth strategies.
Shareholder Instructions and Next Steps
Registered shareholders will receive a letter detailing how to exchange their existing shares for new ones accurately reflecting the consolidation. This letter will include clear instructions and information on obtaining new share certificates or DRS Advice/Statements. Notably, beneficial shareholders will not need to take action, as their holdings will automatically adjust post-consolidation.
