Under the terms of the agreement effective September 18, 2026, North Star will handle shareholder outreach and media relations for a monthly retainer of CAD $10,000. The contract, which runs for an initial one-year term, remains subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. North Star, led by Graham Farrell, operates at arm's length from the company and held no enCore equity when the deal was finalized.

Simultaneously, enCore is moving forward with the special dividend of Verdera Energy stock. Shareholders of record as of September 25, 2026, are slated to receive approximately 0.18 Verdera shares for every enCore share held. The distribution is scheduled for September 30, pending final regulatory clearances from the Nasdaq Capital Market and the TSX Venture Exchange. This corporate restructuring follows enCore's ongoing focus on uranium extraction operations in Texas, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
