LONDON, Ontario, July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. ("Aduro” or the "Company”) (CSE: ACT) (OTCQX: ACTHF) (FSE: 9D50), a Canadian technology company using the power of chemistry to transform lower value feedstocks, like waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils, into resources for the 21^st century, is pleased to announce that it has publicly filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) relating to a proposed initial public offering of its common shares in the United States (the "Offering”).

In connection with the Offering, Aduro has also applied to list its common shares on the NYSE American exchange ("NYSE”). The number of shares to be offered and the offering price for the Offering have not yet been determined. The Offering is expected to take place after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other customary conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, as to the actual size or terms of the Offering, or whether the common shares will be accepted for trading on the NYSE.

EF Hutton LLC is acting as sole book-running manager for proposed Offering.

The proposed Offering will be made pursuant to a prospectus. Copies of the preliminary prospectus related to the Offering, when available, may be obtained on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, or upon request from: EF Hutton LLC, 590 Madison Avenue, 39^th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

In addition to, and in preparation for, the new listing on NYSE, and subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE”), Aduro will undertake a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares at a consolidation ratio to be determined in the coming weeks.

A registration statement relating to the proposed Offering has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. Securities offered under the registration statement may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or 1933, as amended.

The common shares of the proposed Offering referenced above are not being offered to residents of Canada or persons in Canada. The common shares are being sold based on prospectus exemptions under applicable Canadian securities laws, and on the basis that the securities will not be distributed back into Canada.
