Pasofino Gold Limited (TSXV: VEIN) (OTCQB: EFRGF) announced the termination of its shareholder rights plan agreement with Computershare Investor Services Inc. The termination occurred on May 1, 2025, as the company failed to obtain the required shareholder approval within the six-month deadline from the plan's effective date. According to TSX Venture Exchange Policy 3.1, the Rights Plan needed majority approval from voting shareholders. As a result, all outstanding rights under the plan have ceased to represent any entitlements, including the right to acquire company common shares. All certificates, statements, or instruments previously evidencing these rights are now void and unenforceable.
