NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES

TORONTO, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Matador Technologies Inc. (“Matador” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MATA, OTCQB: MATAF), a Bitcoin-focused technology company, is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement, pursuant to which it has issued an aggregate of 2,863,818 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.55 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$1,575,099 (the “Offering”).

Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.75 for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance.

The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause: in the event that the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) is equal to or exceeds $1.05 for five (5) consecutive trading days at any time following the date which is four months and one day after the closing date, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is thirty (30) days following the dissemination of a press release announcing such acceleration (the “Acceleration Provisions“).

The securities issued in connection with the first tranche of the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on September 27, 2025. In connection with the first tranche closing, the Company paid aggregate finders fees of $10,670 and issued an aggregate of 13,600 broker warrants to eligible finders, each broker warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at $0.75 for a period of one year, subject to the Acceleration Provisions.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be allocated approximately one-third to each of the following: (i) the purchase of Bitcoin; (ii) advancing the Company’s gold acquisition and Grammies business initiatives; and (iii) general corporate purposes.

Insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 418,182 Units in connection with the first tranche closing. Such participation is considered to be a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101-Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company has relied upon on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of all related party participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
