Urano and Pegasus Receive Shareholder and Court Approval for Acquisitions by Aero; Name Change to Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. Effective May 7, 2026
Consolidation of Three Uranium Entities into MANU Removes Legal Hurdles but Dilution and Integration Risks Remain

Executive Summary
- Aero Energy Limited received shareholder and court approval to acquire Urano Energy Corp. and Pegasus Resources Inc. via plans of arrangement.
- The Supreme Court of British Columbia granted the final order on May 4, 2026.
- Closing is expected on or about May 7, 2026.
- Aero Energy Limited will change its name to Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. and trade under ticker symbol MANU on the TSX Venture Exchange.
- Urano shareholder approval was 99.91% in favor; Pegasus shareholder approval was 98.21% in favor.
- The transaction consolidates three entities into a single platform with a portfolio of past-producing uranium mines and Athabasca Basin assets.
Material Impact
- Expected Milestone: This news confirms the final legal step for the M&A deal announced on March 2, 2026. Since the terms were public months ago, the market likely anticipated this approval.
- Risk Mitigation: Court approval removes significant execution risk associated with the transaction structure and shareholder voting.
- Liquidity Change: The creation of a new ticker (MANU) may improve liquidity compared to smaller individual entities, though trading volume will depend on investor interest in the combined platform.
- Capital Deployment: The $10.5 million financing closed March 31 is now fully allocated toward advancing the portfolio and repaying bridge loans as planned.
- Rating Justification: Classified as Routine - Positive because the core value proposition (the deal structure) was priced in during the March announcement; this news validates execution rather than introducing new fundamental upside.
