Ramm Pharma supplements information circular

RAMM · Price

Executive Summary

  • Ramm Pharma Corp. is supplementing its management information circular regarding a proposed $5 million USD investment in The Global South SAS, a private Uruguayan entity developing a BRICS-pegged stablecoin (GSDC).
  • The transaction is classified as a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 because The Global South SAS is wholly owned by Ramm Pharma’s CEO, Jackie Peter Burnett; consequently, minority shareholder approval is required at a special meeting scheduled for November 12, 2025.
  • Ramm Pharma will acquire a 10% equity stake in Global South for $5 million USD (based on a $50 million post-investment valuation) and will be granted a call option to acquire an additional 15% stake (bringing total ownership to 25%) at a future valuation of $400 million USD.
