Charles Parker, Acting CFO, will resume his role as Corporate Controller. The Company wishes to thank Charlie for his hard work in managing Eldorado’s Finance department in recent months.

New York Stock Exchange Minimum Share Price Requirement

New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) regulations stipulate that listed issuers must maintain a minimum average closing share price of US$1.00 per share calculated over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Eldorado received notice from the NYSE that the Company was below criteria regarding this requirement on April 18, 2018 and again on September 11, 2018. The Company sought and received shareholder approval at its Annual and Special Meeting on June 21, 2018, to amend the Company’s articles to allow for the implementation of a share consolidation with a ratio of 5-for-1, prior to December 31, 2018.

The Board will review the merits of a share consolidation, taking into consideration the best interests of the Company, its trading price and the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.
