SENTGRAF ENTERPRISES LTD. REPORTS A CHANGE IN ITS EQUITY INTEREST IN AKITA DRILLING LTD.
Summary
Sentgraf Enterprises Ltd. reported a change in its equity interest in AKITA Drilling Ltd. on June 30, 2026, following AKITA's Share Reorganization. This reorganization eliminated AKITA's dual-class share structure, converting all Class A Non-Voting Shares into Class B Common Shares, which were then renamed "Common Shares." This move was linked to AKITA's acquisition of Fox Drilling Limited Partnership and Fox Drilling Inc. from Paramount Resources Ltd., for which AKITA issued 19,264,270 Common Shares to Paramount. Prior to the transaction, Sentgraf held 4,474,258 Class A Shares (12%) and 1,426,790 Class B Shares (86%).

Sentgraf intends to hold these shares for investment purposes and will file an early warning report under National Instrument 62-103.
