Argo Corporation announces update on special stock dividend in connection with its ownership interest in FoodsUp Inc.

TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ – On May 21, 2025 Argo Corporation ('Argo' or the 'Company') (TSXV: ARGH) (OTCQX: ARGHF), a leader in next-generation transit solutions, announced that its board of directors had declared a special stock dividend (the 'Stock Dividend') of one Preferred Share, Series A of Argo (the 'Series A Preferred Shares') for each common share of Argo (the 'Common Shares'). The Series A Preferred Shares track the Company's ownership of 45,932 subordinate-voting shares in the capital of FoodsUp Inc. (the 'FoodsUp Shares'). The Company also announced it and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries are parties to two option agreements (collectively, the 'Option Agreements') which are intended to facilitate the sale of the FoodsUp Shares. If fully exercised, the Option Agreements would result in gross proceeds of between $21.6 million and $30.2 million, which are intended to be distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares. The payment date for the Stock Dividend is August 20, 2025 (the 'Distribution Date') and any purchaser of Common Shares before the close of markets on the Distribution Date will be assigned the right to the Stock Dividend. The Common Shares of the Company will begin trading on an 'ex-distribution' basis at the opening of markets on August 21, 2025. Background Argo's founding leadership team announced its plans in 2024 to develop the world's first vertically-integrated transit system for cities. Since then, Argo's Smart Routing™ system successfully doubled transit ridership in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, replacing all of the municipality's legacy fixed bus routes. The Company also announced a landmark $10.9 million 12-month agreement with the City of Brampton, and is focused on expanding to more municipalities. Simultaneously, the Company has been executing an ongoing strategy to monetize legacy assets that predate the founding of Argo's current business to maximize value for shareholders. Since then, Argo has realized $3.25 million in proceeds from previously disclosed legacy asset sales. As part of this ongoing strategy, and as previously disclosed, the Company is pursuing the sale of the FoodsUp Shares (the 'FoodsUp Divestment'). The Company is proceeding with the Stock Dividend, which is intended to provide its shareholders with their proportionate stake in the net proceeds realized upon the eventual FoodsUp Divestment. FoodsUp Divestment FoodsUp Inc. is a Canadian restaurant supply platform with annual revenues of $108 million in fiscal 2024. To facilitate the FoodsUp Divestment, the Company previously disclosed that it and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries are parties to the Option Agreements, which if fully exercised, would result in gross proceeds of between $21.6 million and $30.2 million, which are intended to be distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, after deducting all applicable taxes and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Company's ownership of the FoodsUp Shares. However, the Company can make no assurance of the timing of or quantum of proceeds to be received in connection with the transactions under the Option Agreements, or that such transactions will occur at all. The transactions provided for in the Option Agreements remain subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. See the Company's press release dated May 21, 2025 and management information circular dated May 22, 2025 for more information regarding the Option Agreements. Special Stock Dividend The Common Shares started trading on a 'due-bill' basis at the opening of trading on August 13, 2025 (the 'Record Date') and will commence trading on an 'ex-distribution' basis at the opening of markets on August 21, 2025, the first trading day following the Distribution Date. A due bill will attach to each Common Share between the opening of markets on the Record Date and the close of markets on the Distribution Date (the 'Due Bill Period'). During the Due Bill Period, any seller of Common Shares will also be deemed to sell and assign the right to the Stock Dividend to the purchaser of such Common Shares. The Common Shares will not commence trading on an ex-distribution basis (i.e., without the entitlement to receive the Stock Dividend) until the opening of markets on August 21, 2025, the first trading day following the Distribution Date. The Stock Dividend has been designated as an eligible dividend for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Shareholders as of the Record Date do not need to take any action to receive the Stock Dividend. Accounts for registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders (i.e., those who hold Common Shares through an intermediary) will be credited with the Series A Preferred Shares on or about the Distribution Date. For most Canadian federal income tax purposes, the amount of a stock dividend, and therefore the amount included in the income of a shareholder who receives a stock dividend, is equal to the increase in the paid-up capital of the corporation by reason of the payment of the stock dividend. The amount that will be added to the stated capital of the Series A Preferred Shares, and therefore the increase in the paid-up capital of the Company, will be $1,000 in total. As a result, it is expected that the amount of the dividend that will be received by the shareholders for most Canadian federal income tax purposes will be approximately $0.000007 per Series A Preferred Share. This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations. This summary is not and should not be construed as legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of Series A Preferred Shares, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any holder or prospective holder are made. Consequently, holders or prospective holders of Series A Preferred Shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences with respect to their particular circumstances, and any other consequences to them of such transactions under Canadian federal, provincial, local or foreign tax laws. In anticipation of the foregoing, the Company has amended its articles to create a new series of preferred shares, being the Series A Preferred Shares (the 'Amendment'). The Series A Preferred Shares are intended to effectively track the ownership of the 45,932 subordinate-voting shares in the capital of FoodsUp Inc. that are owned by the Company as of the date the articles were amended. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive dividends ('Series A Special Dividends') if, as, and when declared by the board of directors of the Company in an amount equal to the proceeds of disposition of the FoodsUp Shares received by the Company after deducting all applicable taxes and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Company's ownership of the FoodsUp Shares. To the extent that any Series A Special Dividends are declared by the board of directors of the Company, such dividends will be paid in such manner, in such quantum and at such times, as the board of directors of the Company may from time to time determine. Except as required by law, holders of Series A Preferred Shares will not be entitled to receive notice of, or to attend, any meeting of the shareholders of the Company and will not be entitled to vote at any such meeting. In certain circumstances the Company may redeem all of the Series A Preferred Shares. The Series A Preferred Shares will not be listed or quoted on a marketplace. The complete rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Series A Preferred Shares are set out in the articles of amendment of the Company, which are available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on About Argo Argo delivers the first-ever vertically and publicly integrated city transit system, designed to augment public transportation and create a network of intelligently routed vehicles that work together to serve and scale to the needs of entire cities, putting people in control of their mobility.

The non-GAAP results and a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they present a better measure of the Company's core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company's ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company's operating performance.

Futures pause after steady gains on Wall St, data in focus

A street sign for Wall Street is seen outside the New York Stock Exchange in Manhattan, New York City US STOCK index futures were muted on Thursday following a strong run on Wall Street this week and investors awaited fresh economic data to gauge the Federal Reserve's monetary policy verdict next month. Data reflecting labor market weakness has strengthened expectations that the central bank will potentially lower interest rates next month, despite another report suggesting underlying price pressures are on the rise. The expectations for a dovish Fed encouraged investors to lap up riskier equities, sending the benchmark S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq to record highs in the previous two sessions, and putting the blue-chip Dow within striking distance of an all-time high. Traders are fully pricing in a 25-basis-point interest rate cut by the central bank in September, according to the CME FedWatch tool, and expect cuts of a similar size in October and December. Analysts are not so sure. "The market is too complacent about the apparent certainty the Fed will cut next month, especially with inflation having been above target for 53 months running, and clearly moving in the wrong direction," said Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone. A report also showed San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly pushed back against the need for a 50-basis-point interest rate cut next month, a day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an aggressive half-point cut was possible. At 05:24 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 8 points, or 0.02%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 3 points, or 0.05%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 21.25 points, or 0.09%. Focus is now on a string of data due at 8:30 a.m. ET, including weekly jobless claims and Producer Price Index for the month of July, at a time when markets are also concerned about the quality of economic data following budget and staffing cuts. Some of the components of the producer inflation report feeds into the Fed's preferred inflation gauge - the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index. Wall Street's recovery from April lows has also elevated valuations of the S&P 500 beyond long-term averages, aided by better-than-expected earnings from megacap companies and more clarity on trade deals. "I retain my bullish equity bias. Frankly, it's tough not to - earnings growth is impressive; the tone on trade is becoming much softer; the economy remains resilient; and, even if that final point falters, the Fed (has) plenty of room to ease," said Brown. Cisco Systems forecast first-quarter revenue above estimates, as the artificial intelligence boom boosted demand for its networking equipment from cloud customers. Shares were down 1% in premarket trading. Birkenstock gained 3.5% after the sandal maker beat quarterly expectations. Quarterly reports from Deere and Tapestry are also due before the bell. Meanwhile, a Reuters report said President Donald Trump's administration is likely weeks away from announcing the results of a probe into pharmaceutical imports and new sector-specific U.S. tariffs. Healthcare companies such as Eli Lilly and Merck were little changed. The broader sector has declined the most on the S&P 500 this year. - Reuters
