This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated October 15, 2021, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 10, 2021.

VANCOUVER, BC, July 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX: GPR) (NYSE-A: GPL) ("Great Panther" or the "Company"), a growth-oriented precious metals producer focused on the Americas, announces that the Company will undertake a share consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of one post-Consolidation for every 10 pre-Consolidation Shares.

The Company currently has 471,164,174 Shares issued and outstanding. Upon completion of the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 47,116,417 Shares issued and outstanding. Some slight variance is expected due to fractional rounding. As is customary, to reflect the Consolidation, all outstanding incentive stock options granted pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Incentive Plan") will be adjusted to increase their exercise price by a factor of 10 and to reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by dividing by 10. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the Consolidation will also be made to outstanding deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units granted pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The Company expects the Consolidation will allow it to comply with the minimum price listing standard of the NYSE American and therefore maintain its listing of Shares on that exchange. Subject to the Company receiving all required approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and NYSE American, the Consolidation is expected to take effect at close of business on July 21, 2022. Notice of the Consolidation has been provided to the TSX and NYSE American, and the Common Shares are expected to begin trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX and NYSE American on or about July 25, 2022, under a new CUSIP number.

No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation. In lieu of any such fractional Shares, each registered shareholder of the Company otherwise entitled to a fractional Common Share following the implementation of the Consolidation will receive the nearest whole number of post-Consolidation Shares.

Holders of shares of the Company who hold uncertificated shares (that is shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as registered holders or beneficial owners, will have their existing book-entry account(s) electronically adjusted by the Company's transfer agent or, in the case of beneficial shareholders, by their brokerage firms, banks, trusts or other nominees that hold in street name for their benefit. Such holders generally do not need to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation Shares for post-Consolidation Shares. If you hold your Shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.

Registered shareholders holding share certificates will be mailed a letter of transmittal advising of the Consolidation and instructing them to surrender the share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Shares for replacement certificates or a direct registration advice representing their post-Consolidation Shares. Until surrendered for exchange, each share certificate formerly representing pre-Consolidation Shares will be deemed to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
