Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “the
Company”) announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has
accepted for filing Eldorado’s Notice in respect of a normal course
issuer bid (the “NCIB”). Purchases will be made on the open market
through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian
trading systems.
Pursuant to the NCIB, Eldorado may purchase up
to 350,000 of its common shares (the “Shares”) representing
approximately 0.17% of the total 204,909,496 common shares of
Eldorado issued and outstanding as at October 31, 2024. Purchases
will be made at prevailing market prices commencing November 8,
2024 and ending July 31, 2025. Pursuant to TSX policies, daily
purchases will not exceed 83,123 common shares, other than block
purchase exceptions. The average daily trading volume for the
six-month period from May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024 was 332,492
common shares. Purchases under the NCIB by Eldorado will be the
market price at the time of acquisition.
Eldorado has engaged National Bank Financial
Inc. (the “Broker”) as its broker under an automatic share purchase
plan to undertake purchases under the NCIB. During the term of the
automatic share purchase plan, Eldorado will not communicate any
material undisclosed information to the trading staff at the
Broker, and accordingly the Broker may make purchases regardless of
whether a blackout period is in effect or whether there is material
undisclosed information about Eldorado at the time purchases are
made.
Eldorado believes that the purchase of the
Shares would be an effective use of its funds and is an effective
strategy to enable it to satisfy its future obligations under its
employee restricted share unit plan.
Under the Company’s previous normal course
issuer bid that commenced on July 4, 2023 and terminated on July 3,
2024 under which the Company sought and received approval from the
TSX to purchase up to 500,000 common shares, 500,000 common shares
were purchased on the open market through the facilities of TSX
and/or alternative Canadian trading systems at a volume weighted
average purchase price of C$14.7482 per common
share.
A copy of Eldorado’s Notice filed with the TSX
may be obtained, by any shareholder without charge, by contacting
Eldorado’s Corporate Secretary.

forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words
such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", “continue”,
“projected”, "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"anticipates", or "believes" or the negatives thereof or variations
of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions,
events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be
taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking
information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve
known and unknown risks, market uncertainties and other factors,
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of

forward-looking statements or information.
We have made certain assumptions about the
forward-looking statements and information, including assumptions
about: general market conditions, including prevailing market
prices of our common shares and other available investment and
business opportunities. In particular, except where otherwise
stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business
operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of
this release.
Even though our management believes that the
assumptions made and the expectations represented by such
statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be
accurate. Many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are
beyond our control.
Furthermore, should one or more of the risks,
uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those described in forward-looking statements or information.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others:
our assumptions relating to general market conditions, including
prevailing market prices of our common shares, and other available
investment and business opportunities, as well as those risk
factors discussed in the sections titled “Forward-Looking
Statements” and "Risk factors in our business" in the Company's
most recent Annual Information Form & Form 40-F. The reader is
directed to carefully review the detailed risk discussion in our
most recent Annual Information Form filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR under
our Company name, which discussion is incorporated by reference in
this release, for a fuller understanding of the risks and
uncertainties that affect the Company’s business and
operations.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements and
information is designed to help you understand management’s current
views of our near- and longer-term prospects, and it may not be
appropriate for other purposes.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking
statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual
results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information
contained herein. Except as required by law, we do not expect to
update forward-looking statements and information continually as
conditions change.
