Aura Minerals (AUGO) CFO Receives Stock Option Awards

What Happened

• Joao Kleber Dos Santos Cardoso, Aura Minerals' CFO and Corporate Secretary, was granted three stock option awards on September 15, 2026. The grants total 101,372 options (33,790; 33,791; 33,791). Each grant is reported with an acquisition price of $0.00 (i.e., an option award), so the filing shows $0 cash paid. These are derivative awards (stock options) and not open-market purchases or sales.

Context

• These entries reflect option grants (awards) that give the holder the right to purchase common shares in the future if and when vested and exercised; no shares were sold or bought on the open market in this transaction. Because vesting is staged over upcoming years, the awards are not immediately exercisable in full and do not by themselves represent a cash investment or sale.
