Total Helium Announces Effective Date of Name Change and Consolidation
MWN-AI** Summary
Altura Energy Corp. (formerly Total Helium Ltd.) has announced its name change and share consolidation effective May 12, 2025. The company has completed a consolidation of its common shares at a ratio of ten pre-consolidation shares to one post-consolidation share, resulting in approximately 10,239,354 common shares outstanding post-consolidation. On the Effective Date, the shares will trade under the new ticker symbol "ALTU" and will be designated under the new CUSIP and ISIN.
Shareholders with physical certificates or DRS Advice will receive instructions from Computershare Trust Company of Canada on exchanging their old shares for post-consolidation shares. Beneficial shareholders holding shares through intermediaries may have different procedures and are encouraged to consult their brokers regarding the consolidation.
Concurrent with the consolidation, the company has 37,500,000 warrants outstanding. The 2026 Warrants, which allow the purchase of pre-consolidation shares at $2.00 until November 8, 2026, will now be exercisable at an adjusted price of $20.00 per post-consolidation share, with each warrant entitling its holder to acquire 0.1 of one post-consolidation share. The original acceleration clause enabling the company to accelerate the expiry of these warrants has been adjusted to a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $30.00 per post-consolidation share.
Additionally, the company is working on an amendment to reduce the exercise price of the 2028 Warrants from $0.75 to $0.25 per post-consolidation share, pending approval. Once approved, the company will provide updates regarding the amendment's effective date.

MWN-AI** Analysis
The recent announcement regarding Total Helium Ltd.'s transformation into Altura Energy Corp., alongside a consolidation of shares, warrants caution and strategic planning for investors. Consolidation, performed at a ratio of 10:1, typically serves as a mechanism to boost share prices post-restructuring by reducing the number of outstanding shares. However, while this might initially appear beneficial, it can also present challenges, particularly in terms of investor perception and market volatility.
As the company transitions to its new ticker symbol "ALTU" on the TSX Venture Exchange, the market dynamics are likely to shift. Notably, the post-consolidation environment will see the original warrants undergo adjustments—with the 2026 Warrants now allowing acquisition at $20.00 instead of $2.00 per share. This increased barrier may deter current warrant holders unless the stock demonstrates significant upside potential post-consolidation.
Moreover, the proposed amendment to lower the 2028 Warrants' exercise price to $0.25 reveals a strategic pivot meant to stimulate demand. Investors should closely monitor how this amendment progresses; if approved, it could provide an avenue for increased shareholder engagement and improved liquidity.
Overall, investors should approach this transition thoughtfully. The consolidation can be perceived as a step towards greater operational efficiency, but it may also evoke skepticism regarding the company's long-term potential, especially amidst fluctuating commodity prices.
Strategically, it may be wise to analyze trading volumes and market reactions post-effective date (May 12, 2025) closely. A conservative approach may involve holding off on significant investment unless clear bullish signals emerge, supported by increased trading volumes and positive sentiment in the helium market. Utilizing stop-loss orders could safeguard against any immediate market contractions.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 8, 2025) - Altura Energy Corp., (TSXV: ALTU) (FSE: Y02) (formerly, Total Helium Ltd.) ("the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will change its name to "Altura Energy Corp." (the "Name Change") and implemented its previously announced consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post consolidation Common Share of the Company (the "Consolidation"). Effective at the market opening on May 12, 2025 (the "Effective Date") the Common Shares are expected to commence trading under the new name, on a post-Consolidated basis, under the new ticker symbol "ALTU".
Following the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 10,239,354 Common Shares issued and outstanding. In connection with the Consolidation and the Name Change, the Common Shares of the Company are expected to trade under the new CUSIP 02210E101 and ISIN CA02210E1016.
Registered shareholders who hold Common Shares represented by a physical certificate or direct registration system advice ("DRS Advice") will receive a letter of transmittal from the transfer agent for the Company, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, with instructions on how to exchange their existing certificates or DRS Advices for certificates or DRS Advices representing post-Consolidation Common Shares. Beneficial shareholders holding their Common Shares through an intermediary, such as a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or similar organization, should note that such intermediary might have different procedures for processing the Consolidation than the procedures for registered shareholders. Beneficial shareholders who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their intermediary.
In addition to Common Shares, the Company currently has 37,500,000 share purchase warrants outstanding, of which 12,500,000 are exercisable to acquire a pre-Consolidation Common Share, at a price of $2.00 per Common Share, until November 8, 2026 (the "2026 Warrants") and 25,000,000 are exercisable to acquire a pre-Consolidation Common Share, at a price of $0.75 per Common Share, until May 1, 2028 (the "2028 Warrants").
The 2026 Warrants are currently listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol "TOH.WT". As a result of the Consolidation of the Company's Common Shares, every ten (10) 2026 Warrants will collectively be exercisable for one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share, at an adjusted exercise price of $20.00 per post-Consolidation Common Share. Each individual 2026 Warrant will now entitle the holder to acquire 0.1 of one post-Consolidation Common Share, until November 8, 2026, subject to an acceleration clause, as detailed below. The number of outstanding 2026 Warrants remains unchanged. The 2026 Warrants may only be exercised in a sufficient number to acquire whole numbers of Common Shares. Each fractional Common Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share.
The original acceleration clause permitted the Company to accelerate the expiry of the 2026 Warrants if the volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange equaled or exceeded $3.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. Following the Consolidation, this VWAP has been adjusted to $30.00 per post-Consolidation Common Share.
Following completion of the Consolidation, the 2026 Warrants will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, but are expected to commence trading the new name, on a post-Consolidated basis, under the new ticker symbol "ALTU.WT" at the market open on the Effective Date. The 2026 Warrants are expected to trade under the new CUSIP 02210E119 and ISIN CA02210E1198.
As a result of the Consolidation of the Company's Common Shares, every ten (10) 2028 Warrants will collectively be exercisable for one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share, at an adjusted exercise price of $7.50 per post-Consolidation Common Share. Each individual 2028 Warrant will now entitle the holder to acquire 0.1 of one post-Consolidation Common Share, until May 1, 2028. The number of outstanding 2028 Warrants remains unchanged. The 2028 Warrants may only be exercised in a sufficient number to acquire whole numbers of Common Shares. Each fractional Common Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share. The 2028 Warrants are expected to remain delisted, but are expected to have a new CUSIP 02210E127 and ISIN CA02210E1271.
The Company still intends to proceed with an amendment to the exercise price of the 2028 Warrants, such that the exercise price will be reduced to $0.25 per post-Consolidation Common Share (the "Amendment"). In accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, in the event the closing price of the post-Consolidation Common Shares exceeds $0.3125 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, the term of the 2028 Warrants will be automatically accelerated to the date that is thirty (30) calendar days beginning no more than the seventh (7th) calendar day after the tenth trading day giving rise to acceleration. The Amendment remains subject to approval by the holders of the 2028 Warrants, as well as the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company will provide a further update regarding the effective date for the Amendment once such approvals have been obtained. For further information regarding the proposed amendment, readers are encouraged to review the news release issued by the Company on April 25, 2025.
