DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment for the sole purpose of filing the information required by Part III of Form 10-K. We previously omitted this information from the Original Report in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits this information to be incorporated by reference from a registrant’s definitive proxy statement if the proxy statement is filed within 120 days after fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in our Original Report because we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders containing such information within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year ended April 30, 2026.
This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety the cover page and Part III of the Original Report. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in Part III of this Amendment shall have the same meanings assigned to those terms in Parts I and II of the Original Report.
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part IV, Item 15 (Exhibit Index) has also been amended to contain the currently dated certifications from our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of our principal executive officer and of our principal financial officer are attached to this Amendment as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively. The cover page is also amended to update the number of shares outstanding as of the latest practicable date and to remove the statement that information is incorporated by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement.
Because no financial statements or other financial information have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, we have omitted paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications filed with this Amendment. Additionally, we are not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, because we are not filing any financial statements with this Amendment.
The remainder of the Original Report remains the same as previously reported in the Original Report, and there are no other changes to the Company’s financial statements or disclosures and there are no changes to the Company’s reported results. This Amendment does not reflect any subsequent events occurring after the filing date of the Original Report and does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the Original Report except as described above. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and with our filings with the SEC after the Original Report.

Orion Board Representatives
Messrs. Rozenauers and McQuilkin were appointed to the Board as board representatives of the entities associated with Orion that are parties to the Investors Rights Agreement (the “Orion Sellers”) pursuant to that certain Investors Rights Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2026, by and among the Company, Orion, the Orion Sellers, HRG Metals LP and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (the “Investors Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investors Rights Agreement, during the two-year period following the Effective Date, so long as the Orion Sellers beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the total outstanding voting shares of the Company, the Orion Sellers are entitled to designate for nomination to the Board such number of directors as is proportional to their beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, not to equal or exceed 50% of the total number of directors on the Board. The Investors Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Original Report.
Director Nominations by Security Holders
Our nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board in identifying qualified candidates to be recommended as director nominees and appointed to stand for election at each annual meeting of stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider candidates proposed by a consultant, an executive officer, by any director or by any stockholder, in accordance with procedures established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from time to time.
Stockholder recommendations provided to the Company’s Secretary and received in accordance with the advance notice provisions in our amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) will be considered and evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the same manner as candidates recommended from other sources. When considering whether director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the Board may consider, among other factors, potential conflicts of interest, professional experience, personal character, diversity of race, ethnicity, gender or age, and skills or professional experiences that enhance the quality of the deliberations and decisions of the Board, bearing in mind the composition of the Board and the current state of the Company and the industry generally. The Board may also consider the number of other public companies for which the person serves as director and the availability of the person’s time and commitment to the Company. In the case of current directors being considered for re-nomination, the Board will also consider the director’s tenure as a member of the Board, the director’s history of attendance at meetings of the Board and the director’s preparation for and participation in such meetings.
| 4 |
The Board believes that each director should have a basic understanding of our principal operational and financial objectives and plans and strategies, our financial condition and results of operations and our relative standing in relation to our competitors.
In identifying director nominees for recommendation to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will first evaluate the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service will be considered for re-nomination.
If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board will identify another nominee with the desired skills and experience described above. The Board takes into consideration the overall composition and diversity of the Board and areas of expertise that director nominees may be able to offer, including business experience, knowledge, abilities and customer relationships. Generally, the Board will strive to assemble a board of directors that brings to us a variety of perspectives and skills derived from business and professional experience as it may deem are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board has an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and we may have such other committees as the Board shall determine from time to time.

The URC LTIP also permits other equity-based awards (collectively, “Awards”), including restricted share units, deferred share units, performance share units and stock appreciation rights, subject to the terms set forth in the URC LTIP and the applicable award agreements. The option awards granted to the NEOs for the 2025 Fiscal Year and the 2026 Fiscal Year were granted under the URC LTIP.

Discretionary Cash Bonuses
Annual cash bonuses are a discretionary component of the total compensation that may be received by the Company’s executive officers, which provide such executive officers the potential to receive an annual financial reward based on performance. Discretionary cash bonuses are recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board based on annual performance reviews. No annual cash bonuses were awarded with respect to the financial year ended April 30, 2026.
Other Elements of Compensation

Additionally, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors, officers and employees from trading in our Common Stock while in possession of or on the basis of material nonpublic information about the Company. We have not timed, and do not plan to time, the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
In the year ended April 30, 2026, no options were granted to our named executive officers within four business days prior to, or one business day following, the filing or furnishing of a periodic or current report with the SEC or the disclosure of material nonpublic information on SEDAR+ by us that disclosed material nonpublic information.

Policies and Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions
Under SEC rules, a “Related Party Transaction” is a transaction in which the Company was or is to be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any Related Person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “Related Person” means:
| ● | any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our executive officers or one of our directors or director nominees; | |
| ● | any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock; |
| 17 |
| ● | any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, executive officer or a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock; and |
| ● | any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest. |
The Board has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy. Pursuant to this policy, the Audit Committee is expected to review all material facts of all Related Party Transactions and either approve or disapprove entry into the Related Party Transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions. In determining whether to approve or disapprove entry into a Related Party Transaction, the Audit Committee shall: (i) satisfy itself that it has been fully informed as to the Related Person’s relationship and interest and as to the material facts of the proposed Related Party Transaction or the proposed material amendment to such transaction and (ii) determine that the Related Party Transaction or material amendment thereto is fair to the Company. Further, the policy requires that all Related Party Transactions required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC be so disclosed in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Director Independence
The Board relies on the criteria set forth in the Nasdaq Listed Company Manual for purposes of evaluating the independence of directors. Based on such criteria, the Board reviewed the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a relationship with us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. The Board has affirmatively determined that Neil Gregson, Ken Robertson, Vina Patel, Donna Wichers and Kevin McQuilkin are each an “independent director,” as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules, and the Board consists of a majority of independent directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules. In making these determinations, the Board considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with us and all other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each director, and the transactions involving them described in this Item 13 to this Amendment.
