TORONTO, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sprott Asset Management LP (Sprott Asset Management), a subsidiary of Sprott Inc (TSX:)., on behalf of the Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust (NYSE: SPPP) (TSX: SPPP / SPPP.U) (the Trust), a closed-ended mutual fund trust created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical platinum and palladium bullion, today announced that it has added additional sales agents to its at-the-market equity program to issue up to US$50 million of units of the Trust (Units) in the United States and Canada.

Distributions under the at-the-market equity programs in the United States and Canada (together, the A™ Program) will now be completed in accordance with the terms of an amended and restated sales agreement (the A&R Sales Agreement) dated December 6, 2024 between Sprott Asset Management (as the manager of the Trust), the Trust, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (CF&Co), Virtu Americas LLC (Virtu), BMO Capital Markets (BMO) and Canaccord Genuity LLC (Canaccord, and together with CF&Co, Virtu and BMO, the U.S. Agents), Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation (Cantor Canada), Virtu Canada Corp. (Virtu Canada), BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (BMO Canada), Canaccord Genuity Corp. (Canaccord Canada and together with Cantor Canada, BMO Canada and Virtu Canada, the Canadian Agents, and, together with the U.S. Agents, the Agents). The A&R Sales Agreement is available on EDGAR at the website of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) at www.sec.gov and the SEDAR+ website maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedarplus.ca.

Sales of Units through the Agents, acting as agent, will be made through at the market issuances on the NYSE Arca (NYSE) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or other existing trading markets in the United States and Canada at the market price prevailing at the time of each sale, and, as a result, sale prices may vary. Neither U.S. Agent is registered as a dealer in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, the U.S. Agents will only sell Units on marketplaces in the United States and are not permitted to and will not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase any Units in Canada. The Canadian Agents may only sell Units on marketplaces in Canada.

The volume and timing of distributions under the A™ Program, if any, will be determined in the Trust's sole discretion. The Trust intends to use the proceeds from the A™ Program, if any, to acquire physical platinum and palladium bullion in accordance with the Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's investment and operating restrictions.

The offering under the A™ Program is now being made pursuant to the amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 6, 2024 (the A&R U.S. Prospectus Supplement) to the Trust's U.S. base prospectus (the U.S. Base Prospectus) included in its registration statement on Form F-10 (the Registration Statement) (File No. 333-281996) filed with the SEC on September 6, 2024, and pursuant to the amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 6, 2024 (the A&R Prospectus Supplement) to the Trust's Canadian short form base shelf prospectus dated September 6, 2024 (the Base Shelf Prospectus and together with the A&R Prospectus Supplement, the A&R U.S. Prospectus Supplement, the U.S. Base Prospectus and the Registration Statement, the Offering Documents).
