September 18, 2019, the stockholders of U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company”) approved at its annual meeting of stockholders
a proposal to authorize the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its discretion but prior to September
18, 2020, to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse
stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-10, such ratio to be determined by
the Board.
On
March 17, 2020, the Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common
stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and on March 18, 2020, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate Amendment”) to effect the
Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 19, 2020 (the “Effective
Time”), and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on March 20,
2020.
When
the Reverse Stock Split became effective, every 10 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (and such
shares held in treasury) were automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per
share. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share conversion and exercise prices and the numbers of shares
issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock and the exercise of all outstanding
stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s
equity incentive compensation plans. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of outstanding stock
options and other equity awards outstanding under the Company’s long-term incentive plans will be rounded down to the nearest
while share and the per share exercise price resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. No fractional
shares will be issued following the reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional
share of common stock as a consequence of the reverse stock split will, upon surrender to the Company’s transfer agent of
the certificates representing such fractional shares, be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying: (i) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the business day immediately preceding the Effective
Time as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market by (ii) the number of shares of Company’s common stock held by the stockholder
that would otherwise have been exchanged for the fractional share interest as a result of the Reverse Stock Split to such stockholder
of record at the Effective Time.
The
Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “USAU.” The new
CUSIP number for common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 90291C 201.
Equity
Stock Transfer, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.

Exchange Commission on August 15, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting Proxy”), the relevant portions of which are incorporated
