The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the market price of the Shares may from time to time not reflect the underlying value of Base Carbon, including its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its Shares through the NCIB is in the best interests of the Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds.

The Company has also entered into an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP“) with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases of Shares pursuant to the NCIB. During the effective period of Base Carbon’s ASPP, Base Carbon’s broker may purchase Shares at times when the Company would not be active in the market due to insider trading rules and its own internal trading blackout periods. Purchases will be made by the Company’s broker based upon parameters set by the Company when it is not in possession of any material non-public information about itself and its securities, and in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Outside of the effective period of the ASPP, Shares may continue to be purchased pursuant to Base Carbon’s discretion, subject to applicable law. The ASPP has been entered into in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.
