Further to the Company’s news release dated May 1, 2026 (the “Announcement”), the Company’s principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “Commission”), granted the MCTO on May 1, 2026, under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trader Orders (“NP 12-203”). Pursuant to the MCTO, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files the Annual Filings and the Commission revokes the MCTO. During this period, the Company will cease any share buy-back activities under its normal course issuer bid, and has undertaken not to, directly or indirectly, issue or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company.

The MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders to trade their securities.

Article content

Management and the accounting team continue to make progress in preparing the Annual Filings and will file as soon as practicable. The delay in filing the Annual Filings is a result of expanded review procedures, including the involvement of valuation specialists in relation to certain complex transactions. It is the Company’s reasonable expectation that the Annual Filings will be finalized in the coming weeks.

Article content

The Company will issue a news release announcing completion of filing of the Annual Filings at such time as they are completed and filed. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out under NP 12-203 including issuing bi-weekly default status reports by way of news releases, which will be filed on SEDAR+.

Article content

In addition, the Company confirms that since the date of the Announcement: (i) there has been no failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (ii) there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; (iii) the Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
