As of March 20, 2026, the Company owes principal and interest to the Debenture Holders, all of which is currently due in the amount of CAD$16,379,828.49 as of January 31, 2026 (principal amount of CAD$14,999,000 plus interest of CAD$1,380,828.49) plus interest accrued to March 20, 2026 (the "Amount Due").

The Company intends to use its best efforts to raise new equity capital for cash consideration through a brokered prospectus offering to investors for an amount not less than CAD$10,000,000 (the "Financing Amount") to conclude at or before September 30, 2026 (the "Financing").

The Company and the Debenture Holders entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated March 20, 2026 and, provided the Company completes the Financing for aggregate proceeds of not less than the Financing Amount, the Amounts Due shall be settled and satisfied in the manner set out in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (collectively, the "Amendments").

Subject to and conditional upon the Company completing the Financing for aggregate proceeds of not less than the Financing Amount:

1. The Debenture Holders shall convert $11,000,000 of the Amount Due (the "Converted Amount") to common shares of the Company at the same price and terms of the Financing completed by the Company. In the event that the Company completes the Financing in one or more separate tranches or offerings, the Debenture Holders shall only be obligated to convert the Convertible Debentures hereunder when the cumulative total raised from the Financing meets or exceeds the Financing Amount; and

2. The remaining portion of the Amount Due (approximately $5.37 million) shall be written off and fully forgiven by the Debenture Holders (the "Forgiven Amount").

In the event the Financing is completed in more than one tranche or offering at different offering prices, the Debenture Holder's conversion price shall be equal to the lowest price at which equity capital is issued under the Financing.

In the event the Company does not complete the Financing for aggregate proceeds of not less than the Financing Amount Financing on or before September 30, 2026, this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall terminate and be of no force and effect after such date, and the Amount Due owing under the Convertible Debentures shall immediately become due and payable, including for greater certainty the Forgiven Amount.
