Reverse capitalization

As discussed in Note 1, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations are those of Greenstone for all prior periods presented. As such, the basic and diluted earnings per share related to Greenstone prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

Share listing expenses under IFRS 2

As further discussed in Note 1, since the Business Combination was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the shares deemed to have been issued by the accounting acquirer and the fair value of the accounting acquiree’s identifiable net assets represented a service received by the accounting acquirer, and thus was recognized as a non-cash expense upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Upon Closing, the excess fair value of the equity interests deemed to have been issued to HCVI as consideration over the fair value of HCVI’s identifiable net liabilities was recognized as a listing expense in the amount of $65.4 million in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The fair value of the equity interests was measured at the closing market price of HCVI’s publicly traded shares on June 5, 2025, which was $11.40 per share. See below for details.
