ATM Share Issuances

On August 8, 2025, the Company announced the establishment of an at-the-market ("ATM") equity program superseding the Company's previous ATM program, which had been fully utilized, allowing the Company to issue and sell up to $50.0 million of common shares from treasury to the public (the "Current ATM program").

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 the Company issued a total of 2,222,342 common shares under the Current ATM program at an average price of $4.87 per share, for gross and net proceeds of $10.8 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

Options

Under the option plan, the exercise price of each Option shall not be less than the price permitted by the TSXV. The Options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years and generally have a vesting period of three years.

Long-term Incentive Plan

The Company has a long-term incentive plan (the "Plan") in accordance with the policies of the TSXV whereby, from time to time at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), eligible directors, officers and employees are awarded restricted share units ("RSUs"). The RSUs that are subject to, among other things, the recipient's deferral right in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada) convert automatically into common shares upon vesting. In addition, the Company may issue deferred share units ("DSUs"). DSUs may be redeemed upon retirement or termination from the Company. In accordance with the Plan, the aggregate number of common shares to be issued shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at any given time when combined with the aggregate number of Options, RSUs and DSUs issued pursuant to the Plan and any other equity compensation arrangements.
