Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Odessa Share (except for those held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be transferred to Margaux in exchange for Margaux Units, in proportion to the number of Odessa Shares held by each Odessa Shareholder, at a ratio of one (1) Margaux Unit for each twelve (12) Odessa Shares. In addition, each Odessa Option (subject to the Consolidation Ratio) will be exchanged for a Margaux Option adjusting for the Consolidation Ratio, and each Odessa Agent Option (subject to the Consolidation Ratio) will be exchanged for one Margaux Agent Option. Odessa will amalgamate with Newco to form Amalco, which will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Margaux.

In connection with the Transaction, Margaux intends to complete the Private Placement, whereby it anticipates selling PP Units at a price of $1,000 per PP Unit for gross proceeds of a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of $3,000,000. Each PP Unit shall consist of $520 in principal amount of a Convertible Debenture and 400 Margaux Units at a price per Margaux Unit of $1.20, or as Odessa and Margaux may otherwise agree, acting reasonably. The Convertible Debentures will have a term of 5 years, bear interest at 6.0%, payable every 6 months, and will be convertible into Margaux Units at a price of $1.40 per Margaux Unit. Assuming the completion of the Minimum Private Placement, a total of $520,000 in principal amount of convertible debentures and 400,000 Margaux Units will be issued. On a full diluted basis, a total of 771,428 Margaux Units will be issuable pursuant to the Minimum Private Placement. Assuming the completion of the Maximum Private Placement, a total of $1,560,000 in principal amount of convertible debentures and 1,200,000 Margaux Units will be issued. On a full diluted basis, a total of 2,314,285 Margaux Units will be issuable pursuant to the Maximum Private Placement. There are no commissions or finder's fees payable in connection with the Private Placement. It is a condition to the obligations of Odessa to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Arrangement Agreement that Margaux shall have completed the Private Placement on or before the Effective Date.

Following completion of the Transaction, assuming completion of the Minimum Private Placement, it is anticipated that that the Resulting Issuer will have 6,261,726 Resulting Issuer Units outstanding at a deemed price of $1.20 per Resulting Issuer Unit, of which 4,195,059 Resulting Issuer Units, representing approximately 67% of the then outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, will be held by the former Margaux Unitholders, 1,666,667 Resulting Issuer Units, representing approximately 27% of the then outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, will be held by the current Odessa Shareholders, and 400,000 Resulting Issuer Units, representing approximately 6% of the then outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, will be held by investors in the Private Placement.

For more information, see the section headed "Business to be Conducted at the Meeting – Approval of Continuance".

Shareholder Approvals and Business Combinations

The Arrangement is a Business Combination pursuant to MI 61-101. Pursuant to MI 61-101, if a transaction is a Business Combination, a formal valuation and minority approval of the Arrangement is required. Minority approval requires the approval of the majority of the votes cast by Odessa Shareholders at the Meeting excluding votes attached to Odessa Shares that are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by Odessa, an Interested Party, a Related Party of an Interested Party, or a joint actor with an Interested Party or with a Related Party of an Interested Party. Michel Lassonde, André Verrier, Richard Morrison and Pierre Colas are Interested Parties to the Transaction, and accordingly, the 1,000,000 Odessa Shares, 1,000,000 Odessa Shares, 500,000 Odessa Shares and 500,000 Odessa Shares held or controlled or directed by them, respectively, will be excluded from the vote on the Arrangement Resolution, resulting in votes attaching to a total of 3,000,000 Odessa Shares being excluded from the vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

MI 61-101 provides that, unless exempted, an issuer proposing to carry out a Business Combination is required to engage an independent valuator to prepare a formal valuation of the affected securities and to provide to the holders of the affected securities a summary of such valuation. Odessa will be relying on an exemption from this valuation requirement pursuant to subsection 4.4(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the Odessa Shares are listed on the Exchange.

For more information, see the section headed "Description of the Transaction – Exchange and Securities Law Matters".

Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction

The Arrangement does not constitute a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction for the purposes of Exchange Policy 2.4.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The solicitation of proxies is intended to be primarily by mail but may also be made by telephone, fax, email or other electronic means of communication or in person by the directors and officers of the Corporation. The Corporation does not reimburse Odessa Shareholders, nominees, or agents for their costs of obtaining authorization from their principals to sign forms of proxy. All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Shareholders of the Corporation may be "Registered Shareholders" or "Non-Registered Shareholders". If Odessa Shares are registered in the Odessa Shareholder's name, they are said to be owned by a "Registered Shareholder". If Odessa Shares are registered in the name of an intermediary and not registered in the Shareholder's name, they are said to be owned by a "Non- Registered Shareholder". An intermediary is usually a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or a clearing agency in which an intermediary participates. The instructions provided below set forth the different procedures for voting Odessa Shares at the Meeting to be followed by Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders.

The persons named in the enclosed instrument appointing proxy are officers and directors of the Corporation. Each Odessa Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a Odessa Shareholder) to attend and act for him, her or it at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy. Odessa Shareholders who have given a proxy also have the right to revoke it insofar as it has not been exercised. The right to appoint an alternate proxyholder and the right to revoke a proxy may be exercised by following the procedures set out below under the sections headed "Registered Shareholders" or "Non-Registered Shareholders", as applicable.

If any Odessa Shareholder receives more than one (1) proxy or voting instruction form, it is because that Odessa Shareholder's shares are registered in more than one form. In such cases, Odessa Shareholders should sign and submit all proxies or voting instruction forms received by them in accordance with the instructions provided.

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

The information provided in this section applies to Odessa Shareholders who hold Odessa Shares in their own name and have a share certificate or direct registration system (DRS) statement (a "Registered Shareholder"). As a Registered Shareholder, you are identified on the share register maintained by the Corporation's register and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as being an Odessa Shareholder.

The persons named in the form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Corporation. A Registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be an Odessa Shareholder) to attend and represent such Registered Shareholder at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of

20


proxy. To exercise this right, the Registered Shareholder should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or submit another appropriate form of proxy.

In order to be effective, a proxy must be forwarded so as to reach, or be deposited with, the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada ("Computershare"), at 324-8th Avenue SW, Suite 800, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2Z2, Canada, Attention: Proxy Department or by fax at 1-866-249-7775 (within North America) or at 1-416-263-9524 (outside North America), not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. You may also vote by phone at 1-866-732-8683 (toll free within North America) or 1-312-588-4290 (outside North America), or by internet voting at www.investorvote.com; provided that you do so not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The time limit for deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chairperson of the Meeting at his discretion, without notice.

An instrument of proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder may revoke a proxy by:

(i) depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Registered Shareholder or by the Registered Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the Corporation:

(a) at the offices of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Computershare, 324-8th Avenue SW, Suite 800, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2Z2, Canada, at any time, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting, or an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, at which the proxy is to be used;

(b) at the registered office of the Corporation, Suite 800, 333 - 7th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2Z1, Canada, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, at which the proxy is to be used; or

(c) with the Chairperson of the Meeting before the Meeting begins or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, before the adjourned or postponed Meeting begins;

(ii) completing and signing another proxy form with a later date and delivering it to the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

(iii) personally attending the Meeting and voting the Odessa Shares represented by the proxy or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of such corporation attending at the Meeting and voting such Odessa Shares.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must arrange for their respective intermediary to revoke the proxy on their behalf in accordance with any requirements of the intermediaries.

Under the Interim Order, Registered Shareholders are entitled to Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement and the Continuance only if:

(i) in the context of the Arrangement, they follow the procedures specified in the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court; and

6445111.16


(ii) in the context of the Continuance, they follow the procedures specified in the ABCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court.

Registered Shareholders wishing to exercise Dissent Rights should review the requirements summarized in this Circular carefully and consult with such Registered Shareholder's legal counsel. See "Approval of the Arrangement – Arrangement Resolution Dissent Rights" and "Approval of Continuance – Continuance Resolution Dissent Rights". In addition to any other restrictions under Section 190 of the CBCA (as modified or supplemented by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court) and Section 191 of the ABCA, as applicable, Non-Registered Shareholders and holders of securities convertible for Odessa Shares (including Odessa Options and Odessa Agent Options) are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Odessa Shareholders, as a substantial number of Odessa Shareholders do not hold their Odessa Shares in their own name. Odessa Shareholders who do not hold their Odessa Shares in their own name (referred to in this Circular as "Non-Registered Shareholders") should note that only Odessa Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Odessa Shares or their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. If Odessa Shares are listed in an account statement provided to an Odessa Shareholder by a broker, then, in almost all cases, those shares will not be registered in the Odessa Shareholder's name on the records of the Corporation. Such shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Odessa Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the nominee of The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as depositary for many Canadian brokerage firms). Odessa Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Non-Registered Shareholder. Without specific instructions, a broker and its agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, Non-Registered Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Odessa Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory rules require intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of Odessa Shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered Shareholders in order to ensure that their Odessa Shares are voted at the Meeting. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically provides a scannable voting instruction form or applies a special sticker to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Non-Registered Shareholders and asks Non-Registered Shareholders to return the voting instruction forms to Broadridge. Often Non-Registered Shareholders are alternatively provided with a toll-free telephone number to vote their shares or a website address where shares can be voted. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Non-Registered Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form or a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use that voting instruction form or proxy to vote Odessa Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form or proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Odessa Shares voted at the Meeting. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Odessa Shares held through an intermediary, please contact that intermediary for assistance.

Although a Non-Registered Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Odessa Shares registered in the name of their intermediary (or an agent of the intermediary), a Non-Registered Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote

6445111.16


the Odessa Shares in that capacity. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Odessa Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the proxy form or voting instruction form provided to them and return the same to their intermediary (or the agent of the intermediary) in accordance with the instructions provided by such intermediary (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders should follow the instructions on the forms that they receive and contact their intermediaries promptly if they require assistance.

Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to their intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Corporation are referred to as non-objecting beneficial owners or "NOBOs". Those Non-Registered Shareholders who have objected to their intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Corporation are referred to as objecting beneficial owners or "OBOs".

Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 Communication With Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), the Corporation has distributed copies of proxy-related materials in connection with this Meeting (including this Circular) indirectly to all Non-Registered Shareholders. The Corporation will be paying for intermediaries to deliver to OBOs (who have not otherwise waived their right to receive proxy-related materials) copies of the proxy-related materials and related documents. The Corporation is not relying on the notice and access delivery procedures outlined in NI 54-101 to distribute copies of the proxy related materials in connection with the Meeting.

EXERCISE OF PROXIES

Where a choice is specified, the Odessa Shares represented by proxy will be voted for, withheld from voting or voted against, as directed by the Odessa Shareholders, on any poll or ballot that may be called. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted in favour of all matters referred to on the form of proxy. The proxy also confers discretionary authority on the persons designated in the proxy to vote for, withhold from voting, or vote against amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters not specifically mentioned in the Notice of Meeting but which may properly come before the Meeting.

Management has no present knowledge of any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or any business that will be presented at the Meeting other than that referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the person named in the enclosed instrument appointing proxy to vote in accordance with the recommendations of the management of the Corporation.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Corporation is not sending the Meeting Materials to Registered Shareholders or Non-Registered Shareholders using notice-and-access delivery procedures defined under NI 54-101 and National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

VOTING SHARES

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Odessa Shares, of which 20,000,000 are issued and outstanding as of the date thereof, and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, of which nil are issued and outstanding as of the date thereof.

6445111.16


The holders of Odessa Shares of record at the close of business on the record date, set by the directors of the Corporation to be on December 16, 2024 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to vote such Odessa Shares at the Meeting on the basis of one (1) vote for each Odessa Share held, except to the extent that:

  1. such person transfers his, her or its Odessa Shares after the Record Date; and
  2. the transferee of those Odessa Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes his, her or its ownership of the Odessa Shares,

and makes a demand to the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, not later than ten (10) days before the Meeting, that his, her or its name be included on the Odessa Shareholders list for the Meeting.

Odessa Shareholders entitled to vote shall have one (1) vote each on a show of hands and one (1) vote per Odessa Share on a poll.

QUORUM

Under the by-laws of the Corporation, a quorum for the transaction of business is present at a meeting if at least one (1) person is present in person, being a shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting or a duly appointed proxy or representative for an absent shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, who holds or represents by proxy in the aggregate not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the Meeting.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, no person or company beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Odessa Shares.

MAJORITY OF THE MINORITY SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

The Transaction is considered a Business Combination pursuant to MI 61-101. Pursuant to MI 61-101, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by more than 50% of the votes cast by Minority Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. This approval excludes votes attached to Odessa Shares that are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by Odessa, an Interested Party, a Related Party of an Interested Party, or a joint actor with an Interested Party or with a Related Party of an Interested Party. Michel Lassonde (1,000,000 Odessa Shares), André Verrier (1,000,000 Odessa Shares), Richard Morrison (500,000 Odessa Shares) and Pierre Colas (500,000 Odessa Shares) are Interested Parties to the Transaction, and accordingly, the Odessa Shares held or controlled or directed by them will be excluded from the vote on the Arrangement Resolution, resulting in votes attaching to a total of 3,000,000 Odessa Shares being excluded from the vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as described in the Circular, none of the directors or executive officers of the Corporation, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Corporation, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than: (1) the election of directors; (2) as directors and officers they are eligible to receive grants of options under the Odessa Option Plan; and, (3) the Arrangement Resolution as described in this Circular.

6445111.16


See also the section headed "Description of the Transaction – Exchange and Securities Law Matters".

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

The Transaction will be a business combination of Odessa and Margaux and will constitute the Qualifying Transaction of Odessa pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.4. Following the completion of the Transaction, the business of the Resulting Issuer is to be the business of Margaux, which is a real estate investment trust that currently owns and operates three self-storage properties in the Province of Québec. Margaux was established pursuant to the Contract of Trust under the laws of the Province of Québec. For more information, see the discussion under the heading "Information Concerning Margaux".

Pursuant to the proposed Transaction, each issued and outstanding Odessa Share (on a post-consolidation basis) will be exchanged into Margaux Units on a 1:1 basis so that all of the issued and outstanding Odessa Shares will be exchanged for approximately 1,666,666 Margaux Units, as further described below. The deemed price per Margaux Unit will be $1.20 per Margaux Unit. As there will be 4,195,059 Margaux Units outstanding at the Effective Time at a deemed price of $1.20 per Margaux Unit, the deemed value of the Transaction will be $5,034,070.80. There are no finder's fees commissions paid or payable in relation to the Transaction.

EXCHANGE AND SECURITIES LAW MATTERS

Business Combination

MI 61-101 and Exchange Policy 5.9 regulate certain transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders for certain transactions, including Business Combinations. For such transactions, these rules may require certain enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders excluding certain shareholders, independent valuations and, in certain instances, approval and oversight of the transaction by a special committee of independent directors.

The following table sets forth the securities of Odessa and Margaux beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, by Michel Lassonde, the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Odessa, André Verrier, a director of Odessa, Richard Morrison, a director of Odessa, and Pierre Colas, a director of Odessa, and the securities of the Resulting Issuer anticipated to be beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, by

6445111.16


such individuals assuming completion of the Transaction, and the percentage that such securities represent of their class of securities:

Notes:
(1) Assumes that none of the individuals listed above purchases PP Units in the Private Placement.
(2) Held through Sofinat Limitée, a private company controlled by Mr. Lassonde.
(3) 25,000 Margaux Units held through Sofinat Limitée, a private company controlled by Mr. Lassonde.
(4) Held through Gestion Pierre Colas Inc., a private company controlled by Mr. Colas.
(5) 600,000 Odessa Options expired on February 20, 2024, due to the resignation of Mr. Martin Grimard and Mr. Francois Beaudry from the Odessa Board.

MI 61-101 provides that, in certain circumstances, where a Related Party of an issuer is entitled to receive a "collateral benefit" (as defined in MI 61-101) in connection with an arrangement transaction (such as the Arrangement), such transaction may be considered a "business combination" for the purposes of MI 61-101 and subject to the "minority approval" requirements under MI 61-101. Each of the aforementioned directors and/or officers of Odessa is a Related Party of Odessa by virtue of their role as a director and/or senior officer of Odessa.

A "collateral benefit", as defined in MI 61-101, includes any benefit that a Related Party of Odessa (which includes the directors and senior officers of Odessa) is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the Arrangement, including, without limitation, an increase in salary, a lump sum payment, a payment for surrendering securities or other enhancement in benefits related to past or future services as an employee, director or consultant of Odessa.

The issuance of Resulting Issuer/Margaux Options in exchange for the Odessa Options held by each of the aforementioned directors and/or officers of Odessa constitutes a "collateral benefit" within the meaning of MI 61-101, since such issuance represents a payment for surrendering securities. Accordingly, the Transaction is expected to constitute a "business combination" within the meaning of MI 61-101.

Valuation Exemption

Odessa is not required to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101 as Odessa is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsection 4.4(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the Odessa Shares are listed on the Exchange.

6445111.16


Further to subsection 4.2(3) of MI 61-101, Odessa confirms that: (i) neither Odessa nor any of its directors or senior officers are aware of any prior valuation in respect of Odessa that relates to the subject matter of, or is otherwise relevant to, the Transaction, that has been made in the 24 months preceding the date of this Circular; and (ii) Odessa did not receive any bona fide prior offer relating to the subject matter of, or otherwise being relevant to, the Transaction, during the 24 months before the date of execution of the Arrangement Agreement.

Majority of the Minority Shareholder Approval

Pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.9 and MI 61-101, the Transaction must be approved by more than 50% of the votes cast by Minority Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

For the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Minority Shareholders for the Arrangement Resolution, votes attached to the Odessa Shares that, to the knowledge of Odessa or any Interested Party or their respective directors or senior officers, after reasonable inquiry, are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by Odessa, an Interested Party, a Related Party of an Interested Party, or a joint actor with an Interested Party or with a Related Party of an Interested Party, must be excluded from the vote.

André Verrier, Richard Morrison and Pierre Colas are Interested Parties to the Transaction, and accordingly, the 1,000,000 Odessa Shares, 1,000,000 Odessa Shares, 500,000 Odessa Shares and 500,000 Odessa Shares held or controlled or directed by them, respectively, will be excluded from the vote on the Arrangement Resolution, resulting in votes attaching to a total of 3,000,000 Odessa Shares being excluded from the vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

Background to the Transaction

The Corporation was formed with the intention of it being listed on the Exchange as a CPC with the principal business of identifying and evaluation business and assets with a view to complete a Qualifying Transaction.

Following its listing on the Exchange, the Corporation sourced, identified and evaluated a number of business and assets for the purpose of completing a Qualifying Transaction.

The opportunity to acquire Margaux was first identified by certain members of the Odessa Board who were also trustees of Margaux and had knowledge concerning the success of Margaux's self-storage business and its intention to expand. Based on these factors, the Odessa Board recognized Margaux as a potential target for Odessa's qualifying transaction. The Odessa Board then reviewed Margaux and the potential for a business combination with the company. Negotiation of the terms were then conducted between the Odessa Board and the Margaux Board, and was approved by the independent directors.

Approval Process

The directors of Odessa reviewed the terms of the Transaction and considered all factors they deemed necessary to be considered based on the information available to them. Accordingly, after careful consideration, the Odessa Board concluded that the Transaction is in the best interests of Odessa and its shareholders, unanimously (with Michel Lassonde and Pierre Colas abstaining) approved the Transaction, and unanimously recommends approval of the Transaction. The Odessa Board reviewed various factors relating to Margaux and a potential business combination with the company, including, without limitation:

(a) Margaux's financial statements and projections;

6445111.16


(b) Margaux's business presentation; and
(c) overall market conditions for the self-storage industry.

The Odessa Board believes that the Transaction is in the best interests of Odessa and Odessa Shareholders and that the Transaction provides a number of benefits, including the opportunity to participate in a combined entity which the Odessa Board believes:

(a) is an emerging provider of self-storage facilities and will act as a consolidator in a market which is highly fragmented in Quebec and in Canada as a whole;
(b) will provide an opportunity for shareholders of Odessa to participate in a real estate investment trust under the leadership of a management team and a board of trustees comprised of an experienced team of business professionals;
(c) will have greater financial and human resources, enabling it to more effectively undertake the development of its business and opportunities; and
(d) will have increased market capitalization, resulting in improved liquidity for shareholders and a potential increased ability to secure financing.

Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction

Pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.4, the Transaction is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" as there is no party or parties that are Control Persons (as defined under the policies of the Exchange) in both Odessa and Margaux.

APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Corporation adopted a 10% "rolling" incentive stock option plan (the "Odessa Option Plan"), dated effective March 24, 2023. The rules of the Exchange provide that a rolling stock option plan must be re-approved by shareholders every year. At the Meeting, Odessa Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution that approves and ratifies the Odessa Option Plan.

The purpose of the Odessa Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by encouraging the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation to acquire Odessa Shares, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Corporation, encouraging them to remain associated with the Corporation and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Corporation in the conduct of its affairs.

The following information is intended as a brief description of the Odessa Option Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Odessa Option Plan itself, the full text of which is attached as Appendix "J".

The Odessa Option Plan

The Odessa Option Plan is administered by the Board, but may be administered by a committee of the Board to which the Board has delegated its duties and powers under the Odessa Option Plan. Under the Odessa Option Plan, the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements and applicable securities legislation, grant to directors, officers, employees consultants and other personnel of Odessa, non-transferable Odessa Options to purchase Odessa Shares.

The material terms of the Odessa Option Plan are as follows:

(a) the total number of Odessa Shares reserved for issuance under the Odessa Option Plan at any point in time is 10% of the issued and outstanding Odessa Shares at the time the Odessa Shares are reserved for issuance as a result of the grant;

(b) Odessa Options that are cancelled, terminated or expired prior to exercise of all or a portion thereof shall result in the Odessa Shares that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available for a subsequent grant of Odessa Options pursuant to the Odessa Option Plan. As the Odessa Option Plan is a "rolling" plan, the issuance of additional Odessa Shares by the Corporation or the exercise of Odessa Options will also give rise to additional availability under the Odessa Option Plan;

(c) While the Corporation is a CPC, the maximum aggregate number of Odessa Shares which may be reserved for issuance to any individual director or senior officer pursuant to the Odessa Option Plan shall not exceed 5% of the Odessa Shares issued and outstanding as at the time of grant;

(d) without the prior approval of the disinterested shareholders, the Board may not: (i) grant Odessa Options to a single individual, other than a consultant, which would allow for such individual to purchase a number of Odessa Shares equaling more than 5% of the issued Odessa Shares of the Corporation in any twelve (12) month period; (ii) grant to Insiders Odessa Options which would allow Insiders to purchase a number of Odessa Shares equaling more than 10% of the issued Odessa Shares of the Corporation; (iii) issue to Insiders Odessa Shares pursuant to the Odessa Option Plan or any other share compensation arrangement in any twelve (12) month period equaling more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Odessa Shares of the Corporation; and (iv) reduce the exercise

6445111.16


price or extend the term of any outstanding Odessa Options held by insiders of the Corporation (as defined in the Exchange policies). Subject to the policies, rules and regulations of any lawful authority having jurisdiction (including the Exchange), the Board may amend the Odessa Option Plan and Odessa Options granted thereunder at any time;

(e) the maximum number of Odessa Shares reserved for issuance, within a twelve (12) month period, pursuant to the Odessa Option Plan, to any one (1) consultant of the Corporation (or its subsidiaries), shall not exceed 2% of the number of issued and outstanding Odessa Shares, calculated as at the date of grant;

(f) while the Corporation is a CPC, the aggregate maximum number of Odessa Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Odessa Options granted to all technical consultants must not exceed 2% of the Odessa Shares outstanding as at the date of grant;

(g) the maximum number of Odessa Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Odessa Option Plan, within a twelve (12) month period, to persons providing investor relations activities, in aggregate shall not exceed 2% of the number of issued and outstanding Odessa Shares, calculated as at the date of grant;

(h) All Odessa Options granted will be evidenced by a stock option agreement;

(i) an Odessa Option shall be exercisable for a maximum term of ten (10) years and shall vest as determined by the Board; and

(j) If an optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or its subsidiaries for any reason other than death, the optionee may, but only within the later of: (i) 12 months after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Policy 2.4) by the Corporation; and (ii) ninety (90) days after the optionee's ceasing to be a director, officer, employee or consultant (or 30 days in the case of an optionee engaged in investor relations activities) or prior to the expiry of the option period, whichever is earlier, exercise any Odessa Option held by the optionee, but only to the extent that the optionee was entitled to exercise the Odessa Option at the date of such cessation.

(k) In the event of the death of an optionee, the Odessa Options previously granted to the optionee shall be exercisable within one (1) year following the date of the death of the optionee or prior to the expiry of the option period, whichever is earlier, and then only (i) by the person or persons to whom the optionee's rights under the Odessa Options shall pass by the optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution, or by the optionee's legal personal representative; and (ii) to the extent that the optionee was entitled to exercise the Odessa Option at the date of the optionee's death.

Subject to the policies of the Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Odessa Shares are listed (the "Subject Exchange"), and any limitations imposed by any relevant regulatory authority, the exercise price of the Odessa Options granted pursuant to the Odessa Option Plan is determined by the Odessa Board at the time of grant, provided that the exercise price shall be an amount at least equal to the Discounted Market Price of the Odessa Shares (provided that while Odessa is a CPC the exercise price of a Odessa Option granted under the Odessa Plan may not be less than the greater of (i) the price at which Odessa Shares are sold pursuant to the seed share offering of Odessa (being $0.05 per Odessa Share), and (ii) the Discounted Market Price of the Odessa Shares). For the purposes of the Odessa Option Plan, "Discounted Market Price" means the last per share closing price for the Odessa Shares on the Subject Exchange before

6445111.16


the date of grant of an Odessa Option, less any applicable discount under the policies of the Subject Exchange.

Notwithstanding the terms of the Odessa Option Plan described above, Exchange Policy 2.4 imposes certain restrictions on incentive stock options during the period that Odessa remains a CPC. Such restrictions shall remain in place until the Exchange issues the Final QT Exchange Bulletin (such bulletin indicating that the Resulting Issuer will not be considered a CPC).

Existing Stock Options

Odessa currently has 1,400,000 Odessa Options outstanding.

Approval of Stock Option Plan

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution in the form set out below (the "Stock Option Plan Resolution"):

"BE IT RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of Odessa Capital Ltd. (the "Corporation") that:

(1) the stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") of the Corporation in the form of the Stock Option Plan attached as Appendix "J" to the management information circular of the Corporation dated December 30, 2024, be and is hereby approved with such modifications as may be required by the TSX Venture Exchange;

(2) the maximum number of common shares of the Corporation which may be issued under the Plan shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation from time to time; and

(3) any director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed to do and perform all such acts and things and to execute and deliver or cause to be delivered, for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation (whether under the seal of the Corporation or otherwise) all such agreements, instruments and other documents as in such individual's opinion may be necessary or desirable to perform the terms of this resolution."

Unless otherwise directed, the persons designated as proxyholders in the enclosed proxy intend to vote FOR the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

APPROVAL OF RESULTING ISSUER STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Corporation's current stock option plan is the Odessa Option Plan. For a detailed description of the Odessa Option Plan, see the discussion under the section headed "Business to be Conducted at the Meeting – Approval of Stock Option Plan – The Odessa Option Plan".

At the Effective Time, the sole stock option plan of the Resulting Issuer will be the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix "K". The Resulting Issuer Option Plan will be a 20% "fixed" stock option plan, which provides that the number of Resulting Issuer Units issuable pursuant to outstanding options must not exceed that number of Resulting Issuer Units equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units on the date of the implementation of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, being 1,412,345 Resulting Issuer Units assuming the completion of the Maximum Private Placement. If the Maximum Private Placement is not reached, the Resulting Issuer Option Plan will be amended, without

6445111.16


further Odessa Shareholder approval, to reflect the correct number of Resulting Issuer Units which would equal 20% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units on the date of the implementation of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. The Resulting Issuer Option Plan is subject to requisite Margaux Unitholder and Exchange approval being obtained. Should the Resulting Issuer Option Plan not receive the required approvals, the Odessa Option Plan will continue to be the sole stock option plan of Odessa in effect.

Disinterested Shareholder Approval

As more particularly described below, the Resulting Issuer Option Plan contains certain limitations on the aggregate number of Resulting Issuer Units that may be issued pursuant to Security Based Compensation (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), including Resulting Issuer Options, that may be granted or issued to eligible Participants (as such term is defined in Exchange Policy 4.4) by the Resulting Issuer, unless disinterested unitholder approval is obtained. Since the Odessa Shareholders will become Resulting Issuer Unitholders pursuant to the Transaction, the Corporation is seeking approval from disinterested shareholders of the corporation, who will become disinterested unitholders of the Resulting Issuer following the completion of the Transaction. The limitations in respect of which disinterested shareholder approval is sought are:

(a) the number of Resulting Issuer Units issuable pursuant to Resulting Issuer Options granted (and any other Security Based Compensation granted or issued) in any 12-month period to any one person may not exceed five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained;

(b) The maximum aggregate number of Resulting Issuer Units issuable pursuant to Resulting Issuer Options granted (and any other Security Based Compensation granted or issued) to insiders of the Resulting Issuer (as a group) must not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units at any point in time, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained; and

(c) the maximum aggregate number of Resulting Issuer Units issuable pursuant to Resulting Issuer Options granted (and any other Security Based Compensation granted or issued) in any 12-month period to insiders of the Resulting Issuer (as a group) must not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, calculated as at the date the Resulting Issuer Option is granted to any insider, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained.

As the Odessa Shareholders will become Resulting Issuer Unitholders at the Effective Time, and in order to ensure approval of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan by all Resulting Issuer Unitholders following the Effective Time and permit the Resulting Issuer to issue Resulting Issuer Options in excess of these limitations, at the Meeting, disinterested Odessa Shareholders will be asked to vote on an ordinary resolution to approve, for the ensuing year, the Resulting Issuer Option Plan as described below. For the purpose of this ordinary resolution, the approval by the disinterested Odessa Shareholders will exclude votes attaching to Odessa Shares beneficially owned by Insiders (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) to whom, at the Effective Time, Resulting Issuer Options may be granted under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan and their Associates and Affiliates (as such terms are defined in the policies of the Exchange). Michel Lassonde, André Verrier, Richard Morrison and Pierre Colas are Insiders, and accordingly, the 1,000,000 Odessa Shares, 1,000,000 Odessa Shares, 500,000 Odessa Shares and 500,000 Odessa Shares held or controlled or directed by them, respectively, will be excluded from the vote on the Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution (as defined below), resulting in votes attaching to a total of 3,000,000 Odessa Shares being excluded from the vote on the Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution.

6445111.16


The following information is intended as a brief description of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Resulting Issuer Option Plan itself, the full text of which is attached as Appendix "K".

The Resulting Issuer Option Plan

The Resulting Issuer Option Plan is administered by the Resulting Issuer Board, but may be administered by a committee of the Resulting Issuer Board to which the Resulting Issuer Board has delegated its duties and powers under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. Under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, the Resulting Issuer Board may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements and applicable securities legislation, grant to trustees, officers, employees consultants and other personnel of the Resulting Issuer, non-transferable Resulting Issuer Options to purchase Resulting Issuer Units.

The material terms of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan are as follows:

(a) the total number of Resulting Issuer Shares reserved for issuance under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan at any point in time is 20% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units as at the date the Resulting Issuer Unitholders approve the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, being 1,412,345 Resulting Issuer Units;

(b) Resulting Issuer Options that are cancelled, terminated or expired prior to exercise of all or a portion thereof shall result in the Resulting Issuer Units that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available for a subsequent grant of Resulting Issuer Options pursuant to the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. As the Resulting Issuer Option Plan is a "fixed" plan, the issuance of additional Resulting Issuer Units by the Resulting Issuer or the exercise of Resulting Issuer Options will not give rise to additional availability under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan;

(c) without the prior approval of the disinterested unitholders, the Resulting Issuer Board may not: (i) grant Resulting Issuer Options to a single individual, other than a consultant, which would allow for such individual to purchase a number of Resulting Issuer Units equaling more than 5% of the issued Resulting Issuer Units of the Resulting Issuer in any twelve (12) month period; (ii) grant to Insiders Resulting Issuer Options which would allow Insiders to purchase a number of Resulting Issuer Units equaling more than 10% of the issued Resulting Issuer Units of the Resulting Issuer; (iii) issue to Insiders Resulting Issuer Units pursuant to the Resulting Issuer Option Plan or any other share compensation arrangement in any twelve (12) month period equaling more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units of the Corporation; and (iv) reduce the exercise price or extend the term of any outstanding Resulting Issuer Options held by insiders of the Resulting Issuer (as defined in the Exchange policies). Subject to the policies, rules and regulations of any lawful authority having jurisdiction (including the Exchange), the Resulting Issuer Board may amend the Resulting Issuer Option Plan and Resulting Issuer Options granted thereunder at any time;

(d) the maximum number of Resulting Issuer Shares reserved for issuance, within a twelve (12) month period, pursuant to the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, to any one (1) consultant of the Resulting Issuer (or its subsidiaries), shall not exceed 2% of the number of issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, calculated as at the date of grant;

(e) the maximum number of Resulting Issuer Units reserved for issuance pursuant to the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, within a twelve (12) month period, to persons providing investor relations activities, in aggregate shall not exceed 2% of the number of issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, calculated as at the date of grant;

6445111.16


(f) All Resulting Issuer Options granted will be evidenced by a stock option agreement;

(g) a Resulting Issuer Option shall be exercisable for a maximum term of ten (10) years and shall vest as determined by the Resulting Issuer Board; and

(h) If an optionee ceases to be a trustee, officer, employee or consultant of the Resulting Issuer or its subsidiaries for any reason other than death, the optionee may, but only within the later of: (i) 12 months after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Policy 2.4) by the Resulting Issuer; and (ii) ninety (90) days after the optionee’s ceasing to be a trustee, officer, employee or consultant (or 30 days in the case of an optionee engaged in investor relations activities) or prior to the expiry of the option period, whichever is earlier, exercise any Resulting Issuer Option held by the optionee, but only to the extent that the optionee was entitled to exercise the Resulting Issuer Option at the date of such cessation.

(i) The Resulting Issuer shall have the power, in the event of: (i) any disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Resulting Issuer, or the dissolution, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Resulting Issuer with or into any other trust or of such trust into the Resulting Issuer, or (ii) any change in control of the Resulting Issuer, to make such arrangements as it shall deem appropriate for the exercise of outstanding Resulting Issuer Options or continuance of outstanding Resulting Issuer Options. If the Resulting Issuer shall exercise such power, the Resulting Issuer Option shall be deemed to have been amended to permit the exercise thereof in whole or in part by the optionee at any time or from time to time as determined by the Resulting Issuer prior to the completion of such transaction. In the event of the proposed acceleration of the vesting requirements prescribed by the Exchange at Section 4.4(c) of Exchange Policy 4.4 for Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers, such acceleration of the prescribed vesting requirements shall not be permitted without prior Exchange approval.

(j) In the event of the death of an optionee, the Resulting Issuer Option previously granted to him shall be exercisable within one (1) year following the date of the death of the optionee or prior to the expiry of the option period, whichever is earlier, and then only: (a) by the person or persons to whom the optionee’s rights under the Resulting Issuer Option shall pass by the optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, or by the optionee’s legal personal representative; and (b) to the extent that the optionee was entitled to exercise the Resulting Issuer Option at the date of the optionee’s death.

Subject to the policies of the Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Resulting Issuer Units are listed (the "Subject Exchange"), and any limitations imposed by any relevant regulatory authority, the exercise price of the Resulting Issuer Options granted pursuant to the Resulting Issuer Option Plan is determined by the Resulting Issuer Board at the time of grant, provided that the exercise price shall be an amount at least equal to the Discounted Market Price of the Resulting Issuer Units. For the purposes of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, "Discounted Market Price" means the last per share closing price for the Resulting Issuer Units on the Subject Exchange before the date of grant of a Resulting Issuer Option, less any applicable discount under the policies of the Subject Exchange.

Approval of Resulting Issuer Stock Option Plan

At the Meeting, Odessa Shareholders will be asked to consider, and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution in the form set out below (the "Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution"):

(c) the aggregate number of Resulting Issuer Units that are issuable pursuant to all Security Based Compensation granted or issued in any 12 month period to any one Person (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) (and where permitted under the policies of the Exchange, any Companies (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) that are wholly owned by that Person) exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Units, calculated as at the date any Security Based Compensation is granted or issued to the Person;

The Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution must be approved by a simple majority approval of the votes cast at the Meeting by the disinterested Odessa Shareholders. Unless otherwise directed, the persons designated as proxyholders in the enclosed proxy intend to vote FOR the Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution.

APPROVAL OF THE ARRANGEMENT

At the Meeting, the Odessa Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the Arrangement Resolution, as set forth in Appendix "A" to this Circular, to approve the Arrangement, with such Arrangement constituting the Qualifying Transaction of the Corporation. For additional information about the Transaction see the section headed "Description of the Transaction – Arrangement".

Arrangement Resolution Dissent Rights

The following description of dissent rights to which Dissenting Arrangement Shareholders are entitled is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder's Odessa Shares and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of the Interim Order, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix "O", the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix "P", and the text of Section 190 of the CBCA, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix "S". Pursuant to the Interim Order, Dissenting Arrangement Shareholders are given rights analogous to rights of dissenting shareholders under the CBCA. The CBCA requires strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters' rights. Accordingly, each Odessa Shareholder who might desire to exercise dissent rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the section, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, and consult such Odessa Shareholder's legal advisors.

The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Arrangement Resolution Dissent Rights described herein based on the evidence presented at such hearing.

Under the Interim Order, Odessa Shareholders are entitled, in addition to any other rights the holder may have, to dissent in respect of the Arrangement. Provided the Arrangement is approved, each Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder will be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Odessa Shares in respect of which such Shareholder dissents in accordance with the Interim Order. Persons who are beneficial owners of Odessa Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered holders of such Odessa Shares are entitled to dissent.

6445111.16


Accordingly, beneficial owners of Odessa Shares desiring to exercise dissent rights must make arrangements for the Odessa Shares beneficially owned by such person to be registered in his, her or its name, or alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of the Odessa Shares to dissent on their behalf. See Appendix "O" to this Circular for the full text of the Interim Order.

An Odessa Shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to their Odessa Shares in respect of the Arrangement Resolution if they vote any of such shares in favor of any resolution authorizing the Arrangement. Further, a Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder may only exercise dissent rights with respect to all the shares held by such Odessa Shareholder or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder.

All notices to the Corporation pursuant to the Interim Order should be addressed to the Corporation at 180 ch. des Patriotes Sud, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Québec, J3H 5J3, Attention: Michel Lassonde, or by email to [email protected]. In order to be effective, a written notice of dissent must be received no later than the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Corporation may elect not to proceed with the Transaction if any notices of dissent are received.

Arrangement Resolution

At the Meeting, the Odessa Shareholders will be asked to consider, and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a resolution in the form set forth in Appendix "A" to this Circular approving the Transaction constituting the Qualifying Transaction of the Corporation (the "Arrangement Resolution")

The Arrangement Resolution requires the approval of:

(a) at least $66^{2/3}\%$ of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by the Odessa Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and
(b) at least a majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by the Minority Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

A total of 3,000,000 will be excluded from the minority approval vote. See "Description of the Transaction – Exchange and Securities Law Matters".

The Odessa Board recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution. Unless otherwise directed, the persons designated as proxyholders in the enclosed proxy intend to vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

APPROVAL OF CONTINUANCE

The Corporation is currently governed by the ABCA. In connection with the Transaction, shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider, and if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution authorizing the continuance (the "Continuance") of the Corporation from the ABCA to the CBCA. The Continuance, if approved, will change the legal domicile of the Corporation and will affect certain rights of the Shareholders as they currently exist under the ABCA. Accordingly, Shareholders should consult their own independent legal advisors regarding implications of the Continuance which may be of particular importance to them.

If the special resolution approving the Continuance is approved at the Meeting, it will give the Board authority to implement the Continuance. Notwithstanding approval of the proposed Continuance by

6445111.16


Shareholders, the Board, in its sole discretion, may revoke the special resolution and abandon the Continuance without further approval or action by, or prior notice to, Shareholders.

In connection with the Continuance, the existing by-laws of the Corporation will be repealed and the Corporation will adopt by-laws which are suitable for a CBCA corporation, but which in all material respects are similar to the current by-laws of the Corporation. The proposed by-laws of the Corporation have been attached hereto as Appendix "Q".

Reasons for the Continuance

The approval of the Continuance by Shareholders at the Meeting and the completion of the Continuance are conditions to the completion of the Transaction. Consequently, in connection with the Transaction, the Board has determined that, subject to completion of the Transaction, it is in the best interests of the Corporation to be governed by the CBCA.

Procedure to Effect Continuance

In order to effect the Continuance, the following steps must be taken:

(a) The Shareholders must approve the Continuance resolution at the Meeting, authorizing the Corporation to, among other things, file articles of continuance (the "Articles of Continuance") with the Director appointed under the CBCA requesting that the Corporation be continued as if it had been incorporated under the CBCA;

(b) The Registrar of Corporations under the ABCA must approve the proposed Continuance under the CBCA, upon being satisfied that the Continuance will not adversely affect creditors or shareholders of the Corporation;

(c) The Corporation must file the Articles of Continuance; and

(d) The Corporation must file a notice of continuance with the Registrar of Corporations under the ABCA, who will then issues a certificate of discontinuance.

On the date shown on the certificate of discontinuance, the Corporation becomes a corporation under the CBCA as if it had been incorporated under the CBCA.

General Effects of Continuance

The Continuance does not create a new legal entity, nor will it prejudice or affect the continuity of the Corporation. The Continuance will not result in any change in the business of the Corporation. Under the CBCA, upon Continuance, the Corporation will continue to: (i) possess all of the Corporation's property, rights and privileges; (ii) be subject to all of the liabilities, including civil, criminal or quasi-criminal and all contracts, disabilities and debts of the Corporation; (iii) be subject to the enforcement by or against the Corporation of a conviction, or ruling, order or judgment in favour of or against the Corporation; and (iv) be the party plaintiff or the party defendant, as the case may be, in any civil action commenced by or against the Corporation. Furthermore, any Common Shares issued before the Continuance are deemed to have been issued in compliance with the CBCA and with the Articles of Continuance. Shareholders should consult their professional advisors with respect to the detailed provisions of the CBCA and their rights thereunder.

Certain Corporate Differences Between the ABCA and the CBCA

6445111.16


The following is a summary only of certain differences and similarities between the CBCA, the statute that will govern the corporate affairs of the Corporation upon the Continuance, and the ABCA, the statute which currently governs the corporate affairs of the Corporation.

In approving the Continuance, the Odessa Shareholders will be approving the adoption of the Articles of Continuance and will be agreeing to hold securities in a corporation governed by the CBCA. This Circular summarizes some of the differences that could materially affect the rights and obligations of shareholders after giving effect to the Continuance. In exercising their vote, Odessa Shareholders should consider the distinctions between the CBCA and the ABCA, only some of which are outlined below.

Notwithstanding the alteration of Odessa Shareholders' rights and obligations under the CBCA and the proposed Continuance, the Corporation will still be bound by the rules and policies of the Exchange, the Alberta Securities Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission, and the Québec Autorité des Marchés Financiers as well as any other applicable securities legislation.

Nothing that follows should be construed as legal advice to any particular Odessa Shareholder, all of whom are advised to consult their own legal advisors respecting all of the implications of the Continuance. The following is a summary only. Reference should be made to the full text of both statutes and the regulations thereunder for particulars of the differences between them.

Constating Documents

Under the ABCA, the constating documents consist of "articles", which set forth the name of the Corporation and the amount and type of authorized capital and "bylaws", which govern the management of the Corporation. The articles are filed with the Alberta Registrar and the bylaws are maintained with the Corporation's registered office. Under the CBCA, the Corporation has "articles of incorporation", which set forth the name of the Corporation, the province in Canada where the registered office is to be situated and the numbers and classes of authorized shares of the corporation, and "by-laws", which govern the general management of the Corporation. The articles of incorporation are filed with the Director; the by-laws are not required to be filed with the Director but a copy is maintained at the Corporation's registered office.

Amendments to the Constating Documents

The CBCA and ABCA both require a two-thirds (2/3) majority vote to make substantive changes to the Corporation's constating documents.

Other fundamental changes pursuant to both the CBCA and ABCA, such as an alteration of the special rights and restrictions attached to issued shares or a proposed amalgamation or continuation of a corporation out of the jurisdiction, require a similar special resolution passed by the holders of shares of each class entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and the holders of all classes of shares adversely affected by an alteration of special rights and restrictions.

Sale of the Corporation's Undertaking

Under the CBCA and ABCA, the approval of the shareholders of a corporation represented at a duly called meeting to which are attached not less than two-thirds of the votes entitled to vote upon a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation, and, where the class or series is affected by the sale, lease or exchange in a manner different from another class or series, the holders of shares of that class or series are entitled to vote separately as a class or series. Each share of the corporation

6445111.16


carries the right to vote in respect of the sale, lease or exchange whether or not it otherwise carries the right to vote.

Oppression Remedies

Under the CBCA, a shareholder, former shareholder, director, former director, officer or former officer of a corporation or any of its affiliates, or any other person who, in the discretion of a court, is a proper person to seek an oppression remedy may apply to a court for an order to rectify the matters complained of where, in respect of a corporation or any of its affiliates, any act or omission of the corporation or its affiliates effects a result, or the business or affairs of the corporation or its affiliates are or have been carried on or conducted in a manner or the powers of the directors of the corporation or any of its affiliates are or have been exercised in a manner, that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to, or that unfairly disregards the interest of, any security holder, creditor, director or officer. The ABCA provides a substantially similar right.

Shareholder Derivative Actions

Under the CBCA, a shareholder, director, officer, former shareholder, former director and former officer of a corporation or its affiliates, and any person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make an application to court to bring a derivative action, may apply to the court for leave to bring an action in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or intervene in an action to which any such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the body corporate. The ABCA provides a substantially similar right.

Requisition of Meetings

The ABCA provides that one or more shareholders of a corporation holding at least 5% of the issued voting shares of a corporation may give notice to the directors requiring them to call and hold a general meeting. The CBCA also provides a substantially similar right.

Form of Proxy and Information Circular for Reporting Issuers

Under the ABCA, management of a reporting issuer must provide a form of proxy to each shareholder concurrently with giving notice of a meeting of shareholders. Management must also send an information circular in prescribed form if proxies are solicited by or on behalf of management. Reporting issuers governed by the ABCA must also comply with applicable securities legislation. For reporting issuers incorporated under the CBCA, these requirements are governed by both the CBCA and any applicable securities legislation.

Indemnification

The CBCA allows a corporation to indemnify a director or former director or officer or former officer of a corporation or its affiliates against all liability and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in a proceeding to which he or she is made party by reason of being or having been a director or officer if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and, in cases where an action is or was substantially successful on the merits of his or her defence of the action or proceeding against him or her in his capacity as a director or officer. The ABCA also provides a similar right.

Financial Assistance

6445111.16


The ABCA provides that a corporation may give financial assistance to any person for any purpose, subject to certain disclosure obligations. Under the CBCA there are no such disclosure obligations.

Place of Meetings

Under the CBCA, a shareholders’ meeting may be held any place in Canada provided in the by-laws or, in the absence of such provision, at a place in Canada that the directors determine (including outside Canada), in the absence of such a determination, at the place where the registered office of a corporation is located. No such provision applies under the ABCA.

Directors

The CBCA provides that a distributing corporation must have at least three directors, at least two of whom are not officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates. The CBCA requires that at least one quarter of a corporation's directors be resident Canadians (unless the corporation has fewer than four directors in which case at least one must be a Canadian resident), and imposes no residency requirements on committees.

The ABCA provides that a distributing corporation must have at least three directors, at least two of whom are not officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates. There is also a requirement that at least one quarter of a corporation's directors, and at least one quarter of the members of any committee of directors, must be resident Canadians.

Record Date for Voting

The ABCA permits a transferee of shares after the record date for a shareholder meeting, not later than 10 days before the shareholder meeting, to establish a right to vote at the meeting by providing evidence of ownership of shares and demanding that the transferee's name be placed on the voting list in place of the transferor. The CBCA does not have an equivalent provision.

Notice of Shareholder Meetings

Under the ABCA, a public corporation must give notice of a meeting of shareholders not less than 21 days and not more than 50 days before the meeting. Under the CBCA, such notice must be provided not less than 21 days and not more than 60 days before the meeting. Public corporations incorporated under either statute are currently subject to the requirements of NI 54-101.

Stock Splits or Consolidation

Under the CBCA, a special resolution of shareholders is needed to change shares in a class into a different number of shares of the same class.

The ABCA permits a directors' resolution to authorize a stock split where the only issued shares of a corporation are of one class. If the directors authorize the splitting of shares in accordance with the foregoing, they must notify the shareholders within sixty (60) days. If more than one class of shares is outstanding, the holders of each class, voting separately as a class, must approve the split by special resolution.

Shareholder Proposals

6445111.16


Both the ABCA and the CBCA provide for shareholder proposals. Under the CBCA, a registered or beneficial owner of shares entitled to be voted at a meeting may submit a proposal, although the registered or beneficial shareholder must either: (i) have owned for six months not less than 1% of the total number of voting shares or voting shares with a fair market value of at least $2,000, or (ii) have the support of persons who have owned for six months not less than 1% of the total number of voting shares or voting shares with a fair market value of at least $2,000.

Rights of Dissent and Appraisal

Under both the ABCA and the CBCA, shareholders have substantially the same rights of dissent if a corporation resolves to effect certain fundamental changes. The dissent right is applicable where the corporation proposes to: (a) amend its articles to add, change or remove any restriction on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of a particular class or series, or to add, change or remove any restriction on the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on or upon the powers that the corporation may exercise; (b) continue under the laws of another jurisdiction; (c) sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its property; (d) amalgamate with another corporation; and (e) sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all its property. Under both the ABCA and the CBCA, a dissenting shareholder may send the corporation a written objection to the resolution at or before the meeting. Under the CBCA, a corporation must, within 10 days of the passing of the resolution to which the shareholder dissents, send notice to the dissenting shareholder. The dissenting shareholder, within 20 days of receiving notice from the corporation, must send the corporation notice of his demand for payment of the fair value of his shares and his relevant personal information. Within 30 days of this notice, the dissenting shareholder must send the corporation, or its transfer agent, his share certificates. No more than seven days after the later of receiving notice from the dissenting shareholder or the date the action approved in the resolution become effective, the corporation must make an offer to pay. The corporation or the dissenting shareholder may apply to court to fix a fair value for the shares of the dissenting shareholder.

Under the ABCA, once the resolution is adopted, any dissenting shareholder or the corporation may make an application to the court to fix the fair value of his shares. If an application is made, the corporation must send an offer to pay an amount considered by the corporation to be the fair value of the shares to each dissenting shareholder. The dissenting shareholders may accept the offer to pay from the corporation or wait for a court order fixing the fair value of the shares.

Continuance Resolution Dissent Rights

The following description of dissent rights to which Dissenting Continuance Shareholders are entitled is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Continuance Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Continuance Shareholder's Odessa Shares and is qualified in its entirety by the text of Section 191 of the ABCA, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix "R". The ABCA requires strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters' rights. Accordingly, each Odessa Shareholder who might desire to exercise dissent rights in respect of the Continuance Resolution should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the section and consult such Odessa Shareholder's legal advisors.

Under Section 191 of the ABCA, provided the Arrangement Resolution is approved, each Dissenting Continuance Shareholder will be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Odessa Shares in respect of which such Shareholder dissents in accordance with the Interim Order. Persons who are beneficial owners of Odessa Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered holders of such Odessa Shares are entitled to dissent.

6445111.16


Accordingly, beneficial owners of Odessa Shares desiring to exercise dissent rights must make arrangements for the Odessa Shares beneficially owned by such person to be registered in his, her or its name, or alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of the Odessa Shares to dissent on their behalf. See Appendix "R" to this Circular for the full text of Section 191 of the ABCA.

An Odessa Shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to their Odessa Shares if they vote any of such shares in favor of any resolution authorizing the Continuance. Further, a Dissenting Continuance Shareholder may only exercise dissent rights with respect to all the shares held by such Odessa Shareholder or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the Dissenting Continuance Shareholder.

All notices to the Corporation pursuant to Section 191 of the ABCA should be addressed to the Corporation at 800, 333 – 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB, T2P 2Z1, Attention: Dale Burstall, or by email to [email protected]. In order to be effective, a written notice of dissent must be received no later than the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Corporation may elect not to proceed with the Continuance if any notices of dissent are received.

Continuance Resolution

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without variation, the special resolution authorizing the Continuance and the adoption of a new general by-law. The text of the resolution that will be presented at the Meeting is as follows:

  3. Notwithstanding that this special resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Corporation, the directors of the Corporation be, and they hereby are, authorized and empowered to revoke this special resolution at any time before it is acted on and to determine not to proceed with the continuance of the Corporation under the CBCA without further approval of the shareholders of the Corporation."

Unless otherwise directed to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote proxies IN FAVOUR of the special resolution approving the Continuance. In order to be effective, the foregoing special resolution must be approved by not less than 66²/³% of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Odessa Shareholders voting in person or by proxy.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

History

Odessa was formed as a CPC and to date has not carried on any operations. The principal business of Odessa has been to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction and, having identified and evaluated such opportunities, to negotiate an acquisition or participation subject to acceptance by the Exchange. The Transaction is anticipated to be Odessa's Qualifying Transaction.

Prior to completing its initial public offering and listing on the Exchange, Odessa issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 Odessa Shares at a price of $0.05 per Odessa Share for gross proceeds of $250,000.

On August 3, 2023, Odessa completed its initial public offering of 15,000,000 Odessa Shares at a price of $0.10 per Odessa Share by way of a prospectus dated June 22, 2023, filed in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Québec, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000.

On March 15, 2024, Odessa entered into the LOI with Margaux and the Odessa Shares were halted on the Exchange pending further disclosure regarding the Transaction.

On July 22, 2024, Odessa, Newco and Margaux entered into the Arrangement Agreement. The LOI was superseded by the Arrangement Agreement. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Odessa will amalgamate with Newco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Margaux.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

For a description of the Private Placement, please see the discussion under the heading "Description of the Transaction – Private Placement" further above.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND MD&A

Since Odessa is a CPC, other than its IPO, its business to date has consisted solely of identifying a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Since incorporation, Odessa has incurred costs in carrying out its IPO, in seeking, evaluating and negotiating a potential Qualifying Transaction, and in meeting the disclosure obligations imposed upon it as a reporting issuer. The following tables set out selected historical financial information for Odessa for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2024. This selected financial information has been derived from the Odessa Financial Statements, which are attached to this Circular as Appendix "B" and Appendix "D", and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements:

Income Statement Data Year Ended December 31, 2023 (audited) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (unaudited)
Total revenues $28,999 $50,882
Total expenses $210,235 $152,742

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

The Board views effective corporate governance as an essential element for the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The Corporation believes that effective corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all of its Shareholders. The following statement of corporate governance practices sets out the Board's review of the Corporation's governance practices relative to National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices and National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Board of Directors

The Odessa Board is currently comprised of four (4) directors, two (2) of whom are "independent" within the meaning of section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"). Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Corporation's board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the directors' independent judgment. In addition, certain individuals, by definition, are deemed to have a "material relationship" with the Corporation and therefore are deemed not to be independent.

Pierre Colas and Richard Morrison are considered independent of the Corporation. Michel Lassonde is not considered independent as he is the President and CEO of the Corporation, and André Verrier is not considered independent as he is the chief financial officer of the Corporation.

As two (2) of the members of the Board are independent, the Board believes it can function independently of management. The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Corporation's management through frequent discussions with management and regular meetings of the Board.

Directorships

The following director(s) of the Corporation are currently directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction):

Director Name of Other Reporting Issuer
Pierre Colas Brunswick Exploration Inc.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board has an informal program for the orientation and education of new recruits to the Board. The Corporation ensures that all new directors meet with management and incumbent directors and are provided with written materials that provide background as to the Corporation's business and outline the securities law obligations and restrictions on members of the Board and the Corporation. The Board believes that these procedures will prove to be a practical and effective approach in light of the Corporation's particular circumstances, including the size of the Corporation, limited changes to members of the Board and the experience and expertise of the members of the Board.

Ethical Business Conduct

Certain of the Corporation's directors serve as directors or officers of other reporting issuers or have significant shareholdings in other companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in

65


business ventures in which the Corporation may participate, the directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms and such director will not participate in negotiating and concluding terms of any proposed transaction. In addition, any director or officer who may have an interest in a transaction or agreement with the Corporation is required to disclose such interest and abstain from discussions and voting in respect to same if the interest is material or if required to do so by corporate or securities law.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has not appointed a nominating committee and does not have a formal process for identifying new candidates for Board nomination. When required, the Board will identify potential candidates for Board membership and make recommendations for nomination based on an individual's character, integrity, judgment and record of achievement and any other qualifications which would add to the Board's decision making process and enhance the overall management of the Corporation's business.

Compensation

Remuneration of the directors and CEO of the Corporation is determined by the Board. The Board also administers the Odessa Option Plan, including any Odessa Option grants to the directors and officers. At this stage in the Corporation's development, the Corporation has not adopted a formal compensation plan and does not have a compensation committee.

Other Board Committees

As at the date of this Circular, the Board has no standing committees other than the Odessa Audit Committee.

Assessments

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, the communications between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and the Odessa Audit Committee to satisfy itself that the Board, the Odessa Audit Committee and its individual directors are performing effectively.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit Committee's Charter

The Odessa Audit Committee has a written charter, a copy of which is included in Appendix "L", which discloses its responsibilities, powers and operations.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The members of the audit committee are Michel Lassonde, Richard Morrison and Pierre Colas. Messrs. Colas and Morrison are independent, and all members of the audit committee are considered financially literate within the meaning of NI 52-110. The members of the audit committee encourage independent dialogue through routine meetings and adherence to the audit committee charter, which each work to enforce independently and as a group.

6445111.16


Relevant Education and Experience

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is "financially literate" if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation's financial statements.

All current members of the Odessa Audit Committee have received relevant education in financial literacy and have been involved in enterprises which publicly report financial results, each of which requires a working understanding of, and ability to analyze and assess, financial information (including financial statements).

Further, each member has the requisite education and experience that has provided the member with:

(a) an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Corporation to prepare the Corporation's financial statements;

(b) the ability to assess the general application of the above-noted principles in connection with estimates, accruals and reserves;

(c) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation's financial statements, or experience actively supervising individuals engaged in such activities; and

(d) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

The following is a summary of the education and experience of each audit committee member relevant to their responsibilities on the Odessa Audit Committee:

Michel Lassonde

Mr. Lassonde is the current President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Corporation. Prior thereto, from 1991 – 2008, Mr. Lassonde was a judge of the Court of Quebec.

INFORMATION CONCERNING MARGAUX

The following information has been provided by Margaux and is presented on a pre-Transaction basis.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Background Establishment and Objectives

Margaux is an unincorporated open-ended real estate investment trust established on October 29, 2021 pursuant to the Contract of Trust under the laws of the Province of Québec. Margaux is a "mutual fund trust" as defined in the Tax Act, but is not a "mutual fund" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.

The head and registered office of Margaux is located at 180 ch. des Patriotes Sud, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Québec, J3H 5J3.

Intercorporate Relationships

Margaux has one subsidiary, 9451-8305 Québec Inc., the general partner of the trust, which was incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Québec). In addition, Margaux has the following limited partners, each of which was constituted under the Civil Code of Québec: SEC Libre Entreposage Drummond, SEC Libre Entreposage Cowansville, and SEC Alpha Roxton Pond.

9451-8305 Québec Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Margaux. Margaux holds 99% of the voting securities of each of SEC Libre Entreposage Drummond, SEC Libre Entreposage Cowansville, and SEC Alpha Roxton Pond, with the remaining 1% of the voting securities held by 9451-8305 Québec Inc.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARGAUX BUSINESS

Margaux is a self-administered and self-managed real estate trust that acquires, owns and operates self-storage properties. Currently, Margaux owns and operates Property ARP, Property Cowansville and Property SSD through three separate wholly-owned limited partnerships.

Margaux operates in regional markets in the Province of Québec, namely Cowansville, Drummondville and Roxton Pond. There is limited competition for self-storage operators in these markets and generally, as it can be difficult to find land zoned for the purposes of building self-storage facilities. Margaux's employees are all employed on a part-time basis.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Margaux operates within the self-storage industry and offers month-to-month rental of various storage space for personal or business use. The majority of business users are in the construction industry, with tenants including plumbers, electricians, carpenters and roofers. Margaux sites have an on-site manager that is in charge of supervision of tenants moving their items in and out of the storage units and who is available to provide assistance as required.

The self-storage industry has some seasonal fluctuations, with business slowing down somewhat in the colder months of December and January and ramping up in the summer, with the expiry of leases bringing in some additional business and tenants.

71


Margaux complies with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and obtained Phase 1 environmental reports prior to the acquisition of each of the Properties. Tenants are prohibited from storing any substances that could create an environmental issue.

Margaux faces competition in the three local markets in which it operates, but competition is less significant than in the big urban markets. The occupancy rate remains high throughout Margaux's self-storage facilities, and most of the new storage units from the recent expansion at Property ARP have already been rented. Margaux is also expanding Property SSD pursuant to a market survey conducted by a professional firm which revealed that the local market was under served.

Margaux purchased Property SSD in December 2021. Property SSD is comprised of approximately 100,000 square feet of land on which are built 48 self-storage units. Margaux has recently obtained a permit to build two additional buildings, each totalling approximately 7,000 square feet, which will permit Margaux to add an additional 200 self-storage units. Construction on these additional buildings is expected to begin in the coming months.

Margaux purchased Property Cowansville in September 2022. Property Cowansville is comprised of approximately 500,000 square feet of land on which are located two buildings housing 90 self-storage units. Property Cowansville also includes a parking space which can accommodate up to 70 RVs as well as an additional parking lot which is leased to a nearby hospital on a long-term basis.

Margaux purchased Property ARP in March 2023. Property ARP is comprised of approximately 100,000 square feet of land which is divided into two lots and on which there are presently five buildings housing 181 self-storage units.

Margaux intends to continue its growth through further property acquisitions as well as expanding its existing Properties by adding additional self-storage units wherever it is feasible and economical. Margaux intends to act as a consolidator in a market that is highly fragmented and where many operations are run by family businesses.

Margaux's intended acquisition targets will be in the $3-10 million range, as Margaux believes that there is limited competition for self-storage facilities in this segment, as the larger operators are not generally interested in the smaller facilities. Margaux also intends to continue to expand its existing Properties, both through its current and intended construction on Property ARP and Property SSD, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS

Margaux has not completed any significant acquisitions.

Stock Option Plan

Margaux does not currently have a unit option plan. Margaux will adopt the Margaux Option Plan, in a form acceptable to Odessa, prior to the Effective Date which is expected to be substantially similar to the Odessa Option Plan. See the section headed "Description of the Transaction – Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to Obligations of Odessa".

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

There were no agreements or arrangements in place under which compensation was provided during the financial year ended December 31, 2023 or is payable in respect of services provided to Margaux or any of its subsidiaries that were: (a) performed by a director or NEO, or (b) performed by any other party but are services typically provided by a director or a NEO.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

The Margaux Board has not appointed a compensation committee and the responsibilities relating to executive and trustee compensation, including reviewing and recommending trustee compensation, overseeing Margaux's base compensation structure and equity-based compensation program, recommending compensation of Margaux's executive officers and employees, and evaluating the performance of officers generally and in light of annual goals and objectives, is performed by the Margaux Board as a whole. The Margaux Board also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for Margaux's senior management.

Compensation of Trustees

The Margaux Board reviews on an annual basis the adequacy and form of compensation of trustees to ensure that the compensation of the Margaux Board reflects the responsibilities, time commitment and risks involved in being an effective trustee. The Margaux Board currently does not compensate trustees with any cash retainers for being a member of the Margaux Board or a member of a committee of the Margaux

6445111.16


Board (of which there is only currently one committee, being the Margaux Audit Committee. This decision applies to all trustees, including independent trustees who are not officers or employees of Margaux. This decision will be reviewed in the future, and consideration will be made to the practices in this regard of other similar issuers. For greater certainty, trustees of Margaux who are officers or employees of Margaux do not receive fees in their capacities as trustees; however, all trustees are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses and travel expenses related to attendance at trustees' meetings, and all trustees are eligible to participate in the Margaux Option Plan.

Compensation of Executive Officers

Margaux’s executive compensation is intended to be consistent with Margaux’s business plans, strategies and goals while taking into account various factors and criteria, including competitive factors, Margaux’s performance and comparative compensation of executive officers of companies of similar size and stage of development. Margaux’s executive compensation is intended to provide an appropriate overall compensation package that permits the Corporation to attract and retain highly qualified and experienced senior executives and to encourage superior performance by Margaux. Margaux’s compensation policies are intended to motivate individuals to achieve and to award compensation based on corporate and individual results. Compensation for the Named Executive Officers is intended to reflect a fair evaluation of overall performance.

Margaux is aware that compensation practices can have unintended risk consequences. At the present time, the Margaux Board is satisfied that the current executive compensation program does not encourage the executives to expose the business to inappropriate risk.

Base Salaries

The Margaux Board would consider the foregoing compensation philosophy, as well as the financial performance of Margaux as a whole, in any review of base salaries. The salary and fees review for the NEO is based on an assessment of factors such as current market conditions and particular skills, including leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance, and comparative compensation of executive officers of companies of similar size and stage of development.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation - Bonuses

In addition to base salary, Margaux may award executives with short term incentive awards in the form of an annual bonus. Annual bonuses are intended to provide short-term incentives to executives and to reward them for their yearly individual contribution and performance of personal objectives in the context of overall annual corporate performance. Typically, the amount is not pre-established and is at the discretion of the Margaux Board. While there is no target amount for annual bonus, other than as may be set out in an executive's employment agreement, the Margaux Board reviews similar factors as those discussed above in relation to base salary or consulting and management fees. No short-term incentive awards were paid to any executives of Margaux for the financial years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation - Margaux Options

Margaux will, prior to the Effective Date and in a form acceptable to Odessa, adopt the Margaux Option Plan to assist Margaux in attracting, retaining and motivating directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of Margaux and to closely align the personal interests of such service providers with the interests of Margaux and its shareholders. The size of the option awards is intended to be in proportion to the deemed ability of the individual to make an impact on Margaux’s success. Given the stage of

6445111.16


development of Margaux, compensation of the executive officers, including Named Executive Officers, is initially expected to emphasize meaningful stock option awards to attract and retain qualified service providers and to a certain extent, to conserve cash. This policy may be re-evaluated in the future and may instead emphasize increased consulting and management fees or salaries and cash bonuses with a reduced reliance on option awards, depending upon the future development of Margaux and other factors which may be considered relevant by the Margaux Board from time to time.

Pension Plan Benefits

Margaux does not have any pension plans that provide for payments or benefits to the NEOs or trustees at, following, or in connection with retirement, including any defined benefits plan or any defined contribution plan. Margaux does not have a deferred compensation plan with respect to any NEO or trustee.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings material to Margaux or to which Margaux or a subsidiary of Margaux is a party or of which any of their respective property is the subject matter. Additionally, to the knowledge of Margaux, there are no such proceedings contemplated.

NON-ARM'S LENGTH TRANSACTIONS

6445111.16


AUDIT COMMITTEE

Assuming completion of the Transaction, it is proposed that the Resulting Issuer will have an Audit Committee comprising Pierre Colas, Richard Morrison and Michel Lassonde. Pierre Colas and Richard Morrison will be considered "independent" as that term is defined in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), whereas Michel Lassonde will not be considered "independent". The Resulting Issuer will rely on the exemption set forth in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 from the requirement that all members of the Audit Committee be "independent". In accordance with section 6.1.1 of NI 52-110, a majority of the proposed members of the Audit Committee are not executive officers, employees or control persons of the Resulting Issuer or of an affiliate of the Resulting Issuer. All of the Audit Committee members are expected to be "financially literate" as defined in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees. The Resulting Issuer will adopt a Charter of the Audit Committee in substantially the form set out at Appendix "N".

The mandate of the Audit Committee will be to assist the board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to financial accounting, reporting and internal controls for the Resulting Issuer. The Audit Committee will be responsible for: conducting reviews and discussions with management and the external auditors relating to the audit and financial reporting; assessing the integrity of internal controls and financial reporting procedures; ensuring implementation of internal controls and procedures; reviewing the quarterly and annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of the Resulting Issuer; selecting and monitoring the independence, performance and remuneration of the external auditors; oversight of all disclosure relating to financial information; and pre-approving any non-audit services to be provided to the Resulting Issuer by any external auditors and the fees for those services. The Audit Committee will also be responsible for reviewing and following the procedures established in the Resulting Issuer's codes, policies and guidelines as may be established from time to time.

Relevant Education and Experience

All the proposed members of the Audit Committee are able to understand and interpret information related to financial statement analysis. Each of the proposed members of the Audit Committee has a general understanding of the accounting principles used by the Resulting Issuer to prepare its financial statements and will seek clarification from the Resulting Issuer's auditors, where required. Each of the proposed members of the Audit Committee also has direct experience in understanding accounting principles for private and reporting companies.

For additional details regarding the relevant experience of each member of the Resulting Issuer's Audit Committee, see the relevant biographical experiences for each of the Resulting Issuer's directors and officers under the heading "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Proposed Members of Management".

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of Odessa's most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the Board.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the commencement of Odessa's most recently completed financial year, Odessa has not relied on the exemptions in Sections 2.4, 6.1.1(4), 6.1.1(5), or 6.1.1(6) or Part 8 of NI 52-110. Section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-Audit Services) provides an exemption from the requirement that the Audit Committee must pre

6445111.16


approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the financial year in which the non-audit services were provided. Sections 6.1.1(4) (Circumstance Affecting the Business or Operations of the Venture Issuer), 6.1.1(5) (Events Outside Control of Member) and 6.1.1(6) (Death, Incapacity or Resignation) provide exemptions from the requirement that a majority of the members of Odessa's Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of Odessa or of an Affiliate of Odessa. Part 8 (Exemptions) permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority or regulator for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110 in whole or in part.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee of the Resulting Issuer will adopt specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as described in the Audit Committee Charter attached hereto as Appendix "N" under the heading "Approval of Audit and Remitted Non-Audit Services Provided by External Auditors".

External Auditor Service Fees

In the following table, "audit fees" are fees billed by Odessa's external auditor for services provided in auditing Odessa's annual financial statements for the subject year. "Audit-related fees" are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of Odessa's financial statements. "Tax Fees" are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. "All other fees" are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

The aggregate fees billed by Odessa's external auditor in the period from Odessa's incorporation on January 18, 2023 to December 31, 2023, by category, are as follows:

Nature of Services Period ended December 31st 2023
Audit Fees(1) $9,700
Audit-Related Fees(2) nil
Tax Fees(3) nil
All Other Fees(4) nil

Notes:

(1) "Audit Fees" include the aggregate professional fees billed by the external auditors for the audit of the annual financial statements and other annual regulatory audits and filings.
(2) "Audit-Related Fees" include the aggregate fees billed by the external auditors for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Corporation's financial statements and are not disclosed in the "Audit Fees" column.
(3) "Tax Fees" include the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the external auditors for tax compliance, tax advice, tax planning and advisory services, including, namely, the preparation of tax returns.
(4) "All Other Fees" include the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the external auditors other than those listed in the other three columns, including assurance procedures in connection with prospectuses and information circulars.
(5) "All Other Fees" include other non-audit services.

Exemption

The Resulting Issuer will rely on the exemption set forth in section 6.1 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees.

6445111.16


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Trustees

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Resulting Issuer Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the unitholders of the Resulting Issuer and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board of the Resulting Issuer and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Resulting Issuer. Canadian securities regulatory policy as reflected in National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires that venture issuers like the Resulting Issuer must disclose on an annual basis their approach to corporate governance. National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines provides regulatory staff guidance on preferred governance practices, although the guidelines are not prescriptive, other than for audit committees.

NI 58-101, when taken together with Section 1.4 of NI 52-110, provides that a member is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the issuer, a "material relationship" being one which could, in the view of the issuer's board of trustees, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.

The following table sets forth the determination of the independence of the anticipated independence of the proposed trustees of the Resulting Issuer.

Name Independence Status Basis for Determination of Non-Independence
Michel Lassonde Not independent Mr. Lassonde is anticipated to have a material relationship with the Resulting Issuer due to him being paid a management fee by the Resulting Issuer.
André Verrier Not independent Mr. Verrier is anticipated to have a material relationship with the Resulting Issuer due to him being a senior officer of the Resulting Issuer.
Pierre Colas Independent -
Luc Poirier Not independent Mr. Poirier is anticipated to have a material relationship with the Resulting Issuer due to him being a senior officer of the Resulting Issuer.
Richard Morrison Independent -

As not all the members of the Resulting Issuer Board will be independent within the meaning of NI 58-101, it is anticipated that the independent trustees will hold regularly scheduled meetings at which the non-independent trustees and management of the Resulting Issuer will not be present.

The Resulting Issuer Board plans to adopt a written mandate reflecting its role to (i) assume responsibility for the overall strategy and oversight of management of the Resulting Issuer, (ii) identify the principal risks and opportunities of the Resulting Issuer's business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks, (iii) manage the cash reserve, and (iv) ensure the integrity of the Resulting Issuer's internal financial controls and management information systems.

Orientation and Continuing Education

6445111.16


The Resulting Issuer will not have a formal orientation and education program for new members of the Resulting Issuer Board, the Resulting Issuer plans to provide such orientation and education on an ad hoc and informal basis. The proposed trustees believe that these procedures will be a practical and effective approach in light of the Resulting Issuer's particular circumstances, including the size of the Resulting Issuer and the number, experience and expertise of its proposed trustees.

Ethical Business Conduct

As a responsible business and corporate citizen, the Resulting Issuer is committed to conducting its affairs with integrity, honesty, fairness and professionalism. In order to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct, the board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer will implement a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which all employees, officers and trustees will be expected to meet in the performance of their responsibilities.

The Resulting Issuer's reputation for honesty and integrity amongst its unitholders and other stakeholders is key to the success of its business. No employee or trustee will be permitted to achieve results through violation of laws or regulations, or through unscrupulous dealings.

Any trustee with a conflict of interest or who is capable of being perceived as being in conflict of interest with respect to the Resulting Issuer will be obligated to abstain from discussion and voting by the Board or any committee of the Board on any motion to recommend or approve the relevant agreement or transaction. The Board must comply with conflict of interest provisions of the ABCA.

Nomination of Trustees

Responsibility for identifying new candidates to join the Resulting Issuer Board will belong to the board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer as a whole. The board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer will encourage all trustees to participate in the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates. It is expected that the board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer will have the responsibility of making recommendations to the board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer with respect to the new nominees and for assessing trustees on an on-going basis. While there are no specific criteria for Resulting Issuer Board membership, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer will seek to attract and retain trustees with business knowledge, including in areas of specialized knowledge (such as finance), which will assist in guiding the officers of the Resulting Issuer.

Compensation

Responsibility for determining compensation for the trustees of the Resulting Issuer as well as the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other officers of the Resulting Issuer will belong to the Resulting Issuer Board as a whole. The Resulting Issuer Board's responsibilities in this regard will include: reviewing and approving the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other officers of the Resulting Issuer appointed by the board of trustees of the Resulting Issuer; reviewing and approving the compensation policies, plans and programs for the Resulting Issuer's executive officers and other senior management, as well as its overall compensation plans and structure; reviewing and discussing with management and determining the disclosure to be included under the caption "Executive Compensation" for use in any annual reports, prospectuses, proxy circulars or information circulars; determining the compensation for trustees; and administering the compensation plan and share compensation arrangements.

The Resulting Issuer Board will seek to ensure an objective process for determining compensation through compliance with the Resulting Issuer Board's conflicts of interest guidelines. The Resulting Issuer Board will review the various compensation elements both individually and in total to seek alignment with the Resulting Issuer's compensation program objectives. The Resulting Issuer Board will determine all

6445111.16


executive pay, short-term incentives and long-term incentive options. For more information on the anticipated Resulting Issuer compensation practices please see "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Executive Compensation"

Assessment

The Resulting Issuer Board Issuer will not use formal assessments given the stage of the Resulting Issuer's business and operations. However, the proposed trustees believe that nomination to the Resulting Issuer Board is not open ended and that directorships should be reviewed carefully for alignment with the strategic needs of the Resulting Issuer. To this extent, the proposed trustees will constantly review (i) individual trustee performance and the performance of the board of trustees as a whole, including processes and effectiveness; and (ii) the performance of the Chair, if any, of the Resulting Issuer Board. A more formal assessment process will be instituted if and when the Resulting Issuer Board considers it to be advisable.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following section sets out the anticipated compensation for Michel Lassonde, the proposed Chief Executive Officer of the Resulting Issuer, and André Verrier, the proposed Chief Financial Officer of the Resulting Issuer, for the 12-month period after giving effect to the Transaction. The following disclosure is presented in accordance with Form 51-102F6 - Statement of Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Governance

The trustees of the Resulting Issuer will administer the Resulting Issuer's executive compensation program. The Resulting Issuer Board will ensure that total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers is fair, reasonable and consistent with the Resulting Issuer's compensation philosophy.

Philosophy and Objectives

The proposed Resulting Issuer Board believes that the Resulting Issuer should provide a compensation package that is competitive and motivating, that will attract, hold and inspire qualified executives, that will encourage performance by executives to enhance the growth and development of the Resulting Issuer and that will balance the interests of the executives and the unitholders of the Resulting Issuer. Achievement of these objectives is expected to contribute to an increase in unitholder value.

Elements of Executive Compensation

It is expected that the Resulting Issuer will provide its executive officers with both fixed compensation, comprised of base salary, and performance-based variable incentive compensation, comprised of an annual cash bonus and long-term incentives in the form of awards under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan.

Base salary will be designed to provide income certainty and to attract and retain executives, and therefore will be based on the assessment of a number of factors such as current competitive market conditions, compensation levels within the peer group and factors particular to the executive, including individual performance, the scope of the executive's role with the Resulting Issuer and retention considerations. In addition to base salary, the Resulting Issuer may award executives with short term incentive awards in the form of annual cash bonuses. Annual cash bonuses are intended to provide short-term incentives to executives and to reward them for their yearly individual contribution and performance of personal objectives in the context of overall annual corporate performance. The amount will not be pre-established

6445111.16


and will be at the discretion of the Resulting Issuer Board. While there will be no target amount for annual cash bonuses, the Resulting Issuer Board will review similar factors as those discussed above in relation to base salary. Long-term incentive compensation will be provided through the granting of options under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. Equity incentive awards will be designed to motivate executives to achieve long-term sustainable business results, align their interest with those of shareholders and to attract and retain executives. Awards will be based on a variety of factors, such as the need to attract or retain key individuals, competitive market conditions and internal equity. Previous grants will be taken into account when considering new grants.

Risks

The proposed Resulting Issuer Board recognizes that certain elements of compensation could promote unintended inappropriate or excessive risk-taking behaviours; however, the Resulting Issuer will seek to ensure that executive compensation packages appropriately balance short-term incentives, in the form of base salaries, and long-term incentives, in the form of option-based awards. As a result of the factors discussed above, the proposed Resulting Issuer Board does not believe that its compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer.

Named Executive Officers and trustees of the Resulting Issuer will not be permitted to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or trustee.

Summary Compensation Table – Proposed Compensation

Upon the Effective Date, the Resulting Issuer will have two executive officers. The following table sets forth the proposed compensation for the Resulting Issuer's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary for the 12-month period after giving effect to the Transaction:

Name and principal position Year Salary ($) Share-based awards ($) Option-based awards ($) Non-equity incentive plan compensation ($) Pension value ($) All other compensation ($) Total compensation ($)
Annual incentive plans Long-term incentive plans
Michel Lassonde(1)
Chief Executive Officer 2024 nil nil nil nil nil $18 000(1) $18 000
André Verrier
Chief Financial Officer 2024 nil nil $8,500 nil nil nil nil nil

6445111.16

Incentive Plan Awards

Share-based Awards

During the 12 month period after giving effect to the Transaction, it is not expected that the Resulting Issuer will grant any share-based awards, being awards granted under an equity incentive plan of equity-based instruments that do not have option-like features, including, for greater certainty, common shares, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred share units, phantom shares, phantom share units, common share equivalent units, and stock.

Option-based Awards

The Resulting Issuer intends to grant option-based awards, being awards granted under an equity incentive plan of options, including, for greater certainty, share options, share appreciation rights, and similar instruments that have option-like features, by granting options to its trustees, officers and employees, however, the timing, amounts, exercise price and recipients of such issuances have not yet been determined. Such options are expected to be granted under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. Please see the discussion under the heading "Information Concerning Margaux – Stock Option Plan".

Pension Disclosure

The Resulting Issuer will not provide a pension to its directors or Named Executive Officers.

Termination and change of control benefits

The Named Executive Officers, Michel Lassonde and André Verrier, will not be entering into new agreements with the Resulting Issuer. For a description of the termination and change of control benefits contained in the existing agreements, refer to the discussion under the headings in the section entitled "Information Concerning Margaux – Executive Compensation – Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements".

TRUSTEE COMPENSATION

Other than to Michel Lassonde as set out above under the heading "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table – Proposed Compensation", it is not expected that any trustee of the Resulting Issuer will receive any compensation in the 12 month period after giving effect to the Transaction for services rendered to the Resulting Issuer and its subsidiaries, other than options granted from time to time.

It is expected that the Resulting Issuer will grant options to the trustees of the Resulting Issuer from time to time under the Resulting Issuer Option Plan. The Resulting Issuer may pay trustees' fees to the trustees of the Resulting Issuer in the future.

INDEBTEDNESS OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

No trustee or officer of Odessa or Margaux, no proposed trustee or officer of the Resulting Issuer, no individual who at any time during the most recently completed financial year of Odessa or Margaux was a trustee or officer of Odessa or Margaux, nor any Associate of such individuals is indebted to Odessa or Margaux, or is indebted to another entity where such indebtedness is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by Odessa or Margaux.

INVESTOR RELATIONS ARRANGEMENTS

The Value Escrow Agreement provides that $10\%$ of the escrowed securities will be released from escrow upon issuance of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, an additional $15\%$ will be released on the date that is 6 months following the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, an additional $15\%$ will be released on the date that is 12 months following the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, an additional $15\%$ will be released on the date that is 18 months following the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, an additional $15\%$ will be released on the date that is 24 months following the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, an additional $15\%$ will be released on the date that is 30 months following the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin and an additional $15\%$ will be released on the date that is 36 months following the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. Transfers of escrowed securities where escrowed Resulting Issuer Units are to be

6445111.16


held by a person that is not an individual, such person will be required to agree not engage in any transaction that would result in the change of control of such person while its securities of the Resulting Issuer are held in escrow. Any such person will be required to further undertake to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize any issuance of securities or transfer of securities which could reasonably result in a change of control of the person. All holders of escrowed securities must obtain Exchange consent to transfer securities held in escrow, other than in specified circumstances set out in the applicable escrow agreement.

CPC Escrow Agreement

In accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4, upon completion of the listing of Odessa on the Exchange, the Odessa Shares and Odessa Options set out in the section entitled "CPC Escrow Agreement" in the above table in the column "Prior to Giving Effect to the Transaction" (the "CPC Escrowed Shares" and the "CPC Escrowed Options", as applicable) were escrowed under the CPC Escrow Agreement. The CPC Escrowed Shares are subject to an eighteen (18) month escrow period and are scheduled to be released from escrow as follows:

Percentage of Escrowed Shares Released from Escrow Release Date
25% Date of Final QT Exchange Bulletin
25% 6 months from Final QT Exchange Bulletin
25% 12 months from Final QT Exchange Bulletin
25% 18 months from Final QT Exchange Bulletin

The CPC Escrowed Options will be released from escrow on the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin.

The CPC Escrowed Shares and the CPC Escrowed Options (and any Odessa Shares issued pursuant to the exercise thereof) held pursuant to the CPC Escrow Agreement (the "CPC Escrowed Securities") may not be sold, assigned, transferred, redeemed, surrendered or otherwise dealt with in any manner except as provided by the CPC Escrow Agreement. The CPC Escrowed Securities may be transferred within escrow to an individual who is a director or senior officer of Odessa or a material operating subsidiary of Odessa, provided that certain requirements of the Exchange are met, including that the new proposed transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the CPC Escrow Agreement. In the event of the bankruptcy of a holder of CPC Escrowed Securities, the CPC Escrowed Securities held by such holder may be transferred within escrow to the trustee in bankruptcy or other person legally entitled to such CPC Escrowed Securities provided that certain prescribed Exchange requirements are met. The CPC Escrowed Securities may be transferred within escrow to a Person or Company that, before the transfer, holds greater than 20% of the voting rights attached to Odessa Shares or after the transfer will hold more than 10% of the voting rights attached to Odessa Shares and has the right to elect or appoint one or more directors or senior officers of Odessa or its material operating subsidiaries. CPC Escrowed Securities may also be transferred within escrow by a holder of CPC Escrowed Securities to a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP") or a registered retirement income fund ("RRIF"), provided that the Exchange receives proper notice of the same, the holder of such CPC Escrowed Securities is the sole beneficiary of the RRSP or RRIF and the trustee of the RRSP or RRIF agrees to be bound by the terms of the CPC Escrow Agreement. In the event of the death of a holder of CPC Escrowed Securities, the CPC Escrowed Securities of such deceased holder will be released to his legal representatives.

6445111.16


CPC Escrowed Securities that were purchased or granted, as applicable, prior to the CPC initial public offering at a discount to the initial public offering price by Related Parties (as defined in the Manual) of Odessa may be cancelled by Odessa and the escrow agent pursuant to the CPC Escrow Agreement. In addition, any CPC Escrowed Securities that have not been released pursuant to the CPC Escrow Agreement on the 10th anniversary of the date of delisting from the Exchange must immediately be cancelled.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Resulting Issuer Units should be considered highly speculative, not only due to the nature of Margaux's business and operations, but also because of the uncertainty related to completion of the Transaction. In addition to the other information in this Circular, an investor should carefully consider each of, and the cumulative effect of, the following factors, which assume the completion of the Transaction. Except as noted, these risk factors have been drafted in a manner so as to assume the completion of the Transaction.

The Transaction May Not Be Completed

The Transaction is subject to final acceptance by the Exchange as evidenced by the Final QT Exchange Bulletin and the approval of the Margaux Unitholders. There can be no assurance that all of the necessary

6445111.16


approvals will be obtained. If the Transaction is not completed for any reason, Odessa will continue to search for and evaluate other investment opportunities; however, it will have incurred significant costs associated with the failed implementation of the Transaction.

General Business Risks

The Resulting Issuer is subject to general risks associated with business and those inherent to the real estate industry. The underlying value of Property SSD, Property Cowansville and Property ARP, as well as future investments, and the Resulting Issuer's income and ability to generate stable returns from its operations will depend on the ability of the Resulting Issuer to maintain revenues and generate income in excess of operating expenses. Income derived from Property SSD, Property Cowansville and Property ARP, as well as future investments, may be adversely affected by changes in local or national economic conditions, changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of any mortgage or other financing, the ongoing need for capital improvements, changes in real estate assessed values and taxes payable on such values and other operating expenses, changes in laws, regulations rules and fiscal policy, zoning laws, environmental legislation and compliance with such regulations and acts of God, including natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses). Any of the foregoing events could adversely the value of the Properties of the Resulting Issuer and the ability of the Resulting Issuer to generate positive cash flows and make distributions.

Real Property Ownership

All real property investments are subject to elements of risk. Such investments are affected by general economic conditions (such as the availability, terms and cost of mortgage financings and other types of financings), local real estate markets and conditions (such as oversupply of available rental units or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area), the attractiveness of the properties to customers, supply and demand for space, competition from other available space and various other factors. The performance of the economy in areas in which properties are located affects occupancy, market rental rates, property sale prices and expenses. These factors consequently can have an impact on revenues generated from properties and their underlying values. The value of real property and any improvements thereto may also depend on the credit and financial stability of the tenants. The Resulting Issuer's financial performance would be adversely affected if tenants at the Resulting Issuer's Properties were to become unable to meet their obligations under their leases. In the event of default by a tenant, delays or limitations in enforcing rights as lessor may be experienced and costs incurred in protecting the Resulting Issuer's investment may be incurred. Upon the expiry of any lease, there can be no assurance that the lease will be renewed or the tenant replaced. The terms of any subsequent lease may be less favourable to the Resulting Issuer than the existing lease. Other factors may further adversely affect revenues from, and the value of, the Resulting Issuer's Properties. These factors include local conditions in the areas which Properties may be located, the attractiveness of the Properties to tenants or future purchasers, competition from neighbouring or other properties and the Resulting Issuer's ability to provide adequate facilities, maintenance, services, and amenities. Operating costs including real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs and mortgage payments, if any, do not, in general, decline when circumstances cause a reduction in income from a property. The Resulting Issuer could sustain a loss as a result of foreclosure on a property, if a Property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and the Resulting Issuer is unable to meet its payment obligations. In addition, applicable laws, including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing also affect revenues from properties and real estate values.

Capital Expenditures and Other Fixed Costs

Certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage and leasehold payments, insurance costs and related charges, must be made throughout the period of ownership of real

6445111.16


property, regardless of whether the property is producing sufficient income to pay such expenses. In order to retain desirable rentable space and to generate adequate revenue over the long term, the Resulting Issuer is expected to maintain or, in some cases, improve the condition of its Properties to meet market demand. Maintaining a self-storage facility in accordance with market standards can entail significant costs, which the Resulting Issuer may not be able to generate from its tenants or customers. Numerous factors, including the age of the relevant building structure, the material and substances used at the time of construction or currently unknown building code violations, could result in substantial unbudgeted costs for refurbishment or modernization.

If the actual costs of maintaining or upgrading the Properties exceed the reasonable estimates of the Resulting Issuer, or if construction defects are discovered during the course of maintenance or upgrading which are not covered by insurance or other contractual warranties or if the Resulting Issuer is not permitted to raise the rents due to other legal constraints, the Resulting Issuer may incur additional and unexpected costs. If competing properties of a similar type are built or refurbished in the area where the Resulting Issuer's properties are located, the net operating income derived from, and the value of, the Resulting Issuer's properties could be reduced.

Any failure of the Resulting Issuer to undertake appropriate maintenance and refurbishment work in response to the factors described above could adversely affect the income the Resulting Issuer earns from its properties. For example, such a failure could entitle tenants to withhold or reduce rental payments or even to terminate existing contractual arrangements. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The Resulting Issuer relies on the expertise, skill, judgment, integrity and good faith of the Manager and the Trustees and management of the Resulting Issuer. In particular, Resulting Issuer Unitholders rely on the discretion and ability of the Manager and management of the Resulting Issuer in determining the composition of the Resulting Issuer's portfolio, the real estate markets in which the Resulting Issuer acquires properties and in negotiating purchase price and other material terms of agreements to which the Resulting Issuer is or becomes a party. The ability of the Manager and management of the Resulting Issuer to successfully implement investment strategies of the Resulting Issuer will depend in large part on the continued services of its key management personnel. If the services of key management personnel were lost, the Resulting Issuer may be adversely affected in a material manner.

Changes in Government Regulation

The Resulting Issuer is subject to the laws and regulations governing the ownership and leasing of real property, employment standards, environmental and energy efficiency matters, taxes and other matters. It is possible that future changes in applicable Canadian federal, provincial, municipal or common laws or regulations or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in the legal requirements affecting the Resulting Issuer (including with retroactive effect). Any changes in the laws to which the Resulting Issuer will be subject in the jurisdictions in which it operates could materially affect the rights and title to the Properties of the Resulting Issuer. It is not possible to predict whether there will be any further changes in the regulatory regime(s) to which the Resulting Issuer is subject or the effect of any such change on the Resulting Issuer's investments.

Liquidity

Real estate investments tend to be relatively illiquid, with the degree of liquidity generally fluctuating in relation to demand for and the perceived desirability of such investments. Such illiquidity may tend to limit

6445111.16


the Resulting Issuer’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions.

Uninsured Losses

The Resulting Issuer will carry comprehensive general liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with policy specifications, limits and deductibles that are customarily obtained for properties of a similar size and function to the Properties of the Resulting Issuer. There are, however, certain types of risks, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as wars or environmental contamination, which are uninsurable or not insurable on an economically viable basis. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Resulting Issuer could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, its investments and Properties, while still being obligated to repay the indebtedness in respect thereof.

Competition

The Resulting Issuer will compete with various owners, operators and developers in the Canadian real estate industry, including other properties located within proximity to the Properties of the Resulting Issuer. Some of these parties own, and may acquire in the future, properties that compete directly with the Properties of the Resulting Issuer, and some of these parties may have greater capital resources than the Resulting Issuer. If the competitors of the Resulting Issuer build new properties or re-develop older properties that compete with the Resulting Issuer’s Properties, the Resulting Issuer may lose tenants or potential tenants and it may be pressured to discount its rental rates below those it would otherwise charge in order to retain tenants. As a result of the foregoing, the Resulting Issuer’s rental revenues could decrease, which could impair the Resulting Issuer’s ability to satisfy any debt service obligations and to generate stable positive cash flows from its operations. In addition, increased competition for tenants may require the Resulting Issuer to make capital improvements to facilities it would not have otherwise made. Any unbudgeted 62 capital improvements which the Resulting Issuer undertakes may reduce cash flow generated by the Resulting Issuer’s operations.

Acquisition and Integration of Additional Properties

The Resulting Issuer intends to acquire additional self-storage properties in the future and its future growth will depend on its ability to successfully acquire new properties on favourable terms. Future acquisition opportunities may not be available to the Resulting Issuer on terms that meet the investment criteria or it may be unsuccessful in capitalizing on such opportunities. The Resulting Issuer’s ability to capitalize on acquisition opportunities will also depend on the availability of external capital resources which may not

6445111.16
109


be available to the Resulting Issuer on favourable terms or at all. The Resulting Issuer’s ability to acquire properties on favourable terms and successfully operate such properties involves the following risks:

(a) competition from other real estate investors in acquiring desired properties that may significantly increase the purchase price and decrease the expected yields for those properties;

(b) the Resulting Issuer may be unable to finance an acquisition on favourable terms or at all;

(c) the Resulting Issuer may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into its existing operations;

(d) requiring the Resulting Issuer to use a substantial portion of its cash flows from operations to pay principal and interest which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;

(e) market conditions may result in higher than expected costs and vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and

(f) the Resulting Issuer may acquire properties subject to liabilities without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, to the sellers of such properties, or with liabilities that are unknown to it, such as liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of its Properties and claims for indemnification by members, trustees, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of its properties.

Newly developed and recently acquired properties may not perform as expected and may have characteristics or deficiencies unknown at the time of development or acquisition. The Resulting Issuer cannot guarantee that it will be able to successfully integrate acquired properties without operating disruptions or unanticipated costs. As the Resulting Issuer acquires additional properties, the Resulting Issuer will be subject to risks associated with integrating and managing new properties, including tenant lease-up and retention and mortgage default. In addition, acquisitions may cause disruptions on the Resulting Issuer’s operations and divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations. Furthermore, the Resulting Issuer’s profitability may suffer because of acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets. The Resulting Issuer’s failure to successfully integrate any future properties could have an adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer’s operating costs and its ability to generate stable positive cash flow from its operations.

Potential Undisclosed Liabilities Associated with Acquisitions

The Resulting Issuer expects to acquire properties that may be subject to existing liabilities, some of which may be unknown at the time of the acquisition or which the Resulting Issuer may fail to uncover in its due diligence to be accounted for through contractual indemnification. Unknown liabilities may include liabilities for claims by tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the vendor or predecessor entities (including claims that have not been asserted or threatened as of the acquisition date), tax liabilities, accrued and unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and cleanup and remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions. While, in some instances, the Resulting Issuer may have the right to seek reimbursement against an insurer or another third party for certain of these liabilities, the Resulting Issuer may not have recourse to the vendor of the property for any of these liabilities.

Litigation

The Resulting Issuer may become subject to disputes with tenants or other commercial parties with whom it maintains relationships or other parties with whom it does business. Any such dispute could result in

6445111.16
110


litigation between the Resulting Issuer and such other parties. Whether or not any dispute actually proceeds to litigation, the Resulting Issuer may be required to devote significant resources, including management time and attention, to the successful resolution of such disputes (including through litigation, settlement or otherwise), which would detract from management’s ability to focus on the Resulting Issuer’s business. Any such resolution could involve the payment of damages or expenses by the Resulting Issuer, which may be significant. In addition, any such resolution could involve the Resulting Issuer’s agreement to settlement terms that restrict the operation of its business.

Environmental Matters

As an owner of real estate, the Resulting Issuer is subject to various federal, provincial and municipal laws relating to environmental matters. Such laws provide that the Resulting Issuer could be liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances and repair of certain hazardous locations. The failure to remove or remediate such substances or locations, if any, could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer’s ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral and could potentially result in claims against the Resulting Issuer. Management is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws with respect to the its current properties. However, the Resulting Issuer cannot guarantee that any material environmental conditions do not or will not otherwise exist with respect to the Properties or any other real property it may own in the future or developments that it may finance.

Private Placement May Not Be Completed

The Private Placement may not be completed on terms agreed upon by the parties or at all. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms favourable to Margaux, or at all.

Access to Capital and Financing Risk

The real estate industry is highly capital intensive. The Resulting Issuer requires access to capital to fund its growth strategy and significant capital expenditures from time to time. There can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will have access to sufficient capital or access to capital on terms favourable to the Resulting Issuer for future property acquisitions, financing or refinancing of Properties, funding operating expenses or other purposes. Global financial markets have experienced a sharp increase in volatility during recent years. Underlying market conditions may continue or become worse, and unexpected volatility and illiquidity in financial markets may inhibit the Resulting Issuer’s access to long-term financing in the Canadian capital markets. As a result it is possible that financing required by the Resulting Issuer to grow and expand its operations may not be available to the Resulting Issuer on favourable terms or at all.

Interest Rate Risk

The Resulting Issuer intends to finance future investments and property acquisitions in part with debt borrowings, which could bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest expense on any variable rate indebtedness of the Resulting Issuer will increase if and when short-term interest rates increase. A significant increase in interest expense could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer’s results of operations.

Limited Operating History

The Resulting Issuer has a very limited history of operations. As such, the Resulting Issuer is subject to many risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be successful in achieving a return on unitholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its expected early stage of operations. The limited operating history

6445111.16


may also make it difficult for investors to evaluate the Resulting Issuer's prospects for success. There is no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be successful and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

Because the Resulting Issuer has a limited operating history in an emerging area of business, its operating prospects should be considered and evaluated in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. These risks may include, but are not limited to: (a) risks that it may not have sufficient capital to achieve its growth strategy; (b) risks that it may not develop its service offerings in a manner that enables it to be profitable and meet its customers' requirements; (c) risks that its growth strategy may not be successful; and (d) risks that fluctuations in its operating results will be significant relative to its revenues.

The Resulting Issuer's future growth will depend substantially on its ability to address these and the other risks described in this Risk Factors section. If it does not successfully address these risks, its business may be significantly harmed.

Attracting and Retaining Talented Personnel

The Resulting Issuer's success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of management and other personnel in conducting the business of the Resulting Issuer. The Resulting Issuer will initially have a small management team and the loss of any of these individuals or the inability to attract suitably qualified staff could materially adversely impact the business. The Resulting Issuer's ability to manage its operating and financing activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. The Resulting Issuer may also experience difficulties in certain jurisdictions in efforts to obtain suitably qualified staff and retaining staff who are willing to work in that jurisdiction. The Resulting Issuer's success will depend on the ability of management and employees to interpret market data successfully and to interpret and respond to economic, market and other business conditions in order to locate and adopt appropriate investment opportunities, monitor such investments and ultimately, if required, successfully divest such investments. Further, key personnel may not continue their association or employment with the Resulting Issuer, which may not be able to find replacement personnel with comparable skills. The Resulting Issuer has sought to and will continue to ensure that management and any key employees are appropriately compensated; however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If the Resulting Issuer is unable to attract and retain key personnel, business may be adversely affected. The Resulting Issuer faces intense competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be able to attract and retain such personnel.

Possible Conflicts of Interest of Directors and Officers of the Resulting Issuer

Certain of the directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer may also serve as directors and/or officers of other Companies involved in the self-storage and/or real estate industry, and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. The Resulting Issuer expects that any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving the Resulting Issuer will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Resulting Issuer and its shareholders, but there can be no assurance in this regard.

Dilution Risk

The number of Resulting Issuer Units the Resulting Issuer is authorized to issue is unlimited. The Resulting Issuer may, in its sole discretion, issue additional Resulting Issuer Units from time to time, and the ownership interests of Resulting Issuer Unitholders may be diluted as a result.

6445111.16


Potential Volatility of Trust Unit Prices

It is not possible to predict the price at which Resulting Issuer Units will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Resulting Issuer Units will develop or be sustained. The market price of the Resulting Issuer Units may be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Resulting Issuer's results of operations; changes in estimates of the Resulting Issuer's future results of operations by management or securities analysts; introduction of new products or services by the Resulting Issuer or its competitors; and general industry changes.

In addition, the financial markets have in the past experienced significant price and value fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many real estate issuers and that have, in some cases, been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market fluctuations as well as economic conditions generally and in the real estate industry may adversely affect the market price of the Resulting Issuer Units.

No Guaranteed Return

There is no guarantee that an investment in the Resulting Issuer Units will earn any positive return in the short or long term. Moreover, the interest rates being charged for debt financing, and other similar financing transactions in which the Resulting Issuer will be engaged reflect the general level of interest rates, and as interest rates fluctuate, the Resulting Issuer's aggregate yield on investments will also be expected to change.

SIFT Rules

If the Resulting Issuer were a "SIFT trust" (as defined in subsection 122.1(1) of the Tax Act) (a "SIFT Trust"), certain rules would apply that would effectively tax certain income of the Trust that is distributed to its investors on the same basis as would have applied had the income been earned through a taxable Canadian corporation and distributed by way of dividend to its shareholders (the "SIFT Rules").

The Resulting Issuer will not be considered to be a SIFT Trust in respect of a particular taxation year and, accordingly, will not be subject to the SIFT Rules in that year, if it qualifies as a "real estate investment trust", as defined in the Tax Act, throughout the year (the "REIT Exception"). The REIT Exception is comprised of a number of technical tests and the determination as to whether the Resulting Issuer qualifies for the REIT Exception in any particular taxation year can only be made with certainty at the end of that taxation year.

Management of the Resulting Issuer believes that the Resulting Issuer currently meets the requirements of the REIT Exception, and intends for the Resulting Issuer to qualify for the REIT Exception at all future times. However, there can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will meet the requirements of the REIT Exception at any such time or in any such year or that it will be able to qualify for the REIT Exception at any time or in future years such that the Resulting Issuer and Unitholders will not be subject to the tax imposed by the SIFT Rules. If the Resulting Issuer is subject to the SIFT Rules, the SIFT Rules may, depending on the nature of distributions from the Resulting Issuer, including what portion of its distributions are income and what portion are returns of capital, have a material adverse effect on the after-tax returns of the Resulting Issuer. Also, in the event that the SIFT Rules apply to the Resulting Issuer, they may adversely affect the marketability of the Trust Units, the amount of cash available for distributions and, among other things, there can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be able to maintain the portion of distributions that is treated as a non-taxable return of capital.

6445111.16


6445111.16

Other Tax Related Risk Factors

There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws (or the judicial interpretation thereof or the administrative and/or assessing practices of the CRA) respecting the treatment of mutual fund trusts will not be changed in a manner which will adversely affect the Resulting Issuer or the Resulting Issuer Unitholders. If the Resulting Issuer ceases to qualify as a mutual fund trust under the Tax Act, the income tax consideration Unitholders would be materially and adversely different in certain respects, including that Resulting Issuer Units may cease to be qualified investments for deferred income plans. The Tax Act imposes penalties on the controlling individual of a deferred income plan for the acquisition or holding of non-qualified investments and the plan will be subject to income tax on any income earned on such investments.

General Economic Risks

The Resulting Issuer's operations could be affected by the economic context should interest rates, inflation or the unemployment level reach levels that influence consumer trends and spending and, consequently, impact the Resulting Issuer's sales and profitability.

Any investors should further consider, among other factors, the Resulting Issuer's prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like the Resulting Issuer, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses and problems or technical difficulties may occur, which may result in material delays in the operation of the Resulting Issuer's business. The Resulting Issuer may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement its operating strategies to mitigate the impact of such risks and uncertainties. In the event that the Resulting Issuer fails to do so, such failure could materially harm the Resulting Issuer's business and could result in a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer.

Third Party Relationships

From time to time, the Resulting Issuer may enter into further strategic alliances with third parties that the Resulting Issuer believes will complement or augment its business or will have a beneficial impact on the Resulting Issuer. Strategic alliances with third parties could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance the business of the Resulting Issuer, and may involve risks that could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer, including the risk that significant amounts of management's time may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. Future strategic alliances could result in the Resulting Issuer incurring additional debt, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that the Resulting Issuer's existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to the Resulting Issuer's business or that the Resulting Issuer will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, or at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer.

Volatile Global Financial and Economic Condition

Current global financial and economic conditions remain extremely volatile and unpredictable, which may impact the Resulting Issuer's ability to obtain financing in the future on favourable terms or obtain any financing at all. Additionally, negative global economic conditions may cause a long-term decrease in asset values. If such global volatility and market turmoil recur or continue, the Resulting Issuer's operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Limited Market for Securities

114


There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Resulting Issuer Units will develop or be maintained, and an investor may find it difficult to resell any securities of the Resulting Issuer.

Disruption of Business

Conditions or events including, but not limited to, those listed below could disrupt the Resulting Issuer's operations and/or increase operating expenses, resulting in delayed performance of contractual obligations or require additional expenditures to be incurred: (i) extraordinary weather conditions or natural disasters including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, extreme heat, and earthquakes; (ii) a local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease, including COVID-19, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, H1N1 influenza virus, avian flu, or any other similar illness could result in a general or acute decline in economic activity (see also, "Public Health Crises" below); (iii) political instability, social or labour unrest, war or terrorism; or (iv) interruptions in the availability of basic commercial and social services and infrastructure including power and water shortages, and shipping and freight forwarding services including via air, sea, rail and road.

Public Health Crises

The Resulting Issuer's business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises beyond its control, including the outbreak of COVID-19. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. Many governments likewise declared that the COVID-19 outbreak in their jurisdictions constituted an emergency. Reactions to the spread of COVID-19 led to, among other things, significant restrictions on travel, business closures, quarantines and a general reduction in consumer activity. While the restrictions related to COVID-19 have been substantially reversed, there can be no guarantee that restrictions will not be re-instated in the future.

Such public health crises can result in volatility and disruptions in the supply and demand for various products and services, global supply chains and financial markets, as well as declining trade and market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk and inflation. The risks to the Resulting Issuer of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak. It is possible that COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Operating Risk and insurance Coverage

The Resulting Issuer has insurance to protect its assets, operations and employees. While the Resulting Issuer believes its insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which it is exposed and is adequate and customary in its current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Resulting Issuer is exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Resulting Issuer's liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Resulting Issuer were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Resulting Issuer were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Applicable Privacy Laws

6445111.16


The Resulting Issuer will collect and store personal information about its customers and will be responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction, or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Theft of data for competitive purposes, particularly client lists and preferences, is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated via employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Any such theft or privacy breach could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of DS Lawyers Canada LLP, counsel to the Corporation, the following summary fairly presents, as of the date hereof, the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable under the Tax Act to the transactions to be effected pursuant to the Arrangement and the acquisition, holding and disposition of Resulting Issuer Units by a Resulting Issuer Unitholder who acquires Resulting Issuer Units pursuant to the transactions to be effected pursuant to the Arrangement except as provided below. This summary is applicable only to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, is resident in Canada, deals at arm's length with and is not affiliated with Margaux, the Corporation or any person that such Resulting Issuer Unitholder subsequently sells or otherwise transfers Resulting Issuer Units to and holds Resulting Issuer Units as "capital property" (as defined in the Tax Act). Generally, Resulting Issuer Units will be considered to be capital property to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder provided that the Resulting Issuer Unitholder does not hold the Resulting Issuer Units in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Certain Resulting Issuer Unitholders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Resulting Issuer Units as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to make the irrevocable election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have their Resulting Issuer Units and every other "Canadian security" (as defined in the Tax Act) owned in the taxation year of the election and each subsequent taxation year, deemed to be capital property. Such Resulting Issuer Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding whether such election is available and advisable in their particular circumstances.

This summary is not applicable to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder: (i) that is a "financial institution" for purposes of the "mark-to-market rules" in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a partnership; (iii) an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment"; (iv) that has elected to report its "Canadian tax results" in a currency other than Canadian currency; or (v) that enters into a "derivative forward agreement" in respect of the Resulting Issuer Units (as each of those terms is defined in the Tax Act). Any such Resulting Issuer Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in Resulting Issuer Units.

This summary is based upon the facts set out in this Circular, the provisions of the Tax Act in force at the date hereof and counsel's understanding of the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA. This summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or in the administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, and does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed in this Circular. Modification or amendment of the Tax Act could significantly alter the tax status of Margaux or the tax consequences of investing in Resulting Issuer Units.

This summary will address the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a transfer of Odessa Shares to Margaux in exchange for Resulting Issuer Units (the "Exchanged Shares"). The income and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the Exchanged Shares or Resulting Issuer Units will vary depending on the holder's particular circumstances, including the province or provinces in which the holder of the Exchanged Shares or Resulting Issuer Units resides or carries on business. Accordingly, this summary is of a general nature

6445111.16


only and is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any Odessa Shareholder or prospective holder of Resulting Issuer Units. Investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Arrangement and the acquiring, holding or disposing of the Resulting Issuer Units based on their particular circumstances.

For the purposes of this summary and the opinion given under the heading "Eligibility for Investment", a reference to the "Margaux" is a reference to Margaux Real Estate Investment Trust only and is not a reference to any of its Subsidiaries or predecessors.

Exchange of Exchanged Shares for Resulting Issuer Units

An Odessa Shareholder who exchanges some or all of its Exchanged Shares for Resulting Issuer Units pursuant to the Arrangement will be considered to have disposed of such Exchanged Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate of the fair market value of the Resulting Issuer Units acquired by such Odessa Shareholder on the exchange.

An Odessa Shareholder will realize a "capital gain" (or "capital loss") (as each term is defined in the Tax Act) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the "adjusted cost base" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the holder of the Exchanged Shares. See the subheading below "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of Resulting Issuer Unitholders - Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

The cost to a holder of Resulting Issuer Units acquired in exchange for the Exchanged Shares will be the fair market value of such Exchanged Shares at the time of such exchange.

Status of Margaux

Qualification as a Mutual Fund Trust

This summary assumes that Margaux will qualify at all times as a "mutual fund trust" within the meaning of the Tax Act and that Margaux will validly elect under the Tax Act to be a mutual fund trust from the date it was established. An executive officer of Margaux has advised counsel that it intends to ensure that Margaux will meet the requirements necessary for it to qualify as a mutual fund trust upon closing of the Arrangement and at all times thereafter, and to file the election under subsection 132(6.1) of the Tax Act within the prescribed time to be deemed to have been a mutual fund trust from the date it was established. To qualify as a mutual fund trust, Margaux must: (a) be a "unit trust" as defined in the Tax Act; (b) restrict its undertaking to: (i) the investing of its funds in property (other than real property or an interest in real property or an immovable or real right in an immovable); (ii) the acquiring, holding, maintaining, improving, leasing or managing of any real property (or interest in real property, or of any immovable or real right in immovables) that is capital property of Margaux, or (iii) any combination of the activities described in (i) and (ii), and (c) comply on a continuous basis with certain minimum requirements respecting the ownership and dispersal of its Resulting Issuer Units. In the event that Margaux were not to qualify as a mutual fund trust at any particular time, the Canadian federal income tax consequences described below would, in some respects, be materially and adversely different.

SIFT Rules

This summary assumes that Margaux will at no time be a "SIFT trust" as defined in the rules in the Tax Act applicable to "SIFT trusts", "SIFT partnerships" and their investors (the "SIFT Rules"). The SIFT Rules effectively tax certain income of a publicly-traded trust or partnership that is distributed to investors on the same basis as would have applied had the income been earned through a taxable corporation and distributed

6445111.16


by way of dividend to its shareholders. These rules only apply to "SIFT trusts" and "SIFT partnerships" (each as defined in the Tax Act) and their investors.

Margaux will not be considered to be a SIFT trust in respect of a particular taxation year and, accordingly, will not be subject to the SIFT Rules in that year, if it does not own any "non-portfolio property" and does not carry on business in Canada in that year. The investment guidelines prohibit Margaux from owning any non-portfolio property. Provided Margaux does not own any "non- portfolio property", the SIFT Rules should have no application to Margaux or its Resulting Issuer Unitholders.

If Margaux were to become a SIFT trust, the income tax considerations described below would, in some respects, be materially and adversely different.

Taxation of Margaux

The taxation year of Margaux is the calendar year. Margaux must compute its income or loss for each taxation year as though it were an individual resident in Canada. Margaux's income for purposes of the Tax Act for each taxation year will include, among other things, any net realized taxable capital gains by Margaux in the year and its allocated share of the income of Margaux, as further described below.

For the purposes of the Tax Act, all income of Margaux must be calculated in Canadian currency. Where Margaux (or any of its Subsidiaries) holds investments or incurs indebtedness denominated in foreign currencies, gains or losses may be realized by Margaux (or its Subsidiaries) as a consequence of fluctuations in the relative value of the Canadian and foreign currencies. Margaux may enter into foreign currency swap arrangements. In accordance with the CRA's published administrative practice, gains and losses on currency hedging transactions may be treated as capital gains and capital losses provided there is sufficient linkage. Where Margaux enters into derivative transactions other than those that are on account of capital, including interest rate swaps, gains and losses on such derivatives will be treated as an amount on account of income rather than as capital gains and capital losses.

Margaux may deduct, in computing its income for tax purposes, amounts which are paid or become payable by it to Resulting Issuer Unitholders in such year. An amount will be considered to be payable in a taxation year if it is paid to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder in the year by Margaux or if a Resulting Issuer Unitholder is entitled in the year to enforce payment of the amount. Counsel has been advised by an executive officer of Margaux that the Trustees' current intention is to make payable to Resulting Issuer Unitholders each year sufficient amounts such that Margaux generally will not be liable to pay tax under Part I of the Tax Act. Where Margaux does not have sufficient cash to distribute such amounts in a particular taxation year, Margaux may make one or more in kind distributions in the form of additional Resulting Issuer Units. Income of Margaux payable to the Resulting Issuer Unitholders in the form of additional Resulting Issuer Units generally will be deductible to Margaux in computing its income. In computing its income or loss, Margaux may deduct administrative costs and other expenses of a current nature incurred by it for the purpose of earning income from its business or property, provided such expenses are reasonable and otherwise deductible, subject to the applicable provisions of the Tax Act. Margaux may also deduct any expenses incurred by it in the course of the issuance of its Resulting Issuer Units on a five-year straight line basis (subject to proration for short taxation years).

A distribution by Margaux of its property upon a redemption of Resulting Issuer Units will be treated as a disposition by Margaux of such property for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value thereof. Margaux will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds from the disposition of the property exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the relevant property and any reasonable costs of disposition.

6445111.16


Losses incurred by Margaux cannot be allocated to Resulting Issuer Unitholders but may be deducted by Margaux in future years in accordance with the Contract of Trust and the Tax Act. In the event Margaux would otherwise be liable for tax on its net realized taxable capital gains for a taxation year, it will be entitled for such taxation year to reduce (or receive a refund in respect of) its liability for such tax by an amount determined under the Tax Act based on the redemption of Resulting Issuer Units of Margaux during the year (the "capital gains refund"). In certain circumstances, the capital gains refund in a particular taxation year may not completely offset Margaux's tax liability for the taxation year arising in connection with the transfer of property in specie to redeeming Resulting Issuer Unitholders on the redemption of Resulting Issuer Units. The Contract of Trust provides that the trustees may designate and make payable any income or capital gains realized by Margaux as a result of such redemption to the redeeming Resulting Issuer Unitholder. Such income, or the taxable portion of the capital gain so designated, must be included in the income of the redeeming Resulting Issuer Unitholder (as income or taxable capital gains) and will be deductible by Margaux in computing its income.

Taxation of Resulting Issuer Unitholders

Distributions

Subject to the application of the SIFT Rules discussed above, a Resulting Issuer Unitholder will generally be required to include in income for a particular taxation year the portion of the net income of Margaux for the taxation year ending on or before the particular taxation year-end of the Resulting Issuer Unitholder, including net realized taxable capital gains, that is paid or payable, or deemed to be paid or payable, to the Resulting Issuer Unitholder in the particular taxation year (and that Margaux deducts in computing its income), whether such portion is received in cash, additional Resulting Issuer Units or otherwise.

Provided that the appropriate designations are made by Margaux, such portion of its net taxable capital gains and foreign source income, as the case may be, as is paid or payable to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder will effectively retain its character and be treated as such in the hands of the Resulting Issuer Unitholder for purposes of the Tax Act. The share of the "business-income tax" and "non-business-income tax" of each partner of Margaux paid to a foreign country will be creditable against such partner's Canadian federal income tax liability to the extent permitted by the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act. Although the foreign tax credit provisions are designed to avoid double taxation, the maximum credit is limited. Because of this, and because of timing differences in recognition of expenses and income and other factors, double taxation may arise.

The non-taxable portion of any net capital gains of Margaux that is paid or payable, or deemed to be paid or payable, to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder in a taxation year will not be included in computing the Resulting Issuer Unitholder's income for the year. Any other amount in excess of the net income and net taxable capital gains of Margaux that is paid or payable, or deemed to be paid or payable, by Margaux to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder in a taxation year, should not generally be included in the Resulting Issuer Unitholder's income for the year. A Resulting Issuer Unitholder will be required to reduce the adjusted cost base of its Resulting Issuer Units by the portion of any amount (other than the non-taxable portion of net realized capital gains of Margaux for the year, the taxable portion of which was designated by Margaux in respect of the Resulting Issuer Unitholder) paid or payable to such Resulting Issuer Unitholder that was not included in computing the Resulting Issuer Unitholder's income. To the extent that the adjusted cost base of a Resulting Issuer Unit would otherwise be less than zero, the negative amount will be deemed to be a capital gain realized by the Resulting Issuer Unitholder from the disposition of the Resulting Issuer Unit and will be added to the adjusted cost base of the Resulting Issuer Unit so that the adjusted cost base will be reset to zero. The composition of distributions paid by Margaux, portions of which may be fully or partially taxable or non-taxable, may change over time, affecting the after-tax return to Resulting Issuer Unitholders.

6445111.16


Disposition of Resulting Issuer Units

On a disposition or deemed disposition of a Resulting Issuer Unit (including a redemption), a Resulting Issuer Unitholder will generally realize a capital gain (or sustain a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the Resulting Issuer Unitholder's "proceeds of disposition" (as defined in the Tax Act) exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Resulting Issuer Unit and any reasonable costs of disposition.

For the purpose of determining the adjusted cost base to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder, when a Resulting Issuer Unit is acquired, the cost of the newly-acquired Resulting Issuer Unit will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all of the Resulting Issuer Units owned by the Resulting Issuer Unitholder as capital property immediately before that acquisition. The adjusted cost base of a Resulting Issuer Unit to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder will include all amounts paid by the Resulting Issuer Unitholder for the Unit, with certain adjustments. The cost to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder of Resulting Issuer Units received in lieu of a cash distribution of income of Margaux will be equal to the amount of such distribution that is satisfied by the issuance of such Resulting Issuer Units.

A redemption of Resulting Issuer Units in consideration for cash or other assets of Margaux will be a disposition of such Resulting Issuer Units for proceeds of disposition equal to such cash or the fair market value of such other assets, as the case may be, less any income or capital gain realized by Margaux in connection with the redemption of those Resulting Issuer Units to the extent that such income or capital gain is designated to the redeeming Resulting Issuer Unitholder. Resulting Issuer Unitholders exercising the right of redemption will consequently realize a capital gain, or sustain a capital loss, depending upon whether the proceeds of disposition received exceed, or are less than, the adjusted cost base of the Resulting Issuer Units redeemed. Where income or capital gain realized by Margaux in connection with the distribution of property in specie on the redemption of Resulting Issuer Units has been designated by Margaux to a redeeming Resulting Issuer Unitholder, the Resulting Issuer Unitholder will be required to include in income the income or taxable portion of the capital gain so designated. The cost of any property distributed in specie by Margaux to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder upon redemption of Resulting Issuer Units will be equal to the fair market value of that property at the time of the distribution. The Resulting Issuer Unitholder will thereafter be required to include in income interest or other income derived from the property, in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

The consolidation of Resulting Issuer Units of Margaux will not be considered to result in a disposition of Resulting Issuer Units by Resulting Issuer Unitholders. The aggregate adjusted cost base to a Resulting Issuer Unitholder of all of the Resulting Issuer Unitholder's Resulting Issuer Units will not change as a result of a consolidation of Resulting Issuer Units; however, the adjusted cost base per Resulting Issuer Unit will increase accordingly.

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

One-half of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by a Resulting Issuer Unitholder on a disposition or deemed disposition of Resulting Issuer Units and the amount of any net taxable capital gains designated by Margaux in respect of a Resulting Issuer Unitholder will be included in the Resulting Issuer Unitholder's income as a taxable capital gain. One half of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized by a Resulting Issuer Unitholder on a disposition or deemed disposition of Resulting Issuer Units will be deducted from taxable capital gains of the Resulting Issuer Unitholder in the year of disposition as an allowable capital loss. Allowable capital losses realized in excess of taxable capital gains in a particular taxation year may generally be deducted against taxable capital gains realized in the three preceding taxation years or in any subsequent taxation year, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

6445111.16


A Resulting Issuer Unitholder that is a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax on certain types of income, including taxable capital gains.

Corporate Holders

A Resulting Issuer Unitholder which is a Canadian-controlled private corporation (as defined in the Tax Act) will be subject to a refundable tax in respect of its aggregate investment income for the year, which will include all or substantially all income and capital gains distributed to the Resulting Issuer Unitholder by Margaux and capital gains realized on a disposition of Resulting Issuer Units.

Alternative Minimum Tax

A Resulting Issuer Unitholder may have an increased liability for alternative minimum tax as a result of capital gains realized on a disposition of Resulting Issuer Units and net income of Margaux paid or payable, or deemed to be paid or payable, to the Resulting Issuer Unitholder and that is designated as net taxable capital gains.

Dissenting Shareholders

If a Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder exercises Arrangement Resolution Dissent Rights and receives the fair value for its Odessa Shares from Odessa, such Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder will generally be deemed to have received a taxable dividend from Odessa to the extent, if any, by which the payment received (other than any amount in respect of interest awarded by the court) exceeds the "paid-up capital" (as defined in the Tax Act) of such Odessa Shares, and the balance of the payment (other than any amount in respect of interest awarded by the court) will be received by the Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder as proceeds of disposition of such Odessa Shares. To the extent, if any, that such proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder's adjusted cost base of the Odessa Shares, the Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss, as the case may be) that will be subject to the usual rules of the Tax Act applicable to capital gains or losses (as described above). In certain cases, all or part of a deemed dividend received by a Dissenting Arrangement Shareholder that is a corporation may be treated as proceeds of disposition and not as a deemed dividend. Dissenting Arrangement Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of an exercise of Arrangement Resolution Dissent Rights.

GENERAL MATTERS

SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship for the Qualifying Transaction is required by Exchange Policy 2.2 unless an exemption or a waiver from the requirements is granted to the Resulting Issuer by the Exchange. The Resulting Issuer has applied for, and the Exchange has provided the Resulting Issuer with, a waiver from the sponsorship requirement in accordance with Exchange Policies.

Neither Odessa nor Margaux has entered into any agreement with any registrant to provide sponsorship or corporate finance services, either now or in the future.

Independent Auditor's Report

MNP

To the Shareholders of Odessa Capital Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Odessa Capital Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2023, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from January 18, 2023 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2023, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period from January 18, 2023 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2023, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

MNP


We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Walter-Armando Gomez Figueroa.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
(in Canadian dollars)

  1. STATUTES AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Odessa Capital Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on January 18, 2023. The Company proposes to carry on business as a "Capital Pool Company" ("CPC"), as such term is defined in TSX Venture Exchange Inc. Policy 2.4. The Company's principal purpose is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of assets, properties or businesses subject to the acceptance by the Exchange. The Company's registered and head office address is 800 - 333 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2Z1.

These financial statements were approved on April 25, 2024 by the Board of Directors.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These financial statements are prepared by the Company in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

Basis of presentation

The financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company operates as a going concern and have been prepared under historical cost, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, and are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.

Use of estimates and judgments

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates, exercise judgments and make assumptions on accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of share-based payments

Management estimates the fair value of share-based payments, using various assumptions such as the volatility, common share value, forfeiture rates and discount rates used in the Black-Scholes valuation model. These assumptions are subject to risk, variability, and uncertainty. Any material changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in the grant date fair value of the share-based payment awards and expenses recognized.

  1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents is comprised of cash held with a Canadian chartered bank and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less.

Financial assets and liabilities

The financial assets and liabilities are recorded when the Company is contractually engaged to the terms of the financial instrument. Financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 - Financial instruments classifies and measures financial assets in three categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, adjusted in certain circumstances for transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method except for financial liabilities measured at FVTPL.

The Company's financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets. The financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accruals.

The financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on a fair value hierarchy which establishes the priority of input data used in measurement techniques detailed in IFRS 7 : Financial instruments : disclosures. The hierarchy prioritizes at the highest level quoted data from active markets of similar assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement), and at the lowest level non observable data (level 3 measurement). The three hierarchy levels are the following:

ODESSA CAPITAL LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
(in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: This level includes measurements that use, either directly or indirectly, observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1. Assets and liabilities in this category are measured using models or other standard valuation techniques which use observable market data.

Level 3: The measurements in this level depend upon inputs that are less observable, not available or for which observable inputs do not justify most of the assets and liabilities' fair value.

The Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position consist of cash and cash equivalents measured at level 1 and other financial assets.

Share-based compensation

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of awards expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted loss per share reflects the potential issuance of shares following the exercise of options, if dilutive. For the period ended on December 31, 2023, the diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share.

Functional currency

The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar, which represents the currency of the primary economic environment of the Company.

Standards, modifications and future interpretations

At the date of approval of the financial statements, new standards, new modifications and new interpretations of current standards have been issued, but not yet effective. The Company has decided not to apply them earlier. It will apply them when they will become effective.

4. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and ensure sufficient liquidity in order to complete a Qualifying Transaction so that it can provide adequate returns for shareholders. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital as total

The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
(in Canadian dollars)

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair values

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of the financial instruments carried at amortized cost approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company manages these risk exposures on an ongoing basis. Its exposure to risks and how they are managed are described below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its commercial obligations. As at December 31, 2023, the Company is not exposed to credit risk as its cash and cash equivalents as well as its other financial assets are held with a reputable bank.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a positive working capital position and sufficient cash balances to enable settlement of transactions on the due date. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

Authorised:

An unlimited number of common shares without par value, voting and participating.

An unlimited number of preferred shares without nominal or par value that may be issued in one or more series and the directors are authorized to fix the number of shares in each series and to determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the shares of each series.

Balance December 31, 2023 3,500,000
Balance of vested options 3,500,000

Share-based compensation

The fair value of the options was estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

| | Date of grant
August 3, 2023 |
| --- | --- |
| Share price ($) | 0.10 |
| Exercise price ($) | 0.10 |
| Expected distribution ($) | 0.0000 |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | 3.36 |
| Expected annual volatility (%) | 100.00 |
| Expected life (years) | 5,00 - 10,00 |
| Fair value of option ($) | 0.075 - 0.09 |

Under the category of share-based compensation, an expense of $181,400 was recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss and an amount of $114,000 to shares issue costs in respect of the shares options. The total compensation was recorded to contributed surplus.

Loss per share

The shares options are anti dilutive as their exercise price is higher than the average share price.

  1. STATUTES AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Odessa Capital Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on January 18, 2023. The Company proposes to carry on business as a "Capital Pool Company" ("CPC"), as such term is defined in TSX Venture Exchange Inc. Policy 2.4. The Company's principal purpose is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of assets, properties or businesses subject to the acceptance by the Exchange. The Company's registered and head office address is 800 - 333 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2Z1.

These financial statements were approved on December 3, 2024 by the Board of Directors.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Stement of compliance and presentation

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and International Financing Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements and notes thereto prepared for the period ended December 31, 2023.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the following material accounting policies that have been applied consistently to all the periods presented.

Use of estimates and judgments

In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates, exercise judgments and make assumptions on accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The material accounting policies used in preparing these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 - Material Accounting Policies of the Company's annual audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2023.

  1. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and ensure sufficient liquidity in order to complete a Qualifying Transaction so that it can provide adequate returns for shareholders. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital as total equity.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company.

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair values

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other assets and accounts payable and accruals. The fair values of the financial instruments carried at amortized cost approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company manages these risk exposures on an ongoing basis. Its exposure to risks and how they are managed are described below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its commercial obligations. As at September 30, 2024, the Company is not exposed to credit risk as its cash and cash equivalents as well as its other assets are held with a reputable bank.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Accounts payable and accruals generally have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a positive working capital position and sufficient cash balances to enable settlement of transactions on the due date. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

Authorised:

An unlimited number of common shares without par value, voting and participating.

An unlimited number of preferred shares without nominal or par value that may be issued in one or more series and the directors are authorized to fix the number of shares in each series and to determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the shares of each series.

Issued and paid:

Number # Price / share $ Value $

Changes during the period 2023:

Share issue costs (383 715)
Balance December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024 20 000 000 1 366 285

On January 18, 2023, the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares under a private placement. The shares were issued at a price of $0.05 per share for total proceeds of $250,000.

On August 3, 2023, the Company issued 15,000,000 common shares under an initial public offering ("IPO"). The shares were issued at a price of $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $1,500,000. Share issue costs amounted to $383,715.

6. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

Share options plan

Options to directors and officers

On August 3, 2023, the Company granted share options to its officers and directors. The options have a term of 10 years and are exercisable for shares of the Company. 2,000,000 shares options were granted by the Company.

Agent's options

The Company also granted share options to the IPO agent representing 10% of the shares issued from the offering. The options have a term of 5 years and are exercisable for shares of the Company. 1,500,000 share options were granted by the Company.

A summary of changes in the Company's share purchase options is detailed as follows:

| | Number

| Exercise

Price
$ | Expiry
Date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Balance at incorporation date | - | - | |
| Changes during the year 2023: | | | |
| Options granted on August 3, 2023 | 1 500 000 | 0.10 | August 3, 2028 |
| Options granted on August 3, 2023 | 2 000 000 | 0.10 | August 3, 2033 |
| Balance of vested options at December 31, 2023 | 3 500 000 | 0.10 | |
| Changes during the period 2024: | | | |
| Options cancelled on September 30, 2024 | (600 000) | 0.10 | August 3, 2033 |
| Balance of vested options at September 30, 2024 | 2 900 000 | 0.10 | |

During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company has cancelled 600,000 options following the resignation of officers who have not exercised their options within the allocated period of time following a resignation. There was no impact on share-based compensation as a result of the cancellation because the options vested on issuance.

Share-based compensation

The fair value of the options was estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Date of grant
August 3, 2023
Share price ($) 0.10
Exercise price ($) 0.10
Expected distribution ($) 0,0000
Risk-free interest rate (%) 3.36
Expected annual volatility (%) 100.00
Expected life (years) 5.00 - 10.00
Fair value of option ($) 0.075 - 0.09

Under the category of share-based compensation, an expense of $181,400 was recorded in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) of the period ended September 30, 2023 and an amount of $114,000 to shares issue costs in respect of the shares options. The total compensation was recorded to contributed surplus.

Income (loss) per share

The shares options are anti dilutive as their exercise price is higher than the average share price.

Pursuant to the proposed Transaction, each issued and outstanding common share of the Company ("Common Shares") will be exchanged into units of Margaux ("REIT Units") on a 1:1 basis (following the Consolidation (defined below)). Additionally, following the Consolidation explained below, it is expected that: (i) the outstanding agent's options will be exchanged for 125,000 replacement agent's options issued by Newco with the same terms as the option exchanged therefore, and (ii) 116,667 unexercised incentive stock options of the Company shall be exchanged for replacement options issued by Newco with the same terms as the option exchanged therefore.

In connection with the Transaction, it is expected that the outstanding Common Shares and options of the Company will be consolidated on a 12:1 basis prior to the completion of the Transaction (the "Consolidation") and issuance of REIT Units.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Trustees of
Margaux Real Estate Investment Trust

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Margaux Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries (the Trust), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy informations.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Trust as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Trust in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter – Consolidated Financial Statements

We draw attention to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes that the consolidated financial statements that we originally reported on June 27, 2024 have been amended and describes the matter that gave rise to the amendment of the consolidated financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Trust's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Page 3

BDRF CPA INC.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Trust to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Trust to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

  1. STATUTES AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Margaux real estate investment trust (the "Trust") is an unincorporated open-ended real estate investment trust formed on October 29, 2021 under the laws of the province of Quebec.

The Trust, through its subsidiaries, provides short-term storage facility services. Its head office is located at 180 chemin Des Patriotes Sud, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, J3H 5J3.

Storage facility services are the sole segment of operations of the Trust.

These consolidated financial statements were approved on December 19, 2024 by the Board of Trustees.

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Margaux real estate investment trust and its subsidiaries comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis except for the following items of the consolidated statement of financial position which are valued at fair value:

  • Unit-based compensation
  • Contingent payment liability

The consolidated financial statements are presented in canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Trust.

  1. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

In preparing the Trust's consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, exercise judgments and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The key judgments and major assumptions made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Judgments

Nature of acquisitions

At the time of an acquisition, the Trust examines if the transaction represents a business combination or an acquisition of assets and liabilities. To determine if the Trust's acquisition represents a business combination rather than an asset acquisition, the Trust examines if it has purchased a business which consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. The factors the Trust considers are as follows:

1) Whether the Trust has acquired a single asset or group of assets;
2) Whether the Trust has taken on the management of personnel;
3) Whether the Trust has acquired an operational platform.

Acquisitions that represent business combinations are recorded in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations." Acquisitions that do not correspond to business combinations are recorded as acquisitions of assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair value.

Estimates

Real estate

The useful life and the residual value of the real estate are estimates and judgments made by the Trust.

Business combinations

To determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Trust uses valuation models like future cash flows, discount rates, that include estimates.

Page 5


MARGAUX REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

(in canadian dollars)

3. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)

Contingent payment liability

The Trust has estimated the future potential payment payable as well as the discount rate.

Unit-based compensation

The fair value of unit-based compensation recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model as the fair value cannot be derived from active markets. The estimates used are the average expected life, the average expected annual volatility rate and the average risk-free interest rate.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Trust and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Trust exercises control. The Trust determines an existence of control when it has decision power over the subsidiary and has the ability to use this power to affect returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control arises.

Name Ownership
9451-8305 Québec Inc. 100%
Self Storage Drummond L.P. 100%
Cowansville Self Storage L.P. 100%
Alpha Roxton Pond L.P. 100%

Business combinations

Business combinations are recorded based on the acquisition method where assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed are measured at their fair value at the time of acquisition ("net assets"). If the consideration paid is greater than the fair value of net assets, the excess is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration paid is less, the difference is directly recorded to the statement of income and comprehensive income. Results of operation of an acquired business are included in the Trust's consolidated financial statements from the date of the business acquisition. Business acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred and disclosed as acquisition costs to the statement of income and comprehensive income.

Real estate and equipments

Real estate and equipments represent assets used to earn storage revenues. They are recorded at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful life. Historical cost includes all disbursements directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The method and rates of amortization is as follows:

Buildings Declining balance 4%
Leasehold improvements Declining balance 20%
Parking Declining balance 8%
Equipments Declining balance 20%

Subsequent costs are added to the asset's carrying value if the future economic benefits flow to the Trust and costs can be measured correctly. Amortization is taken when the asset is ready for use.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with a determinate life are recorded at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful life. Historical cost includes all disbursements directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The method and rates of amortization is as follows:

Software Straight-line 3 years
Tenants' list Straight-line 3-10 years

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less from the date of acquisition are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Trust units

The Trust units are redeemable upon unitholders demand and are therefore puttable instruments that are considered as financial liabilities. However, they meet certain conditions under IAS 32 that allow puttable instruments to be presented as equity.

  1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities
On initial recognition, all financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Subsequently they are measured following their classification.

Financial assets
For subsequent measurement, there are two measurement categories into which the Trust classifies its financial assets.
a) Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where they represent solely payments of principal and interest.
b) FVTPL (fair value through profit or loss): Assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost.

Cash, term deposit and other financial assets are classified as amortized cost.

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. Interest expense from financial liabilities classified as amortized cost is included in financial expenses using the effective interest rate method.

Accounts payable, mortgages and sales price balance are classified as amortized cost.

Contingent payment liability is classified as FVTPL.

Fair value measurement
Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted price for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Trust can access at the measurement date. As at December 31, 2023, no asset and/or liability is valued upon level 1.

Level 2: This level includes measurements that use, either directly or indirectly, observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1. Assets and liabilities in this category are measured using models or other standard valuation techniques which use observable market data. As at December 31, 2023, no asset and/or liability is valued upon level 2.

Level 3: The measurements in this level depend upon inputs that are less observable, not available or for which observable inputs do not justify most of the assets and liabilities' fair value. As at December 31, 2023, the contingent payment liability and the unit-based compensation represent the assets and/or liabilities valued upon level 3.

Revenue recognition
The revenues from storage facility services include payments received from users under service contracts determined under IFRS 16 "Leases". The service contracts are on a month-to-month basis and can be terminated by the users without penalties or obligations upon vacating the storage room. Storage facility services revenue are recorded as per the service contracts and starts when the tenant has the right to use the rental spacing area. The non refundable deposits obtained at the signature of all new contracts are recorded similarly. Interest revenue are recorded when earned.

Leases
The existing service contracts of the storage properties are considered as operating leases as the Trust substantially retains all risks and benefits of ownership of these properties.

Unit-based compensation
The Trust uses the fair value-based method of accounting for its unit-based compensation under which compensation expense is measured at fair value at the grant date and at the end of each reporting period. The Trust's units are redeemable at the option of the holder and, therefore, are classified as financial liabilities. The conditions under IAS 32 that allow certain puttable instruments to be presented as equity do not apply to unit-based compensation under IFRS 2. Accordingly, the unit-based compensation is measured at fair value and the change in the fair value is recognized to income.

5. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CORRECTION OF ERRORS

During the year, the Trust has determined that its previous acquisitions were more acquisitions of businesses rather than acquisitions of assets. The nature, depth and extent of the operations and acquired assets made management realized that the Trust acquired a business rather than an asset. The Trust has then adjusted the recording of its acquisitions by applying IFRS 3 "Business combinations". This correction of errors was applied retrospectively for the acquisitions of Drummondville in 2021 and Cowansville in 2022 (note 6). For Drummondville, the correction of errors affected the opening balance of retained earnings of January 1, 2022 by an increase of $590,560, representing the gain on bargain purchase of $600,000 reduced by acquisition costs of $9,440. For Cowansville, the correction of errors affected the income of 2022 by $49,449 which represents the acquisition costs incurred in the acquisition. The effect of this correction of errors on the presented numbers are shown in the following table:

Previously Presented Presented Restatement
Drummondville
Investment properties 859 440 - (859 440)
Land & buildings - 1 425 000 1 425 000
Parking - 25 000 25 000
Retained earnings - balance January 1, 2022 (108 410) 482 150 590 560
Cowansville
Investment properties 1 600 551 - (1 600 551)
Land & buildings - 1 300 000 1 300 000
Parking - 350 000 350 000
Equipments - 25 000 25 000
Tenants' list 325 000 300 000 (25 000)
Acquisition costs - 49 449 (49 449)

The Trust has also determined that the expected annual volatility used to calculate the Unit-based compensation expense was not representative with companies in the same line of business. The Trust has compared expected volatility of similar companies for which shares and options are traded and has concluded to change the percentage of volatility used in the financial statements. The Trust has changed the percentage of volatility from 5% to 28%. This correction of errors was applied retrospectively. The effect of this correction of errors on the presented numbers are shown in the following table:

Previously
Presented Presented Restatement
Retained earnings - balance January 1, 2022 (108 410) (271 230) (162 820)
Unit-based compensation expense - December 31, 2022 258 820 286 000 (27 180)
Unit-based compensation liability - December 31, 2021 103 180 266 000 162 820
Unit-based compensation liability - December 31, 2022 362 000 552 000 190 000

Furthermore management has determined that the Trust operations were more storage facility services rather than rental revenues from investment properties. The services included in the contracts, their short maturity, the almost non existent responsibility of users; these factors were more associated to service revenue rather than rental income. The Trust has then changed its accounting policies and applied IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" rather than IAS 40 "Investment property" to record and value the acquired property assets. The assets are now amortized over their estimated useful lives. This change in accounting policies was applied retrospectively for the acquisitions of Drummondville and Cowansville. The effects of this change on the presented amounts are shown in the following table.

On December 22, 2021, the Trust acquired a real estate property located in the region of Drummondville (Qc) and a tenants' list of an aggregate fair value of $1,600,000 for a consideration of $1,000,000. The gain on bargain purchase of $600,000 was recorded to income. This acquisition was made at arm's length with a company controlled by a unitholder. The seller accepted this offer as he considers realizing its deferred gain when he sells his investment in the Trust.

On August 23, 2022, the Trust acquired a real estate property located in the region of Cowansville (Qc) and a tenants' list for a consideration of $1,975,000.

On March 16, 2023, the Trust acquired a real estate property located in the region of Roxton Pond (Qc) and a tenants' list of an aggregate fair value of $3,400,000 for a consideration of $3,110,000 including a contingent amount of $110,000 representing the actual value of a payment payable February 28, 2028. The gain on bargain purchase of $290,000 was recorded to income. Acquisition costs amounted to $67,731. As part of the transaction, the seller becomes owner of the Trust. The seller accepted this offer as he considers realizing its deferred gain when he sells his investment in the Trust. The transaction is subject to a potential payment based on the profitability of the operations of the first 5 years. The Trust estimated that it could pay the maximum amount of $200,000 in 5 years. Storage revenue provided by this acquisition amounts to $220,126 in this year's numbers. Net loss from operations amounts to $116,037.

12. TRUST UNITS (continued)

Unit-based compensation

The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant and at the end of the year using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the following assumptions:

2023 2022
Unit price ($) 1.15 1.05
Exercise price ($) 1.00 - 1.15 1.00 - 1.05
Expected distribution ($) 0.001 0.001
Risk-free interest rate (%) 3.10 - 3.29 3.08 - 3.29
Expected annual volatility (%) 28,00 28,00
Expected life (years) 6.21 - 8.67 9.00 - 9.67
Fair value of option 0.41 - 0.51 0.46

The expected annual volatility was derived from similar listed companies for which share price or option price information is available. The Trust used this approach as it has no historical information on the trading of its units.

Current and deferred income taxes

The Trust qualifies as a mutual fund trust and a REIT for income tax purposes. The Trust expects to distribute all of its taxable income to unitholders and is entitled to deduct such distributions for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for current income taxes payable is required, except for amounts incurred in its incorporated subsidiary. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the subsidiary had no current and deferred taxes

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of cash, term deposit, other financial assets and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity.

The fair value of mortgages and sales price balance was estimated from current market rates of financial instruments with similar terms and maturity.

The fair value of the contingent payment liability has been estimated on projected future profits and market rates of financial instruments with similar terms and maturity.

The Trust's policy concerning hierarchy level transfers is that level transfers occur when, at closing date, fair value data used in valuation changes or when valuation techniques also change.

The following table shows the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities as well as their fair value. It also shows their hierarchy level of valuation.

17. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Trust's capital management objectives are first to ensure the longevity of its capital so as to support continued operations, provide its unitholders with a return, maintain the most optimal capitalization possible with a view of keeping capital costs to a minimum.

The Trust's uses its capital for acquisitions, repayments of mortgages and other debts and projected payment of distributions to unitholders.

The Trust's capital components are as follows:

Capital 2023 2022
Mortgages 1 763 652 295 000
Balance of sale 500 000 200 000
Trust units 4 314 000 4 007 100
6 577 652 4 502 100

18. RISK MANAGEMENT

Management of risks arising from financial instruments

In the normal course of business, the Trust is exposed to credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Trust manages these risk exposures on an ongoing basis. In order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on its expenses and cash flows, the Trust constantly follows the evolution of the market interest rate and consequently determines the composition of its debts.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk, for which the Trust has an exposure, concerns its mortgages and sales price balance. These financial instruments with a fixed rate of interest expose the Trust to a fair value risk.

The mortgages and the sales price balance have a fixed interest rate until maturity. This reduces the market rate volatility risk.

Each change of 1% of the interest rates would have an impact of $22,636 on the financial expenses of the year.

Liquidity risk

The Trust is exposed to the risk of being unable to honour its financial commitments by the deadlines set out under the terms of such commitments. Senior management manages the Trust's cash resources in accordance with the financial forecasts and anticipated cash flows.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:

18. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Status of the REIT

The Trust is required to comply with specific restrictions regarding its activities and the investments held by it in order to maintain its real estate investment trust status ("REIT"). Should the Trust cease to qualify as a REIT, the consequences could be material and adverse. As well, the Trust conducts its affairs in order to qualify as a REIT under applicable tax statutes so that it retains its status as a flowthrough vehicle for the particular year. Should the Trust not meet the conditions to qualify as a REIT in a particular year, it may be subject to tax similar to a corporation, which may have an adverse impact on it and its unitholders, on the value of the units and on its ability to undertake financings and acquisitions. This could also materially reduce its distributable cash. Management believes that it complies with the REIT rules.

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Acquisition costs include an amount of $15,000 (2022: $0) paid to a company controlled by a trustee.

Administrative expenses include an amount of $6,900 (2022: $2,100) paid to a trustee for services rendered in exchange of Trust units. They also include amounts of $914 (2022: $25,000) paid to companies controlled by trustees, $25,000 (2022: $7,500) paid to a company with a common director as well as $27,210 (2022: $0) paid to an individual, shareholder of a company that holds units. As at December 31, 2023, $6,898 (2022: $2,874) was payable.

Financial expenses include an interest amount of $11,315 (2022: $20,800) on a debt provided by a company that holds units of the Trust. They also include an interest amount of $22,500 (2022: $3,800) on a debt provided by a company controlled by a unitholder. As at December 31, 2023, $50,715 (2022: $24,400) was payable.

Officers and Trustees compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Trust granted 400,000 units options (2023: 0) to a trustee and 100,000 unit options (2023: 0) to a key consultant. An expense of $230,000 was recorded to income under Unit-based compensation.

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Takeover transaction

On March 19, 2024, the Trust entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Odessa Capital Ltd. ("Odessa") pursuant to which the Trust and Odessa intend to complete a reverse takeover transaction (the "Transaction") to form the resulting issuer ("Newco").

Prior to the completion of the Transaction, Margaux intends to complete a non-brokered private placement offering of up to $3,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Private Placement shall be in the form of convertible debentures of Margaux ("Debentures"). The Private Placement will take place concurrently with the Transaction. The maturity date as well as the exercise price on conversion to Margaux's units have not yet been determined.

Pursuant to the proposed Transaction, each issued and outstanding common share of the Odessa ("Common Shares") will be exchanged into units of Margaux ("REIT Units") on a 1:1 basis (following the Consolidation (defined below)). Additionally, following the Consolidation, it is expected that: (i) the outstanding agent's options granted by Odessa will be exchanged for 125,000 replacement agent's options issued by Newco with the same terms as the option exchanged therefore, and (ii) 116,667 unexercised incentive stock options of Odessa shall be exchanged for replacement options issued by Newco with the same terms as the option exchanged therefore.

In connection with the Transaction, it is expected that the outstanding Common Shares and options of the Odessa will be consolidated on a 12:1 basis prior to the completion of the Transaction (the "Consolidation") and issuance of REIT Units.

Credit facilities

On May 3, 2024, the Trust finalized with a financial institution a signed agreement dated December 27, 2023 and obtained an authorized line of credit of $350,000, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 0.50%. The line of credit is secured by a property and by a first rank mortgage of $750,000 on all moveable assets of a subsidiary of the Trust.

  1. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

Mortgage refinance
On July 15, 2024, the Trust obtained a long term financing in the amount of $325,000 to partly cover the construction costs of a new building in Roxton Pond. This financing was blended with an existing long term debt which now totals $1,765,000. This long term debt bears interest at 5.43% per year, matures on July 15, 2028 and is payable by monthly instalments of $12,450.

Takeover transaction
On July 22, 2024, the Trust signed an arrangement agreement with Odessa Capital Ltd. ("Odessa") pursuant to which the Trust and Odessa intend to complete a reverse takeover transaction (the "Transaction") whereby the Trust will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Odessa.

Mortgage settlement
On September 16, 2024, the Trust paid off the balance of sale of $295,000 and the interests thereon by issuing a note in the amount of $345,000 bearing interest at 5% per year. The holder of the note, which is related to a trustee, has agreed to exchange the said note, up to an amount of $300,000, to buy $156,000 of convertible debentures bearing interest at 6%, payable semi annually, convertible from the date of issuance in units of the Trust at $1.40 per unit and 120,000 units at a price of $1.20.

Balance of sale under arbitration
With regards to the balance of sale in the amount of $200,000 owed to the seller of the Cowansville property, the Trust has proposed an arbitration to the seller because the Trust has two important claims against him. One being the violation of a non compete clause. This arbitration has been refused. It is now likely that the matter will go to court and according to our legal counsel, it could take many years before the matter is resolved.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE ISSUER’S BUSINESS

Margaux is a real estate investment trust incorporated on October 29, 2021. The Trust through its subsidiaries owns and rents storage spacing As at December 31, 2023, the Trust had 3 buildings of self storage. The 3 buildings are located in the province of Quebec. These buildings, with between 50-90 self storage rooms, are leased on a month-to-month basis to corporate and individual customers. Despite a possibility of high turnover of customers, the buildings are almost continuously fully leased.

MAJOR EVENT OF THE YEAR

On March 16, 2023, Margaux acquired a real estate property located in Roxton Pond (Qc) for a total consideration of $3,000,000. The Trust also paid $67,731 as other related acquisition costs. The Trust valued the acquired assets to $3,400,000 for which $3,100,000 was attributed to the property and $300,000 to a tenants’ list. In this transaction the Trust could have to pay in 5 years an additional amount up to $200,000 based on the profitability of the operations of the first 5 years.

OUTLOOK 2024

The Trust is constantly looking for acquisitions of self storage buildings with good cash flows. It privileges buildings where possible expansion can be realized. It plans to undertake construction expansion on the Roxton Pond property where 25 storage rooms will be added for a budgeted cost of $475,000.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 22, 2024, the Trust signed an arrangement agreement with Odessa Capital Ltd.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

The increase in rental income comes from the acquisitions made on March 16, 2023 and August 23, 2022, the latter having a full impact on the 2023 numbers. The operating costs have increased following the 2 acquisitions just mentioned. The expenses, that include professional fees, debts interests, amortization of real estate and intangible assets and lastly unit based compensation, have increased following the acquisitions of real estate and equipments made in August 2022 and March 2023 which increased the amortization expense by $252,863 counterbalanced by a lower unit based compensation expense of $144,000. This decrease in the last category of expenses is explained by a lower number of units options granted in 2023 than 2022.

The Trust's storage income is sufficient to pay direct operating costs, administrative expenses and debts interests. It was also used this year to pay a large portion of the other related acquisition costs. Funds obtained (used) in the operating activities include net storage income less expenses. The funds from operating activities used in 2022 include acquisition costs of $49,449 that cannot be fully recovered by subsequent storage income because the acquisition took place late in 2022. Acquisition costs of 2023, to the amount of $67,731, were largely recovered by the additional storage income provided by this acquisition in March 2023. The increase in 2023 is also explained by the profitability of the operations.


Funds used in the investing activities represent cash paid for acquisitions of properties.

Funds obtained from the financing activities come from issuance of units whereas funds used represent the payments of debts incurred for the acquisitions.

To the present, the acquisitions of properties are largely paid by the proceeds of past issuance of units of the Trust. For its future acquisitions, management intends to finance them with a larger portion of debts.

The Trust expects to be able to meet all its obligations as they become due. The Trust has sufficient liquidity provided by its cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities. The Trust considers that it has the ability to obtain funds from raising equity and debt when needed. It also considers that it has the ability to refinance or paid debts that mature.

As detailed in the subsequent events section further down, the Trust has obtained in 2024 financing from banks through credit facilities and refinanced mortgages. This provides strong liquidity available to the Trust.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The real estate business requires capital in order to fund acquisitions. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units. On March 16, 2023, the Trust issued 260,870 units with a value of $300,000 for the acquisition of properties. During the year 2023, the Trust also issued 6,000 units with a value of $6,900 for services rendered. As at December 31, 2023, 4,195,059 units with an issued value of $4,314,000 were issued and outstanding.

The Trust also has a unit options plan (“Options”). On March 16, 2023, the Trust granted 200,000 options to a trustee. As at December 31, 2023, 1,400,000 Options were outstanding.

The Trust also finances its acquisitions through debts. As at December 31, 2023, Margaux had mortgages and balances of sale of $1,763,652 and $500,000 respectively. Interest rates on those debts range between 5.0%-5.48%. Only one mortgage requires a monthly payment of $10,300 whereas the other debts require one annual payment.

On May 3, 2024, the Trust obtained an authorized line of credit of $350,000 which bears interest at the prime rate plus 0.5%. This line of credit will be used to finance acquisitions or pay debts.

On July 15, 2024, the Trust obtained a debt in the amount of $325,000 to cover the construction costs of a new building in Roxton Pond. The debt was blended with an existing debt which totals now $1,765,000. This new debt bears interest at 5.43% per year, matures on July 15, 2028 and is payable by monthly instalments of $12,450

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CORRECTION OF ERRORS

During the year, the Trust has determined that its previous acquisitions were more acquisitions of businesses rather than acquisitions of investment properties. The nature, depth and extent of the operations and acquired assets made management realized that the Trust acquired a business rather than an asset. The Trust has then adjusted the recording of its acquisitions by applying IFRS 3 "Business combinations". The Trust has also determined that the expected annual volatility used to calculate the Unit-based compensation expense was not representative with companies in the same line of business. The Trust has compared expected volatility of similar companies for which shares and options are traded and has concluded to change the percentage of volatility used in the financial statements. The Trust has changed the percentage of volatility from 5% to 28%. Furthermore management has determined that the Trust operations were more storage facility services rather than rental revenues from investment properties. The short maturity of service contracts, the almost non existent responsibility of users, the high turnover of users; these factors were more associated to service revenue rather than rental income. The Trust has then changed its accounting policies and applied IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" rather than IAS 40 "Investment property" to record and value the acquired property assets. The assets are now amortized over their estimated useful life.


This change and correction were applied retrospectively and the amounts of the year 2022 were restated. The balance of retained earnings as at January 1, 2022 has been increased by $427,740, representing the gain on bargain purchase of $600,000 reduced by acquisition costs of $9,440 charged to income and an increase of $162,820 of the unit-based compensation expense. The net loss of the year 2022 has been increased by $251,424 following the elimination of the gain on the fair value of investment properties of $171,560, the recording of acquisition costs as an expenses of $49,449, the recording of amortization of real estate and equipments of $57,806 and intangible assets of ($54,571) and the recording of additional expense of $27,180 of the unit-based compensation expense.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In preparing the Trust's consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, exercise judgments and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business combinations

Business combinations are recorded based on the acquisition method where assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed are measured at their fair value at the time of acquisition ("net assets"). If the consideration paid is greater than the fair value of net assets, the excess is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration paid is less, the difference is directly recorded to the statement of income and comprehensive income. Results of operation of an acquired business are included in the Trust's consolidated financial statements from the date of the business acquisition. Business acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred and disclosed as acquisition costs to the statement of income and comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition

The revenues from storage facility services include payments received from users under service contracts determined under IFRS 16 "Leases". The service contracts are on a month-to-month basis and can be terminated by the users without penalties or obligations upon vacating the storage room. Storage facility services revenue are recorded as per the service contracts and starts when the tenant has the right to use the rental spacing area. The non refundable deposits obtained at the signature of all new contracts are recorded similarly. Interest revenue are recorded when earned.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Interest rate risk. The interest rate risk, for which the Trust has an exposure, concerns its mortgages and sales price balance. These financial instruments with a fixed rate of interest expose the Trust to a fair value risk. The mortgages and the sales price balance have a fixed interest rate until maturity. This reduces the market rate volatility.

Liquidity risk. The Trust is exposed to the risk of being unable to honour its financial commitments by the deadlines set out under the terms of such commitments. Senior management manages the Trust's cash resources in accordance with the financial forecasts and anticipated cash flows.

Status of REIT. The Trust is required to comply with specific restrictions regarding its activities and the investments held by it in order to maintain its real estate investment trust status ("REIT"). Should the Trust cease to qualify as a REIT, the consequences could be material and adverse. As well, the Trust conducts its affairs in order to qualify as a REIT under applicable tax statutes so that it retains its status as a flowthrough vehicle for the particular year. Should the Trust not meet the conditions to qualify as a REIT in a particular year, it may be subject to tax similar to a corporation, which may have an adverse impact on it and its unitholders, on the value of the units and on its ability to undertake financings and acquisitions. This could also materially reduce its distributable cash. Management believes that it complies with the REIT rules.

Operating costs – property taxes. The Trust exercises control over its operating costs. However for the property taxes expense, the Trust is subject to rates and valuations of its properties done by government agencies. As at September 30, 2024, property taxes amount to $38,745 which represents 28.6% of its operating costs.

Competition. The Trust is constantly looking for acquisitions of self storage buildings. This industry has many players and competition is high. This situation could result in higher prices to pay for acquisitions,


to a point where the Trust could give up on acquisitions due to their expensive price. Competition also affects prices for rent charged to tenants to a point where the Trust could lose customers.

Economic conditions. Adverse economic conditions could affect the Trust. Its revenues could decrease, its financing costs increase due to market risk. The Trust tries to finance its acquisitions with fixed interest rate debts.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Acquisition costs include an amount of $15,000 paid to a company controlled by a trustee. Administrative expenses include an amount of $6,900 paid to a trustee for services rendered in exchange of Trust units. They also include amounts of $914 paid to companies controlled by trustees, $25,000 paid to a company with a common director as well as $27,210 paid to an individual, shareholder of a company that holds units. As at December 31, 2023, $6,898 was payable.

Financial expenses include an interest amount of $11,315 on a debt provided by a company that holds units of the Trust. They also include an interest amount of $22,500 on a debt provided by a company controlled by a unitholder. As at December 31, 2023, $50,715 was payable.

COMMITMENTS

On March 19, 2024, the Trust signed a non-binding letter of intent with Odessa Capital Ltd. ("Odessa") pursuant to which Margaux and Odessa intend to complete a reverse takeover transaction (the "Transaction"). Concurrently with the Transaction, Margaux intends to complete a non-brokered private placement offering between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 (the "Private Placement").

Pursuant to the proposed Transaction, each issued and outstanding common share of Odessa ("Common Shares") will be exchanged into units of Marguax ("REIT Units") on a 1:1 basis (following the Consolidation (defined below)). Additionally, following the Consolidation, it is expected that: (i) the outstanding agent's options will be exchanged for 125,000 replacement agent's options issued by Margaux with the same terms as the option exchanged therefor, and (ii) 116,667 unexercised incentive stock options of Odessa shall be exchanged for replacement options issued by Margaux with the same terms as the option exchanged therefor.

In connection with the Transaction, it is expected that the outstanding Common Shares and options of the Odessa will be consolidated on a 12:1 basis prior to the completion of the Transaction (the "Consolidation") and issuance of REIT Units.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 3, 2024, the Trust finalized with a financial institution a signed agreement dated December 27, 2023 and obtained an authorized line of credit of $350,000, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 0.50%. The line of credit is secured by a property and by a first rank mortgage of $750,000 on all moveable assets of a subsidiary of the Trust.

On July 15, 2024, the Trust obtained a debt in the amount of $325,000 to cover the construction costs of a new building in Roxton Pond. The debt was blended with an existing debt which totals now $1,765,000. This new debt bears interest at 5.43% per year, matures on July 15, 2028 and is payable by monthly instalments of $12,450.

On September 16, 2024, the Trust paid a mortgage of $295,000 and the interests thereon by issuing a note in the amount of $345,000 bearing interest at 5% per year. The holder of the note, who is a trustee, agreed to exchange the note, up to the amount of $300,000, to buy the same amount of units to be issued by the Trust through a private placement of convertible debentures and Trust units to be done before the end of the year.

With regards to a balance of sale in the amount of $200,000 owed to the seller of the Cowansville property, the Trust has proposed an arbitration to the seller, because there is 2 important claims against him. One being the violation of a non compete clause. This arbitration has been refused. It is now likely that the matter will go to court and according to our legal counsel, it could take many years before the matter be heard.

1. STATUTES AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Margaux real estate investment trust (the "Trust") is an unincorporated open-ended real estate investment trust formed on October 29, 2021 under the laws of the province of Quebec.

The Trust, through its subsidiaries, provides short-term storage facility services. Its head office is located at 180 chemin Des Patriotes Sud, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, J3H 5J3.

Storage facility services are the sole segment of operations of the Trust.

These consolidated interim financial statements were approved on December 19, 2024 by the Board of Trustees.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

The consolidated interim financial statements of Margaux real estate investment trust and its subsidiaries comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Basis of presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis except for the following items of the consolidated interim statement of financial position which are valued at fair value:

  • Unit-based compensation
  • Contingent payment liability

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Trust.

3. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

In preparing the Trust's consolidated interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates, exercise judgments and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The key judgments and major assumptions made by management in the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

Judgments

Nature of acquisitions

At the time of an acquisition, the Trust examines if the transaction represents a business combination or an acquisition of assets and liabilities. To determine if the Trust's acquisition represents a business combination rather than an asset acquisition, the Trust examines if it has purchased a business which consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. The factors the Trust considers are as follows:

1) Whether the Trust has acquired a single asset or group of assets;
2) Whether the Trust has taken on the management of personnel;
3) Whether the Trust has acquired an operational platform.

Acquisitions that represent business combinations are recorded in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations." Acquisitions that do not correspond to business combinations are recorded as acquisitions of assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair value.

Estimates

Real estate

The useful life and the residual value of the real estate are estimates and judgments made by the Trust.

Business combinations

To determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Trust uses valuation models like future cash flows and discount rates, that include estimates.

(in canadian dollars)

3. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)

Contingent payment liability

The Trust has estimated the future potential payment payable as well as the discount rate.

Unit-based compensation

The fair value of unit-based compensation recognized on the consolidated interim statement of financial position is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model as the fair value cannot be derived from active markets. The estimates used are the average expected life, the average expected annual volatility rate and the average risk-free interest rate.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Trust and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Trust exercises control. The Trust determines an existence of control when it has decision power over the subsidiary and has the ability to use this power to affect returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated interim financial statements from the date control arises.

Name Ownership
9451-8305 Québec Inc. 100%
Self Storage Drummond L.P. 100%
Cowansville Self Storage L.P. 100%
Alpha Roxton Pond L.P. 100%
16080022 Canada Inc. 100%

Business combinations

Business combinations are recorded based on the acquisition method where assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed are measured at their fair value at the time of acquisition ("net assets"). If the consideration paid is greater than the fair value of net assets, the excess is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration paid is less, the difference is directly recorded to the statement of income and comprehensive income. Results of operation of an acquired business are included in the Trust's consolidated financial statements from the date of the business acquisition. Business acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred and included as acquisition costs in the statement of income and comprehensive income.

Real estate and equipments

Real estate and equipments represent assets used to earn storage revenues. They are recorded at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful life. Historical cost includes all disbursements directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The method and rates of amortization is as follows:

Buildings Declining balance 4%
Leasehold improvements Declining balance 20%
Parking Declining balance 8%
Equipments Declining balance 20%

Subsequent costs incurred are capitalized to the asset's carrying value if the future economic benefits flow to the Trust and costs can be measured reliably. Amortization is taken when the asset is ready for use.

Buildings in construction are recorded at historical cost and are not amortized until they become ready for use.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with a determinate life are recorded at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful life. Historical cost includes all disbursements directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The method and rates of amortization is as follows:

Software Straight-line 3 years
Tenants' list Straight-line 3-10 years

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less from the date of acquisition are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Trust units

The Trust units are redeemable upon unitholders demand and are therefore puttable instruments that are considered as financial liabilities. However, they meet certain conditions under IAS 32 that allow puttable instruments to be presented as equity.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities

On initial recognition, all financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Subsequently they are measured following their classification.

Financial assets

For subsequent measurement, there are two measurement categories into which the Trust classifies its financial assets.

a) Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where they represent solely payments of principal and interest.
b) FVTPL (fair value through profit or loss): Assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost.

Cash, term deposit and other financial assets are classified as amortized cost.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. Interest expense from financial liabilities classified as amortized cost is included in financial expenses using the effective interest rate method.

Accounts payable, mortgages, sales price balance and note payable are classified as amortized cost.

Contingent payment liability is classified as FVTPL.

Fair value measurement

Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted price for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Trust can access at the measurement date. As at September 30, 2024, no asset and/or liability is valued upon level 1.

Level 2: This level includes measurements that use, either directly or indirectly, observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1. Assets and liabilities in this category are measured using models or other standard valuation techniques which use observable market data. As at September 30, 2024, no asset and/or liability is valued upon level 2.

Level 3: The measurements in this level depend upon inputs that are less observable, not available or for which observable inputs do not justify most of the assets and liabilities' fair value. As at September 30, 2024, the contingent payment liability and the unit-based compensation are valued upon level 3.

Revenue recognition

The revenues from storage facility services include payments received from users under service contracts determined under IFRS 16 "Leases". The service contracts are on a month-to-month basis and can be terminated by the users without penalties or obligations upon vacating the storage room. Storage facility services revenue are recorded monthly as per the service contracts and begin at the time the tenant is entitled to use the rental spacing area. The non-refundable deposits required at the signature of all new contracts are recorded as such. Interest revenue are recognized when earned.

Service contracts

The existing service contracts of the storage properties are considered as operating leases as the Trust substantially retains all risks and benefits of ownership of these properties.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Unit-based compensation

The Trust uses the fair value-based method of accounting for its unit-based compensation under which compensation expense is measured at fair value at the grant date and at the end of each reporting period. The Trust's units are redeemable at the option of the holder and, therefore, are classified as financial liabilities. The conditions under IAS 32 that allow certain puttable instruments to be presented as equity do not apply to unit-based compensation under IFRS 2. Accordingly, the unit-based compensation is measured at fair value and the change in the fair value is recognized to income.

As at September 30, 2024, the Trust has not acquired any businesses this year.

On March 16, 2023, the Trust acquired a real estate property located in the region of Roxton Pond (Qc) and a tenants' list of an aggregate fair value of $3,400,000 for a consideration of $3,110,000 including a contingent payment of $110,000 representing the actual value of a payment payable February 28, 2028. The gain on bargain purchase of $290,000 was recorded to income. As part of the transaction, the seller became owner of the Trust. The seller accepted this offer as he considers realizing its deferred gain when he sells his investment in the Trust. The transaction is subject to a potential payment based on the profitability of the operations of the first 5 years. The Trust estimated that it could pay a maximum amount of $200,000 in 5 years.

12. TRUST UNITS (continued)

The units options outstanding as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Expiry Date Exercise Price 2024 2023

September 7, 2032 1.05 - 500,000
Weighted average remaining life (years) 6.33 7,98

Unit-based compensation

The fair value of the options was estimated at the date the period using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the following assumptions:

September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Unit price ($) 1.20 1.15
Exercise price ($) 1.00 - 1.25 1.00 - 1.15
Expected distribution ($) 0.001 0.001
Risk-free interest rate (%) 2.73 - 2,88 3.10 - 3.29
Expected annual volatility (%) 28,00 28,00
Expected life (years) 4.53 - 7.94 6.21 - 8.67
Fair value of option 0.34 - 0.55 0.41 - 0.51

The expected annual volatility was derived from similar listed companies for which share price or option price information is available. The Trust used this approach as it has no historical information on its volatility since the units are not traded.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of cash, term deposit, other financial assets and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity.

The fair value of mortgages and sales price balance was estimated from current market rates of financial instruments with similar terms and maturity.

The fair value of the contingent payment liability has been estimated on projected future profits and market rates of financial instruments with similar terms and maturity.

The Trust's policy concerning hierarchy level transfers is that level transfers occur when, at closing date, fair value data used in valuation changes and when valuation techniques change.

The following table shows the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities as well as their fair value. It also shows their hierarchy level of valuation.

16. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Trust's capital management objectives are first to ensure the longevity of its capital so as to support continued operations, provide its unitholders with a return, maintain the most optimal capitalization possible with a view of keeping capital costs to a minimum.

The Trust's uses its capital for acquisitions, repayments of mortgages and other debts and projected payment of distributions to unitholders.

The Trust's capital components are as follows:

Capital September 30, December 31,
2024 2023
Mortgages 1 759 784 1 763 652
Sales price balance 500 000 500 000

17. RISK MANAGEMENT

Management of risks arising from financial instruments

In the normal course of business, the Trust is exposed to interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Trust manages these risk exposures on an ongoing basis. In order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on its expenses and cash flows, the Trust constantly follows the evolution of the market interest rate and consequently determines the composition of its debts.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk, for which the Trust has an exposure, concerns its mortgages and sales price balance. These financial instruments with a fixed-rate of interest expose the Trust to a fair value risk.

The mortgages and the sales price balance have a fixed interest rate until maturity. This reduces the market rate volatility risk.

Each change of 1% of the interest rates would have an impact of $25,548 on the financial expenses of the period.

Liquidity risk

The Trust is exposed to the risk of being unable to honour its financial commitments by the deadlines set out under the terms of such commitments. Senior management manages the Trust's cash resources in accordance with the financial forecasts and anticipated cash flows.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:

17. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Status of the REIT

The Trust is required to comply with specific restrictions regarding its activities and the investments held by it in order to maintain its real estate investment trust status ("REIT"). Should the Trust cease to qualify as a REIT, the consequences could be material and adverse. As well, the Trust conducts its affairs in order to qualify as a REIT under applicable tax statutes so that it retains its status as a flowthrough vehicle for the particular year. Should the Trust not meet the conditions to qualify as a REIT in a particular year, it may be subject to tax similar to a corporation, which may have an adverse impact on it and its unitholders, on the value of the units and on its ability to undertake financings and acquisitions. This could also materially reduce its distributable cash. Management believes that it complies with the REIT rules.

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Operating costs include an amount of $28,000 (2023 : $15,210) paid to a shareholder of a company that holds units. Administrative expenses include an amount $12,000 (2023 : $9,000) paid to a trustee or a company controlled by a trustee as well as $12,189 (2023 : $0) paid to a shareholder of a company that holds units. As at September 30, 2024, no amount was payable.

Financial expenses include an interest amount of $11,202 (2023: $11,070) on a debt granted by a company that holds units of the Trust. They also include an interest amount of $17,715 (2023: $15,658) on debts granted by companies controlled by unitholders. As at September 30, 2024, the amount payable was $22,010 (December 31, 2023: $50,715).

For the note payable of $337,622, a trustee of Margaux acted as an agent for the beneficiary of the note.

19. CONTINGENCY

Balance of sale under arbitration

With regards to the balance of sale in the amount of $200,000 owed to the seller of the Cowansville property, the Trust has proposed an arbitration to the seller because the Trust has two important claims against him. One being the violation of a non compete clause. This arbitration has been refused. It is now likely that the matter will go to court and according to our legal counsel, it could take many years before the matter is resolved.

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 25, 2024, the Trust obtained an increase of its credit facilities from $350,000 to $525,000 with the same terms.

Margaux is a real estate investment trust incorporated on October 29, 2021. The Trust through its subsidiaries owns and rents storage spacing As at September 30, 2024, the Trust had 3 buildings of self storage. The 3 buildings are located in the province of Quebec. These buildings, with between 50-90 self storage rooms, are leased on a month-to-month basis to corporate and individual customers. Despite a possibility of high turnover of customers, the buildings are almost continuously fully leased.

The Trust is constantly looking for acquisitions of self storage buildings with good cash flows. It privileges buildings where possible expansion can be realized. It plans to undertake construction expansion on the Drummondville property where 160 storage rooms will be added for a budgeted cost of $2,000,000.

MAJOR EVENT AND OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS

OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

The increase in rental income comes from the complete integration of the acquisition made on March 16, 2023 and the increase in price of storage rent. The operating costs have increased following the increase in property taxes, insurance and managing costs of the properties. The administrative expenses mainly include professional fees, debts interests, administrative costs and amortization of real estate and intangible assets. They have increased following higher administrative costs of $15,975, financial expenses of $6,600 and amortization expenses of $3,091.

Administrative expenses have increased due to higher professional fees incurred in the preparation of reviewed financial statements and documents in line with the reverse takeover transaction explained in the major event section above. The increase in financial expenses comes from interest paid on the additional financing obtained for the expansion construction on the Roxton Pond property, increase in bank charges paid on collection of rents and lower interest income on investments. The amortization expenses have increased proportionally with the date of the last acquisition.

OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD OF 9 MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

The increase in rental income comes from the complete integration of the acquisition made on March 16, 2023 and the increase in price of storage rent. The operating costs have increased following the increase in property taxes, insurance and managing costs of the properties. The administrative expenses mainly include professional fees, debts interests, amortization of real estate and intangible assets and lastly unit based compensation. They have decreased following the cancellation of unit options following the resignation of trustees. The cancellation of options has decreased expenses by an amount of $445,000 counterbalanced by higher administrative expenses of $24,869, financial expenses of $33,513 and amortization expenses of $12,281.

Administrative expenses have increased due to higher professional fees incurred in the preparation of reviewed financial statements and documents in line with the reverse takeover transaction explained in the major event section above. The increase in financial expenses comes from the interest paid on the additional debts contracted for the March 16, 2023 acquisition which has a full impact on the 2024 period numbers, interest paid on the additional financing obtained for the expansion construction on the Roxton Pond property, increase in bank charges paid on collection of rents and lower interest income on investments. The amortization expenses have increased proportionally with the date of the last acquisition.

The Trust’s storage income is sufficient to pay direct operating costs, administrative expenses and debts interests. Funds obtained from the operating activities include net storage income less expenses. The decrease in 2024 compared to 2023 is explained by higher operating costs, administrative and financial expenses as explained in the section “Operations for the period of 9 months”.
For 2024, the funds used in the investing activities represent cash paid on expansion of current properties. The Trust made no acquisition in 2024.
Funds obtained from the financing activities represent the additional financing of $325,000 explained before less the payments of debts related to previous acquisitions.
To the present, the acquisitions of properties are largely paid by the proceeds of past issuance of units of the Trust. For its future acquisitions, management intends to finance them with a larger portion of debts. For the expansion of current properties, the Trust will try to obtain additional financing as it was the case this year with the Roxton Pond property.
The Trust expects to be able to meet all its obligations as they become due. The Trust has sufficient liquidity provided by its cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities. The Trust considers that it has the ability to obtain funds from raising equity and debt when needed. It also considers that it has the ability to refinance or paid debts that mature.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The real estate business requires capital in order to fund acquisitions. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units. During the period of 9 months ended on September 30, 2024, the Trust issued no unit. As at September 30, 2024, 4,195,059 units with an issued value of $4,314,000 were issued and outstanding.
The Trust also has a unit options plan (“Options”). On May 19, 2024, the Trust cancelled 800,000 unit options following the resignation of trustees. The Trust recorded a negative expense of $445,000 to income under the account Unit-based compensation. During the period of 9 months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust granted 100,000 unit options with a fair value of $36,000. As at September 30, 2024, 700,000 Options were outstanding.
The Trust also finances its acquisitions through debts. As at September 30, 2024, Margaux had mortgages, balances of sale and note payable of $1,759,784, $500,000 and $337,622 respectively. Interest rates on those debts range between 5.0% - 5.48%. Only one mortgage requires a monthly payment of $12,450 whereas the other debts require one annual payment.
On May 3, 2024, the Trust obtained an authorized line of credit of $350,000 with a financial institution, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 0.50%. As at September 30, 2024, the line of credit has a balance of $0. The line of credit is secured by a property of a subsidiary of the Trust and by a first rank mortgage of $750,000 on all moveable assets of that subsidiary

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In preparing the Trust's consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, exercise judgments and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business combinations

Business combinations are recorded based on the acquisition method where assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed are measured at their fair value at the time of acquisition ("net assets"). If the consideration paid is greater than the fair value of net assets, the excess is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration paid is less, the difference is directly recorded to the statement of income and comprehensive income. Results of operation of an acquired business are included in the Trust's consolidated financial statements from the date of the business acquisition. Business acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred and included as acquisition costs in the statement of income and comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition

The revenues from storage facility services include payments received from users under service contracts determined under IFRS 16 "Leases". The service contracts are on a month-to-month basis and can be terminated by the users without penalties or obligations upon vacating the storage room. Storage facility services revenue are recorded as per the service contracts and starts when the tenant has the right to use the rental spacing area. The non refundable deposits obtained at the signature of all new contracts are recorded similarly. Interest revenue are recorded when earned.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Interest rate risk. The interest rate risk, for which the Trust has an exposure, concerns its mortgages and sales price balance. These financial instruments with a fixed rate of interest expose the Trust to a fair value risk. The mortgages and the sales price balance have a fixed interest rate until maturity. This reduces the market rate volatility.

Liquidity risk. The Trust is exposed to the risk of being unable to honour its financial commitments by the deadlines set out under the terms of such commitments. Senior management manages the Trust's cash resources in accordance with the financial forecasts and anticipated cash flows.

Status of REIT. The Trust is required to comply with specific restrictions regarding its activities and the investments held by it in order to maintain its real estate investment trust status ("REIT"). Should the Trust cease to qualify as a REIT, the consequences could be material and adverse. As well, the Trust conducts its affairs in order to qualify as a REIT under applicable tax statutes so that it retains its status as a flowthrough vehicle for the particular year. Should the Trust not meet the conditions to qualify as a REIT in a particular year, it may be subject to tax similar to a corporation, which may have an adverse impact on it and its unitholders, on the value of the units and on its ability to undertake financings and acquisitions. This could also materially reduce its distributable cash. Management believes that it complies with the REIT rules.

Operating costs – property taxes. The Trust exercises control over its operating costs. However for the property taxes expense, the Trust is subject to rates and valuations of its properties done by government agencies. As at September 30, 2024, property taxes amount to $38,745 which represents 28.6% of its operating costs.

Competition. The Trust is constantly looking for acquisitions of self storage buildings. This industry has many players and competition is high. This situation could result in higher prices to pay for acquisitions, to a point where the Trust could give up on acquisitions due to their expensive price. Competition also affects prices for rent charged to tenants to a point where the Trust could lose customers.

Economic conditions. Adverse economic conditions could affect the Trust. Its revenues could decrease, its financing costs increase due to market risk. The Trust tries to finance its acquisitions with fixed interest rate debts.


RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Operating costs include an amount of $28,000 (2023: $15,210) paid to an individual, shareholder of a company that holds units. Administrative expenses include an amount $12,000 (2023: $9,000) paid to a trustee or a company controlled by a trustee as well as $12,189 (2023: $0) paid to an individual, shareholder of a company that hold units. As at September 30, 2024, no amount was payable.

Financial expenses include an interest amount of $11,202 (2023: $11,070) on a debt provided by a company that holds units of the Trust. They also include an interest amount of $17,715 (2023: $15,658) on debts provided by companies controlled by unitholders. As at September 30, 2024, $22,010 (December 31, 2023: $50,715) was payable.

During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Trust granted 100,000 units options to an individual, shareholder of a company that holds units.

CONTIGENCY

With regards to the balance of sale in the amount of $200,000 owed to the seller of the Cowansville property, the Trust has proposed an arbitration to the seller because the Trust has two important claims against him. One being the violation of a non compete clause. This arbitration has been refused. It is now likely that the matter will go to court and according to our legal counsel, it could take many years before the matter is resolved.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 25, 2024, the Trust obtained an increase of its credit facilities from $350,000 to $525,000 with the same terms.

(b) any consolidation or change of the Common Shares at any time during the term of the Option into a lesser number of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise thereafter of the Option shall be reduced to such number of Common Shares as would have resulted from such consolidation or change if the exercise of the Option had been made prior to the date of such consolidation or change;

(c) any reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or change of the Common Shares into other shares, or in case of the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in a reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or in case of any transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation, subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, at any time during the term of the Option, the Optionee shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Option, the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, change, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was entitled upon exercise of the Option.

Adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this section shall occur. For greater certainty, the Optionee shall pay for the number of shares, other securities or property as aforesaid, the amount the Optionee would have paid if the Optionee had exercised the Option prior to the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, consolidation or change of the Common

16. Costs

Subject to Exchange Policies, disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price of an Option, or the extension of the term of an Option, if the Optionee is an Insider of the Corporation at the time of the proposed amendment. No such amendment or termination will, without the consent of an Optionee, alter or impair any rights which have accrued to him prior to the effective date thereof.

(c) This Plan, and any amendments thereto, shall be subject to acceptance and approval by the Exchange.

In lieu thereof, the Corporation will have the right to withhold from any cash amount due or to become due from the Corporation to the Optionee an amount equal to such taxes. The Corporation may also retain and withhold or the Optionee may elect, subject to approval by the Corporation at its sole discretion, to have the Corporation retain and withhold a number of Common Shares having a market value not less than the amount of such taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation

No Optionee shall have any of the rights of a unitholder of the Trust in respect to Units issuable on exercise of an Option until such Units shall have been paid for in full and issued by the Trust on exercise of the Option, pursuant to this Plan.

6. Units Subject to Options

The number of Units reserved for issuance to any one person pursuant to Options granted under this Plan and any other Security Based Compensation Plan of the Trust shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(b) the maximum number of Units issuable pursuant to all Security Based Compensation granted or issued in any 12-month period to any person (and where permitted under the Exchange Policies, any Companies that are wholly owned by that Person) must not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Units, calculated as at the date any Security Based Compensation is granted or issued to the Person, unless disinterested unitholder approval is obtained;

Appropriate adjustments shall be made as set forth in Section 15 hereof, in both the number of Units covered by individual grants and the total number of Units authorized to be issued hereunder, to give effect to any relevant changes in the capitalization of the Trust.

6446315.1


If any Option granted hereunder shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Units subject thereto shall again be available for the purpose of this Plan.

7. Option Agreement

A written agreement will be entered into between the Trust and each Optionee to whom an Option is granted hereunder, which agreement will set out the number of Units subject to option, the exercise price and any other terms and conditions approved by the Board of Trustees, all in accordance with the provisions of this Plan (herein referred to as the "Stock Option Agreement"). The Stock Option Agreement will be in such form as the Board of Trustees may from time to time approve, and may contain such terms as may be considered necessary in order that the Option will comply with any provisions respecting options in the income tax or other laws in force in any country or jurisdiction of which the Optionee may from time to time be a resident or citizen or the rules of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Trust.

8. Option Period and Exercise Price

Each Option and all rights thereunder shall be expressed to expire on the date set out in the respective Stock Option Agreement, which shall be the date of the expiry of the Option Period (the "Expiry Date"), which date shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, subject to earlier termination as provided in Sections 11 and 12 thereof.

Subject to Exchange Policies and any limitations imposed by any relevant regulatory authority, the exercise price of an Option granted under this Plan shall be as determined by the Board of Trustees when such Option is granted and shall be an amount at least equal to the Discounted Market Price of the Units.

Additionally, the exercise price of any options granted prior to the closing of the initial public offering of the Trust cannot be less than the lowest price at which any Units were issued by the Trust prior to the initial public offering.

9. Exercise of Options

An Optionee shall be entitled to exercise an Option granted to him at any time prior to the expiry of the Option Period, subject to Sections 11 and 12 thereof and to vesting limitations which may be imposed by the Board of Trustees at the time such Option is granted. Subject to Exchange Policies, including wither respect to the vesting of Options granted to any Investor Relations Service Provider, the Board of Trustees may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which an Option shall vest and the method of vesting, or that no vesting restriction shall exist.

The exercise of any Option will be conditional upon receipt by the Trust at its head office of a written notice of exercise, specifying the number of Units in respect of which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by cash payment, certified cheque or bank draft for the full purchase price of such Units with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

Units shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Units pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable securities law, including, without limitation, the 1933 Act, the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable U.S. state laws, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange or consolidated

6446315.1


stock price reporting system on which prices for the Units are quoted at any given time. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Trust may require, among other things, that the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Units are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Units if, in the opinion of counsel for the Trust, such a representation is required by law.

  1. Blackout Extension Period

If an Option is to expire during a period when the Optionee is prohibited by the Trust from exercising such Option or from trading in Units of the Trust pursuant to its applicable policies in respect of insider trading (a "Blackout Period"), the expiration date of such Option shall be extended for a period of ten (10) business days immediately following the end of the Blackout Period. This Section 10 applies to all Options outstanding under the Plan.

  1. Ceasing to be a Trustee, Officer, Employee or Consultant

If an Optionee ceases to be a trustee, officer, Employee or Consultant of the Trust or its subsidiaries for any reason other than death, the Option shall terminate on the date determined by the Board of Trustees which shall not be more than twelve (12) months from the date the Optionee ceases to be a trustee, officer, Employee or Consultant of the Trust or its subsidiaries.

  1. Death of Optionee

In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option previously granted to him shall be exercisable within one (1) year following the date of the death of the Optionee or prior to the expiry of the Option Period, whichever is earlier, and then only:

(a) by the person or persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under the Option shall pass by the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, or by the Optionee’s legal personal representative; and
(b) to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of the Optionee’s death.

  1. Optionee’s Rights Not Transferable

No right or interest of any Optionee in or under this Plan is assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise in any manner except by bequeath or the laws of descent and distribution, subject to the requirements of the Exchange, or as otherwise allowed by the Exchange.

Subject to the foregoing, the terms of this Plan shall bind the Trust and its successors and assigns, and each Optionee and his heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.

  1. Takeover or Change of Control

(a) The Trust shall have the power, in the event of:

(i) any disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust, or the dissolution, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Trust with or into any other trust or of such trust into the Trust, or

6446315.1


(ii) any change in control of the Trust,

to make such arrangements as it shall deem appropriate for the exercise of outstanding Options or continuance of outstanding Options, including without limitation, to amend any Stock Option Agreement to permit the exercise of any or all of the remaining Options prior to the completion of any such transaction. If the Trust shall exercise such power, the Option shall be deemed to have been amended to permit the exercise thereof in whole or in part by the Optionee at any time or from time to time as determined by the Trust prior to the completion of such transaction.

(b) In the event of the proposed acceleration pursuant to this Section 14 of the vesting requirements prescribed by the Exchange at Section 4.4(c) of Exchange Policy 4.4 for Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers, such acceleration of the prescribed vesting requirements shall not be permitted without prior Exchange approval.

15. Anti-Dilution of the Option

In the event of:

(a) any subdivision, redivision or change of the Units at any time during the term of the Option into a greater number of Units, the Trust shall deliver, at the time of any exercise thereafter of the Option, such number of Units as would have resulted from such subdivision, redivision or change if the exercise of the Option had been made prior to the date of such subdivision, redivision or change;

(b) any consolidation or change of the Units at any time during the term of the Option into a lesser number of Units, the number of Units deliverable by the Trust on any exercise thereafter of the Option shall be reduced to such number of Units as would have resulted from such consolidation or change if the exercise of the Option had been made prior to the date of such consolidation or change;

(c) any reclassification of the Units at any time outstanding or change of the Units into other units, or in case of the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Trust with or into any other Trust (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in a reclassification of the outstanding Units or a change of the Units into other units), or in case of any transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Trust as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another Trust, subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, at any time during the term of the Option, the Optionee shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Units to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Option, the kind and amount of units and other securities or property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, change, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the holder of the number of Units to which he was entitled upon exercise of the Option.

Adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this section shall occur. For greater certainty, the Optionee shall pay for the number of units, other securities or property as aforesaid, the amount the Optionee would have paid if the Optionee had exercised the Option prior to the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, consolidation or change of the Units or such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, as the case may be.

6446315.1

16. Costs

The Trust shall pay all costs of administering this Plan.

17. Termination and Amendment

(a) The Board of Trustees may amend or terminate this Plan or any outstanding Option granted hereunder at any time without the approval of the unitholders of the Trust or any Optionee whose Option is amended or terminated, in order to conform this Plan or such Option, as the case may be, to applicable law or regulation or the requirements of the Exchange or any relevant regulatory authority, whether or not such amendment or termination would affect any accrued rights, subject to the approval of the Exchange or such regulatory authority.

(b) The Board of Trustees may amend or terminate this Plan or any outstanding Option granted hereunder for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Section 17(a) hereof, subject to the approval of the Exchange or any relevant regulatory authority and the approval of the unitholders of the Trust if required by the Exchange or such regulatory authority. Subject to Exchange Policies, disinterested unitholder approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price of an Option, or the extension of the term of an Option, if the Optionee is an Insider of the Trust at the time of the proposed amendment. No such amendment or termination will, without the consent of an Optionee, alter or impair any rights which have accrued to him prior to the effective date thereof.

(c) This Plan, and any amendments thereto, shall be subject to acceptance and approval by the Exchange. Any Options granted prior to such approval and acceptance shall be conditional upon such approval and acceptance being given and no such Options may be exercised unless and until such approval and acceptance are given.

18. Withholding Tax

Upon exercise of an Option, the Optionee will, upon notification of the amount due and prior to or concurrently with the delivery of the certificates representing the Units, pay to the Trust amounts necessary to satisfy applicable withholding tax requirements or will otherwise make arrangements satisfactory to the Trust for such requirements. In order to implement this provision, the Trust or any related Trust will have the right to retain and withhold from any payment of cash or Units under the Plan the amount of taxes required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid in respect of such exercise. At its discretion, the Trust may require an Optionee receiving Units upon the exercise of an Option to reimburse the Trust for any such taxes required to be withheld by the Trust and withhold any distribution to the Optionee in whole or in part until the Trust is so reimbursed. In lieu thereof, the Trust will have the right to withhold from any cash amount due or to become due from the Trust to the Optionee an amount equal to such taxes. The Trust may also retain and withhold or the Optionee may elect, subject to approval by the Trust at its sole discretion, to have the Trust retain and withhold a number of Units having a market value not less than the amount of such taxes required to be withheld by the Trust to reimburse the Trust for any such taxes and cancel (in whole or in part) any such Units issuable upon exercise of an Option so withheld.

AUDIT COMMITTEE'S ROLE

The Audit Committee has the oversight role set out in this Charter. Management, the Board of Directors, the independent auditor and the internal auditor all play important roles in respect of compliance and the preparation and presentation of financial information. Management is responsible for compliance and the preparation of financial statements and periodic reports. Management is responsible for ensuring the Corporation's financial statements and disclosures are complete, accurate, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable laws. The Board of Directors in its oversight role is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities. The independent auditor, following the completion of its annual audit, opines on the presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

FUNDING FOR THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR AND RETENTION OF OTHER INDEPENDENT ADVISORS

The Corporation shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor for the purpose of issuing an audit report and to any advisors retained by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall also have the authority to retain such other independent advisors as it may from time to time deem necessary or advisable for its purposes and the payment of compensation therefor shall also be funded by the Corporation.

APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND REMITTED NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS

Over the course of any year there will be two levels of approvals that will be provided. The first is the existing annual Audit Committee approval of the audit engagement and identifiable permitted non-audit services for the coming year. The second is in-year Audit Committee pre-approvals of proposed audit and permitted non-audit services as they arise.

Any proposed audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the External Auditor to the Corporation or its subsidiaries must receive prior approval from the Audit Committee, in accordance with this protocol. The Chief Financial Officer shall act as the primary contact to receive and assess any proposed engagements from the External Auditor.

Following receipt and initial review for eligibility by the primary contacts, a proposal would then be forwarded to the Audit Committee for review and confirmation that a proposed engagement is permitted.

In the majority of such instances, proposals may be received and considered by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or such other member of the Audit Committee who may be delegated authority to approve audit and permitted non-audit services), for approval of the proposal on behalf of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee Chair will then inform the Audit Committee of any approvals granted at the next scheduled meeting.

MARGAUX REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
(Unaudited)

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Margaux Real Estate Investment Trust ("Margaux") is an unincorporated open-ended real estate trust formed on October 29, 2021 under the laws of the province of Quebec. Margaux is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Trust units.

The pro forma unaudited consolidated statement of financial position (the "Pro Forma Statement") must be read with the transactions detailed in the information circular, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Odessa Capital Ltd. ("Odessa") and the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Margaux as as September 30, 2024 and the accompanying notes of those financial statements included in the information circular.

Margaux Pro Forma Statement as at September 30, 2024 was prepared from the Margaux unaudited consolidated condensed interim statement of financial position as at September 30, 2024 and Odessa unaudited condensed interim statement of financial position as at September 30, 2024 as well as with the assumptions and adjustments detailed in note 3.

The substance of the proposed transaction is a transaction which results in Margaux becoming a listed public entity through the acquisition of Odessa. Therefore, these Pro Forma Statements present a continuation of Margaux's business.

The pro forma adjustments are provisory and are based on published financial information and certain assumptions and adjustments. The actual adjustments to the Margaux statement of financial position will depend on certain factors, including the financial performance of Margaux and Odessa between September 30, 2024 and the date of the transaction. Actual adjustments may differ from the adjustments reflected in this Pro Forma Statement.

Management considers that the assumptions and adjustments reasonably reflect all important aspects of the contemplated transactions and that the pro forma adjustments are justified in regard of these assumptions and appropriately applied in this Pro Forma Statement.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in preparing the Pro Forma Statement are set out in Odessa and Margaux audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. In preparing the Pro Forma Statement, a review was undertaken to identify accounting policy differences between Odessa and Margaux. Management believes that the significant accounting policies of the two companies are consistent in all material respects.

(Unaudited)

  1. PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

The Pro Forma Statement has been prepared as if the transactions and the following adjustments were realized on September 30, 2024 for the Pro Forma Statement.

3 Reverse takeover transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Odessa Share (except for those held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be transferred to Margaux in exchange for Margaux Units, in proportion to the number of Odessa Shares held by each Odessa Shareholder, at a ratio of one (1) Margaux Unit for each twelve (12) Odessa Shares. In addition, each Odessa Option (subject to the Consolidation Ratio) will be exchanged for a Margaux Option adjusting for the Consolidation Ratio, and each Odessa Agent Option (subject to the Consolidation Ratio) will be exchanged for one Margaux Agent Option. Odessa will amalgamate with Newco to form Amalco, which will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Margaux.

Considering that Odessa does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the acquisition of Odessa is considered an equity-settled share-based payment under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of units and options by Margaux for the net assets of Odessa and for obtaining a listing status. In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting:

a) The assets and liabilities of Margaux are included in the Pro Forma Statements at their carrying values and the net assets of Odessa are included at their fair value which is equal to the carrying value of the net assets given the current nature of the net assets. The difference between the estimated fair value of the Margaux deemed consideration transferred to Odessa shareholders less the fair value of the net assets acquired of Odessa is recorded as a listing expense.

The fair value of the net assets of Odessa acquired by Margaux is summarized as follows:

Amount ($)
Assets acquired
Other assets 26 362
Cash 1 485 070
Prepaid expenses 2 411
Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable (135 254)
Total net assets acquired 1 378 589
Consideration:
Fair value of 1,666,666 shares of Odessa 1 999 999
Fair value of 241,667 options of Odessa 19 333
Total consideration 2 019 332
Professional fees incurred in relation with the RTO 274 849
Excess consideration recorded as listing expense 915 592

The fair value of the shares of Odessa was based on the value per unit of the concurrent offering of $1.20 and the options of Odessa were assigned a fair value per option of $0.08 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: exercise price 1.20$, risk-free rate of 3.36%, expected volatility of 100% and expected life of 5 years.

b) An adjustment was recorded to reflect the consolidation of Odessa's common shares on a ratio of one new common share for the twelve old common shares (1:12 basis); and the exchange of all the issued and outstanding post consolidated common shares of Odessa for Trust units of Margaux. Margaux will issue 1,666,666 Trust units in exchange of the 1,666,666 consolidated common shares of Odessa.

An adjustment was recorded to reflect the consolidation of Odessa's share options ("Options") on a ratio of one new Options for the twelve old Options (1:12 basis); and the exchange of all the issued and outstanding post consolidated Options of Odessa for unit options of Margaux. Margaux will issue 241,667 unit options in exchange of the 241,667 consolidated Options of Odessa.

c) Offering

An adjustment was recorded to reflect Margaux issuance of $520,000 of convertible debentures and 400,000 Trust units at a unit price of $1.20 ($480,000) for a total consideration of $1,000,000. Expected issuance costs are negligeable as the placement is a non-brokered Private Placement.

The convertible debentures bear interest at 6.0% payable semi annually, maturing in 5 years, convertible into Trust units of Margaux at a price of $1.40 per Trust unit of Margaux. As Margaux's Trust units are redeemable upon unitholders demand, they are considered as financial liabilities. As a consequence, the convertible debentures have a derivative financial instruments component. At the date of issuance, a value of $494,000 and $26,000 was respectively recorded to the convertible debentures and the derivative financial instruments items.

d) Credit facilities and mortgage

Margaux has obtained an authorized line of credit of $350,000 with a financial institution, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 0.50%. As at September 30, 2024, the line of credit has not been used and has a balance of $0. In addition, Margaux has refinanced a mortgage and has obtained an additional $325,000, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 0.50%. The $325,000 has been used on expansion of properties.

  1. PRO FORMA TRUST UNITS

The Audit Committee shall meet as often as it determines, but not less frequently than quarterly. The Committee shall report to the Board of Directors on its activities after each of its meetings at which time minutes of the prior Committee meeting shall be tabled for the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee shall review and assess the adequacy of this Charter periodically and, where necessary, will recommend changes to the Board of Directors for its approval.

The Audit Committee is expected to establish and maintain free and open communication with management and the independent auditor and shall periodically meet separately with each of them.


SPECIFIC DUTIES

Oversight of the Independent Auditor

  • Make recommendations to the Board of Directors for the appointment and replacement of the independent auditor.

  • Authority to pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees, terms and conditions for the performance of such services) to be performed by the independent auditor.
  • Evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor, including: (i) reviewing and evaluating the lead partner on the independent auditor's engagement with the Corporation, and (ii) considering whether the auditor's quality controls are adequate and the provision of permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

AUDIT COMMITTEE'S ROLE

The Audit Committee has the oversight role set out in this Charter. Management, the Board of Directors, the independent auditor and the internal auditor all play important roles in respect of compliance and the preparation and presentation of financial information. Management is responsible for compliance and the preparation of financial statements and periodic reports. Management is responsible for ensuring the Corporation's financial statements and disclosures are complete, accurate, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable laws. The Board of Directors in its oversight role is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities. The independent auditor, following the completion of its annual audit, opines on the presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

FUNDING FOR THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR AND RETENTION OF OTHER INDEPENDENT ADVISORS

The Corporation shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor for the purpose of issuing an audit report and to any advisors retained by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall also have the authority to retain such other independent advisors as it may from time to time deem necessary or advisable for its purposes and the payment of compensation therefor shall also be funded by the Corporation.

APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND REMITTED NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS

Over the course of any year there will be two levels of approvals that will be provided. The first is the existing annual Audit Committee approval of the audit engagement and identifiable permitted non-audit services for the coming year. The second is in-year Audit Committee pre-approvals of proposed audit and permitted non-audit services as they arise.

Any proposed audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the External Auditor to the Corporation or its subsidiaries must receive prior approval from the Audit Committee, in accordance with this protocol. The Chief Financial Officer shall act as the primary contact to receive and assess any proposed engagements from the External Auditor.

Following receipt and initial review for eligibility by the primary contacts, a proposal would then be forwarded to the Audit Committee for review and confirmation that a proposed engagement is permitted.

In the majority of such instances, proposals may be received and considered by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or such other member of the Audit Committee who may be delegated authority to approve audit and permitted non-audit services), for approval of the proposal on behalf of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee Chair will then inform the Audit Committee of any approvals granted at the next scheduled meeting.

At such a meeting any business may be transacted which the Corporation at a meeting of shareholders may transact. If the meeting is held at a place outside Canada, shareholders not present or represented by proxy, but who have waived notice of or otherwise consented to such meeting, shall also be deemed to have consented to the meeting being held at such place.

A proxy is valid only at the meeting in respect of which it is given or any adjournment thereof.

10.15 TIME FOR DEPOSIT OF PROXIES

The board may specify in a notice calling a meeting of shareholders a time, not exceeding 48 hours excluding Saturdays and holidays, preceding the meeting or an adjournment thereof, before which time proxies to be used at such meeting must be deposited with the Corporation or its agent. A proxy shall be acted upon only if, prior to the time so specified, it shall have been deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof specified in such notice or, if no such time is specified in such notice, unless it has been received by the secretary of the Corporation or by the chairman of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.

10.16 JOINT SHAREHOLDERS

If two or more persons hold shares jointly, any one of them present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders may, in the absence of the other or others, vote the shares; but if two or more of those persons are present in person or represented by proxy and vote, they shall vote as one of the shares jointly held by them.

10.17 VOTES TO GOVERN

At any meeting of shareholders every question shall, unless otherwise required by the articles or by laws or by law, be determined by the majority of the votes cast on the question.

Subject to the provisions of the Act any question at a meeting of shareholders shall be decided by a show of hands unless a ballot thereon is required or demanded as hereinafter provided.

require or demand a ballot. A ballot so required or demanded shall be taken in such manner as the chairman shall direct. A requirement or demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot. If a ballot is taken each person present shall be entitled, in respect of the shares which he is entitled to vote at the meeting upon the question, to that number of votes provided by the Act or the articles, and the result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the said question.

10.20 ELECTRONIC VOTING

Despite section 10.18, any vote referred to in such section may be held in accordance with the regulations, if any, entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility, if the Corporation makes available such a communication facility.

10.22 RESOLUTION IN WRITING

A resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders unless a written statement with respect to the subject matter of the resolution is submitted by a director or the auditors in accordance with the Act.
