Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This material change report contains certain forward–looking information and statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information or statements. In particular, but without limiting the forgoing, this material change report contains statements concerning the anticipated use of the net proceeds of the Offering and the closing date of the Offering.

The intended use of the net proceeds of the Offering by Blackline might change if the board of directors of Blackline determines that it would be in the best interests of Blackline to deploy the proceeds for some other purpose and the closing date for the Offering may be changed. The forward-looking statements contained in this material change report are made as of the date hereof and Blackline undertakes no obligations to update publicly or revise any forward looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws. Readers should also carefully consider the matters discussed under the heading "Risk Factors " in the preliminary short form prospectus and in the annual information form of the Corporation dated June 3, 2021 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
