PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

DIRTT designs and manufactures adaptable, sustainable spaces where people work, learn and heal. Since 2004, DIRTT has grown to become a leader in industrialized construction providing a compelling alternative to conventional construction methods.

DIRTT’s construction system offers unrivaled speed, accuracy, and quality. Our product design and software platform, ICE® (“ICE” or “ICE Software”), simplifies preconstruction, production, and installation. These advantages provide our end users greater cost certainty and up to 30% shorter construction schedules compared to conventional construction methods.

DIRTT spaces are built for change and ready to adapt as needs evolve. Our design ensures components are interchangeable and can be repurposed for small updates or full reconfigurations without major renovation, cost, or waste.

Our approach to industrialized construction combines a portfolio of interior construction products with advanced digital tools. DIRTT’s first-of-its-kind software called ICE, serves as the engine for our industrialized construction system, enabling projects to be designed, visualized, organized, configured, priced, and manufactured off-site, with final assembly and installation completed at the job site. ICE empowers faster decision-making during design with real-time changes, visualization, and pricing information. ICE connects directly to DIRTT manufacturing facilities for end-to-end integration, precise manufacturing, production management, and coordination of the DIRTT scope. Our ICE Software is licensed to our Construction Partners (as defined herein), as well as other third-parties, including Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (“AWI”) which owns a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in certain intellectual property rights in a portion of the ICE Software that is used by AWI. In addition to the core ICE platform, our cloud-based virtual reality tool and app, called ICEreality, connects teams from anywhere in the world to walk through their virtual space together, while design changes can be made with real-time feedback on pricing.

We believe that our three strategic priorities, namely: a focus on cost-discipline, a continuous improvement philosophy, and a prudent and measured approach to capital investment will drive increased value creation for our employees, clients, Construction Partners, and shareholders.

We work with some of the most innovative clients, design teams, and construction professionals. We reach our clients through an internal sales team and international network of independent DIRTT Construction Partners (“Construction Partners” or “Partners”). Their DIRTT expertise makes them trusted professionals in their regions for pre-construction considerations, order, installation, and adaptation of interior spaces. DIRTT Construction Partners work with clients and construction teams, ensuring effective management and execution of the DIRTT scope on every project. Long term, they support reconfigurations, adaptations, and adjustments, continuously protecting our clients’ investments in DIRTT while ensuring their spaces stay relevant.

DIRTT was incorporated in Alberta, Canada, under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (“ABCA”) on March 4, 2003 and mostly recently amended and restated its articles on May 5, 2019. Our headquarters are located at 7303 30 Street SE, Calgary, Alberta, T2C 1N6, Canada, and our telephone number at that address is 403-723-5000. Our manufacturing facilities are in Calgary, Alberta and Savannah, Georgia.

We completed our initial public offering in Canada in November 2013 and listed our common shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) in October 2019. Our common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “DRT”. Effective October 12, 2023, DIRTT’s common shares ceased to trade on the Nasdaq. DIRTT’s common shares are quoted on the OTC markets on the “OTC Pink Tier” under the symbol “DRTTF.”

Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “its,” “the Company” or “DIRTT” mean DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and, where the context so requires, includes our subsidiaries.

Our Solutions

Our array of products and integrations give our clients the tools to create high-performing interiors that stay relevant into the future. Unlike conventional prefabricated products, our solutions do not have predetermined shapes, sizes, or configurations, empowering clients with design freedom to meet their needs. The core of our product philosophy is a construction system that uses a universal interface. By allowing interchangeable parts, DIRTT can maximize the life cycle for most of our products as well as the spaces they occupy. Committed to sustainability, we subscribe to non-obsolescence, where new DIRTT components work with DIRTT products that came before. Our solutions can be disassembled and reconfigured with minimal waste. With both design freedom and adaptability benefits, client spaces are tailored to their unique needs on day one and can be more easily reconfigured or adapted to stay relevant on day two and beyond.

Our solutions ("DIRTT Solutions") are typically able to address over 90% of an interior space. Components are manufactured in DIRTT facilities and shipped to site for installation. The following table provides a brief description of our primary solutions:

DIRTT Solution Description
Solid Walls DIRTT’s solid walls offer extensive options with 4”, 6”, and 2” furring wall offerings. Solid walls connect seamlessly to other products in the DIRTT construction system and enable unique finishes, colors, and configurations. Wall cavities support electric, network, and technology integrations.
Glass Walls DIRTT’s glass walls are available as double pane, classic center-mount, or the slimmer Inspire™ profiles. DIRTT glass walls can accommodate base building variance and acoustic requirements while remaining aesthetically pleasing.

In addition to our core product offering, DIRTT enables integrations with technology, custom graphics, writable surfaces, and Breathe® Living Walls. Further product information can be found on dirtt.com.

Sustainability and Environmental Matters

DIRTT aims to minimize the environmental impact of interior construction through careful material selection, efficient operations, a system designed for future adaptability, and long product lifecycles. We work with clients to understand their unique sustainability goals and identify how building with DIRTT can support LEED, WELL, Living Building Challenge, and other green building standards they may be targeting. Our sustainability team helps to calculate various elements of the DIRTT scope that support certification.

DIRTT’s agile construction system makes it quick, easy, and cost effective to evolve interior spaces through future reconfigurations and relocations, while reducing waste compared to conventional construction and demolition. Our agile system is designed for disassembly to reduce the carbon footprint of new construction and future changes. We further reduce waste through efficient manufacturing and pre-assembled solutions.

We regularly evaluate the environmental impact of our materials, considering impact on the wellness of the occupants using the spaces we build and life cycles of the products we make. DIRTT endeavors to use materials with high recycled content, bio-based content, and low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Most DIRTT assemblies are certified through Science Certification Systems (SCS) Indoor Advantage Gold, recognizing their low-emitting properties. DIRTT wall panel and casework facilities are certified to handle materials with FSC® certification (FSC-C006900), ensuring FSC certified products may be specified.

We recognize the vital importance of reducing embodied carbon within DIRTT products. Our environmentally conscious production facilities are regularly evaluated by cross-functional teams who assess and implement energy efficiency strategies. For example, to further reduce our operational carbon footprint, DIRTT’s U.S. and Canadian factories are powered by renewable energy through our purchase of Green-e® and Direct Energy certified renewable energy credits (RECs). We further reduce the impact of our operations with recycling and waste diversion programs.

DIRTT releases an annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report outlining our commitments to sustainability and the environment. It also provides disclosure of our current environmental and sustainability impacts. DIRTT has set goals to reduce landfill waste by the end of 2025 and to source or produce renewable energy to cover 100% of our factory operations.

Further information about DIRTT’s sustainability practices can be found at dirtt.com/sustainability.

Construction Partners and Sales Network

We primarily sell DIRTT Solutions through a network of Construction Partners working in conjunction with local DIRTT sales representatives, as well as internal DIRTT industry specialists, business development professionals and a dedicated Construction Partner support team. Construction Partners and local sales representatives are located in cities throughout the United States and Canada, with additional locations in Saudi Arabia, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Singapore. The use of a dispersed network of Construction Partners greatly enhances our ability to drive awareness of the DIRTT brand and understanding of our approach to construction throughout our markets.

As part of our distribution agreements, our Construction Partners are typically required to invest in their own DIRTT Experience Center (“DXC”) so that they are able to effectively showcase DIRTT Solutions. These DXCs are showrooms that provide mock-ups of DIRTT Solutions and related product offerings. DIRTT independently maintains DXCs in Calgary and Chicago.

Our Construction Partners operate under agreements that outline sales goals and marketing territories which are generally non-exclusive. We expect our Construction Partners to build regional DIRTT-dedicated teams and to use our ICE Software in the sales process. In addition to sales and marketing, our Construction Partners provide value throughout the construction process. At the pre-construction stage, Construction Partners provide design assistance services to the architect and designer; throughout the construction process, Construction Partners act as a specialty subcontractor to the general contractor and provide installation and other construction services. Post-move in, Construction Partners provide warranty work, ongoing maintenance and reconfiguring support. Local DIRTT sales representatives work closely with the Construction Partners throughout the process to ensure successful project implementation and the highest client satisfaction. Construction Partners generally place orders for DIRTT Solutions directly with us and pay us directly for such orders.

At December 31, 2024, we had a total of 71 Construction Partners and 39 sales representatives across North America. We are not dependent on any one Construction Partner or sales representative.

Strategic accounts are a cornerstone in our strategy to drive long-term sustainable and predictable growth. These types of clients manage large real estate footprints in numerous locations. For these clients, it is advantageous and important to establish consistency in design and execution, repeatability, and speed to market. While these relationships can take time to develop, once they are established, the time and resources required to execute additional projects is reduced, which we believe will create profitable, predictable revenue streams. In return, clients benefit from a single point of accountability at DIRTT, a strong network of partners, full lifecycle support from established design standards and pre-construction expert support for their architects, designers and general contractors from field work to post installation support.

In 2024, we launched an additional go-to-market channel called Integrated Solutions. This team provides sales, design, estimating, and project delivery services with our DIRTT Construction Partners and DIRTT sales representatives. Integrated Solutions increases our sales network’s capacity as well as targets revenues in channels without existing coverage. There are three key opportunity areas Integrated Solutions is focusing on; diversifying our customer profile, increasing volumes in smaller markets, and expanding into new sectors. Through these efforts, Integrated Solutions aims to simplify our go-to-market strategy and increase access to DIRTT’s portfolio of products.

Manufacturing and Properties

Our DIRTT Solutions are currently manufactured at our facilities in Calgary, Alberta (the “Calgary Facility”) and Savannah, Georgia (the “Savannah Facility”). In 2023, we announced our intention to permanently close our facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina (the “Rock Hill Facility”) because the Calgary and Savannah Facilities can meet current demands with annual production capacity of $400 million in revenue. Currently our wall surfaces (which we call panels), casework and timber solutions are manufactured in Calgary, while aluminum, glass and power components are manufactured in Calgary and Savannah. Through distributed manufacturing, we can shift production of some components among our manufacturing sites, reduce transportation times and costs, and meet targeted lead times.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

Our inventory balances consist primarily of raw materials, which are kept on hand as components of our custom manufacturing process. Managing our raw material inventory is essential to our business, given our short lead times from order to shipment and our high level of order customization. Our key manufacturing materials are aluminum, hardware, wood and glass. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, aluminum accounted for approximately 35% of our purchased materials, while wood, hardware and finishing powder & paint accounted for approximately 11%, 9%, and 11%, respectively. While we maintain multiple suppliers for key materials, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, (i) one supplier accounted for approximately 65% of our aluminum supply and two additional suppliers provided 21% and 9%, respectively, (ii) two suppliers accounted for approximately 64% and 25% of our wood supply, respectively, (iii) one supplier accounted for 100% of our paint and (iv) one supplier accounted for approximately 50% of our hardware supply.

Materials are sourced domestically and, to a much lesser extent, overseas. Approximately 92% of our materials are manufactured and purchased in North America. Purchase decisions are made on the basis of quality, cost, and ability to meet delivery requirements. We do not typically enter into long-term agreements with suppliers. In general, adequate supplies of raw materials are available to all our operations, but we continue to be impacted by inflationary price pressures across substantially all of our raw material requirements and aluminum purchases may be subject to market capacity constraints. Additionally, the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers may further affect the pricing of our raw materials.

Technology and Development

We continue to focus on developing client-centric innovations and enhancements of both ICE Software and DIRTT Solutions with a primary focus on improving client experience, increasing market penetration and growing key markets. At December 31, 2024, we employed 73 employees within our technology and development groups and, including capitalized amounts, invested $7.6 million, $8.3 million and $10.3 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in innovation activities.

On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Partial Patent Assignment Agreement and a Co-Ownership Agreement (collectively, the “AWI Agreements”) with AWI. The AWI Agreements provide for the partial assignment to AWI and co-ownership of an undivided 50% interest in certain intellectual property rights (including related patents) in a portion of the Company’s ICE software that is used by AWI (the “Applicable ICE Code”), in exchange for a cash payment of $10.0 million. As part of the AWI Agreements, the Company provided AWI a transfer of knowledge concerning the Applicable ICE Code in exchange for an additional $1 million which was received in the fourth quarter of 2023. Under the AWI Agreements, the Company and AWI will have separate exclusive fields of use and certain restrictive covenants with respect to the Applicable ICE Code and related intellectual property rights, each of which survive until either party elects to separate its relationship from the other and for a period of five years thereafter.

Clients

DIRTT’s principal geographic markets are the United States and Canada. Our revenue is derived almost entirely from projects in North America sold by our North American Construction Partners.

Our revenue opportunities primarily come from commercial projects, including both new construction projects and renovations of existing buildings. Clients range from small owner-managed businesses to multinational Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, financial services, government and military, manufacturing, non-profit, energy, professional services, retail, technology, and hospitality. We view DIRTT Solutions as generally industry agnostic, with applications in many different industries with minimal adjustments. We are not dependent on any one client or industry segment. In 2024 and 2022, no single Construction Partner represented more than 10% of our revenue, while one client represented more than 10% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Competition

The overall market for interior construction is fragmented and highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the interior construction industry include price (including cost certainty), speed, quality, customization, and service. Our main competitors are comprised primarily of conventional construction firms, individual tradespeople (including framers, drywall installers, and interior product designers) and modular systems manufacturers. Additionally, conventional construction firms are beginning to develop customizable wall paneling and other interior construction solutions and may directly compete with our DIRTT Solutions. We also compete with commercial furniture manufacturers, such as Teknion Corporation, Haworth Inc., Allsteel Inc. and Steelcase Canada Ltd., who offer a variety of prefabricated interior wall solutions. We expect competition to increase as new entrants or solutions enter the interior construction market. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors".

Seasonality

The construction industry has also historically experienced seasonal slowdowns related to winter weather conditions and holiday schedules, which affect shipping and on-site installation dates, in the first quarter of each calendar year. Our business has generally, but not always, followed this trend with a slight time lag, leading to stronger sales in the second half of the year versus the first half. Weather factors can also influence third-party exterior construction schedules and site conditions, which may in turn affect timing of interior builds.

Due to the fixed nature of certain manufacturing costs, such as our facilities leases and related indirect operating costs, periods of higher revenue volume tend to generate higher gross profit and operating income margins, while periods of lower volume tend to result in lower gross profit and operating income margins. Quarters that contain consistent monthly manufacturing volumes tend to generate higher gross profit than those where manufacturing levels vary significantly from month to month.

Patent and Intellectual Property Rights

Our success depends, in part, upon our intellectual property rights relating to our products, production processes, our technology, including our ICE Software, and other operations. We rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, as well as patent, copyright and trademark laws, to protect our proprietary rights and competitive advantage. We register our patents and trademarks as we deem appropriate and take measures to defend patents where we deem others are infringing on our patents. The following table presents the status as of December 31, 2024, of our issued and pending patents relating to various aspects of DIRTT Solutions and ICE Software:

Jurisdiction Granted Patents Applications Pending
Canada 80 27
United States 131 17
Europe (EU Designs and European Patent Office) 32 3
France 5 -
Germany 5 -
Great Britain (UK) 22 -
Singapore 8 -
Total 283 47

Our issued patents expire between 2025 and 2040. We do not believe that the expiration of any individual patent will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. As we develop innovations and new technology,


we expect to file additional and supplemental patents to protect our rights in those innovations and new technology. As described in more detail above, AWI owns a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in the Applicable ICE Code, including a 50% interest in a portion of the patent rights that relate to the Applicable ICE Code.

Government Regulations

The operation of our business is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety, and the environment. As an owner or operator of various manufacturing facilities, we must comply with these laws and regulations at the federal, state, provincial and local levels in both the United States and Canada. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions, including the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of investigative or remedial requirements, or the issuance of orders limiting current or future operations. Certain environmental statutes impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean up and restore sites where hazardous substances or industrial wastes have been mismanaged or otherwise released.

While we do not believe that compliance with federal, state, provincial, or local environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations, we cannot provide any assurances that future events, such as changes in existing laws or regulations, the promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the development or discovery of new facts or conditions related to our operations, will not cause us to incur significant costs.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

We may be involved from time to time in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, and other legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, including matters involving our products, intellectual property, relationships with suppliers, relationships with Construction Partners, relationships with competitors, employees, and other matters. We may, for example, be a party to various litigation matters that involve product liability, tort liability, and claims under other allegations, including claims from our employees either individually or collectively. We do not believe that any current claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. For additional information regarding our current legal proceedings, see Item 3. "Legal Proceedings."

Human Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2024, DIRTT employed 847 employees, 99% full time, 1% part time. We had 842 full-time employees consisting of 564 employees in production, 79 employees in sales and marketing, 73 employees in technology and development, 67 employees in operations support, and 64 general and administrative employees. At year-end, approximately 46% of our workforce are salaried employees and approximately 54% are compensated on an hourly basis. As at December 31, 2024, approximately 23% of our workforce was based in the United States, and approximately 77% was based in Canada. Our 2024 hiring efforts were directed towards both our manufacturing and non-manufacturing functions.

Workplace Values and Equal Employment Opportunity

DIRTT recognizes the importance of attracting and retaining a talented, multifaceted workforce and fostering a sense of belonging within the organization. We value our employees for what they bring to our organization, including by embracing those from all backgrounds and experiences, and we seek to foster a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered. To support these values and objectives, we offer employees voluntary opportunities to participate in various learning streams and mentoring circles. We are committed to principles of equal employment opportunity and make hiring and other employment-related decisions based on merit, talent, skill, capability needs, and fit.

Culture & Engagement

DIRTT has put measures in place to assess and enhance the level of engagement and satisfaction of our employees. Specific activities include the deployment of a performance management tool catered to drive discussions around team goals, performance and development opportunities, and greater transparency around policy and procedures tied to cost and risk mitigation.

In 2024, we conducted an employee engagement survey through a platform called Employee Voice which focused on core themes of workplace civility, work-life balance, retention and job satisfaction. We had an 84% participation rate in our engagement survey. Targeted initiatives are being put in place to assess the progression of themes from the survey on overall employee engagement and experience.

11


Additional initiatives related to the progression of a strong workplace culture and active employee engagement include learning and development opportunities, enhanced communication platforms, employee recognition programs, a company-wide philanthropic organization, and a strong focus on virtual social events to further support engagement and connection of remote employees.

Connecting to our community is a critical piece of the DIRTT story. We continue to focus on establishing a stronger community investment program that demonstrates our drive to put community at the center of the business. This involves developing a strategy, carving out a roadmap of initiatives, and establishing a committee of employees across the organization. As part of our strategy, we are focusing our efforts on establishing meaningful engagement opportunities, creating inclusive giving campaigns, driving sustainable impact, and enabling our employees to connect on philanthropic efforts. In 2024, we launched our Hearts & Hands employee volunteer program which aims to foster a sense of community by encouraging employees to give back to society while building stronger connections with their colleagues. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we successfully completed our holiday giving campaign which was a coordinated in-person and virtual effort in support of food banks across North America, focusing on the cities in which we operate. The support for this campaign helped to reconnect DIRTT employees' desire to give back with tangible outcomes for their communities.

Our core commitment to organizational safety resulted in a Total Recordable Incident Frequency (TRIF) of 0.82 in 2024, more than 80% below the industry average.

We use a range of compensation incentives which vary by role, including annual variable compensation determined based on a combination of achieving team objectives and financial targets for the Company; quarterly bonuses for our manufacturing personnel paid on adherence to targets related to safety, quality, delivery, inventory and productivity; and commissions based on sales. We also use various forms of stock-based compensation as a retention tool and to further align employee interests with the interests of our shareholders. We monitor our retention by way of voluntary turnover, which was 11% in 2024.

None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We have never experienced labor-related work stoppages or strikes, and we believe we currently have a positive relationship with our employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Part II, Item 7. entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and in any documents incorporated in this Annual Report by reference, before deciding whether to invest in our common shares. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Although we have discussed all known material risks, the risks described below are not the only ones that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Certain statements below are forward-looking statements. See also "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Annual Report.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in educating potential clients about the benefits of our innovative and unique approach to interior construction as compared to conventional interior construction methods.

We operate in the highly competitive interior construction industry that is constantly developing and changing. We compete against conventional construction firms, individual tradespeople, modular systems, and commercial furniture manufacturers. New market entrants and conventional construction firms are also beginning to develop customizable wall paneling and other modular interior construction solutions, and we expect this trend to continue. In addition, we may face pricing pressure from competitors or new market entrants who take on projects at reduced prices or employ other competitive strategies. While we believe our innovative design, quality, schedule and cost certainty, and network of Construction Partners makes us well-positioned in the market, increasing competition could make it difficult to secure new projects at acceptable operating margins.

Our products are unique and offer an alternative to conventional construction techniques. Although offsite construction methods are gaining market acceptance, this still represents only a fraction of all construction methods and the overall construction market. Our ability to grow and increase market share depends, in part, on our success in continuing to increase demand for modular construction methods and products as an alternative to more traditional construction methods. While we intend to follow a strategy of innovative product development and strategic marketing efforts to enhance our position, there is no assurance that our solutions will attain a degree of market acceptance sufficient for sustained profitable operations. Failure to compete effectively by, among other things, meeting consumer preferences, developing and marketing innovative solutions, maintaining strong client service and distribution relationships, growing market share, and expanding our solutions capabilities could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our co-founders' and former executives' competitive behavior against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our co-founders and former executives, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, have started an interior construction and manufacturing company that we believe competes with us. They, along with a number of our former employees and Construction Partners who have joined their company, have in-depth knowledge about our business, including our customers, employees, products and prospects, and we may be adversely affected by increased competition arising out of this business venture. We are engaged in litigation with Messrs. Smed and Loberg, entities with which they are involved, and other individuals relating to, among other things, enforcement of non-competition and non-solicitation obligations, and alleged misappropriation of proprietary information by them or by us. If Messrs. Smed and Loberg further engage in a competitive business against us or if we are not successful in litigation, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings."

We depend heavily on our network of Construction Partners, and the loss or inattention of our Construction Partners, or the failure of our Construction Partners to meet their obligations to us, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently do not engage in many direct sales projects and rely almost exclusively on our network of Construction Partners to promote brand awareness, sell and market DIRTT Solutions, and provide design, installation, distribution and other services to clients on each project. While we are not dependent on any single Construction Partner, sales generated by approximately 10% of our Construction Partners comprised approximately 34% of our total revenues for 2024 (2023 - 37%) with one Construction Partner making up approximately 9% of total revenues (2023 - 12%). The loss of any top performing Construction Partners, particularly to our competitors, may negatively affect our sales, financial condition or results of operations. It may further impair our ability to maintain a market presence in a particular geographic region until a new Construction Partner relationship is established, which would require significant time and resources, given DIRTT is typically a standalone line of business in their portfolio.

Although we provide our Construction Partners with training, education, and support, they may be unable to successfully sell our DIRTT Solutions, execute projects or manage client experiences and relationships. In addition, our Construction Partners and their

13


clients may face financial difficulties or may become insolvent, which could result in the delay or cancellation of their plans to purchase DIRTT Solutions or lead to our inability to obtain payment of accounts receivable that they may owe. If we are unable to maintain a successful Construction Partner network, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The management team is working on a transformation plan, we may not be able to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of this transformation plan.

Our Board of Directors was entirely reconstituted at our annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2022 and, since that meeting, there has been significant turnover in the Company’s leadership. In addition to overseeing the changes to DIRTT’s leadership, the reconstituted Board of Directors has undertaken an extensive review of DIRTT’s operations, a process which is still ongoing (see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Outlook”).

In response, the management team is working on a transforming plan to advance the business and grow revenue and manage profitability. Implementation of this transformation plan will require robust and reliable systems and processes across the organization. There is also no assurance that successful implementation will lead to sustainable, profitable growth, and may itself be disruptive to the Company. Failure to implement our transformation plan could materially and adversely affect our near-term sales, commercial activities, and ability to develop and sustain profitable growth. In addition, the success and timing of our implementation may be dependent upon external factors outside of our control.

Our strategy also depends in part on our ability to maintain and manage growth effectively. Growth in our headcount and operations may place significant demands on our management and operational and financial resources. Additionally, managing growth of our operations and personnel requires continuous improvement of our internal controls and reporting systems and procedures. Failure to effectively manage growth could result in difficulty providing current DIRTT Solutions and introducing future solutions, difficulty in securing clients and Construction Partners, declines in quality or client satisfaction, increases in costs or other operational difficulties. Any of these difficulties could lead to a loss of investor confidence and adversely affect our business performance, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain elements of DIRTT’s administrative systems may not be effective.

DIRTT has identified the need to upgrade its inventory management and cost accounting systems at some point in the future to enable scalable growth, and other information technology investments may be required in the future. The Company is currently unable to estimate the costs and timeline related to such upgrades. However, the success, in whole or in part, of such investments cannot be guaranteed. If the Company does not successfully or timely upgrade its inventory management and cost accounting systems, it may experience unforeseen challenges to its inventory and pricing strategies.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters and conservation measures may adversely impact our or our customers’ business.

Societal expectations on companies to address, environmental and social impacts and investor, regulatory and societal expectations regarding voluntary and mandatory ESG-related disclosures may result in increased costs, reduced demand for our customers’ products, reduced profits, increased investigations and litigation, negative impacts on our stock price and reduced access to capital markets.

14


Moreover, while we may publish voluntary disclosures from time to time, certain statements in those voluntary disclosures may be based on expectations, assumptions and hypothetical scenarios that may or may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs associated therewith. Mandatory ESG-related disclosure is also emerging as an area where we may be, or may become, subject to required disclosures in certain jurisdictions, and any such mandatory disclosures may similarly necessitate the use of hypothetical, projected or estimated data, some of which is not controlled by us and is inherently subject to imprecision. Disclosures reliant upon such expectations, assumptions and hypothetical scenarios are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved and the lack of an established single approach to identifying, measuring and reporting on many ESG matters. Further, we have announced various voluntary ESG targets in our annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report outlining our commitments to sustainability, the environment, health and safety, and social initiatives, which are often aspirational. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet such voluntary targets in the manner or on such a timeline as initially contemplated, including, but not limited to, any unforeseen costs, changes to relevant accounting methodologies or technical difficulties associated with achieving such results. Any actual or perceived failure to meet our ESG targets could adversely impact our reputation and our customers' image of our products and result in the loss of business or impede our growth initiatives. Adverse publicity regarding ESG issues and similar matters, whether or not justified, could have a negative impact on our reputation and may result in the loss of customers and our inability to secure new customer relationships. Further, our customers may be more selective for products that meet their ESG goals or standards, such as increasing demand for goods that result in lower emissions, and our products could be less competitive if we are unable to meet these standards. Despite our efforts to adapt to and address these concerns, our efforts may be insufficient. Additionally, the implementation of these initiatives may increase our costs. It is difficult to predict how our efforts with respect to social and sustainability matters will be evaluated by current and prospective investors or by our customers or business partners. Despite our voluntary actions, we may receive pressure from certain investors, lenders, or other groups to adopt more aggressive ESG-related goals or policies, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to pursue or implement such goals because of potential costs or technical or operational obstacles.

Furthermore, our reputation, as well as our stakeholder relationships, could be adversely impacted as a result of stakeholder perceptions of statements made by us, our employees and executives, agents, or other third parties or public pressures from investors or policy groups to change our policies. Certain statements with respect to ESG matters are becoming increasingly subject to heightened scrutiny from public and governmental authorities related to the risk of potential "greenwashing," i.e., misleading information or false claims overstating potential ESG benefits. For example, the SEC has recently taken enforcement actions against companies for ESG-related misconduct, including greenwashing. The SEC, various state agencies, non-governmental organizations and other private actors have also filed lawsuits under various securities and consumer protection laws alleging that certain ESG statements, goals or standards were misleading, false or otherwise deceptive. Additionally, certain employment practices and social initiatives are the subject of scrutiny by both proponents and detractors of such policies, including by government actors, and the complex regulatory and legal frameworks applicable to such initiatives continue to evolve. We cannot be certain of the impact of such regulatory, legal and other developments on our business. Recent political developments in the U.S. may result in increased criticism or litigation risks, including from U.S. governmental agencies. These sentiments may focus on the Company's environmental commitments (such as reducing GHG emissions), its pursuit of certain employment practices or its social initiatives that are alleged to be political or polarizing in nature or are alleged to violate laws based, in part, on changing priorities of, or interpretations by, federal agencies or state governments. Consideration of ESG-related factors in the Company's decision-making could be subject to increased scrutiny and objection from such anti-ESG parties. As a result, we may face increased litigation risks from private parties and governmental authorities related to our ESG efforts. Moreover, any alleged claims of greenwashing against us or others in our industry may lead to negative sentiment. To the extent that we are unable to respond timely and appropriately to any negative publicity, our reputation could be harmed. Damage to our overall reputation could have a negative impact on our financial results and require additional resources to rebuild our reputation. Additionally, to the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, we may not be able to compete as effectively to recruit or retain employees, which may adversely affect our operations. Such ESG matters may also impact our customers, which may result in reduced demand for certain of our products and services.

As a result of amendments to the Competition Act (Canada), certain public representations by a business regarding the benefits of the work it is doing to protect or restore the environment or mitigate the environmental and ecological causes or effects of climate change may violate the Competition Act (Canada)'s deceptive marketing practices provisions. These amendments include substantial financial penalties and, effective June 20, 2025, a private right of action which will permit private parties to seek an order from the Competition Tribunal under the deceptive marketing practices provisions. Uncertainty surrounding the interpretation and enforcement of this legislation may expose the Company to increased litigation and financial penalties, the outcome and impacts of which can be difficult to assess or quantify and may have a material adverse effect on DIRTT's business, reputation, financial condition, and results.

Risks Relating to Our Products and Software

We are subject to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and commodities, which could adversely affect our liquidity, operating margins and financial condition.

We purchase raw materials, including aluminum, glass, and wood, from a number of local and global suppliers. The costs of these commodities can fluctuate due to changes in global supply and demand, inflation, speculation in commodities futures, and the imposition of any new, or changes in existing, tariffs, embargoes or other trade barriers, which can also interrupt supply. In addition, we have not historically entered into long-term agreements with vendors and may be exposed to short-term and long-term price fluctuations as a result.

Aluminum represents the largest component of our raw materials consumption. We have experienced fluctuations in the price of aluminum and anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. In particular, during 2021 through 2023, we experienced significant price inflation across substantially all of our materials, largely due to pandemic-induced supply chain constraints. From time to time, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum and limited the amounts of steel and aluminum coming into the United States based on the countries of origin of those imports. In 2024, we sourced the majority of our aluminum from North America and sourced under 10% of our raw materials from outside North America. Nonetheless, substantial, prolonged upward trends in aluminum and other commodity prices, along with tariffs and import limitations, could significantly increase our costs and adversely affect our liquidity, operating margins, and financial condition. In particular, additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, and any potential retaliatory measures, may affect us and our suppliers, including on the costs of raw materials and pricing of our solutions. See also “—New and existing trade policies, tariffs or import/export regulations imposed by the U.S., Canada or other foreign governments may adversely affect our ability to source and sell our products profitably, or at all.”

We rely on a limited number of outside suppliers for certain key components and materials, and failure or delay in obtaining the necessary components or materials could delay or prevent the manufacturing or distribution of our DIRTT Solutions.

We rely on certain key suppliers for raw materials and components, including aluminum, glass, wood, paint, and hardware. We maintain multiple suppliers for key materials, although for the year ended December 31, 2024, (i) one supplier accounted for approximately 65% of our aluminum supply and two additional suppliers provided approximately 21% and 9%, respectively (ii) two suppliers accounted for approximately 64% and 25% of our wood supply, (iii) one supplier accounted for 100% of our paint, and (iv) one supplier accounted for approximately 50% of our hardware supply.

While we believe there are other vendors for most of our key requirements, certain materials and components meeting our quality standards are available only through a limited number of vendors. If we are required to obtain another source for these materials or components, we may not be able to obtain pricing on as favorable terms or on terms comparable to our competitors. Any failure or delay in obtaining the necessary raw materials or components in the quantities and quality required may result in increased costs and delays in manufacturing or distributing our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations. A vendor may also choose, subject to existing contracts, to modify its relationship with us due to general economic concerns or specific concerns relating to that vendor or us, at any time. These modifications might include additional requirements from our suppliers that we provide them additional security in the form of prepayments or with letters of credit. Any significant change in the terms that we have with our key suppliers could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

We may be unsuccessful in designing, introducing, or selling new solutions, solution features, or software, which also may cause us to become less competitive.

As our competitors and others develop new technologies in the future, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage if we fail to keep pace with technological advancements within our industry. Our future success depends in part on our continuing ability to promote and demonstrate the value of DIRTT Solutions, as well as our ability to develop and sell new solutions, solution features, or software that differentiate our solutions and achieve market acceptance in a timely and cost-effective manner. We incur significant costs associated with our research and development that may not result in increased revenue or demand for DIRTT Solutions and that could negatively affect our results of operations. Rapidly changing technology, evolving regulatory and industry standards, and changing consumer trends, demands, and requirements require us to continuously innovate and develop new, high-quality solutions, solutions features and software. Additionally, such rapid technological changes, standards and preferences could render the complex and proprietary technology of our software and solutions obsolete. We may not be able to implement new technologies on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. New solutions, solution features, or software may also be less successful than we anticipated, and such offerings may fail to achieve market acceptance. If we fail to respond quickly and cost-effectively to a changing market and changing consumer preferences, our competitive position, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Outside of the ongoing evaluation of new construction market sectors, we are considering various partnerships that aide into the advancement and development of the construction industry. This includes diversifying our current prefabricated offerings, aligning with sourcing companies, and establishing initiatives with other companies embracing the mindset of change. While these actions strengthen our stakes in the prefabrication market, we may be unsuccessful in generating revenue through these initiatives.

16


Our software and products may have design defects, deficiencies, or other unknown risks, and we may incur additional costs to fix any such defects, deficiencies, or other risks, or be subject to warranty or product liability claims.

Our software and solutions are complex and must meet both the technical requirements of our clients and applicable building codes and regulations. Our solutions may contain undetected errors or design and manufacturing defects, and our software may experience quality or reliability problems, or contain bugs or other defects. Software defects may also cause errors in our manufacturing or miscalculations in ordering and pricing, which could lead us to incur losses and perhaps lose market share to competitors. Product or software defects could cause us to incur warranty costs, product liability costs, and repair and remediation costs. Although we maintain warranty reserves based on production, historical claims, and estimates, future warranty claims may exceed our reserves. Similarly, while we maintain insurance of the types and amounts we consider commercially prudent in view of industry practice, such insurance coverage may not be sufficient to protect us against substantial claims. Such claims could be expensive to defend, could divert resources, including the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods, and regardless of the ultimate outcome could result in negative publicity. Increased costs to address product warranty claims or to defend against product liability claims, may result in increased expenses and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Relating to Market Conditions

New and existing trade policies, tariffs or import/export regulations imposed by the U.S., Canada or other foreign governments may adversely affect our ability to source and sell our products profitability, or at all.

On February 1, 2025, the U.S. government announced a 25% tariff on product imports from certain countries, including Mexico and Canada, and 10% tariffs on product imports from certain other countries, including China. These actions have resulted in, and may result in additional retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. Specifically, the Canadian federal government imposed similar tariffs on U.S. goods imported into Canada in response to the U.S.'s imposition of tariffs.

Further, on February 10, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order imposing 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imported into the U.S. These tariffs are proposed to become effective March 12, 2025 and would be in addition to any other tariffs on such imported goods. DIRTT imports raw materials from, and has manufacturing facilities in, both Canada and the U.S. Accordingly, while the extent and duration of any tariffs imposed by the U.S. or Canada, and the resulting impact on our business, are difficult to predict at this time, such tariffs may affect our ability to import raw materials and sell our products profitably. The imposition of trade barriers, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, safeguards, and customs restrictions between Canada and the U.S., may increase the cost or reduce the supply of materials and products available to us, increase shipping times, affect our customers' construction needs or budgets, affect the demand for our products or our product mix or require us to modify our supply chain organization, manufacturing facilities, or other current business practices, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Global economic, political and social conditions and financial markets, such as geopolitical conflict or the imposition of tariffs by the U.S., may impact our ability to do business and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our industry is cyclical and highly sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. Overall declines or reductions in construction and renovation due to economic downturns, unemployment and office vacancies, changing return-to-office trends, difficulties in the financial services sector and credit markets, and imposition of tariffs, embargoes or other trade barriers can impact the demand for our products. Financial difficulties experienced by our suppliers, Construction Partners or clients could also result in, among other things, inadequate project financing, project delays, inability to pay accounts receivable or disruptions in our supply chain. Political uncertainty surrounding trade or other international disputes could also have a negative impact on customer confidence, inflation, interest rates and the economy in general. Any general economic, political, or social conditions that may contribute to financial difficulties experienced by us, our suppliers, Construction Partners, or clients may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to currency exchange rates, interest rates, tax rates, and other fluctuations, including those resulting from changes in laws.

Our revenues and expenses are collected and paid in different currencies, including the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar. Fluctuations in the relative values of any such currency expose us to foreign exchange risk and could have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows, revenues and results of operations. We also have currency exchange exposure to the extent of a mismatch between foreign-currency denominated revenues and expenditures – in particular, where U.S. dollar revenues do not equal U.S. dollar expenditures. We are not currently using exchange rate derivatives to manage currency exchange rate risks. There are currently no significant restrictions on the repatriation of capital and distribution of earnings to foreign entities from any of the jurisdictions in which we operate. There can be no assurance that such restrictions will not be imposed in the future.

Most of DIRTT's debt is on fixed interest rates. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility (as defined below) is subject to market interest rates. We are not currently using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risks. If interest rates rise, this could have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows, revenues and results of operations and may adversely affect our ability to access financing. We are currently undrawn on our Fourth Extended RBC Facility.

17


Compliance with new or amended tax laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. We base our tax positions upon our understanding of the tax laws (including, applicable tax treaties) of the countries in which we have assets or conduct business activities. However, our tax positions are subject to review and possible challenges by taxing authorities, including as to the computation and allocation of income, transfer pricing and other complex issues. This includes adverse changes to the manner in which Canada, the United States and other countries tax local and foreign corporations and interpret or change their tax laws and applicable tax treaties, including in light of the increased focus by the U.S. Congress, the Canadian government, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and other government agencies in jurisdictions where we do business on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. We cannot determine in advance the extent to which such jurisdictions may amend their tax laws, review our tax positions, or assess additional taxes or interest and penalties on such taxes. In addition, our effective tax rate may be increased by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, our cash management strategies, local tax rates, or interpretations of tax laws.

Risks Relating to Intellectual Property and Information Security

We may be unable to maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, and we may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of others.

We rely on a combination of contract, copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and other measures to protect our intellectual property. There is no guarantee that our various contractual rights, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets will offer sufficient protection of our products and services or prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights in our products, software or processes. We also may not be granted patents, copyrights registrations or trademark registrations on our pending or proposed applications, and granted applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented in the future. Despite our best efforts to maintain and enforce our intellectual property, monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly, and the steps we have taken may not be sufficient to effectively prevent third parties from infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to use information that we regard as proprietary to create products or services that compete with ours. We enforce our intellectual property rights where appropriate, but the cost of doing so may be substantial and could outweigh the potential benefits, and we may be unsuccessful in our enforcement efforts. Failure to protect or maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property could adversely affect our ability to sell original products and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, our competitors or other third parties may own, or claim to own, intellectual property in technology areas relating to our technology, including ICE Software, manufacturing processes, and DIRTT Solutions. Although we do not believe that our software or DIRTT Solutions infringe or misappropriate the proprietary rights of any third parties, litigation related to such claims, whether or not meritorious, may subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from assembling certain of our products or licensing certain of our intellectual property, subject us to injunctions restricting our sale of products or services, cause severe disruptions to our operations or the marketplaces in which we compete, or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our clients, including contractual provisions under various license arrangements. A damages award against us could include an award of royalties or lost profits and, if a court finds willful infringement, treble damages and attorneys' fees. This may cause us to expend significant costs and resources, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If we are unable to protect our information technology systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted and our reputation and profitability could be negatively affected.

In the ordinary course of our business, we generate, collect and store confidential and proprietary information, including intellectual property, business information, and other proprietary information. The secure storage, maintenance, and transmission of, and access to, this information is important to our operations and reputation. We use automated software and hardware solutions to protect our on-premise and cloud infrastructure; conduct routine third-party evaluations and vulnerability testing to identify and mitigate risks; and deploy employee training programs throughout the company. Although we have experienced cyber-based attacks, to our knowledge, we have not experienced any material disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems or platforms. However, there is no guarantee that our security systems, or processes or procedures designed to protect our information technology systems are adequate to safeguard against all cybersecurity risks or human error. Any security breach involving the misuse, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information of a client, Construction Partner, employee, supplier or Company information could result in financial losses, exposure to litigation and liability (including regulatory liability), damage to our reputation, and disruption to our operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. While we maintain commercially prudent cybersecurity insurance consistent with industry practice, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all losses relating to data loss or an information security breach.

The regulatory environment related to information security, data collection and use, and privacy is complex and continuously evolving and compliance with laws, rules, regulations or other requirements could result in additional costs. The costs associated with information security, such as increased investment in technology, the costs of compliance with privacy laws, and costs incurred to prevent or remediate information security breaches, could be substantial and adversely affect our business. A significant compromise

18


of sensitive employee, Construction Partner, client or supplier data in our possession could result in legal damages and regulatory penalties. In addition, the costs of defending actions, responding to complaints, or remediating breaches could be material.

Damage to our information technology and software systems could impair our ability to effectively provide DIRTT Solutions and adversely affect our reputation, relationships with clients, financial condition or results of operations.

Our information technology and software networks and systems, which include the processing, transmission and storage of information, are integrated with our manufacturing processes are essential to our business operations. These systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage or interruption from power outages, network failures or natural disasters, loss or corruption of data, human error, employee misconduct and difficulties associated with upgrades, installations of major software or hardware, and integration with new systems. While we maintain retention backups to geo-diverse digital and physical locations and have a recovery data center, the data center and other protective measures we take could prove to be inadequate. Any disruption in our systems or unauthorized disclosure of information could result in delayed manufacturing and delivery of our DIRTT Solutions, legal claims, a loss of intellectual property and a disruption in operations, all of which could adversely affect our reputation, relationships with clients, financial condition or results of operations.

Our core intellectual property in the ICE Code is jointly owned with a third party, who may fail to comply with its contractual obligations to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.

AWI owns a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in certain intellectual property rights in the Applicable ICE Code, including a 50% interest in the patent rights that relate to the Applicable ICE Code. As part of AWI’s purchase of the Applicable ICE Code, AWI must comply with contractual obligations designed to protect the Applicable ICE Code from infringement, misappropriation, misuse or exposure to unauthorized third parties. However, despite our efforts to monitor AWI’s actions, we may not become aware of AWI’s failure to comply with its obligations or we may not have adequate time to address such failure before there are adverse impacts to our business. Additionally, even if we attempt to require AWI to comply with its obligations to enforce our intellectual property rights, AWI may refuse or may not take adequate steps to do so. AWI’s failure to protect or maintain the proprietary nature of the Applicable ICE Code could adversely affect our ability to sell original products or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

AWI may fail to meet certain security and non-disclosure obligations designed to prevent our competitors or other unauthorized third parties from accessing the Applicable ICE Code. Despite our efforts to enforce our rights and monitor any inadequacies, we may not have access to AWI’s internal security or business practices. Additionally, we may not be successful in preventing AWI from exposing the source code of the Applicable ICE Code to third parties or in protecting our intellectual property rights in the Applicable ICE Code. Any unauthorized access to the Applicable ICE Code in AWI’s possession could substantially and adversely affect our business or competitive advantage and management may have to expend significant time and resources to address unauthorized access and disclosure, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Relating to Government Regulations and Enforcement

We may incur significant costs complying with environmental, health and safety laws and related claims, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose us to significant liabilities, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are, and may become, subject to laws, regulations, and other requirements with respect to workers’ health and safety and environmental matters in the United States, Canada and other countries in which we may operate. Environmental laws and regulations impose, among other things, restrictions, liabilities and obligations in connection with the production, processing, preparation, handling, storage, transportation, disposal and management of wastes and other substances, and the prevention and remediation of environmental effects. Health and safety laws and regulations impose, among other things, requirements designed to ensure the protection of workers. New or more stringent laws and regulations, including those relating to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, may be adopted in the future and could impact our facilities, raw material suppliers, the transportation and distribution of our solutions, and our clients, which could reduce demand for our solutions or cause us to incur additional operating costs. In addition, certain foreign laws and regulations may affect our ability to export products outside of, or import products into, the United States or Canada. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in civil or criminal liability, damages and fines, and our operations could be curtailed, suspended or shutdown and our reputation, ability to attract employees, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Private lawsuits, including claims for remediation of contamination, personal injury or property damage, or actions by regional, national, state and local regulatory agencies, including enforcement or cost-recovery actions, may materially increase our costs.

19


These factors may materially increase the amount we must invest to bring our processes into compliance with legal requirements and impose additional expenses on our operations. In addition, any changes in these laws or regulations or changes in our manufacturing processes may require us to request changes to our existing permits or obtain new permits. We may also be unable to obtain or maintain, from time to time, all required environmental regulatory approvals. A delay in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approvals or the failure to obtain and comply with such approvals could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Financial Results

We have had negative cash flow from operating activities.

We had negative cash flow from operating activities for prior years, including the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Continued negative operating cash flow may compromise our ability to make interest and principal payments on the issued and outstanding 6.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due January 31, 2026 (the "January Debentures") and the issued and outstanding 6.25% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due December 31, 2026 (the "December Debentures", and collectively with the January Debentures, the "Debentures") on a timely basis, or at all, and to execute our transformation plan. Until we are able to generate positive cash flow from operating activities over a sustained period, our ability to finance our operations will be dependent on our cash reserves and available credit facilities and, if required, our ability to obtain additional external financing. Although we had $7.3 million and $14.8 million in cash provided from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and we anticipate we will have positive cash flow from operating activities over at least the next twelve months, we cannot guarantee that such future cash flow will be sufficient, or other changes to our circumstances will not necessitate additional financial resources to fund our operating activities.

We have undertaken various actions to improve our cash flow and balance sheet in the short term, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources". Although we anticipate these actions will strengthen our balance sheet and liquidity position, we cannot guarantee that such future cash flow will be sufficient or other changes to our circumstances will not necessitate additional financial resources to fund our operating activities.

We have experienced a history of losses, and despite certain periods of profitability in recent years, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability.

We have incurred significant losses since commencing business. We incurred net losses after tax of $14.6 million and $55.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we have net income after tax of $14.8 million, but still have an accumulated deficit of $166.1 million. These losses and accumulated deficits were due in part to the substantial investments made to grow our business and acquire clients, to further develop our service offerings through product and software development, to ensure that we have sufficient production capacity and capability to deliver on our commitment of rapid delivery times and to preserve our production, innovation and commercial capabilities through the economic disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic in anticipation of an increase in construction activity as the pandemic impacts abated. Past results may not be indicative of our future performance, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to generate net income in the future.

We have experienced, and may experience in the future, quarterly and yearly fluctuations in results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations and financial condition may continue to fluctuate from one quarter or year to another due to a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. For example, we usually experience seasonal slowdowns in the first quarter of each calendar year, leading to stronger sales in the second half of the year versus the first half, and weather conditions may also delay delivery and installation on some projects. Furthermore, sales that we anticipate in one quarter may be pushed into another quarter, affecting both quarters' results, and our actual or projected results of operations may fail to match our past performance. These events could in turn cause the market price of our common shares to fluctuate. In particular, if our results of operations do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, who may derive their expectations by extrapolating data from recent historical results of operations, the market price of our common shares will likely decline. Due to our high fixed manufacturing costs and operating expenses, quarterly volatility in sales volumes could result in periods of low operating cash flow and negatively affect our liquidity. Due to these risk factors, quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year comparisons of our results of operations may not be an indicator of future performance.

20


We have recognized, and may recognize in the future, impairment charges for our goodwill and certain other non-current assets.

Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, planned or unexpected significant changes in the use of the assets, and sustained market capitalization declines may result in the impairment of non-current assets. In 2022, we had an indicator of impairment for our non-current assets. In 2023, we announced our intention to close the Rock Hill Facility, which resulted in an impairment charge on the reclassification of assets held for use to assets held for sale. As at December 31, 2024, we did not have any impairment indicators for our non-current assets. Any further charges relating to impairments could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the impairment is recognized.

Risks Related to Our Common Shares and Corporate Structure

Our share price has been and may continue to be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

Our common shares are listed on the TSX under the symbol “DRT” and are quoted on the OTC’s Pink Tier under the symbol “DRTTF.” The price of our common shares has in the past fluctuated significantly, and may fluctuate significantly in the future, depending upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and may adversely affect the market price of our common shares. These factors include: (i) variations in quarterly results of operations; (ii) deviations in our earnings from publicly disclosed forward-looking guidance; (iii) changes in earnings estimates by analysts; (iv) our announcements or our competitors’ announcements of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; (v) general conditions in the offsite construction and manufacturing industries; (vi) sales of our common shares by our significant shareholders; (vii) fluctuations in stock market price and volume; and (viii) other general economic conditions. Additionally, the Shares NCIB and the Share Repurchase from NGEN (each as defined herein) and any other common share repurchase we may complete in the future, may further decrease the number of outstanding common shares, which could decrease liquidity in the market of the common shares and increase the volatility of its trading price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the trading price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has been brought against that company. If our share price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation in both the United States and Canada. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from our business and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our common shares are quoted on the OTC’s Pink Tier, and there may be a limited trading market in the Company’s common shares in the United States. As a result of the limited trading market, investors may experience limited liquidity, and may experience limited ability to sell shares in the open market.

Our common shares are quoted on the OTC’s Pink Tier under the symbol “DRTTF.” There may be a limited trading market in the Company’s common shares in the United States. As a result of the limited trading market of our common shares, investors in our common shares may experience limited demand for their common shares, which may limit their ability to sell their shares in the open market.

We are governed by the corporate laws of Alberta, Canada, which in some cases have a different effect on shareholders than the corporate laws of the United States.

We are governed by the ABCA and other relevant laws, which may affect the rights of shareholders differently than those of a company governed by the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction, and may, together with our charter documents, have the effect of delaying, deterring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or may affect the price an acquiring party would be willing to offer in such an instance. The material differences between the ABCA and Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), that may have the greatest such effect include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) for certain extraordinary corporate transactions (such as amalgamations or amendments to our articles), the ABCA generally requires the voting threshold to be a special resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution, whereas DGCL generally only requires a majority vote; and (ii) under the ABCA, registered holders or beneficial owners (as defined in the ABCA) of not less than 5% of our common shares in aggregate can requisition our directors to call a special meeting of shareholders, whereas such right does not exist under the DGCL. We cannot predict whether investors will find our company and our common shares less attractive because we are governed by the corporate laws of Alberta, Canada.

21


Our two largest shareholders, 22NW and WWT, are able to exercise voting influence over matters which may require shareholder approval due to their ownership of our common shares, and their interests may conflict with or differ from the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, the Amended and Restated SRP and the Support Agreement limit the concentration of ownership of our common shares by shareholders other than 22NW and WWT, which may make it more difficult for a shareholder to acquire the Company.

As of November 5, 2024, 22NW Fund, L.P. ("22NW") and Aron English (collectively, the "22NW Group") and WWT Opportunity #1 LLC ("WWT") and Shaun Noll (collectively, the "WWT Group") owned 29.7% and 27.6% of our outstanding common shares, respectively, together beneficially owning approximately 57.3% of our outstanding common shares. So long as the 22NW Group and WWT Group and their respective affiliates continue to directly or indirectly own a significant amount of our common shares, they will, in certain circumstances, have voting influence over matters requiring shareholder approval, including amendments to our amended and restated articles of amalgamation, and approval of significant corporate transactions (barring any requirement for such shareholder to recuse itself from any such vote pursuant to applicable securities law, corporate law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchanges). Further, Aron English and Shaun Noll, who serve as the investment manager and Managing Member of the 22NW Group and WWT Group, respectively, also serve as directors on the Company's Board of Directors. This could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company, and would make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these shareholders.

In addition, the Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan, effective August 2, 2024 (the "Amended and Restated SRP"), which was ratified by shareholders at a special meeting held on September 20, 2024, was adopted by the Board in order to help ensure that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly and equally in connection with any unsolicited take-over bid or other acquisition of control of the Company. The Amended and Restated SRP may discourage, delay, or prevent a change of control or acquisition of the Company, even if such action may be considered beneficial by some shareholders, and could limit the price that investors would be willing to pay in the future for the Company's common shares.

Because we are a corporation incorporated in Alberta and some of our directors and officers are residents of Canada, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce civil liabilities against us or our directors and officers based solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States. Similarly, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to enforce civil liabilities against our directors and officers residing outside of Canada.

We are a corporation amalgamated and existing under the laws of Alberta with our principal place of business in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Some of our directors and officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of our assets and those of such persons are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts: (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or blue sky laws of any state within the United States or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or blue sky laws.

Similarly, some of our directors and officers are residents of countries other than Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to initiate a lawsuit within Canada against these non-Canadian residents. In addition, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to collect from these non-Canadian residents judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult for Canadian investors to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States, based solely on violations of federal, provincial or territorial securities laws.

The repurchase and cancellation of our Debentures in 2024 could adversely affect the price or liquidity of the Debentures.

On March 22, 2024, the Company completed a substantial issuer bid ("Issuer Bid") in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$4.7 million of the January Debentures and C$5.8 million of the principal balance of the December Debentures.

On August 2, 2024, the Company purchased for cancellation an aggregate of C$18,915,000 principal amount of the January Debentures and C$13,638,000 principal amount of the December Debentures from 22NW (the "Debenture Repurchase"). Following the Issuer Bid and Debenture Repurchase, C$16,642,000 principal amount of the January Debentures and C$15,587,000 principal amount of the December Debentures remained outstanding and 22NW no longer held any debentures.

On August 26, 2024, the Company announced a normal course issuer bid for the January Debentures and December Debentures (the "Debentures NCIB"). For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, C$0.3 million and C$0.01 million principal amounts of the December Debentures and January Debentures, respectively, were acquired and cancelled.

22


The Issuer Bid, the Debenture Repurchase, and the Debentures NCIB have decreased, and the Debentures NCIB may further decrease, the number of outstanding Debentures, which could decrease liquidity in the market of the Debentures and increase the volatility of the prices at which they trade. Repurchases of Debentures may also cause the prices of the Debentures to differ from what they would be in the absence of such repurchase. There can be no assurance any such repurchases will ultimately enhance shareholder value.

General Risks

Difficulties in recruiting and retaining qualified officers or employees, or experiencing labor shortages or disruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to attract, develop, and retain qualified personnel as needed. We have undergone significant changes at a senior management level during recent years. Any changes to members of our senior management may be disruptive to our operations, including by diverting our Board of Directors' and management's time and attention and a decline in employee morale. If there are any delays in transitions, our business could be negatively impacted. We may be affected by labor shortages or disruptions, particularly in locations where we operate manufacturing facilities. If we fail to attract or retain qualified personnel, or experience labor shortages or disruptions, we could incur higher recruiting expenses, a loss of manufacturing capabilities, or inability to respond to significant increases in demand, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may have additional capital needs in the future and may not be able to obtain additional capital or financing on acceptable terms.

We plan to continually invest in business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business opportunities, such as expanding our sales and marketing activities, developing new software, acquiring complementary businesses, products or technology, and expanding or enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, including factory automation. To the extent that our existing capital is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may need to undertake equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities may result in significant share dilution. Additional new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our currently issued and outstanding common shares. Additional debt financings may involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. We cannot provide any assurance that sufficient debt or equity financing will be available for necessary or desirable expenditures or acquisitions, or to cover losses, and accordingly, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

We may engage in future mergers, acquisitions, agreements, consolidations, or other corporate transactions that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While we currently have no specific plans to acquire any businesses, we may, in the future, seek to expand our business and capabilities through acquiring compatible technology, products or businesses. Additionally, we may explore other corporate transactions, including mergers, agreements, consolidations, or joint ventures, that we believe may be beneficial to our business or further specific business goals. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, (i) difficulty integrating the newly acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner; (ii) inability to maintain relationships with key clients, vendors and other business partners of the acquired businesses; (iii) potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses; (iv) exposure to litigation or other claims in connection with our assumption of certain claims and liabilities of the acquired businesses; (v) diversion of management's time and focus; and (vi) possible write-offs or impairment charges related to the acquired businesses. The occurrence of any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

The security of our information technology systems and Company data is important to our operations and reputation. Accordingly, we are committed to identifying and managing cybersecurity risks. Our cybersecurity team performs periodic risk assessments and, on a quarterly basis, provides our Enterprise Risk Management Committee (“ERM”) information related to the Company’s cybersecurity, including statistics on attempted cyber-attacks, status of employee information security training awareness, and information on any security investigations. The cybersecurity team advises the ERM of significant global cyber events that occurred during the quarter and whether they impacted DIRTT. The cybersecurity team regularly discusses with the ERM the Company’s cybersecurity posture and whether the Company should implement additional protections and controls to assist the Company in protecting, responding to, or mitigating potential future cyber-attacks.

DIRTT has developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management strategy which consists of 5 phases: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Each phase has multiple processes and technologies supporting those processes.

Identify

Identification processes at DIRTT include: system asset identification, threat identification, vulnerability identification and maintaining cybersecurity policies and standards.

Protect

Protection processes at DIRTT include: cyber awareness training, cyber awareness assessment (each employee is assigned a cybersecurity awareness grade calculated by a best in class cybersecurity vendor), implementation of identity and access controls, perimeter and endpoint security, annual vulnerability assessments and remediation, data encryption in transit, key vendor (third parties) control effectiveness assessment, and pre-implementation of software and systems cybersecurity assessments.

Detect

Detection processes at DIRTT include: automated event collection, collation, analysis, alerting and end user incident reporting.

Respond

Respond processes at DIRTT include: containment, communication, investigation and analysis, and long-term mitigation planning.

Recover

Recovery processes at DIRTT include: impact identification and analysis, system restoration, internal and external communications as deemed necessary.

DIRTT engages external assessors annually for specific controls, to assess and provide assurance on the health of DIRTT’s cybersecurity posture and controls.

DIRTT’s Senior Vice President of Technology (“SVP of Technology”), who reports to the President and Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for DIRTT’s cybersecurity and has over 15 years of technology experience. The SVP of Technology is supported by dedicated cybersecurity staff and Governance, Risk and Compliance (“GRC”) staff. DIRTT’s cybersecurity team leader has over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, multiple industry standard cybersecurity certifications, and extensive offensive and defensive cybersecurity tactical skills. DIRTT’s GRC lead has over 20 years of GRC experience and industry standard certifications. Cybersecurity incidents, response and remediation activities and statuses are reported directly to the SVP of Technology.

The ERM of the Board of Directors oversees risks resulting from cybersecurity threats. DIRTT’s management, represented by the SVP of Technology, is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing risks arising from cybersecurity threats. Quarterly, DIRTT’s SVP of Technology reports to the ERM on the health of DIRTT’s cybersecurity, incidents, and emerging threats and vulnerabilities that may impact the Company.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has not identified any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s results of operations and/or financial condition. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information about cybersecurity risk.

Item 2. Properties.

Our principal executive offices are located in Calgary, Alberta, where we lease approximately 73,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. Our lease expires in September 2030. Our principal manufacturing facilities are currently located in Calgary, Alberta; and Savannah, Georgia. On February 22, 2022, we announced our intention to close the Phoenix manufacturing facility and DXC. On September 27, 2023, we announced our intention to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility.

24


Our wall surfaces (which we call panels), casework and timber solutions are manufactured in Calgary, while aluminum, glass and power components are manufactured in Calgary and Savannah. In Calgary, we lease an aggregate of approximately 400,000 square feet of manufacturing space across four facilities (excluding our principal offices), which leases expire in January 2026, January 2030, September 2027, and January 2034. In Savannah, we lease approximately 81,000 square feet of manufacturing space, which lease expires in February 2029. In Phoenix, we lease approximately 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space across two facilities, which leases expire in March 2027. As at December 31, 2024, all of our Phoenix space is subleased for the remainder of our lease. In October 2019, we entered into a fifteen-year lease, which DIRTT may extend for two additional five-year periods at its option, for a panel factory of approximately 130,000 square feet in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Should the need arise, we have the expansion rights to lease an additional 130,000 square feet of space. We are pursuing options to sublease this area following the September 27, 2023 announcement of our intention to permanently close operations at this location and do not plan to exercise the additional five-year extension period. In March 2020, we entered into an eight-year lease, which DIRTT may extend an additional five years at its option, of approximately 18,000 square feet of space for a DXC in Plano, Texas. During March 2023, we entered into an agreement to sublease our DXC in Plano to one of our Construction Partners in that region, from April 1, 2023, through October 31, 2028.

In Chicago, Illinois, we own approximately 6,200 square feet of office space, which we use to operate a DXC.

Through distributed manufacturing, we can shift production of some components among our manufacturing sites, reduce transportation times and costs, and meet targeted lead times. We believe that our current and planned facilities are adequate for our current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space would be available if needed.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

There have been no material developments in the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 except as described below regarding DIRTT's litigation against Falkbuilt Ltd. ("Falkbuilt"), Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and their associates.

With respect to the DIRTT's lawsuit against Falkbuilt in Utah, on February 5, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah (the "Utah Court") granted Falkbuilt's motion to dismiss the case, on the basis of forum non conveniens. In simple terms, the Utah Court decided that it would not hear DIRTT's claim in Utah because Canada was more appropriate and Canadian law applies to most of DIRTT's claims. Further the Utah Court found that DIRTT's Canadian company, DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd., owns the trade secrets that were the subject matter of the Utah claim, so whether the theft of those trade secrets occurred in Canada or abroad, they would result in injury to DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and should be pursued in Canada. The Utah Court, in essence, redirected the determination of those damages from Utah to Canada, being the appropriate forum for the legal dispute.

In DIRTT's similar lawsuit against Falkbuilt in Canada, in November 2024, the Court of King's Bench of Alberta scheduled an 8-week trial commencing February 2, 2026, and running continuously until March 27, 2026. With the trial's commencement date less than a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages and losses it suffered in Canada, the United States, and abroad in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta. The Canadian Court will determine whether Falkbuilt, Mogens Smed, Barrie Loberg and others wrongfully caused DIRTT to suffer damages, which could exceed $50,000,000.

Key Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights and Other Recent Developments

  • Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $48.9 million, a decrease of $2.0 million or 4.0% from $50.9 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue, as compared to the same period of 2023, was primarily the result of a higher volume of large projects completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Gross profit and gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $17.5 million or 35.9% of revenue, a decrease from $19.2 million or 37.8% of revenue for the same period of 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $19.0 million or 38.8% of revenue. This represents a decrease from $20.1 million or 39.5% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. These decreases in Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are the result of lower revenues and a $0.7 million increase to our inventory obsolescence provision.
  • Net income after tax for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $4.0 million compared to a $1.0 million net income after tax for the same period of 2023. The increase in net income is primarily the result of a $2.0 million decrease in operating expenses (operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 included a $0.8 million impairment charge on the Rock Hill Facility which was not repeated in the fourth quarter of 2024), a $2.6 million increase in foreign exchange gain, a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense and a $0.3 million decrease in tax expense. These benefits were offset by a $1.7 million decrease in gross profit, and a $1.0 million decrease of gain on sale of software and patents that resulted from the completion of the knowledge transfer to AWI that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2023 and was not repeated in 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $5.5 million, or 11.2% of revenue, an improvement of $1.2 million from $4.3 million or 8.5% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023. Higher Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by the decrease in operating expenses, offset by the decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit due to the above noted reasons.
  • Cash on hand increased by $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $29.5 million, compared to a $2.7 million increase in cash in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in cash in the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven by $6.2 million of cash flows from operations and a positive impact of $0.3 million foreign exchange gain, offset by $0.7 million in capital expenditures and $0.1 million from repayment of debt and other financing activities.
  • On November 26, 2024, the Company announced that Holly Hess Groos joined our board of directors (“Board” or “Board of Directors”) and was appointed as the Chair of the Audit Committee.
  • On December 18, 2024, the Company announced a normal course issuer bid for its common shares (the “Shares NCIB”), which commenced on December 20, 2024 and will terminate no later than December 19, 2025. The Shares NCIB permits DIRTT to acquire up to 7,515,233 of its common shares. All purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) at the market price of common shares at the time of acquisition. Any common shares acquired through the Shares NCIB will be immediately cancelled.

  • On February 5, 2025, the US District Court for the Northern District of Utah dismissed DIRTT’s lawsuit against Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”) in Utah on procedural grounds. In DIRTT’s similar lawsuit against Falkbuilt in Canada, the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta has scheduled an eight-week trial to commence February 2, 2026. With the Canadian trial commencing less than a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages and losses it suffered in Canada, the United States, and abroad in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta.

  • On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a share repurchase with NGEN III, LP (“NGEN”) pursuant to which the Company purchased for cancellation 3,920,844 common shares of DIRTT at a purchase price of $0.80 per common share purchased from NGEN (the “Share Repurchase”). The purchase of $0.80 per share was a 1% discount to the closing price of the common shares on the TSX on January 27, 2025 (converted into U.S. Dollars using the February 13, 2025 closing exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada). The common shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase were counted against DIRTT’s annual normal course issuer bid share limit (the “NCIB Annual Limit”). Following completion of the Share Repurchase, the Company’s outstanding NCIB Annual Limit was reduced to 3,422,494. The Share Repurchase closed on February 14, 2025.

Key Annual 2024 Highlights

  • Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $174.3 million, a decrease of $7.6 million or 4% from $181.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue, as compared to the same period of 2023, was primarily the result of three large healthcare projects, one key education project and a larger volume of commercial projects that were completed in 2023 and were not repeated in 2024. Annual revenue was in line with the expected guidance range of $165 million to $175 million provided in the second quarter of 2024.

  • Gross profit and gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $64.4 million or 36.9% of revenue, an increase from $59.5 million or 32.7% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $68.3 million, an increase from $65.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 39.2%, an improvement from 35.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The improved Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are the result of improved material optimization to offset the inflationary impacts on material costs. Fixed costs decreased $2.3 million compared to 2023 as we aligned overhead costs and support costs with current operations after having finalized the decision to close the Rock Hill Facility in the third quarter of 2023.

  • Net income after tax for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $14.8 million compared to a $14.6 million net loss after tax for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net income after tax was the result of a $4.8 million increase in gross profit, a $15.9 million decrease in operating expenses (which includes an $8.2 million decrease in impairment charge on the Rock Hill Facility and a decrease of $1.9 million in reorganization expenses), a $10.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt relating to the Issuer Bid, Debenture Repurchase and the Debentures NCIB (each as defined herein), a $1.1 million increase in interest income, a $0.9 million decrease in interest expense and a $3.6 million increase in foreign exchange gain, offset by a $7.1 million gain on software sale from 2023 not repeated in 2024, and a $0.2 million decrease in government subsidies.

  • Adjusted EBITDA (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $15.4 million or 8.8% of revenue, an improvement of $7.5 million from $7.9 million or 4.4% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, for the above noted reasons. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 exceeded the guidance range of $12 to $15 million.

  • On January 9, 2024, the Company announced the completion of the rights offering to its common shareholders, resulting in the issuance of 85,714,285 common shares at a price of $0.35 ($0.26) per whole common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $30.0 million ($22.4 million) (the “Rights Offering”). DIRTT issued an aggregate of 67,379,471 common shares pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and 18,334,814 common shares pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege. As a result of the common shares issued under the Basic Subscription Privilege and Additional Subscription Privilege, no common shares were available for issuance pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement (each as defined in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

  • On February 15, 2024, the Company commenced a substantial issuer bid and tender offer (the “Issuer Bid”), for our Debentures. Upon expiration of the Issuer Bid on March 22, 2024, DIRTT purchased C$4.7 million aggregate principal amount of its January Debentures and C$5.8 million aggregate principal amount of its December Debentures, representing approximately 11.66% of the January Debentures and 16.50% of the December Debentures issued and outstanding at the time. The Company took up all the Debentures tendered pursuant to the Issuer Bid for aggregate consideration of C$7.0 million (including interest of C$0.1 million) resulting in a $2.9 million gain on extinguishment of debt.

  • On June 30, 2024, then-Chair of the Board of Directors Mr. Ken Sanders retired from the Board of Directors. On July 1, 2024, the Company announced that the Board of Directors elected Mr. Scott Robinson to serve as Board Chair to replace Mr. Sanders.

  • On August 2, 2024, the Company and 22NW Fund, L.P. (“22NW”) closed the Debenture Repurchase in which the Company purchased for cancellation an aggregate of C$18.9 million ($14.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$13.6 million ($10.1 million) principal amount of the December Debentures from 22NW. As at December 31, 2024, C$16.6 million ($11.6 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$15.3 million ($10.6 million) principal amount of the December Debentures remained outstanding, and 22NW no longer held any Debentures.

  • On August 2, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted the Amended and Restated SRP, which superseded the previous Shareholder Rights Plan adopted on March 22, 2024. The Amended and Restated SRP was approved by the Company’s shareholders at a special meeting held on September 20, 2024 (the “SRP Meeting”). The Company also entered into a support and standstill agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with 22NW, DIRTT’s largest shareholder, and WWT Opportunity #1 LLC (“WWT”), DIRTT’s second largest shareholder. The Support Agreement replaces the previously announced support and standstill agreement entered into with 22NW on March 22, 2024.

  • On August 28, 2024, the Company commenced the Debentures NCIB, which permits DIRTT to acquire up to C$1,664,200 principal amount of the January Debentures and C$1,558,700 principal amount of the December Debentures. As at December 31, 2024, C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) and C$0.01 million ($0.01 million) principal amounts of the December Debentures and January Debentures, respectively, had been acquired through the Debentures NCIB.

Pipeline

The table below presents our qualified leads and twelve-month forward pipeline as at January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2024. We define qualified leads as the quantity of projects being pursued as of the date presented, and define our pipeline as the estimated potential revenue from qualified leads where a client has engaged DIRTT and is assessing DIRTT as a potential provider of prefabricated interior solutions. We believe these metrics are helpful to estimate near-term performance, particularly given the macroeconomic factors that affect our operating environment, including labor availability, interest rate changes, and potential recessionary impacts on construction projects.

As of January 1, 2025, our twelve-month forward pipeline increased by 3% from January 1, 2024, illustrated in the table below.

As at
January 1, 2025 January 1, 2024 % Change
Twelve-Month Forward Pipeline ($ 000s)
Commercial 147,609 176,789 (17)
Healthcare 51,214 41,221 24
Government 55,203 34,813 59
Education 24,292 17,117 42
278,318 269,940 3
Leads (#) 1,012 861 18

The January 1, 2024 pipeline included a large commercial project awarded to us in the first quarter of 2024, but the project was phased over a three-year period. As a result, the twelve-month forward pipeline decreased by $22.9 million while the project value remained in the full pipeline. After accounting for this phasing, the twelve-month pipeline increased by $31.3 million.

We believe our pipeline has higher integrity and has more projects further along the process, and therefore we are maintaining our revenue guidance for 2025 at $194 million to $209 million.

Outlook

The segment of construction that DIRTT operates in represents a $40 billion addressable market with increasing expansion opportunities. DIRTT continues to capture more market share by solving construction’s key challenges through innovative product development, technology-enabled efficiency, and a simplified installation process. Adoption of offsite, prefabricated construction is accelerating due to sustainability goals, trade labor shortages, and rising costs. DIRTT pioneered its unique construction method over 20 years ago and remains able to deliver schedule acceleration, cost certainty, unlimited aesthetic customization, and an end product that can be repurposed and reused to minimize waste. Everything we manufacture is de-mountable and infinitely re-configurable to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our customers.


Last quarter, we shared our strategic priorities through 2027, including revenue growth, continued expansion of DIRTT's proprietary ICE software, accelerated innovation, and investment in talent. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we continued mapping our path to growth with a focus on innovating how we go to market. Our primary source of revenue remains our extensive network of independent DIRTT Construction Partners ("Construction Partners" or "Partners"). While we continue to develop and expand this network, including advancing 15 Partners to a higher status tier in 2025, we are also mapping additional growth paths to unlock greater pipeline. For example, we believe there are geographic areas of North America that lack sufficient coverage by our existing network into which we can expand and we are also expanding our offering to include more estimating, pre-construction, and installation services, both directly and through Partners. In 2024, we launched an additional go-to-market channel called Integrated Solutions. This team provides sales, design, estimating, and project delivery services with our Construction Partners and DIRTT sales representatives. Integrated Solutions increases our sales network's capacity as well as targets revenues in channels without existing coverage. There are three key opportunity areas Integrated Solutions is focusing on; diversifying our customer profile, increasing volumes in smaller markets, and expanding into new sectors. Through these efforts, Integrated Solutions aims to simplify our go-to-market strategy and increase access to DIRTT's portfolio of products.

Raw material prices continue to increase and on February 11, 2025, we announced a price increase of 5% on all orders placed after March 18, 2025, and price adjustments on certain products in response to market feedback and to mitigate the impact of these rising costs.

We continue to advance our ICE offering, including the addition of several new features that streamline processes and reduce customer inquiries. In response to user feedback, we optimized the ICE Manager application to improve the interface and added an "Early Access" feature to allow beta testers and developers to access applications for further testing and improvement. An update in December 2024 introduced itemized part pricing and automated casework plan details, saving DIRTT 50 to 75 hours per week in designer time and improving efficiency for customers. We continue to evaluate artificial intelligence ("AI") for software development, including catalogue creation. DIRTT is evaluating a code generative AI resource to develop a web-based freight quoting tool, with the potential to save approximately 200 hours of development time and remove a manual touch-point for our customers.

DIRTT has made significant strides with product innovation and partnerships. For example, the COVE™, our low-acuity solution for emergency departments, officially launched in November 2024 and is already earning significant industry recognition. In addition to previously announced product awards from the 2024 Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo, we were recently awarded the Gold Touchstone Award from the Center for Health Design, and will be recognized in March at the 2025 International Summit & Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction PDC Summit. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we also released curved solid corners for our solid wall solution, which is already seeing strong demand with active project quotes in the market. We are also innovating our market approach through strategic partnerships. In December 2024, DIRTT joined the Siemen's Xcelerator program to further drive our digital transformation in the construction sector by leveraging automation, Internet of Things and digital twin technology to seamlessly connect our physical assets with their digital counterparts. This will help enable continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance, optimized space utilization, and enhanced process efficiency.

We have a bold operations goal of zero defects, missed deliveries, and workplace injuries. In 2024, DIRTT's on time in full (OTIF) delivery performance was 99.1%, the highest in our history. We also achieved a total recordable incident rate (TRIF) of 0.82 for 2024, which is 80% below the industry average.

Through the fourth quarter of 2024, the US economy continued its economic expansion post-COVID with inflation reaching closer to the Federal Reserve 2% target. The recent pause in interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve highlights a commitment to reaching a 2% target. The new administration in the United States has expressed support for deregulation, lower taxes, and creating a favorable economic climate for businesses in America. Return to office mandates have increased, with financial services and technology leading the way. Additionally, a favorable environment for mergers and acquisitions will be an additional demand driver for interior construction. The Kastle Systems weekly occupancy index continues to trend upwards. On the other hand, recent reports of Department of Government Efficiency suggests there may be decreased demand on our General Services Administration Contract, which represented less than 0.6% of our revenues in 2024. The impact of these various developments on our business is uncertain.

We see continued demand growth in our healthcare segment with national spending growing significantly since pre-COVID and are dedicating resources to capture this trend. Similarly, national education construction spending surpassed its pre-COVID highs in 2024. Overall, excluding the tariff risk described below, we are observing a supportive macro-economic environment in the United States that we believe will support increasing demand of our products.

31


The announcement in February 2025 of a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports into the U.S., and Canada’s subsequent announcement of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. good imported into Canada, has created uncertainty across multiple sectors, including the construction industry. While Canada and the U.S. have agreed to delay the imposition of such tariffs until March 6, 2025, the ultimate extent and duration of such tariffs is unknown, and significant uncertainty continues to exist in respect of future tariffs or other trade barriers in general. In addition, on February 10, 2025, an Executive Order was issued by the White House imposing 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum entering the U.S., effective March 12, 2025. As at the date hereof, the outcome and extent of these tariffs is uncertain. 92% of DIRTT’s raw materials are from North America, and DIRTT has manufacturing facilities both in the U.S. and Canada. Our Canadian facilities import some raw materials from the U.S., and our U.S. facilities import some raw materials from Canada. While tariffs would have a cost impact on our business, we believe our presence in both Canada and the U.S. provides us with strategic flexibility. We have been, and continue to be, proactively preparing for potential tariffs and we believe that we have multiple paths to mitigate the impact of tariffs on our business, including alternative material sourcing and manufacturing locations.

We are maintaining our previously provided 2025 guidance, which is set forth below. Given the significant uncertainty surrounding tariffs, our 2025 guidance may not be realized should any significant tariff impacts arise subsequent to the date hereof.

  • 2025 Revenue: $194 to 209 million
  • 2025 Adjusted EBITDA: $18 to 25 million

We finalized our 2025 budget in early January 2025. We plan to increase our capital expenditure by more than 50% from 2024, as we continue to invest in improving efficiencies in our plants, investing in our DXC footprint and investments in ICE.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include non-cash charges and other charges and benefits that we believe are unusual or infrequent in nature or that we believe may make comparisons to our prior or future performance difficult.

As a result, we also provide financial information in this Annual Report that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of the Company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional insight to investors and securities analysts as supplemental information to our GAAP results and as a basis to compare our financial performance period-over-period and to compare our financial performance with that of other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core operating results from period to period and to other companies by removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt facilities, or foreign exchange movements), asset base (depreciation and amortization), the impact of under-utilized capacity on gross profit, tax consequences, reorganization expense, unusual or infrequent charges or gains (such as gain on sale of software and patents, gain on extinguishment of debt and impairment charges), stock-based compensation, related party expense, and government subsidies. We remove the impact of foreign exchange gain (loss) from Adjusted EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains and losses can vary significantly period-to-period due to the impact of changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates on foreign currency denominated monetary items on the balance sheet and are not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company. In periods where production levels are abnormally low, unallocated overheads are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In addition, management bases certain forward-looking estimates and budgets on non-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA. We have not reconciled forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA guidance, to its corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to non-operating income and expenditures, which are difficult to predict and subject to change.

Government subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, reorganization expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, gain on sale of software and patents, net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt facilities, tax expense and related party expense are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures because management considers them to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, even though some of those receipts and expenses may recur, and because management believes that each of these items can distort the trends associated with the Company’s ongoing performance. We believe that excluding these receipts and expenses provides investors and management with greater visibility to the underlying performance of the business operations, enhances consistency and comparativeness with results in prior periods that do not, or future periods that may not, include such items, and facilitates comparison with the results of other companies in our industry.

32


The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this Annual Report, and a description of the calculation for each measure is included.

Adjusted Gross Profit Gross profit before deductions for depreciation and amortization
Adjusted Gross Profit Margin Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue
EBITDA Net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA adjusted to remove foreign exchange gains or losses; impairment charges; reorganization expenses; stock-based compensation expense; government subsidies; unusual or infrequent charges and gains such as gain on sale of software and patents and gain on extinguishment of debt; related party expense; and any other non-core gains or losses
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue

You should carefully evaluate these non-GAAP financial measures, the adjustments included in them, and the reasons we consider them appropriate for analysis supplemental to our GAAP information. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider any of these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. You should also be aware that we may recognize income or incur expenses in the future that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Revenue

Revenue reflects sales to our Construction Partners for resale to their clients and, in limited circumstances, our direct sales to clients. Our revenue is generally affected by the timing of when orders are executed, particularly large orders, which can add variability to our financial results and shift revenue between quarters.

The following table sets forth the contribution to revenue of our product and service offerings.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $174.3 million, a decrease of $7.6 million or 4% from the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to three healthcare projects, one key education project and a larger volume of high value commercial projects that were completed in 2023 and were not repeated in 2024.

Installation and other services revenue was $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $5.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. This revenue primarily reflects services performed by our ICE design teams for third parties. Except in limited circumstances, our Construction Partners, rather than the Company, perform installation services.

Our success is partly dependent on our ability to profitably develop our Construction Partner network to expand our market penetration and ensure best practices are shared across local markets. At December 31, 2024, we had 71 (2023 - 72) Construction Partners servicing multiple locations.

We periodically analyze our revenue growth by vertical markets in the defined markets of commercial, healthcare, government and education.

Commercial sales increased by 4% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Healthcare revenues decreased by 38% in the year ended December 31, 2024, from the prior year, primarily due to three large healthcare projects which were completed in 2023 and did not repeat in 2024. Sales in the healthcare sector tend to be larger individual projects and are subject to timing due to a typically longer sales cycle, resulting in variability in sales levels. We have made several investments in new product solutions (such as COVE and Applied Headwalls) and additions to the business development team to increase product placement in future construction projects. This had led to multiple project commitments set to commence in 2025. Those investments continue in 2025 and are expected to expand into life sciences. Government sales increased by 27% from the prior year. Similar to healthcare, government revenues tend to be larger individual projects. We plan to update our government agreements in 2025 and expect an expansion in the number of our state government agreements. Education sales in 2024 decreased by 24% from the prior year, primarily due to one $1.4 million education project that was completed in 2023. Our sales team has focused on southern markets with high public funding activity to build a stronger education pipeline.

Revenue continues to be derived almost exclusively from projects in North America and predominantly from the United States. The following table presents our revenue dispersion by geography:

U.S. 150,392 161,997 (7)
174,313 181,931 (4)

In 2024, 14% of revenue was from Canada, as compared to 11% in 2023. Historically, approximately 11-15% and 85-89% of revenues are derived from sales to Canada and the United States, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $2.3 million to $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $25.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was largely made up of a $1.0 million decrease in pass through charges, a $0.9 million decrease in building and infrastructure costs, a $0.7 million decrease in commissions, and a $0.3 million decrease in office costs and communication costs. The decreases were offset by an increase of $0.3 million in salaries and benefits and a $0.3 million increase in marketing and tradeshow costs related to the "Partner Camp" event hosted by the Company for our Construction Partners held at the end of the third quarter of 2024.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.8 million to $19.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by a $0.9 million decrease in salaries and benefits, a $0.9 million decrease in office costs, a $0.3 million decrease in depreciation, a $0.3 million decrease in communication costs, a $0.2 million decrease in public company costs, a $0.1 million decrease in travel and entertainment, a $0.1 million decrease in building and infrastructure costs, and a $0.1 million increase in gain on disposal. These decreases were offset by a $1.2 million increase in professional legal fees as a result of the SRP Meeting, the Debenture Repurchase, the Support Agreement and the Debentures NCIB which occurred in the third quarter of 2024, and the Shares NCIB that we commenced in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Operations support expenses

Operations support is comprised primarily of project managers, order entry and other professionals that facilitate the integration of our Construction Partner project execution and our manufacturing operations. Operations support expenses of $7.4 million in 2024 decreased $0.4 million from $7.8 million in 2023. The decrease was largely driven by a $0.6 million decrease in salaries and benefits and was slightly offset by a $0.1 million increase in travel and entertainment costs.

Technology and development expenses

Technology and development expenses relate to non-capitalizable costs associated with our product and software development teams and are primarily comprised of salaries and benefits of technical staff.

Technology and development expenses decreased by $0.6 million to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a $0.7 million decrease in salaries and benefits costs, a $0.2 million decrease in building and infrastructure costs, and a $0.1 million decrease in depreciation expense. These decreases were offset by a $0.3 million write off of a previously capitalized software development project, and a $0.1 million increase in professional services costs.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $3.0 million compared to $2.3 million in 2023. The increase was due to fair value adjustments on cash settled DSU awards as a result of the increased share price between December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024.

Reorganization

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $1.1 million of reorganization costs compared to $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Reorganization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily relate to the movement of inventory and equipment from the Rock Hill Facility for use at our facility in Calgary, Alberta, while the reorganization costs in the year ended December 31, 2023 were largely made up of termination costs associated with actions taken to streamline our back office and operational support functions.

Impairment charge on Rock Hill Facility

The Company finalized the decision to close the Rock Hill Facility in the third quarter of 2023. The Company’s reassessment of the useful lives of the manufacturing equipment at the Rock Hill Facility resulted in an $8.7 million impairment charge in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Certain assets, including manufacturing equipment, which met held-for-sale criteria at that time were reclassified from property, plant and equipment. At March 31, 2024, we determined that the assets held for sale balance of $0.5 million was to be reduced to $nil, resulting in a $0.5 million impairment charge for the first quarter of 2024. We were not able to determine the likelihood of recoverability based on the current market interest in the equipment.

Related party expense

On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Debt Settlement Agreement”) with 22NW and Aron English, 22NW’s principal and a director of DIRTT, (together, the “22NW Group”) who, collectively, beneficially owned approximately 19.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at such time. Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the 22NW Group for the costs incurred by the 22NW Group in connection with the contested director election at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 26, 2022, being $1.6 million (the “22NW Debt”).

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to repay the 22NW Debt by either, or a combination of (i) a payment in cash by the Company to the 22NW Group, and/or (ii) the issuance of equity securities of the Company to the 22NW Group.

In connection with the Debt Settlement Agreement, on March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a share issuance agreement with the 22NW Group, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay the 22NW Debt with the issuance to the 22NW Group of 3,899,745 common shares at a deemed price of $0.40 per common share, subject to approval by shareholders.


At the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on May 30, 2023, shareholders voted to approve the issuance of common shares, and on June 2, 2023, the Company issued 3,899,745 common shares to 22NW Group as repayment for the 22NW Debt. Upon settlement, the debt was revalued at the higher of the deemed price of $0.40 per common share and the May 30, 2023, market price of $0.38 per common share, resulting in a recovery from the balance recorded at March 31, 2023 which had been valued at a price of $0.53 per common share.

Gain on extinguishment of convertible debt

During the year ended December 31, 2024, C$43.4 million ($31.8 million) in principal amount of Debentures was repurchased for cancellation through the Issuer Bid, Debenture Repurchase, and Debentures NCIB which triggered an extinguishment of debt. The gain on extinguishment of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, was calculated as the difference between the repayment and the net carrying value of the extinguished principal less unamortized issuance costs of C$1.2 million ($0.9 million) (refer to Note 7 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).

Foreign exchange gain (loss)

In the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a foreign exchange gain of $3.0 million compared to a loss of $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

Interest income

Interest income increased to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, as we benefited from higher interest rates on higher cash balances.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.9 million from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease is largely due to repayment of debt throughout the year ended December 31, 2024, offset by $0.9 million of unamortized issuance costs related to Debentures that were expensed as a result of the repurchase and cancellation of such debt.

Government subsidies

The Company was not eligible and did not receive any new government subsidies in the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company received $0.2 million of interest with the collection of the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Gain on sale of software and patents

On May 9, 2023, we entered into a Co-Ownership Agreement and a Partial Patent Assignment agreement (collectively, the "AWI Agreements") with AWI. The AWI Agreements provided for a cash payment from AWI to the Company of $10.0 million in exchange for the partial assignment to AWI and resulting co-ownership of a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in certain intellectual property rights in the Applicable ICE Code, including a 50% interest in the patent rights that relate to the Applicable ICE Code. Pursuant to the AWI Agreements, we also provided AWI a transfer of knowledge concerning the source code of the Applicable ICE Code. In exchange for completing the knowledge transfer, we received an additional cash payment of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The AWI Agreements provide that we and AWI have separate exclusive fields of use and includes certain restrictive covenants with respect to the Applicable ICE Code and related intellectual property, which survive until either party elects to separate from its relationship with the other and for five years thereafter. We concurrently entered into an Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (the "ARMSA") with AWI, under which AWI has also prepaid for certain development services to be provided by DIRTT. The ARMSA will automatically terminate if the AWI Agreement is terminated or expires and may also be terminated if either party breaches the exclusive fields of use or restrictive covenants in the AWI Agreement.

The $11.0 million of proceeds on the sale of the 50% interest in the Applicable ICE code, pursuant to the AWI Agreement, was received during the second quarter of 2023. In accordance with GAAP, the proceeds were first applied to the net book value of the related costs of software of $2.9 million and patents (other assets) of $0.9 million. The residual amount of $7.1 million was recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations. Further, $1.8 million was received during 2023 as a prepayment under the ARMSA, which payment was recognized into revenue during 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Part of the proceeds of this transaction were used to settle one of our equipment leases of $1.6 million and resulted in the release of $0.4 million of restricted cash.

Income tax

The provision for income taxes comprises U.S. and Canadian federal, state and provincial taxes based on pre-tax income. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million for the same period of 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded valuation allowances of $3.8 million (2023 - $4.2 million) against deferred tax assets incurred during the year as the Company has experienced cumulative losses in recent years. Due to the Company's history of negative earnings, it is not more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will be utilized in the near term.

As at December 31, 2024, we had C$86.1 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and $51.3 million in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032.

Net income after tax

Net income after tax increased to $14.8 million or $0.07 net income after tax per share (diluted) in the year ended December 31, 2024, from a net loss after tax of $14.6 million or $0.13 net loss after tax per share in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increased income is primarily the result of a $4.8 million increase in gross profit and a $15.9 million decrease in operating expenses (which includes an $8.2 million decrease in impairment charge on the Rock Hill Facility and a decrease of $1.9 million in reorganization expenses), a $10.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt relating to the Issuer Bid, Debenture Repurchase and the Debentures NCIB, a $1.1 million increase in interest income, a $0.9 million decrease in interest expense and a $3.6 million increase in foreign exchange gain, offset by a $7.1 million gain on sale of software and patents from the AWI sale in 2023 that did not repeat in 2024, and a $0.2 million decrease in government subsidies.

Our fourth quarter revenue was $48.9 million, a decrease of $2.0 million or 4% from $50.9 million for the same period in 2023. Historically, our fourth quarter revenue is lower than second and third quarter revenues due to seasonality. The fourth quarter of 2023 had a higher commercial volume of commercial projects, offset by the benefit from four large commercial projects that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross profit and gross profit margin increased to $65.0 million or 36.9% from $59.5 million or 32.7% for the prior year. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin increased $68.3 million or 39.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $65.1 million or 35.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The improvement in Adjusted Gross Profit was a result of material optimization to offset the inflationary impacts on material costs. Fixed costs decreased $2.3 million compared to 2023 as we aligned overhead costs and support with current operations after having finalized the decision to close the Rock Hill Facility in the third quarter of 2023. Idle facility costs incurred since the suspension of operations at the Rock Hill Facility were $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.0 million for the previous year, and are included in cost of sales. We are pursuing options to sublease the Rock Hill Facility to offset idle facility costs in 2025 and beyond.

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, is included under the heading Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada on February 21, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2024, the Company had $29.3 million of cash on hand and C$14.4 million ($10.0 million) of available borrowings, compared to $24.7 million of cash on hand and C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings as at December 31, 2023. Through the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated $4.4 million in cash flows compared to $10.9 million over fiscal year 2023. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $65.0 million, or 36.9% of revenue, compared to the same period in 2023, which generated gross profit of $59.5 million, or 32.7% of revenue. Cash flows were increased in 2024 by the proceeds of the Rights Offering (as defined herein) of $21.3 million and improved operational results, offset by a $21.5 million repayment of debt under the Issuer Bid, Debenture Repurchase and Debentures NCIB. In 2023, the Company benefited from the receipt of $11.0 million of cash from the AWI sale (no similar transaction occurred in 2024), and a receipt of the $7.3 million of government subsidies.

The Issuer Bid, Debenture Repurchase, Debentures NCIB and Shares NCIB were initiated after careful consideration of cash flow, and the Company continues to evaluate uses of cash on hand. As discussed in the "Risk Factors" section, proposed tariffs on Canadian exports into the United States may have a material impact on future cash flows and liquidity, which the Company will continue to monitor.

We have executed upon several initiatives to improve liquidity over the last two years. In May 2023, we entered into an agreement with AWI resulting in the receipt of $12.8 million of cash throughout 2023. In May 2024, we extended our agreement to sublease our Plano DXC to one of our Construction Partners in that region. Under the sublease agreement, the subtenant has assumed responsibility for the monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other costs as of April 1, 2023, through October 31, 2028, providing us annualized savings of approximately $1.0 million. In September 2024, we entered into an agreement to sublease the remainder of our facility in Phoenix. Under the sublease agreement, the subtenant has assumed responsibility for the monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other costs as of October 1, 2024, through March 31, 2027, providing us annualized savings of approximately $0.6 million. We are continuing to pursue sublease opportunities for the Rock Hill Facility and expect these initiatives to result in positive cash inflows in 2025.

On November 21, 2023, the Company announced the Rights Offering, which closed on January 9, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million (net proceeds of $21.3 million).

In January 2021, we issued C$40.3 million of January Debentures for net proceeds after costs of C$37.6 million ($29.5 million). The January Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum and are convertible into common shares of DIRTT at an exercise price of C$4.65 per common share, or if not converted will mature and be repayable on January 31, 2026. As a result of the Rights Offering, the conversion price was adjusted to C$4.03 per common share. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company.

On December 1, 2021, we issued C$35.0 million of the December Debentures for net proceeds after costs of C$32.7 million ($25.6 million). The December Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and are convertible into common shares of DIRTT at an exercise price of C$4.20 per common share, or if not converted, will mature and be repayable on December 31, 2026. As a result of the Rights Offering, the conversion price was adjusted to C$3.64 per common share. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company.

On February 15, 2024, the Company announced the Issuer Bid, under which the Company offered to repurchase for cancellation: (i) up to C$6,000,000 principal amount of the January Debentures at a purchase price of C$720 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures; and (ii) up to C$9,000,000 principal amount of the December Debentures at a purchase price of C$600 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures. Holders of Debentures who validly tendered and did not withdraw their Debentures received the applicable purchase price, plus a cash payment for all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date on which such Debentures were taken up by the Company. The applicable purchase price was denominated in Canadian dollars and payments of amounts owed to holders of deposited Debentures, including for interest, were made in Canadian dollars. The Issuer Bid expired on March 22, 2024 and DIRTT purchased C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) aggregate principal amount of the January Debentures and C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) aggregate principal amount of the December Debentures, representing approximately 11.66% of the January Debentures and 16.50% of the December Debentures issued and outstanding at that time. The Company took up all the Debentures tendered pursuant to the Issuer Bid for aggregate consideration of C$7.0 million ($5.2 million) (comprised of C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal and interest of C$0.1 million ($0.1 million)).

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with 22NW, to purchase for cancellation an aggregate of C$18,915,000 principal amount of the January Debentures at a purchase price of C$684.58 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures and C$13,638,000 principal amount of the December Debentures at a purchase price of C$665.64 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures, for an aggregate purchase price of C$22,104,591.45, inclusive of a cash payment for all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date on which such Debentures were purchased by the Company. The purchase price of each series of Debentures (excluding the cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest) represented a discount of approximately 4% to the average trading price of the applicable series of Debentures on the TSX for the 20 trading days preceding August 2, 2024. Following the Debenture Repurchase, 22NW no longer held any Debentures.

On August 28, 2024, the Debentures NCIB commenced and will terminate no later than August 27, 2025. Under the Debentures NCIB, DIRTT is permitted to acquire up to C$1,664,200 principal amount of the January Debentures and C$1,558,700 principal amount of the December Debentures. As at December 31, 2024, C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) and C$0.01 million ($0.01 million) principal amounts of the December Debentures and January Debentures had been acquired through the Debentures NCIB, respectively. As at December 31, 2024, C$16.6 million ($11.6 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$15.2 million ($10.6 million) principal amount of the December Debentures were outstanding.

On February 4, 2024, the Company entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement with a third party for the funding of up to $4.0 million of litigation costs in respect of specific claims against Falkbuilt, Inc., Falkbuilt Ltd. and Henderson. In return, the Company has agreed to pay from any proceeds received from the settlement of such claims, a reimbursement of funded amounts plus diligence and underwriting costs, plus a multiple of such funded amount based on certain milestones. As part of this agreement, the Company is subject to a general security arrangement over its assets. The agreement was terminated in December 2024. The Company is currently considering whether to pursue further litigation funding, as we believe we have sufficient funds to finance the litigation. There is additional timeline certainty as the Canadian litigation trial date has been set for February 2, 2026.

On December 20, 2024, the Shares NCIB commenced and will terminate no later than December 19, 2025. Under the Shares NCIB, DIRTT is permitted to acquire up to 7,515,233 common shares. All purchases will be made on the open market at the market price of common shares at the time of acquisition. Any common shares acquired through the Shares NCIB will be immediately cancelled. As at December 31, 2024, 58,478 common shares had been repurchased and cancelled for proceeds of C$0.1 million ($0.04 million).

On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into the Share Repurchase with NGEN to purchase for cancellation 3,920,844 common shares of DIRTT (“Common Shares”) currently held by NGEN (the “NGEN Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.80 per NGEN Share. Following the Share Repurchase, there were 189,643,903 Common Shares outstanding, and NGEN no longer held any Common Shares. The NGEN Shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase were counted against the NCIB Annual Limit. Following completion of the Share Repurchase, the Company’s outstanding NCIB Annual Limit is 3,422,494 Common Shares.

As explained above, initiating the share buyback was done after careful consideration of cash flow and with consideration to the risk of proposed tariffs.

We have assessed the Company's liquidity as at December 31, 2024, taking into account our sales outlook for the next twelve months, our existing cash balances and available credit facilities. Based upon this analysis, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity to remain a going concern for at least the next twelve months.

To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and available facilities are not sufficient to fund future activities, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. If additional funds are raised through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may have rights that are senior to holders of our Debentures and our equity securities or contain instruments that may be dilutive to our existing shareholders. Any additional equity or debt financing may be dilutive to our existing shareholders. While we believe we can access capital markets when needed or under acceptable terms, there can be no assurance we will be able to do so.

In February 2021, we entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), as lender (the "RBC Facility"). Under the RBC Facility, the "Borrowing Base" is a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility. The maximum availability under the Extended RBC Facility was subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Effective October 2023, inventory was scoped out of the Borrowing Base. On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the "Second Extended RBC Facility"). The Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Available borrowings under the Extended RBC Facility as at December 31, 2024, were C$14.4 million ($10.0 million). On February 11, 2025, the Company extended the Second Extended RBC Facility (the "Third Extended RBC Facility") for a period of two weeks up to February 25, 2025 whilst the Company and RBC completed negotiations.

On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Extended RBC Facility (the "Fourth Extended RBC Facility"). The Fourth Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation based on accounts receivable balances to a maximum of C$25.0 million and matures on November 30, 2025. Interest is calculated as the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 50 basis points or at the Term CORRA Rate as adjusted by the Term CORRA Adjustment or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 175 basis points. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility also includes a new letter of credit facility guaranteed by the Export Development of Canada of C$5 million. The Company has also entered into a bonding facility with Great Midwest Insurance Company, and any other company that is part of or added to Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc. ("Skyward"), which allows access to a $15 million bonding facility subject to an individual maximum of $5 million. Under the terms of the facility with Skyward, any bonds issued will be secured through Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Fourth Extended RBC Facility.

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the "Canada Leasing Facility") of which, as of December 31, 2024, C$4.4 million ($3.1 million) has been drawn and C$3.9 million ($2.7 million) has been repaid, and a $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States of which $13.3 million has been drawn and repaid, as of December 31, 2024, (the "U.S. Leasing Facility" and, together with the Canada Leasing Facility, the "Leasing Facilities") with RBC, and one of its affiliates. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and bears interest at 4.25%. In connection with the Company's decision to close the Rock Hill Facility, we settled the liability related to the U.S. Leasing Facility ($7.8 million). The U.S. Leasing Facility is no longer available to be drawn on. With the settlement of this liability, we released $2.6 million of restricted cash during 2023.

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows for the years indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $14.8 million provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash flows provided by operations is due to the receipt of $7.3 million cash proceeds from government subsidies, which was not repeated in 2024, offset by $5.9 million in other working capital changes. This decrease was offset by an increase in cash flows due to improved operational results (including a $7.5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a $1.9 million decrease in reorganization expenses) in the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, benefited from $11.0 million of proceeds from the AWI transaction which was not repeated in 2024.

We invested $1.4 million in property, plant and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2024, which was consistent with the prior year's investment in property, plant and equipment of $1.2 million. Expenditures consisted of $0.5 million of leasehold improvements, $0.2 million of marketing investments, $0.3 million of information technology investments and $0.4 million of manufacturing upgrades for the year ended December 31, 2024. We invested $1.6 million on capitalized software during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2024, $0.4 million of cash was used in financing activities, comprising $21.5 million repayment of debt under the Issuer Bid, Debenture Repurchase, Debentures NCIB and $0.2 million relating to employee tax payments on vesting RSUs, $0.1 million of scheduled repayments under the Canada Leasing Facility, offset by $21.3 million of proceeds received from the Rights Offering. For the year ended December 31, 2023, $11.6 million of cash was used in financing activities mainly driven by $2.2 million of scheduled repayments and $9.4 million of early repayments under the U.S. Leasing Facility and the Canada Leasing Facility.

Credit Facility

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into the RBC Facility. Under the RBC Facility, the Borrowing Base is up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the RBC Facility, if the "Aggregate Excess Availability", defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash is less than C$5.0 million, the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been below 1.10:1 for the three immediately preceding months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities. Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company's bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will set-off any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.

On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the "Extended RBC Facility"). The Extended RBC Facility has a maximum borrowing base of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 200 basis points. Under the Extended RBC Facility, until such time that the trailing twelve-month FCCR is above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to one-year's worth of Leasing Facilities payments must be maintained.

On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the "Second Extended RBC Facility"). The maximum availability under the Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case, plus 200 basis points. At December 31, 2024, available borrowings were C$14.4 million ($10.0 million) (2023 – C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings), calculated in the same manner as the RBC Facility described above, of which no amounts have been drawn. The Second Extended RBC Facility removed the three-month FCCR covenant, which resulted in the release of $0.1 million of restricted cash during the first quarter of 2024 (the Company had $0.4 million restricted cash as at December 31, 2023). On February 11, 2025, the Company entered the Third Extended RBC Facility for a period of two weeks up to February 25, 2025 whilst the Company and RBC completed negotiations.

On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Extended RBC Facility. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation based on accounts receivable balances to a maximum of C$25.0 million and matures on November 30, 2025. Interest is calculated as the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 50 basis points or at the Term CORRA Rate as adjusted by the Term CORRA Adjustment or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 175 basis points. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility also includes a new letter of credit facility guaranteed by the Export Development of Canada of C$5 million. The Company has also entered into a bonding facility with Great Midwest Insurance Company, and any other company that is part of or added to Skyward, which allows access to a $15 million bonding facility subject to an individual maximum of $5 million. Under the terms of the facility with Skyward, any bonds issued will be secured through Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Fourth Extended RBC Facility.

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada under the Canada Leasing Facility of which C$4.4 million ($3.1 million) has been drawn and C$3.9 million ($2.7 million) has been repaid, and a $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States of which $13.3 million has been drawn and repaid under the U.S. Leasing Facility with RBC. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and bears interest at 4.25%.

As part of the decision to close the Rock Hill Facility, the Company fully settled the liability related to the U.S. Leasing Facility of $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The U.S. Leasing Facility is no longer available to be drawn on. With the settlement of this liability, $2.6 million was released from restricted cash during 2023.

The Company did not make any draws on the Leasing Facilities during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

We are restricted from paying dividends unless Payment Conditions (as defined in the Fourth Extended RBC Facility) are met, including having a net borrowing availability of at least C$5 million over the proceeding 30-day period, and having a trailing twelve-month fixed charge coverage ratio above 1.10:1 and certain other conditions. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility is currently secured by substantially all of our real and personal property located in Canada and the United States.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Item 8 of this Annual Report. Our critical accounting estimates include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect our financial results under different assumptions and conditions. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As a result, we are required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates. Critical estimates and assumptions made by management include:

Estimates of liabilities associated with the potential and amount of warranty, legal claims and other contingencies

We have warranty obligations with respect to manufacturing defects on most of our manufactured products. Warranty periods generally range from one to ten years. We have recorded a reserve for estimated warranty and related costs based on historical experience and periodically adjust these provisions to reflect actual experience. We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis, and adjust the previous amounts recorded, if necessary, to reflect the change in estimate of the future costs of claims yet to be serviced. Typically, product deficiencies requiring our warranty are identified and remediated within a year of production. The following provides information with respect to our warranty accrual. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, accrued for warranty and other provisions, and third-party costs associated with remedying deficiencies were $0.6 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $1.2 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

We establish reserves for estimated legal contingencies when we believe a loss on litigation is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liability reserves are reflected in operations in the period in which there are changes in facts and circumstances that affect our previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon our assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. We estimate the probable cost by evaluating historical precedent as well as the specific facts relating to each contingency (including the opinion of outside advisors). Should the outcome differ from our assumptions and estimates, or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimated reserves, revisions to the estimated reserves for contingent liabilities would be required and would be recognized in the period the new information becomes known. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $0.05 million provided for legal provisions.

Estimates of useful lives of depreciable assets, the fair value of long-term assets used for impairment calculations and the fair value less costs to sell for assets held for sale

We evaluate the recoverability of our property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”), capitalized software costs and right of use assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. If impairment is indicated, the impairment loss is measured as the amount the assets carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.


Our determination of the fair value associated with long-term assets involves significant estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to the determination of asset groups, future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and asset lives. These significant estimates require considerable judgment, which could affect our future results if the current estimates of future performance and fair values change.

We estimate the useful lives of PP&E, capitalized software costs and right of use assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives are reviewed annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of the relevant assets may be based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the PP&E and capitalized software assets would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.

The Company classifies an asset group ("asset") as held for sale in the period that (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year (subject to certain events or circumstances), (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially and subsequently measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. We estimate the fair value less costs to sell based on market prices and discussions with potential buyers on the assets that are held for sale. The amounts and timing that the assets held for sale are sold could be impacted on the ability to market and sell the assets held for sale, and find a suitable buyer.

Estimates of future taxable earnings used to assess the realizable value of deferred tax assets

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred income tax assets also reflect the benefit of unutilized tax losses that can be carried forward to reduce income taxes in future years. Such method requires the exercise of significant judgment in determining whether or not it is more likely than not our deferred tax assets may be realized and, therefore, can be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, estimates are required to determine the expected timing upon which tax assets will be realized and upon which tax liabilities will be settled. We assess the ability to recover our deferred tax assets every quarter and concluded that a valuation allowance was required against our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2024 of $30.0 million (2023 - $34.5 million).

Tax interpretations, regulations, and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiary operate

The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Our provision for income taxes reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various U.S. federal and state, and Canadian federal and provincial, jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for tax contingencies or valuation allowances, and the change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.

We have no liability for uncertain tax positions. However, should we accrue for such liabilities, when and if they arise in the future, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

Estimates of the fair value of stock awards, including whether the performance criteria will be met and measurement of the ultimate payout amount

We use a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and record compensation expense over an award's vesting period based on the award's fair value at the date of grant. Our awards vest based on service conditions, and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that ultimately vest.

Estimates of ability and timeliness of customer payments of accounts receivable

Our expected credit loss reflects reserves for customer receivables to reduce receivables to amounts expected to be collected. Management uses significant judgment in estimating expected credit losses. In estimating the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses, management considers historical credit loss experience as well as forward-looking information in order to establish rates for each class of financial receivable with similar risk characteristics. While we believe these processes effectively address our exposure for doubtful accounts and credit losses which have historically been within expectations, changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the expected credit loss. We have a contract with a trade credit insurance provider, whereby a portion of our trade receivables are insured. The trade credit insurance provider determines the coverage amount, if any, on a customer-by-customer basis. Based on our trade receivables balance as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 82% and 93%, respectively, of that balance was covered by the trade credit insurance provider.

At December 31, 2024, we had an allowance for expected credit loss of $0.1 million (2023 - $0.1 million).

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and accrued receivables, other receivables, deposits and long-term receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other liabilities, and long-term debt and accrued interest. We are exposed to market, credit and liquidity risks associated with financial assets and liabilities. We currently do not use financial derivatives to reduce exposures from changes in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or interest rates. We do not hold or use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our Board of Directors has responsibility for the establishment and approval of overall risk management policies, including those related to financial instruments. Management performs continuous assessments to ensure that all significant risks related to financial instruments are reviewed and addressed in light of changes to market conditions and operating activities.

Credit risk

Our principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, trade and accrued receivables, other receivables and deposits.

Our credit risk is primarily concentrated in our trade and accrued receivables as we do not believe that we are exposed to any significant credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalents and prepaid expenses. The amounts disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet for trade and accrued receivables and other receivables are net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances are provided for the Company's current estimate of all expected credit losses using the lifetime expected credit loss model. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, our allowance was $0.1 million. In order to manage and assess our risk, management maintains credit policies that include regular review of credit limits of individual receivables and systematic monitoring of aging of trade receivables and the financial well-being of our customers. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At December 31, 2024, approximately 82% of our trade accounts receivable are insured, relating to accounts receivables from counterparties deemed creditworthy by the insurer and excluding accounts receivable from government entities, that have arisen since April 1, 2020, when the trade credit insurance became effective. Our trade balances are spread over a broad Construction Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. No single Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue in 2024 (2023- one). In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, will affect our income or the value of the financial instruments held.

Foreign exchange risk

The majority (approximately 85% to 90%) of our revenue is collected in U.S. dollars, and approximately 40% of our costs are also incurred in U.S. dollars. Most other revenue and costs are denominated in Canadian dollars. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, which could have a positive or negative impact on our revenue and costs. The recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar in 2024 has had a positive impact on results.

Our financial instruments are exposed primarily to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. The following table details our exposure to currency risk at the reporting dates and a sensitivity analysis to changes in currency. The sensitivity analysis includes Canadian dollar-denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at period end for their respective change in the Canadian dollar. For the respective weakening of the Canadian dollar, there would be an equal and opposite impact on net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

| Long-term debt | 31,231 | 10% | 3,123 |
| Total | 61,139 | 10% | 6,113 |

Commodity price risk

We consume raw materials such as aluminum, hardware, wood and veneer, timber, plastic, electrical wiring and components, paint and powder, fabric and vinyl. While aluminum represents the largest component of our raw materials' expenditures, overall aluminum spend comprises only approximately 10% of product revenues and, therefore, absolute exposure to price fluctuations has a minimal impact on profitability.

Interest rate risk

In February 2021, we entered into the RBC Facility which was extended on February 9, 2023 under the Extended RBC Facility. On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility under the Second Extended RBC Facility. The Second Extended RBC Facility has a maximum borrowing base of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case, plus 200 basis points. On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Extended RBC Facility. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation based on accounts receivable balances to a maximum of C$25.0 million and matures on November 30, 2025. Interest is calculated as the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 50 basis points or at the Term CORRA Rate as adjusted by the Term CORRA Adjustment or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 175 basis points. We did not draw on the facilities during 2022, 2023 or 2024 and were, therefore not exposed to any interest rate risk.

The Company's Leasing Facilities and Debentures bear interest at fixed interest rates and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.


Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Product Sales

As described in Notes 2 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's revenue recognized from product sales was $153 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers at the transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company's main performance obligation to customers is the delivery of products in accordance with purchase orders. Each purchase order defines the transaction price for the products purchased under the arrangement. The Company's standard sales terms are Free On Board shipping point.

The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue from contracts with customers is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others (i) testing revenue recognized for a sample of revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, bills of lading and subsequent cash receipts; and (ii) confirming a sample of outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 31, 2024 and, for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as invoices, bills of lading and subsequent cash receipts.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”), including comparative figures, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

In these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. DIRTT’s financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency, and the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. All references to US$ or $ are to U.S. dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars.

Principles of consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of DIRTT and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments, assets held for sale and stock-based compensation that are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the Financial Statements. Estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include:

  • Estimates of ability and timeliness of customer payments of trade receivables;
  • Estimates of useful lives of depreciable assets as well as the fair value of long-term assets and future cash flows used for impairment calculations;
  • Determining the fair value less costs to sell of the assets held for sale;

61


  • Estimates of future taxable earnings used to assess the realizable value of deferred tax assets and the ability to recognize a deferred tax asset;
  • Estimates of inventory obsolescence based on slow moving inventory items;
  • Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiary operate;
  • Estimates of the fair value of stock awards, including whether the performance criteria will be met and measurement of the ultimate payout amount; and
  • Estimates of liabilities associated with the potential and amount of warranty, legal claims and other contingencies.

Segments

Management has determined that DIRTT has one operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, president and chief operating officer, and chief financial officer, who are DIRTT’s chief operating decision makers, review financial information on a consolidated and aggregate basis, together with certain operating metrics principally, to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance.

Foreign currency translation

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. is a Canadian company and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. DIRTT’s wholly owned subsidiary, DIRTT Environmental Solutions Inc., is domiciled in the United States and its functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than those held through foreign subsidiaries, are translated into the transacting company’s functional currency at the year-end exchange rate for monetary items, and at the historical exchange rates for non-monetary items. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses, other than those arising from the translation of the Company’s net investments in its foreign subsidiary, are included in income.

The accounts of the Company’s U.S. dollar subsidiary is translated into Canadian dollars, and the Financial Statements are translated into U.S. dollars for financial statement presentation. Assets and liabilities are translated using year-end exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities are included in “comprehensive income (loss) for the year”.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand held at banks and cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash is a reserve account not available for immediate or general business use and is required as collateral to commercial credit cards or when certain requirements are not met under the terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (as defined in Note 14).

Trade and other receivables, net of expected credit losses

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using the current expected credit loss methodology, which is designed to capture the Company’s current estimate of all expected credit losses.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials and work in progress. The Company does not typically carry a significant amount of finished goods inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on an item’s usability in the manufacturing of the Company’s products. The Company records an allowance for obsolescence when the net realizable value of inventory items declines below weighted average cost. Net realizable value is determined based on current market prices for inventory less the estimated cost to sell. Work in progress is valued at an estimate of cost, including attributable overheads, based on stage of completion.

62


Fixed production overheads are allocated to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of the production facilities. In periods where production levels are abnormally low, unallocated overheads are separately recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Assets held for sale

The Company classifies an asset group (“asset”) as held for sale in the period that (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year (subject to certain events or circumstances), (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially and subsequently measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company stops recording depreciation expense on the asset.

The Company assesses the fair value of assets held for sale less any costs to sell at each reporting period until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale.

Leases

The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases. Leases where the Company assumes substantially all of the rewards or ownership and leases where ownership is transferred at the end of the lease term, or by way of a bargain purchase option, are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of operations.

The Company’s Leasing Facilities (as defined in Note 14) are accounted for as finance leases as ownership of the equipment is expected to return to the Company at the end of the lease term. These transactions are not accounted for as a sale of the underlying equipment as the Company continues to control the equipment.

For leases categorized as operating, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease element at inception. The arrangement is a lease if it conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are separately disclosed as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, with a corresponding lease liability split between current and long-term components on the balance sheet. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included on the balance sheet.

The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including direct costs, attributable indirect costs and carrying costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

63


Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Building 25 years
Manufacturing equipment 10 years
Leasehold improvements Over term of lease (1 to 13 years)
Office equipment 5 years
Tooling and prototypes 4 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Vehicles 3 years

When assets are disposed of or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses.

Capitalized software costs

The Company capitalizes costs related to internally developed software during the application development stage when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project, and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and performed as intended. Capitalized costs include costs of personnel and related expenses for employees and third parties directly attributable to the projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for significant upgrades and enhancements are also capitalized. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities, including training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the developed asset, which is five years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the assets.

Software development is considered internal-use as it is used to design and sell the DIRTT products and is not included in the end client’s product. Revenues received from Construction Partners for ICE Software are recognized as revenues as they are considered an element of the product sale. Any incidental third-party revenues received for the ICE Software are credited against capitalized software costs. The Company follows this accounting policy for cloud computing arrangements that are considered a service contract, however, these projects are capitalized to prepaids and other assets on the balance sheet and are expensed as an operating cost, as opposed to amortization, over the expected term of the software service contract.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, capitalized software costs and ROU assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and changes in circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. Impairment testing is performed at an asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (an “asset group”). In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset group. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Convertible Debentures

The Company accounts for convertible debentures as liabilities. Embedded features included in the convertible debentures that require bifurcation are accounted for separately. Costs incurred directly related to the issuance of convertible debentures are presented as a direct deduction against the carrying amount of the convertible debentures and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.

64


65

Income taxes

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity.

Current tax

Current tax expense is based on the results for the year, adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period during which the change occurs.

When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management's judgment using available evidence about future events.

At times, tax benefits claims may be challenged by a tax authority. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not sustainable upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for "unrecognized tax benefits" is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company's tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

Revenue recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASC 606") and Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue in a manner that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers at the transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for sales incentives related to current period product revenue. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after discounts, rebates and sales taxes or income taxes and duties.

Product sales

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. The Company's main performance obligation to customers is the delivery of products in accordance with purchase orders. Each purchase order defines the transaction price for the products purchased under the arrangement. Construction Partners typically sell DIRTT product to end clients and issue purchase orders to the Company to manufacture the product. Construction Partners utilize ICE licenses to sell DIRTT products. The ICE licenses sold to Construction Partners are not considered a separate performance obligation as they are not distinct, and ICE license revenue is recognized in conjunction with product sales. The Construction Partner ICE Software revenue is recognized over the license period.


The Company’s standard sales terms are Free On Board shipping point, which comprise the majority of sales. The Company usually requires a 50% progress payment on receipt of certain orders, excluding certain government orders or in some special contractual situations. Customer deposits received are recognized as a liability on the balance sheet until revenue recognition criteria is met. At the point of shipment, the customer is generally required to pay the balance of the sales price within 30 days. The Company’s sales arrangements do not have any material financing components. In addition, the Company’s customer arrangements do not produce contract assets that are material to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized.

The Company accounts for product transportation revenue and costs as fulfillment activities and presents the associated costs in costs of goods sold in the period in which the Company sells its product.

Contracts containing multiple performance obligations

The Company offers certain arrangements whereby a customer can purchase products and installation together, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Where multiple performance obligations exist, the Company determines revenue recognition by (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance obligation in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling prices, typically based on cost plus a reasonable margin, and (5) recognizing revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Installation and other services

The Company provides installation and other services for certain customers as a distinct performance obligation. Revenue from installation services is recognized over time as the service is performed.

Principal vs Agent Considerations

The Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross vs. net basis based on whether it acts as a principal by controlling the product or service sales to customers. In certain instances, the Company facilitates contracting of certain sales on behalf of Construction Partners. The Company records these revenues on a gross basis when the Company is obligated to fulfill the service and has the risk associated with service delivery. The Company records these revenues on a net basis when the Construction Partner has the obligation to fulfill the services and has the risk associated with service delivery.

Construction Partner rebates

Rebates to Construction Partners (“Partner Rebates”) are accrued for and recognized as a reduction of revenue at the date of the sale to the customer. Partner Rebates include amounts collected directly by the Company owed to Construction Partners in accordance with their Construction Partner agreements, being the difference between the price to the end customer and the Construction Partners’ price. Other sales discounts are deducted immediately from sales invoices.

Contract balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. As the Company’s contracts are less than one year in duration, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedients to expense costs related to costs to obtain contracts and not disclose unfulfilled performance obligations. As deferred revenue and customer deposits are typically recognized during the year, the Company does not account for financing elements.

Warranties

The Company provides a warranty on all products sold to its clients and Construction Partner’s clients. Warranties are not sold separately to customers. Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized based on an analysis of historical costs for warranty claims relative to current activity levels and adjusted for factors based on management’s assessment that increase or decrease the provision. Warranty provision is recognized in cost of goods sold. Warranty claims have historically not been material and do not constitute a separate performance obligation.

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value-based approach to account for options, share awards and restricted share units (“RSUs”). Compensation expense and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” are recognized for options and RSUs over their vesting period based on their estimated fair values on the grant date, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the majority of options and the market value of the Company’s common shares on the grant date for share awards and RSUs. Certain executive RSUs have performance conditions and are valued using a Monte Carlo model.

On exercise of stock options and RSUs, the recorded fair value of the option or RSU is removed from “Additional paid-in capital” and credited to “Share capital”. For options, any consideration paid by employees is credited to “Share capital” when the option is exercised. The Company’s stock options and RSUs are not shares of the Company and have no rights to vote, receive dividends, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

Stock-based compensation expense is also recognized for performance share units (“PSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”) using the fair value method. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period and the corresponding amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.

The Company measures the DSUs granted under the 2023 and 2024 LTIP (the “New DSUs”) using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date as the present intention is to settle the New DSUs in equity. This is recognized as an increase to stock-based compensation and the corresponding liability on the balance sheet.

Technology and development expenditures

Technology and development expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and benefits associated with the Company’s product and software development personnel which do not qualify for capitalization. These costs are expensed as incurred and exclude certain information technology costs used in operations which are classified as general and administrative costs.

Government subsidies

The Company accounts for government subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to present government subsidies as other income. The nature, significant terms and conditions of government subsidies are disclosed in the Financial Statements.

Common shares

In lieu of a par value for common shares, the Company has elected to calculate any cancellation of common shares using the stated value of shares. The excess of purchase cost over stated value of shares cancelled upon repurchase will be recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year and adjusted for any change in capital structure events triggering retroactive changes to weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for determining the dilutive impact of stock options, RSUs, PSUs, PRSUs and New DSUs. The Company follows the “if converted” method for accounting for the impact of convertible debentures on net income (loss) per share, whereby interest charges applicable to the convertible debentures are added to the numerator and the convertible debentures are assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or time of issuance, if later), and the resulting common shares are added to the denominator.

Fair value of financial instruments

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.


The Company’s fair value analysis is based on the degree to which the fair value is observable and grouped into categories accordingly:

  • Level 1 financial instruments are those which can be derived from quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for similar financial assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 financial instruments are those which can be derived from inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). Level 2 financial instruments include current and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximates fair value due to limited changes to interest rates and the Company’s credit rating since issuance.
  • Level 3 financial instruments are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the financial asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Company does not have any Level 3 financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash; trade and accrued receivables, other receivables; accounts payable and accrued liabilities; other liabilities; and customer deposits approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance was effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (the “ASU-2023-09”) further disaggregated information on an entity’s tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU-2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard and expects the impact to be limited to disclosures.

On November 5, 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (the “ASU-2024-03”) which requires further disaggregated information on an entity’s types of expenses presented to better understand the components of an entity’s expense captions. The amendments within ASU-2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods starting December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard and expects the impact to be limited to disclosures.

On November 27, 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-04, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” (the “ASU-2024-04”) which requires discussing an entity’s assessment of induced conversion and debt extinguishment of convertible debt instruments. The amendments in ASU-2024-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

4. GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES

In the United States, the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) was established by Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to provide an incentive for employers to keep their employees on their payroll during COVID-19 closures. The ERC is a refundable payroll tax credit based on qualified wages paid by an eligible employer between March 12, 2020, and October 1, 2021, for companies experiencing a significant decline in gross receipts during a calendar quarter or having operations fully or partially suspended during the quarter due to COVID-19. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined it was eligible for the ERC for the first three quarters of 2021 and filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). As at December 31, 2023, the $7.3 million of these claimed credits (plus an additional $0.2 million of interest) were received.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, no government subsidies were claimed or received.

5. REORGANIZATION AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

The Company had undertaken a number of reorganization initiatives beginning in 2022. In the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no new initiatives.

Closure of Phoenix Aluminum Manufacturing Facility (the “Phoenix Facility”)

On February 22, 2022, we commenced the process of closing our Phoenix Facility, shifting related manufacturing to both our Savannah and Calgary aluminum manufacturing facilities. The closure of the Phoenix Facility was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2022. The Company entered into a sublease arrangement during the second quarter of 2022, commencing July 1, 2022, which exceeds the contractual lease commitments under the Right of Use assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for the Phoenix Facility that commenced on October 1, 2024 and terminates on March 24, 2027.

Workforce Reductions, Board and Management Changes

In February and July of 2022, we announced our intention to eliminate a portion of our salaried workforce, including manufacturing and office positions, along with other cost reduction initiatives. The Company’s Board of Directors was reconstituted following a proxy contest in April 2022, which was deemed a change of control under the Company’s insurance policy resulting in additional insurance expenditures. Further, the Company made changes to several executive officer roles during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we continued to review costs, resulting in the elimination of additional salaried positions in the second and third quarters of 2023. These actions resulted in the Company incurring certain one-time termination costs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no termination costs related to restructuring were incurred.

Temporary Suspension of Operations and Subsequent Closure at the Rock Hill Facility

On August 23, 2022, we announced the temporary suspension of operations at our Rock Hill Facility, shifting related manufacturing to our Calgary manufacturing facility. Costs associated with this idle facility, included in costs of sales, were $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023 - $2.0 million).

On September 27, 2023, we announced our intention to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. We have moved certain assets to our other facilities and disposed of the remaining assets. The assets disposed of were reclassified and measured as assets held for sale (see table below) as at December 31, 2023. As a result of this decision, we incurred $8.7 million of impairment charges associated with the transfer of assets from held for use to held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2024, all assets have been moved out of the facility and are in the process of being set up at our other facilities. The Company will continue to maintain the Rock Hill Facility building lease and is pursuing a sublease arrangement. Based on prevailing market prices in the area, no impairment indicators exist as at December 31, 2024 for the Right of Use asset of $6.2 million and the related leasehold improvements of $2.5 million.

Reorganization costs incurred related to the above-mentioned initiatives:

For the year ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Termination benefits - 2,162 7,042
Insurance costs on change of control - - 3,691
Phoenix facility closure - 99 756
Professional Services - - 1,021
Rock Hill Facility temporary suspension and closure of operations 1,101 295 129
Other costs 12 453 822
Total reorganization costs 1,113 3,009 13,461

Of the $0.1 million reorganization costs in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $0.6 million), $0.07 million relates to termination benefits (December 31, 2023 - $0.5 million) and $0.03 million relates to Rock Hill Facility reorganization costs (December 31, 2023 - $0.1 million). The Company has moved the remaining assets at the Rock Hill Facility to other operating locations.

Assets held for sale

Assets classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2023, of $1.6 million consisted of manufacturing equipment previously used in the Rock Hill Facility (refer to Note 11). As part of the decision to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility, $10.3 million of assets were assessed against the assets held for sale criteria and reclassified from property, plant and equipment to assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2023. The assets were measured at the lower of the net book value versus the fair value less cost to sell resulting in an impairment charge of $8.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $1.0 million of the assets held for sale were sold. At March 31, 2024, the assets held for sale balance was reduced from $0.5 million to $nil, resulting in a $0.5 million impairment charge for the first quarter as we were not able to determine the likelihood of a sale based on the market interest at that time. These assets were subsequently disposed.

As at December 31,
2024 2023
Assets held for sale, opening 1,555 -
Proceeds from sale of assets held for sale (1,025) -
Impairment charge on reassessment (530) (8,716)
Net book value transferred from property, plant and equipment - 10,271
Assets held for sale, ending - 1,555

To move the assets or dispose of the assets at the Rock Hill Facility, the Company fully settled the principal balance of the U.S. leasing facility in the fourth quarter of 2023. Principal payments of $7.8 million and interest penalties of $0.4 million were incurred (refer to Note 14). As a result of this settlement, $2.6 million of restricted cash was released to the Company in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Discontinuation of Reflect Product Line and Other Charges Incurred

In August 2022, the Company discontinued the Reflect and other product lines, resulting in a one-time inventory write-down of $1.0 million, and an acceleration of amortization expense associated with ICE development for Reflect.

Additionally, the Company accelerated the depreciation of certain items of property, plant and equipment associated with the closure of the Phoenix Facility resulting in additional depreciation incurred in the first quarter of 2022.

These costs were included in cost of sales:

For the Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Provision for inventory of discontinued product lines - - 1,035
Accelerated amortization associated with product line discontinuation - - 1,019
Accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with closure of the Phoenix Facility - - 1,054
Incremental cost of sales - - 3,108

  1. GAIN ON SALE OF SOFTWARE AND PATENTS

There were no sales of software and patents during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Co-Ownership Agreement (the “Co-Ownership Agreement”) and a partial patent assignment agreement with AWI. The agreements provided for a cash payment from AWI to the Company of $10.0 million, subject to certain routine closing conditions, in exchange for the partial assignment to AWI and resulting co-ownership of a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in certain intellectual property rights in a portion of the ICE software that is used by AWI (the “Applicable ICE Code”), including a 50% interest in the patent rights that relate to the Applicable ICE Code. Under the Co-Ownership Agreement, the Company also agreed to provide AWI a transfer of knowledge concerning the source code of the Applicable ICE Code. In exchange for completing the knowledge transfer, the Company received an additional cash payment of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Co-Ownership Agreement provides that the Company and AWI have separate exclusive fields of use and restrictive covenants with respect to the Applicable ICE Code and related intellectual property, which survive until either party elects to separate from its relationship with the other and for five years thereafter. The Company concurrently entered into an Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (the “ARMSA”) with AWI, under which AWI had also prepaid certain development services to be provided by DIRTT. The ARMSA will automatically terminate if the Co-Ownership Agreement is terminated or expires, and may also be terminated if either party breaches the exclusive fields of use or restrictive covenants in the Co-Ownership Agreement.

The $11.0 million of proceeds on the sale of the 50% interest in the Applicable ICE code, pursuant to the Co-Ownership Agreement, during 2023. In accordance with GAAP, the proceeds were first applied to the net book value of the related costs of software of $2.9 million and patents (other assets) of $0.9 million. The residual amount of $7.1 million was recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations. Further, $1.8 million was received during 2023 as a prepayment under the ARMSA, which was recognized into revenue during 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Part of the proceeds of this transaction were used to settle one of our equipment leases of $1.6 million and resulted in the release of $0.4 million of restricted cash during 2023 (refer to Note 14).

  1. GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On February 15, 2024, the Company commenced a substantial issuer bid and tender offer (the “Issuer Bid”) pursuant to which the Company offered to repurchase for cancellation: (i) up to C$6.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding January Debentures (as defined in Note 14) at a purchase price of C$720 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures, and (ii) up to C$9.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding December Debentures (as defined in Note 14), at a purchase price of C$600 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures.

C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) aggregate principal amount of the January Debentures and C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) aggregate principal amount of December Debentures were validly deposited and not withdrawn at the expiration of the Issuer Bid on March 22, 2024, representing approximately 11.66% of the January Debentures and 16.50% of the December Debentures issued and outstanding at that time. The Company took up all the Debentures (as defined in Note 14) tendered pursuant to the Issuer Bid for aggregate consideration of C$7.0 million ($5.2 million) (comprised of C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal and interest of C$0.1 million ($0.1 million)).

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Repurchase Agreement with 22NW Fund, LP (“22NW”), pursuant to which the Company purchased for cancellation an aggregate of C$18,915,000 principal amount of the January Debentures at a purchase price of C$684.58 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures and C$13,638,000 principal amount of the December Debentures at a purchase price of C$665.64 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures, for an aggregate purchase price of C$22,104,591.45, inclusive of a cash payment for all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date on which such Debentures were purchased by the Company (the “Debenture Repurchase”). The Debenture Repurchase closed on August 2, 2024. The purchase price of each series of Debentures (excluding the cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest) represented a discount of approximately 4% to the average trading price of the applicable series of Debentures on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) for the 20 trading days preceding August 2, 2024. Following the Debenture Repurchase, C$16.6 million ($12.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$15.6 million ($11.2 million) principal amount of the December Debentures remained outstanding and 22NW no longer holds any Debentures.

On August 28, 2024, the Company commenced the Debentures NCIB, which will terminate no later than August 27, 2025. Under the Debentures NCIB, DIRTT is permitted to acquire up to C$1,664,200 principal amount of the January Debentures and C$1,558,700 principal amount of the December Debentures. As at December 31, 2024, C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) and C$0.01 million ($0.01 million) principal amounts of the December Debentures and January Debentures, respectively, were acquired through the Debentures NCIB.

71


In accordance with GAAP, it was determined that the C$29.2 million ($21.4 million) repayment on convertible debt through the Issuer Bid, the Debenture Repurchase, and the Debentures NCIB, triggered an extinguishment of C$43.4 million ($31.8 million) of principal amount of debt. The gain on extinguishment of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, was calculated as the difference between the repayment and the net carrying value of the extinguished principal less unamortized issuance costs of C$1.2 million ($0.9 million) (refer to Note 14).

8. LEASES

The Company leases office and factory space under various operating leases. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company gives consideration to instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rate. The Company's operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 13 years. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate at December 31, 2024, was eight years (2023 - nine years) and 7.1% (2023 - 6.3%), respectively.

The Company entered into a sublease arrangement for part of the Phoenix Facility during the second quarter of 2022, commencing July 1, 2022. The Company entered in to an additional sublease arrangement for the remaining part of the Phoenix Facility during the third quarter of 2024, commencing October 1, 2024. Additionally, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for the Plano DXC to one of our Construction Partners in that region, in which the subtenant has assumed responsibility for all monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other costs as of April 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024. The Plano sublease agreement was extended for an additional four years, through October 31, 2028.

9. TRADE AND ACCRUED RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses using the lifetime expected credit loss at each measurement date, taking into account historical credit loss experience as well as forward-looking information in order to establish rates for each class of financial receivable with similar risk characteristics. Adjustments to this estimate are recognized in the statement of operations.

In order to manage and assess our risk, management maintains credit policies that include regular review of credit limits of individual receivables and systematic monitoring of aging of trade receivables and the financial wellbeing of our customers. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At December 31, 2024, approximately 83% of our trade accounts receivable are insured, relating to accounts receivables from counterparties deemed creditworthy by the insurer and excluding accounts receivable from government entities. In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

Our trade balances are spread over a broad Construction Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. For the year ended December 31, 2024, no single Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue, compared to 2023 in which one Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue.

As at December 31,

Current 16,677 12,070
Overdue 2,916 3,818
19,593 15,888

19,494 15,787

No change to our expected credit loss was required during the year ended December 31, 2024, or December 31, 2023. Receivables are generally considered to be past due when over 60 days old, unless there is a separate payment arrangement in place for the collection of the receivable.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), as lender (the "RBC Facility"). Under the RBC Facility, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the "Borrowing Base"). Interest was calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the RBC Facility, if the "Aggregate Excess Availability", (defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash), is less than C$5.0 million, the Company was subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been below 1.10:1 for the three immediately preceding months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company's bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will offset any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.

On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the "Extended RBC Facility"). The Extended RBC Facility has a maximum borrowing base of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") plus 200 basis points plus the Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the amended loan agreement governing the Extended RBC Facility). Under the Extended RBC Facility, if the trailing twelve-month FCCR is not above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to one year's worth of Leasing Facilities payments must be maintained. Effective October 2023, inventory was scoped out of the Borrowing Base.

On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the "Second Extended RBC Facility"). The Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 200 basis points. At December 31, 2024, available borrowings are C$14.4 million ($10.0 million) (December 31, 2023 – C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings), calculated in the same manner as the RBC Facility described above, of which no amounts have been drawn. The Second Extended RBC Facility removed the three-month FCCR covenant, which resulted in the release of $0.1 million of restricted cash during 2024 (the Company had $0.4 million restricted cash as at December 31, 2023). On February 11, 2025, the Company extended the Second Extended RBC Facility for a period of two weeks up to February 25, 2025 whilst the Company and RBC completed negotiations.

77


On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Extended RBC Facility. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation based on accounts receivable balances to a maximum of C$25.0 million and matures on November 30, 2025. Interest is calculated as the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 50 basis points or at the Term CORRA Rate as adjusted by the Term CORRA Adjustment or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 175 basis points. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility also includes a new letter of credit facility guaranteed by the Export Development of Canada of C$5 million. The Company has also entered into a bonding facility with Great Midwest Insurance Company, and any other company that is part of or added to Skyward, which allows access to a $15 million bonding facility subject to an individual maximum of $5 million. Under the terms of the facility with Skyward, any bonds issued will be secured through Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Fourth Extended RBC Facility.

Leasing Facilities

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the "Canada Leasing Facility") of which C$4.4 million ($3.1 million) has been drawn and C$3.9 million ($2.7 million) has been repaid, and a $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States of which $13.3 million has been drawn and repaid (the "U.S. Leasing Facility" and, together with the Canada Leasing Facility, the "Leasing Facilities") with RBC. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and bears interest at 4.25%. Refer to Note 5 on the decision to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. As part of this decision, the Company fully settled the $7.8 million principal balance of the U.S. Leasing Facility in the fourth quarter of 2023. The U.S. Leasing Facility is no longer available to be drawn on. With the settlement of this liability, $2.6 million was released from restricted cash.

The Company did not make any draws on the Leasing Facilities during 2024 or 2023. The associated financial liabilities are shown on the consolidated balance sheet in the current portion of long-term debt and accrued interest and long-term debt.

Convertible Debentures

On January 25, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.5 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "January Debentures") with a syndicate of underwriters. On January 29, 2021, the Company issued a further C$5.25 million ($4.1 million) of the January Debentures under the terms of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters. The January Debentures will mature and be repayable on January 31, 2026 (the "January Debentures Maturity Date") and accrue interest at the rate of 6.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of January and July of each year commencing on July 31, 2021 until the January Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. The January Debentures will be convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the January Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the January Debentures. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.7 million, including the underwriters' commission. As a result of the Rights Offering (as defined herein) (refer to Note 16), the conversion price of the January Debentures was adjusted to C$4.03 per common share representing a conversion rate of 248.1390 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount. On March 22, 2024, the Company completed the Issuer Bid in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) of the principal balance of the January Debentures, and paid C$0.04 million ($0.03 million) of the interest payable on such January Debentures (refer to Note 7). On August 2, 2024, the Company completed the Debenture Repurchase and repurchased for cancellation C$18.9 million ($14.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures held by 22NW. On August 26, 2024, the Company announced the Debentures NCIB, which commenced on August 28, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased for cancellation C$0.01 million ($0.01 million) principal amount of January Debentures as part of the Debentures NCIB. As at December 31, 2024, C$16.6 million ($11.6 million) principal amount of the January Debentures was outstanding.

78


On December 1, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.4 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “December Debentures” and, collectively with the January Debentures, the “Debentures”) with a syndicate of underwriters. The December Debentures will mature and be repayable on December 31, 2026 (the “December Debentures Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December of each year commencing on June 30, 2022 until the December Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. The December Debentures will be convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the December Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the December Debentures. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.3 million, including the underwriters’ commission. As a result of the Rights Offering (refer to Note 16), the conversion price of the December Debentures was adjusted to C$3.64 per common share representing a conversion rate of 274.7253 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount. On March 22, 2024, the Company completed the Issuer Bid in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) of the principal balance of the December Debentures and paid C$0.08 million ($0.06 million) of the interest payable on such December Debentures (refer to Note 7). On August 2, 2024, the Company repurchased for cancellation C$13.6 million ($10.1 million) principal amount of December Debentures held by 22NW. On August 26, 2024, the Company announced the Debentures NCIB which commenced on August 28, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased for cancellation C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) principal amount of December Debentures as part of the Debentures NCIB.

The provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, provincial and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. In the United States, the CARES Act of 2020 allows, among other provisions, for the recovery of taxes paid over the preceding five years from current year losses.

The Company’s U.S. subsidiary’s result was taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company utilized prior year operating losses against this income; however, U.S. tax law does not allow for the full offset of losses against current year taxable income to reduce tax payable to zero. This resulted in current tax payable of $0.4 million in 2024 (2023 - $0.3 million).

16. RIGHTS OFFERING

On November 21, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to its common shareholders for aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million ($22.4 million).

In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company entered into a standby purchase agreement, dated November 20, 2023 (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) with 22NW and 726 BC LLC and 726 BF LLC (together, “726”), or their permitted assigns (collectively and including WWT Opportunity #1 LLC (“WWT”), to which 726 transferred all of their common shares to on December 1, 2023, the “Standby Purchasers”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement, each Standby Purchaser agreed to exercise its Basic Subscription Privilege (as defined below) in full and to collectively purchase from the Company, at the subscription price, all common shares not subscribed for by holders of Rights (as defined below) under the Basic Subscription Privilege or Additional Subscription Privilege (as defined below), up to a maximum of C$15.0 million each, so that the maximum number of common shares that could be issued in connection with the Rights Offering would be issued and the Company would receive aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million ($22.4 million). As described below, no standby fee was paid to the Standby Purchasers in connection with the Rights Offering; however, DIRTT reimbursed the Standby Purchasers for their reasonable expenses in the amount of $0.03 million each.

On January 9, 2024, the Company announced the completion of the Rights Offering to its common shareholders and the issuance of 85,714,285 common shares at a price of C$0.35 ($0.26) per whole common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million ($22.4 million) and aggregate net proceeds of $21.3 million ($1.1 million of costs associated with the Rights Offering). Each right distributed under the Rights Offering (each, a “Right”) entitled eligible holders to subscribe for 0.81790023 common shares, exercisable for whole common shares only, meaning 1.22264301 Rights were required to purchase one common share (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”). In accordance with applicable law, the Rights Offering included an additional subscription privilege (the “Additional Subscription Privilege”) under which eligible holders of Rights who fully exercised the Rights issued to them under their Basic Subscription Privilege, were entitled to subscribe for additional common shares, on a pro rata basis, that were not otherwise subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege.

DIRTT issued an aggregate of 67,379,471 common shares pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and 18,334,814 common shares pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege. As a result of the common shares issued under the Basic Subscription Privilege and Additional Subscription Privilege, no common shares were available for issuance pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement.

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2020, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”). The 2020 LTIP replaced the predecessor incentive plans, being the Performance Share Unit Plan (“PSU Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”). Following the approval of the 2020 LTIP, no further awards will be made under either the Stock Option Plan or the PSU Plan, but both remain in place to govern the terms of any awards that were granted pursuant to such plans and remain outstanding.


In May 2023, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2023 LTIP") at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The 2023 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, deferred share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, and other share-based awards and cash awards to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. In accordance with the 2023 LTIP, the sum of (i) 12,350,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Stock Option Plan that, following May 30, 2023, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, were reserved for issuance under the 2023 LTIP. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold and sell shares as a means of meeting DIRTT's tax withholding requirements in respect of the withholding tax remittances required in respect of award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.

In May 2024, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Second Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2024 LTIP") at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The effective date of the 2024 LTIP is May 9, 2024. The 2024 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, deferred share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, and other share-based awards and cash awards to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. In accordance with the 2024 LTIP, the sum of (i) 27,350,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Stock Option Plan that, following May 22, 2020, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, have been reserved for issuance under the 2024 LTIP. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold and sell shares as a means of meeting DIRTT's tax withholding requirements in respect of the withholding tax remittances required in respect of award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.

Deferred share units ("DSUs") have historically been granted to non-employee directors under the Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (as amended and restated, the "DSU Plan") and settleable only in cash. The 2024 LTIP gives the Company the ability to settle DSUs in either cash or common shares, while consolidating future share-based awards under a single plan. The terms of the DSU Plan are otherwise materially unchanged as incorporated into the 2024 LTIP. Effective May 30, 2023, no new awards will be made under the DSU Plan, but awards previously granted under the DSU Plan will continue to be governed by the DSU Plan. DSUs are settled following cessation of services with the Company.

Restricted share units (time-based vesting)

Except as noted below, outstanding restricted share units (“RSUs”) that vest based on time have an aggregate time-based vesting period of three years and generally one-third of the RSUs vest every year over a three-year period from the date of grant. At the end of a three-year term, the associated RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2024 and 2023 was C$0.68 and C$0.46, respectively, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on their respective grant dates. During 2023, 150,000 RSUs were granted to each of the chief executive officer, president and chief operating officer and chief financial officer which vested in the first and third quarters of 2024.

During the third quarter of 2024, certain of the Company’s executives were issued (i) 5 million RSUs which will cliff vest on August 14, 2026 and (ii) 975,000 RSUs, one-third of which will vest every year over a three-year period from the date of grant, in each case such vesting is generally subject to continued employment. Once vested, the RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted was C$0.75, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.

Restricted share units (performance-based vesting)

During 2022 and 2021, restricted share units were granted to executives with service and performance-based conditions for vesting (the “PRSUs”). If the Company’s share price increases to certain values for 20 consecutive trading days, as outlined below, a percentage of the PRSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period or on their departure, based on terms agreed.

The grant date fair value of the 2022 and 2021 PRSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$1.87 and C$3.27, respectively.

Based on share price performance since the date of grant, 66.7% of the 2021 PRSUs vested on March 1, 2024, but none of the 2022 PRSUs will vest upon completion of the three-year service period.

% of PRSUs Vesting
33.3% 66.7% 100.0% 150.0%
2021 and 2022 PRSUs $ 3.00 $ 4.00 $ 5.00 $ 7.00

Share awards

During the first quarter of 2022, certain executives were issued share awards in lieu of cash paid variable incentive compensation (“Share Awards”). These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$2.40 ($1.88), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. In the fourth quarter of 2022, 59,488 Share Awards were issued to employees as a component of their compensation.

In the first quarter of 2023, 36,254 Share Awards were issued to a consultant as compensation for services rendered. During the second quarter of 2023, certain executives were issued Share Awards in lieu of cash paid variable incentive compensation. These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$0.49 ($0.34), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. There were no Share Awards granted or vested during 2024.

Performance share units

During the second quarter of 2023, certain executives were issued a strategic equity grant through performance share units (“PSUs”). The performance period of the PSUs is from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2026, with a cliff vesting term for December 31, 2026. 2,584,161 PSUs were granted and depending on the level of performance, the PSUs will vest 100%, 160% or 190% up to a maximum of 4,909,907 PSUs. Settlement will be made in the form of shares issued from treasury. The performance measures are a combination of Revenue and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and both targets have to be achieved. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of these PSUs have been deemed to be nil based on the likelihood of achieving the targets compared to current results. During the third quarter of 2023, 738,553 PSUs with a $nil value were forfeited as a result of an executive departure and 1,845,608 PSUs with a $nil value are outstanding as at December 31, 2024.


Deferred share units

Granted under the DSU Plan

The fair value of the DSU liability and the corresponding expense is charged to profit or loss at the grant date. Subsequently, at each reporting date between the grant date and settlement date, the fair value of the liability is remeasured with any changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the period. The weighted average fair value of the DSUs granted in 2023 was C$0.63 ($0.47), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. DSUs outstanding at December 31, 2024, had a fair value of $0.7 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (2023 – $0.5 million).

Granted under the 2023 and 2024 LTIP

DSUs granted after May 30, 2023, (the “New DSUs”) will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares (or a combination thereof) to the Directors, at the discretion of the Company. The Company intends to settle these DSUs through issuances of common shares. The weighted average fair value of the New DSUs granted in 2024 and 2023 was C$0.69 ($0.50) and C$0.46 ($0.34), respectively, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. New DSUs outstanding at December 31, 2024, had a fair value of $1.3 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (2023 – $0.6 million).

As at December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding options.

Dilutive instruments

For the year ended December 31, 2024, 2.3 million RSUs and PRSUs, 2.0 million New DSUs and 45.1 million shares which would have been issued if the principal amount of the Debentures were settled in common shares at the year-end price were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. 1.8 million PSUs and 0.2 million RSUs and PRSUs were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net income per share.

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 1.8 million and nil PSUs, 3.6 million and 2.2 million RSUs and PRSUs, 0.2 million and 1.5 million options, 1.8 million and nil New DSUs and 156.8 million and 109.1 million shares would be issued if the principal amount of the Debentures were settled in our common shares at the year-end share price were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net loss per share.

18. SHARE REPURCHASES

On December 18, 2024, the Company announced a normal course issuer bid for common shares (the "Shares NCIB"), which commenced on December 20, 2024, terminates on December 19, 2025 and permits DIRTT to acquire up to 7,515,233 common shares. All purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX at the market price of common shares at the time of acquisition. Any common shares acquired through the Shares NCIB will be immediately cancelled. Under this program, DIRTT acquired and cancelled 58,478 common shares during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the common shares repurchased and cancelled during the period:

Period Total number of shares purchased Average price paid per share Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced programs Maximum number of share that may yet be purchased under the program

20. REVENUE

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by performance obligation and timing of revenue recognition. All revenue comes from contracts with customers. Refer to Note 21 for the disaggregation of revenue by geographic region.

For the Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Product 152,856 158,405 147,448
Transportation 16,066 17,674 18,030
License fees from Construction Partners 738 840 778
Total product revenue 169,660 176,919 166,256
Installation and other services 4,653 5,012 5,905
174,313 181,931 172,161

DIRTT sells its products and services pursuant to fixed-price contracts which generally have a term of one year or less. The transaction price used in determining the amount of revenue to recognize from fixed-price contracts is based upon agreed contractual terms with each customer and is not subject to variability.

For the Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
At a point in time 168,922 176,079 165,478
Over time 5,391 5,852 6,683
174,313 181,931 172,161

Revenue recognized at a point in time represents the majority of the Company's sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains legal title to the product, which is when ownership of the product is transferred to, or services are delivered to, the customer. Revenue recognized over time is limited to installation and ongoing maintenance contracts with customers and is recorded as performance obligations are satisfied over the term of the contract.

Contract Liabilities

As at December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Customer deposits 4,028 5,290 4,458
Deferred revenue - - 408
Contract liabilities 4,028 5,290 4,866

Contract liabilities primarily relate to deposits received from customers and maintenance revenue from license subscriptions. The balance of contract liabilities was lower as at December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period mainly due to the timing of orders and payments. Contract liabilities as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, totaling $5.3 million and $4.9 million were recognized as revenue during 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Sales by Industry

The Company periodically reviews product revenue by industry vertical market to evaluate trends and the success of industry specific sales initiatives. The nature of products sold to the various industries is consistent and therefore the periodic review is focused on sales performance.

DIRTT has one reportable segment: solutions. The DIRTT solutions segment derives revenues from customers by providing physical products and digital tools through our ICE software to create interior spaces for our customers across the commercial, healthcare, education and government industries. The solutions segment provides digital tools (access to ICE software) and physical products to create modular interior construction spaces for our customers. The accounting policies of the solutions segment are the same as those described in Note 2 – significant accounting policies.

DIRTT's chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team that includes the president and chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and the chief executive officer. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the solution segment and decides how to allocate resources based on gross profit and net loss that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as consolidated gross profit and net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the solution segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to repay long term debt.

Gross profit and net income (loss) are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to DIRTT's competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management's compensation.

DIRTT derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The technology used in the customer arrangements is based on a single software platform that is deployed to, and implemented by, customers in a similar manner.

22. COMMITMENTS

As at December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding purchase obligations of approximately $4.2 million related to inventory and property, plant and equipment purchases (2023 – $2.8 million). Refer to Note 8 for lease commitments.

23. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is pursuing multiple lawsuits against its former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, their new company Falkbuilt Ltd. ("Falkbuilt"), and other related individual and corporate defendants for violations of fiduciary duties and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in their executive employment agreements, and the misappropriation of DIRTT's confidential and proprietary information in violation of numerous Canadian and U.S. state, and federal laws pertaining to the protection of DIRTT's trade secrets and proprietary information and the prevention of false advertising and deceptive trade practices.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company's litigation against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and their associates was comprised of two main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of King's Bench instituted on May 9, 2019, against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and several other former DIRTT employees alleging breaches of restrictive covenants, fiduciary duties, and duties of loyalty, fidelity and confidentiality, and the misappropriation of DIRTT's confidential information (the "Canadian Non-Compete Case"); and (ii) an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah instituted on December 11, 2019, against Falkbuilt, Smed, and other individual and corporate defendants alleging misappropriation of DIRTT's confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information (the "Utah Misappropriation Case"). Claims previously pending before in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas have been included in the Utah Misappropriation Case.

Falkbuilt also filed a lawsuit against the Company on November 5, 2019, in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta, alleging that DIRTT has misappropriated and misused their alleged proprietary information in furtherance of DIRTT's product development. Falkbuilt seeks monetary relief and an interim, interlocutory and permanent injunction of DIRTT's alleged use of the alleged proprietary information. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and filed an application for summary judgment to dismiss Falkbuilt's claim.

On the first matter, on October 25, 2024, the Honourable Mr. Justice Poelman of the Court of King's Bench of Alberta granted a Court Order directing the Clerk of the Court to schedule an 8-week trial on the first available dates after December 8, 2025, to determine all the issues (including damages and liability). The trial is scheduled to commence February 2, 2026.

In the Utah Misappropriation Case, on April 11, 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit reversed the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah's decision that Utah was an inconvenient forum for DIRTT's claims against Falkbuilt and others for the misappropriation of confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information. The Texas Unfair Competition Case was dismissed in March 2022, without prejudice, in reliance upon the now-reversed decision in the Utah Misappropriation Case, described above. On March 4, 2024, Defendants jointly moved to move the case to Canada again. Notwithstanding all the prior litigation, on March 28, 2024, Falkbuilt moved to stay the Utah case until the Court ruled on the renewed motion to dismiss (the "Second Motion to Dismiss"). On February 5, 2025, the Utah District Court granted the Second Motion to Dismiss for forum non conveniens, without prejudice. The Utah Court, in essence, redirected the determination of those damages from Utah to Canada, being the appropriate forum for the legal dispute. With the Canadian trial commencing less than a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages and losses it suffered in Canada, the United States, and abroad in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta.

No amounts are accrued for the above legal proceedings.

24. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement") with 22NW and Aron English, 22NW's principal and a director of DIRTT, (together, the "22NW Group") who, collectively, beneficially owned approximately $19.5\%$ of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at such time. Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the 22NW Group for the costs incurred by the 22NW Group in connection with the contested director election at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 26, 2022, being approximately $1.6 million (the "Debt").

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to repay the Debt by either, or a combination of (i) a payment in cash by the Company to the 22NW Group, and/or (ii) the issuance of equity securities of the Company to the 22NW Group. The liability as at March 31, 2023 was revalued using the closing common share price at March 31, 2023, and a $2.1 million liability and expense was recorded in the financial statements.


In connection with the Debt Settlement Agreement, on March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a share issuance agreement with the 22NW Group, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay the Debt with the issuance to the 22NW Group of 3,899,745 common shares at a deemed price of $0.40 per common share, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders which was obtained at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 30, 2023.

Other related party transactions for the year ended December 31, 2023, relate to the sale of DIRTT products and services to the 22NW Group for $0.3 million. The sale to the 22NW Group was based on price lists in force and terms that are available to all employees. There were no sales to the 22NW Group for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Repurchase Agreement with 22NW Group to purchase for cancellation of C$18.9 million ($14.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$13.6 million ($10.1 million) principal amount of the December Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of C$22.1 million ($16.2 million). Interest earned on such Debentures to, but not including, the date of repurchase for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interest is earned on terms applicable to all Debenture holders. As at December 31, 2024, 22NW no longer held any Debentures.

Also on August 2, 2024, DIRTT entered into a support and standstill agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with 22NW and WWT, DIRTT’s second largest shareholder, which replaced the support and standstill agreement entered into with 22NW on March 22, 2024. Under the Support Agreement, both 22NW and WWT agreed to certain voting and standstill obligations, including voting in favor of the management director nominees at each of DIRTT’s next two annual general meetings and voting in favor of the ratification of the Amended and Restated SRP. Additionally, each of 22NW and WWT has the right to designate a director nominee at each of DIRTT’s next two annual general meetings, and is subject to certain restrictions with respect to commencing a take-over bid for the Company. The Support Agreement also permits WWT to acquire up to 4,067,235 additional shares through market purchases (representing approximately 2% of the then issued and outstanding shares), which provides WWT with an opportunity to own the same number of shares as 22NW (being 57,447,988 shares, or approximately 29.8% of the issued and outstanding shares as of the date of the Support Agreement). The Support Agreement otherwise prohibits each of 22NW and WWT from acquiring any additional shares. Since the commencement of the Support Agreement, WWT acquired 156,250 shares in the year ended December 31, 2024.

To give effect to the terms of the Support Agreement, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated SRP, effective August 2, 2024, which amended and restated the Company’s shareholder rights plan agreement originally adopted by the Board on March 22, 2024 (the “Original SRP”). The Amended and Restated SRP was ratified by shareholders at the special meeting held on September 20, 2024 (the “SRP Meeting”). The Amended and Restated SRP revised the definition of “Exempt Acquisition” in order to permit WWT to acquire additional common shares without triggering the provisions of the Amended and Restated SRP. The Amended and Restated SRP is otherwise consistent with the Original SRP and is substantially similar to the rights plan adopted by the Company in 2021. Like the Original SRP, the Amended and Restated SRP is intended to help ensure that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly and equally in connection with any unsolicited take-over bid or other acquisition of control of the Company (including by way of a “creeping” take-over bid). The Amended and Restated SRP was not adopted in response to any specific proposal to acquire control of the Company, and the Board was not aware of any pending or potential take-over bid for the Company at the time of the adoption.

25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 1, 2025, the President of the United States of America issued executive orders to impose new tariffs on goods being imported into the United States of America from Canada, Mexico and China. If implemented, these new tariffs could adversely impact the Canadian economy, consumer spending, inflation, Canadian dollar valuation and the Company's financial results. Further, on February 10, 2025 the President of the United States of America issued another executive order imposing additional 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from various countries including Canada.

The actual impact of the new tariffs or any retaliatory tariffs is subject to several factors including the effective date, duration of such tariffs, changes in the applied rates, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any countermeasures that the target countries may take and any mitigating actions that may become available. These developments also introduce a degree of uncertainty regarding the potential impact on supply chains, cost structures and market dynamics. The imposition of trade barriers, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, safeguards, and customs restrictions between Canada and the U.S., may increase the cost or reduce the supply of materials and products available to us, increase shipping times, affect our customers' construction needs or budgets, affect the demand for our products or our product mix, or require us to modify our supply chain organization, manufacturing facilities, or other current business practices, any of which could impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company will continue to monitor the evolving trade landscape and its implications on operations and financial performance.

On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with NGEN III, LP ("NGEN"), pursuant to which the Company purchased for cancellation 3,920,844 common shares currently held by NGEN at a purchase price of $0.80 per share (the "Share Repurchase"). Pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the purchase price of $0.80 per share was a 1% discount to the closing price of the common shares on the TSX on January 27, 2025 (converted into U.S. Dollars using the February 13, 2025 closing exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada). Upon completion of the Share Repurchase on February 14, 2025, there were 189,643,903 common shares outstanding, and NGEN no longer held any common shares of the Company. The common shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase counts against DIRTT's annual normal course issuer bid share limit (the "NCIB Annual Limit"). Following completion of the Share Repurchase, the Company's outstanding NCIB Annual Limit is 3,422,494.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO framework) to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that the COSO framework is a suitable framework for its evaluation of financial reporting because it is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurements of our internal control over financial reporting, is sufficiently complete so that those relevant factors that would alter a conclusion about the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting.

Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2024, based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. ("DIRTT," the "Company," "the Corporation," "we" or "our") is amalgamated in Alberta, Canada, under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (as amended, the "ABCA").

The following is a description of DIRTT's common shares, without par value ("Common Shares"), which are the only securities of DIRTT registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This brief description is based upon our amended and restated articles of amalgamation ("articles of amalgamation"), our amended and restated by-laws ("by-laws"), and provisions of applicable law. The following description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of our articles of amalgamation and our by-laws, which are incorporated by reference or filed as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein, and amendments or restatements of each will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in future periodic or current reports in accordance with SEC rules.

For more detailed information about the rights of DIRTT's Common Shares, you should refer to our articles of amalgamation, our by-laws, and provisions of applicable law.

Authorized Shares and Capital Structure

Under our articles of amalgamation, we have the authority to issue: (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares, and (ii) an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in one or more series having the designation, rights, privileges and conditions attaching to each series of such shares as the directors may fix by resolutions from time to time before the issuance thereof, and each series to consist of such number of shares as may, before the issuance thereof, be determined by resolution of the directors, except that the directors may not issue any preferred shares if by doing so the aggregate number of preferred shares that would then be issued and outstanding would exceed 20% of the aggregate number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding. Under Alberta law, there is no franchise tax on our authorized share capital.

Common Shares. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend all meetings of shareholders (except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote) and are entitled to one vote per Common Share. Holders of Common Shares are not entitled to cumulative voting rights in respect of the election of directors or otherwise. There are no restrictions on foreign holders voting our Common Shares. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by our board of directors (the "Board"), such dividends as may be declared thereon by the Board from time to time; provided that the Company may declare dividends on any class of shares to the exclusion of any other class without being obliged to declare any dividends on the Common Shares. In the event of dissolution, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares of the Company, our holders of Common Shares are entitled to share equally on a pro rata basis in the remaining property of the Company.

Our outstanding Common Shares are fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Shares. We do not have any preferred shares currently outstanding. Pursuant to our articles of amalgamation, our Board has the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue from time to time preferred shares in one or more series. Our Board may by resolution fix from time to time before the issue thereof the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series of the preferred shares, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series. The issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of restricting dividends on our Common Shares, diluting the voting power of our Common Shares, impairing the liquidation rights of our Common Shares, or delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control. Such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Common Shares. Any preferred shares so issued may rank senior to our Common Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both. Pursuant to our articles of amalgamation, the Board may not issue any preferred shares if by doing so the aggregate number of preferred shares that would then be issued and outstanding would exceed


by 20% of the aggregate number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding. We currently have no plans to issue any preferred shares.

Shareholder Approval; Vote on Extraordinary Corporate Transactions. Under the ABCA, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as a name change, amalgamations (other than with certain affiliated corporations), continuances to another jurisdiction and sales, leases or exchanges of all, or substantially all, of the property of a corporation (other than in the ordinary course of business), and other extraordinary corporate actions such as liquidations, dissolutions and arrangements (if ordered by a court), are required to be approved by a “special resolution” of shareholders.

A “special resolution” is a resolution (i) passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution, or (ii) signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution. In specified cases, a special resolution to approve an extraordinary corporate action is required to be approved separately by the holders of a class or series of shares, including in certain cases a class or series of shares not otherwise carrying voting rights.

Amendments to the Governing Documents. Under the ABCA, amendments to the articles of a corporation generally require approval by special resolution of shareholders. If the proposed amendment would affect a particular class of shares in certain specified ways, the holders of shares of that class are entitled to vote separately as a class on the proposed amendment, whether or not the shares otherwise carry the right to vote.

The ABCA allows the directors, by resolution, to make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate the business or affairs of the corporation. When directors make, amend or repeal a by-law, they are required, under the ABCA, to submit the change to shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders. Shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the by-law, the amendment or the repeal with the approval of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who voted on the resolution. If a by-law, or an amendment or a repeal of a by-law, is rejected by the shareholders, or if the directors do not submit a by-law, or an amendment or a repeal of a by-law, to the shareholders, the by-law, amendment or repeal ceases to be effective and no subsequent resolution of the directors to make, amend or repeal a by-law having substantially the same purpose or effect is effective until it is confirmed or confirmed as amended, by the shareholders.

Quorum of Shareholders. The ABCA provides that, unless the by-laws provide otherwise, a quorum of shareholders is present at a meeting of shareholders (irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the meeting) if holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy. Our by-laws provide that a quorum is present if there are at least two persons present in person, each being a shareholder entitled to vote thereat or a duly appointed proxy or representative for an absent shareholder so entitled, and representing in the aggregate at least 33-1/3% of our outstanding shares carrying voting rights at the meeting of shareholders.

Calling Meetings. The ABCA provides that the directors shall call an annual meeting of shareholders not later than 15 months after the last preceding annual meeting, and may at any time call a special meeting of shareholders. Pursuant to our articles of amalgamation and our by-laws, meetings of shareholders may be held inside or outside Alberta at such place as may be determined by the Board from time to time. The Registered Holders or beneficial owners (as defined in the ABCA) of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition, but the beneficial owners of shares do not thereby acquire the direct right to vote at the meeting that is the subject of the requisition.

Shareholder Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Under the ABCA, a resolution in writing signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of shareholders.

Director Election, Qualification and Number. The ABCA provides for the election of directors by a plurality vote (i.e., shareholders may either vote “for” or “withhold” from voting for a director) at an annual meeting of shareholders. The ABCA states that a corporation shall have one or more directors but a reporting issuer whose shares are held by more than one person shall have not fewer than three directors, at least two of whom are not officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates.


Pursuant to the majority voting policy of the Company (the "Majority Voting Policy"), if any director nominee receives a number of votes "withheld" from his or her election equal to or greater than votes "for" such election, such nominee shall submit his or her offer of resignation to the lead director or Chair of the Board. The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee ("CGCC") will review such resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board of whether or not to accept it. The CGCC is expected to recommend acceptance of the resignation offer to the Board, and the Board is expected to accept such recommendation and resignation offer, except where exceptional circumstances would warrant the director nominee continuing to serve on the Board. The director nominee will not participate in any deliberations of the CGCC or the Board with respect to his or her resignation offer. Within 90 days of receiving the resignation offer, the Board will make a decision and issue a press release announcing whether it has accepted or rejected the director nominee's resignation. The resignation will be effective only when accepted by the Board. The Majority Voting Policy of the Company does not apply to contested elections in which the number of director nominees for election is greater than the number of director positions on the Board.

Vacancies on Board of Directors. Under the ABCA, a vacancy among the directors created by the removal of a director may be filled at the meeting of shareholders at which the director is removed. The ABCA also allows a vacancy on the Board to be filled by a quorum of directors, except when the vacancy is a result of an increase in the number or minimum number of directors or a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors required by the articles of amalgamation. In addition, the ABCA and our articles of amalgamation provide that the directors may, between annual general meetings, appoint one or more additional directors of the corporation to serve until the next annual general meeting, so long as the number of additional directors shall not at any time exceed one-third of the number of directors who held office at the expiration of the last annual general meeting of the Corporation.

Removal of Directors; Terms of Directors. Under the ABCA, provided that the articles of amalgamation do not provide for cumulative voting, shareholders of the corporation may, by ordinary resolution passed at a special meeting, remove any director or directors from office. If holders of a class or series of shares have the exclusive right to elect one or more directors, a director elected by them may only be removed by an "ordinary resolution" at a meeting of the shareholders of that class or series.

An "ordinary resolution" means a resolution (i) passed by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of that resolution, or (ii) signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution.

Fiduciary Duty of Directors. Directors of a corporation existing under the ABCA have fiduciary obligations to the corporation. The ABCA requires directors and officers of an Alberta corporation, in exercising their powers and discharging their duties, to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Under the ABCA and pursuant to our by-laws, we will indemnify present and former directors and officers against all costs, charges and expenses, including any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment that is reasonably incurred by the person in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the person is made a party because he or she acted as a director or officer of the corporation. In order to qualify for indemnification such directors or officers must:

  • have acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; and
  • in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding enforced by a monetary penalty, have had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

We carry liability insurance for our and our subsidiary's officers and directors, as permitted by our by-laws and the ABCA.

The ABCA also provides that such persons are entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any such proceeding if the person: (i) was substantially successful on the merits in the person's defense of the action or proceeding; (ii) otherwise meets the qualifications for indemnity described above; and (iii) is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.


Dissent or Dissenters’ Appraisal Rights. The ABCA provides that shareholders of a corporation are entitled to exercise dissent rights and be paid by the corporation the fair value of their shares in connection with specified matters, including, among others:

  • an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting or constraining the issue or transfer of shares;
  • an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, change or remove any restrictions on the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on;
  • an amalgamation with another corporation (other than with certain affiliated corporations);
  • a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction; and
  • a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business.

However, a shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles of the corporation is effected by a court order approving a reorganization or by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy.

Oppression Remedy. The ABCA provides an oppression remedy that enables a court to make any order, whether interim or final, to rectify matters that are oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregard the interests of any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation if an application is made to a court by a “complainant.”

A “complainant” with respect to a corporation means any of the following:

  • a present or former Registered Holder or beneficial owner of a security of the corporation or any of its affiliates;
  • a present or former director or officer of the corporation or of any of its affiliates;
  • a creditor in respect of an application under a derivative action; or
  • any other person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make the application.

The oppression remedy provides the court with very broad and flexible powers to intervene in corporate affairs to protect shareholders and other complainants. While conduct that is in breach of fiduciary duties of directors or that is contrary to the legal right of a complainant will normally trigger the court’s discretion under the oppression remedy, the exercise of that discretion does not depend on a finding of a breach of legal rights.

Derivative Actions. Under the ABCA, a complainant may also apply to the court for permission to bring an action in the name of, and on behalf of, the corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or to intervene in an existing action to which the corporation or its subsidiary is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on the corporation’s behalf or on behalf of its subsidiary. Under the ABCA, no action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless a court is satisfied that:

  • the complainant has given reasonable notice to the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary of the complainant’s intention to apply to the court if the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary do not bring, diligently prosecute, defend or discontinue the action;
  • the complainant is acting in good faith; and
  • it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.

Under the ABCA, the court in a derivative action may make any order it sees fit, including an order: (i) authorizing the complainant to control the conduct of the lawsuit, (ii) directing payments to former and present shareholders, and (iii) requiring the corporation to pay reasonable legal fees incurred by the complainant.

Examination of Corporate Records. Under the ABCA, upon payment of a prescribed fee, a person is entitled, during usual business hours, to examine certain corporate records, such as the securities register and a list of shareholders, and to make copies of or extracts from such documents.

Advance Notice for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations. The ABCA permits certain eligible shareholders and beneficial owners of shares to submit shareholder proposals to the Company, which proposals may be included in the Company’s management information circular and proxy statement. To be considered for inclusion in the management information circular and proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, any such shareholder proposal under the ABCA must be submitted to the Company at least 90 days before the anniversary date of the last annual meeting of shareholders.

Additionally, our current by-laws include advance notice provisions. These provisions set deadlines for a certain number of days before a shareholders’ meeting for a shareholder to notify the Company of his, her or its intention to nominate one or more directors, and explains the information that must be included with the notice for it to be valid. Such shareholder nominations generally must be provided to the Company (i) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 days before the date of such annual meeting and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of shareholders, no later than the close of business on the 15th day after the date on which the first public filing or announcement of the date of such special meeting was made; except that, in either instance, if notice-and-access is used for delivery of proxy related materials and the date on which the first public filing or announcement of the date of such meeting was made in respect of such meeting is not less than 50 days prior to the date of the applicable meeting, the notice must be received not less than 40 days before the date of the applicable meeting. The notice must set forth specific information, as further described in our by-laws. This requirement is in addition to those set forth in the regulations adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any applicable laws or regulations of Canada, including the ABCA.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect. Certain of the foregoing provisions of DIRTT’s articles of amalgamation and by-laws, together with the provisions of the ABCA and the Rights Agreement (as defined herein) as summarized below, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or the removal of existing management, of deterring potential acquirors from making an offer to DIRTT’s shareholders and of limiting any opportunity to realize premiums over prevailing market prices for DIRTT’s Common Shares in connection therewith. This could be the case notwithstanding that a majority of DIRTT’s shareholders might benefit from such a change in control or offer.

Shareholder Rights Plan. On March 22, 2024, the Board approved and adopted a shareholder rights plan agreement by and between DIRTT and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as rights agent (the “Original Rights Agreement”), and subsequently adopted an amended and restated shareholder rights plan agreement by and between DIRTT and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as rights agent, effective August 2, 2024 (as amended and restated, the “Rights Agreement”). The Rights Agreement was ratified, confirmed and approved by our shareholders on September 20, 2024.

The Rights Agreement was adopted to help ensure that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly and equally in connection with any unsolicited take-over bid or other acquisition of control of the Company (including by way of a “creeping” take-over bid). The Rights Agreement was not adopted in response to any specific proposal to acquire control of the Company, and the Board is not aware of any pending or potential take-over bid for the Company.

The Rights. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, one right (a “Right”) was issued and attached to each Common Share as of the close of business on April 1, 2024, and one Right has been and will be issued and attach to each additional Common Share issued by the Company after such time. The issuance of the Rights will not change the manner in which shareholders trade their Common Shares.

Separation of Rights; Exercisability. Subject to certain exceptions, the Rights become exercisable and trade separately from the Common Shares only upon the “Separation Time,” which occurs upon the earlier of:


  • the close of business on the tenth trading day after the first date of public announcement that a person has become an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Rights Agreement);
  • the close of business on the tenth trading day following the date of the commencement of or first public announcement of the current intention of any person (other than the Company or any subsidiary of the Company) to commence a Take-over Bid (as defined in the Rights Agreement) (other than a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid (as defined in the Rights Agreement)); or
  • the close of business on the tenth trading day following the date on which a Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid ceases to qualify as such.

Subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Rights issued under the Rights Agreement become exercisable upon the Separation Time. The Rights Agreement will not be triggered solely by the holding of 20% or more of the Common Shares by a shareholder and its affiliates, associates and joint actors prior to the date of the Rights Agreement, as any such person would be “grandfathered” subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement; however, subject to certain exceptions in the Rights Agreement, subsequent purchases of Common Shares by a “grandfathered” person after the effective date of the Rights Agreement may cause such person to become an Acquiring Person pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. Following a transaction that results in a person becoming an Acquiring Person, the Rights entitle the holder thereof (other than the Acquiring Person and certain related persons) to purchase Common Shares at a significant discount to the market price at that time.

Under the Rights Agreement, a “Permitted Bid” is a take-over bid made in compliance with the Canadian take-over bid regime. Among other requirements, a Permitted Bid is a take-over bid that is made to all shareholders, that is open for 105 days (or such shorter period as is permitted under the Canadian take-over bid regime) and that contains certain conditions, including that no Common Shares will be taken up and paid for unless more than 50% of the Common Shares that are held by independent shareholders are tendered to the take-over bid.

Effective Date; Expiration Time. The Original Rights Agreement was effective as of March 22, 2024, and the Rights Agreement was effective August 2, 2024 and was ratified, approved and confirmed by DIRTT’s shareholders on September 20, 2024. The Rights Agreement has an initial term of three years.

Flip-in Event. In the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person (a “Flip-in Event”), each holder of a Right (other than any Acquiring Person and certain related parties, whose Rights automatically become null and void) will have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Shares having a value equal to two times the purchase price of the Right.

Anti-dilution Adjustments. The purchase price payable, and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution, including in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or issuance of, the Common Shares.

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the purchase price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the purchase price.

Redemption; Exchange. In general, the Board may, with the prior approval of the holders of the Voting Shares (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or of the holders of Rights, elect to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.00001 per Right (subject to adjustment) at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event.

No Rights as Shareholder. Until a Right is exercised, its holder will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

Amendment of the Rights Agreement. The Company may, with the prior approval of holders of Voting Shares (or the holders of Rights if the Separation Time has occurred), supplement, amend, vary or delete any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement. Any such amendment shall be effective from the date it is adopted by the Board, until it is confirmed or rejected by the holders of Voting Shares or Rights, as applicable. If such amendment is rejected by the shareholders, then such amendment shall cease to be effective from and after the termination of the meeting. The Company may make amendments to the Rights Agreement at any time without the prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares (or the holders of Rights if the Separation Time has occurred) to correct any clerical or typographical


error or, subject to confirmation at the next meeting of shareholders, make amendments which are required to maintain the validity of the Rights Agreement due to changes in any applicable legislation, regulations or rules.

Other Important Ownership and Exchange Controls

There is no limitation imposed by applicable Alberta law or by our articles of amalgamation on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote our Common Shares, other than as discussed herein.

Competition Act. Limitations on the ability to acquire and hold our Common Shares may be imposed by the Competition Act (Canada) (the "Competition Act"). This legislation permits the Commissioner of Competition (the "Commissioner") to review any acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, including through the acquisition of shares, of control over or of a significant interest in the Company. This legislation grants the Commissioner jurisdiction to seek a remedial order, including an order to prohibit the acquisition or require divestitures, from the Canadian Competition Tribunal on the basis that the acquisition would, or would be likely to, substantially prevent or lessen competition. The Commissioner may do so for up to three years after the acquisition has been substantially completed, unless the acquisition is subject to notification, in which case the period is one year after the acquisition has been substantially completed.

This legislation also requires any person who intends to acquire more than 20% of our voting shares to file a notification with the Canadian Competition Bureau if certain financial thresholds are exceeded. Where a person (and such person's affiliates) already holds, in the aggregate, more than 20% of all of our voting shares, a notification must be filed if the acquisition of additional shares would bring such person's (and its affiliates) holdings to over 50% if certain financial thresholds are exceeded. Where a notification is required, unless an exemption is available, the Competition Act prohibits completion of the acquisition until the expiration of the applicable statutory waiting period, unless compliance with the waiting period has been waived or the Commissioner has issued an advance ruling certificate under section 102 of the Competition Act. The Commissioner's review of a notifiable transaction for substantive competition law considerations may take longer than the statutory waiting period.

Investment Canada Act. ("ICA") The ICA requires any person that is non-Canadian (as defined in the ICA) who acquires "control" (as defined in the ICA) of an existing Canadian business to file a pre-closing application for review with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, where prescribed financial thresholds are exceeded. The ICA generally prohibits the implementation of a reviewable transaction unless, after review, the relevant minister is satisfied that the acquisition is likely to be of a net benefit to Canada. Where the acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian does not meet the prescribed review thresholds, the investor is required, subject to certain exceptions, to file a notification no later than 30 days after the completion of the transaction.

Under the ICA, an investment in our Common Shares by a non-Canadian that is a private sector "trade agreement investor," including a United States investor, would be reviewable only if it were an investment to acquire control of our business pursuant to the ICA and the enterprise value of our business (as determined pursuant to the ICA and the regulations thereto) were to be equal to or greater than C$2.079 billion. An investment in our Common Shares by a non-Canadian that is a private sector World Trade Organization member country investor would be reviewable only if the enterprise value of our business (as determined pursuant to the ICA and the regulations thereto) were to be equal to or greater than C$1.386 billion. Different rules apply if the non-Canadian investor is a "state owned enterprise" (as determined pursuant to the ICA and the regulations thereto). The ICA contains various rules to determine whether an investment is an acquisition of control of a Canadian business. For example, for purposes of determining whether an investor acquires control of a corporation by acquiring its shares, the following general rules apply, subject to certain exceptions: (i) the acquisition of a majority of the voting shares of a corporation is deemed to be acquisition of control of that corporation, (ii) the acquisition of less than a majority, but more than one-third, of the voting shares of a corporation is presumed to be acquisition of control of that corporation unless it can be established that, on the acquisition, the corporation is not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares, and (iii) the acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of a corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control of that corporation.

Under the national security regime in the ICA, the Canadian federal government may undertake a discretionary review of a broader range of investments by a non-Canadian to determine whether such investments by a non-Canadian could be "injurious to national security". No financial threshold applies to a national security review. Review on


national security grounds is at the discretion of the Canadian federal government and may occur on a pre- or post-closing basis.

There are limited exemptions to a review of an acquisition of our Common Shares under the ICA, subject to the Canadian Government’s discretion to conduct a national security review, including, generally: the acquisition of our Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities; and the acquisition of control of our business in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the ICA.

Other. There is no law, governmental decree or regulation in Alberta that restricts the export or import of capital or that would affect the remittance of dividends (if any) or other payments by us to non-resident holders of our Common Shares, other than withholding and other tax requirements.

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Shares is Computershare Trust Company of Canada, located at 8th Floor, 100 University Ave., Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1.

ARTICLE 2 OBLIGATIONS

2.1 Obligations of the Corporation

(a) General Indemnity – The Corporation will, to the fullest extent permitted by law on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit, including to the extent permitted under the Act, exonerate, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party’s respective heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of the Indemnified Party (each of which is included in any reference hereinafter made to the Indemnified Party) harmless from and against, and will pay to the Indemnified Party, any and all Losses which the Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain, incur or be required to pay in respect of any Claim to which a director or officer is made a party by reason of being a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or in similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation’s request.

(b) Conditions – The indemnity provided for in Section 2.1(a) will only be available if the Indemnified Party:

(i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Corporation or as the case may be, to the best interest of an Entity for which the Indemnified Party acted as a director, officer or in a similar capacity at the Corporation’s request; and

(ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful.

The Indemnified Party shall be presumed to have fulfilled the foregoing conditions unless it is determined by the Court that the Indemnified Party has not (and the burden of proof shall be on the Corporation to rebut such presumption).

(c) Derivative Claims – The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by law on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit, provided the Indemnified Party fulfills the conditions in Section 2.1(b), with the approval of the Court if such approval is required exonerate, indemnify and hold the


Exhibit 10.42

Indemnified Party harmless, and advance moneys under Section 2.1(k) to the Indemnified Party, in respect of a Claim by or on behalf of the Corporation or other entity to procure a judgment in the Corporation’s favour to which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or in similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation’s request. The Corporation will advance or reimburse, as applicable, all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Indemnified Party’s participation in such Claim as provided in this Section 2.1(c). The Corporation shall pay to the Indemnified Party, if applicable, a reasonable per diem amount for time spent in connection with a Claim under this Section 2.1(c) as provided in Section 2.1(l).

(d) Indemnity as of Right – Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, provided the Indemnified Party fulfills the conditions in Section 2.1(b), the Corporation shall be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of any Claim to which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or in similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation’s request, if after the final disposition of such Claim, the Indemnified Party has not been reimbursed for those Losses.

(e) Incidental and Additional Expenses – The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by law on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party for (i) the Indemnified Party’s reasonable and necessary travel, lodging or accommodation costs, charges or expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in connection with a Claim where such Claim is subject to indemnification hereunder; (ii) the Indemnified Party’s reasonable fees and Expenses incurred in connection with efforts to recover under any directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained by the Corporation; and (iii) the Indemnified Party’s reasonable fees and Expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of, or claims for breaches of, any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Witness Expenses – The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by law on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable and necessary Expenses incurred by Indemnified Party, including a reasonable per diem amount as provided in Section 2.1(l), in connection with time spent in the investigation or as a witness for the Corporation or an Entity with respect to any Claim, by reason of the Indemnified Party being a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or in similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation’s request.

(g) Specific Indemnity for Statutory Obligations – Without limiting the generality of the preceding Sections 2.1(a) through 2.1(f) of this Agreement, the Corporation agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit, to exonerate, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses arising by operation of statute and incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnified Party in relation to the affairs of the Corporation in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director or officer thereof, including all statutory obligations to creditors, employees, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, and any government or any agency or division of any government,


Exhibit 10.42

whether federal, provincial, state, regional or municipal, or which in any way involve the business or affairs of the Corporation or an Entity for which the Indemnified Party acted as a director, officer or similar capacity at the Corporation's request, provided that the indemnity provided for in this Section 2.1(g) will be available unless it is determined by the Court that the Indemnified Party has not fulfilled the conditions in Section 2.1(b) above.

(h) Change of Law – In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of an Alberta corporation to indemnify a director or officer, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnified Party shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change after that date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the rights of an Alberta corporation to indemnify a director or officer, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' right and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 2.9.

(i) Partial Indemnification – If the Indemnified Party is determined by the Court to be entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Losses incurred in respect of any Claim but not for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnified Party for the portion thereof to which the Indemnified Party is determined by the Court to be so entitled.

(j) Indemnification for Losses of an Indemnified Party Who Is Wholly or Partly Successful – To the extent the Indemnified Party is a party to (or a participant in) a Claim and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defence of any Claim or any issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, exonerate, indemnify, and hold the Indemnified Party harmless against all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party therewith. If the Indemnified Party is not wholly successful in such Claim but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all the issues or matters in such Claim, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, exonerate, indemnify, and hold the Indemnified Party harmless against all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with each successfully resolved issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 2.1(j), without limitation, the termination of any issue or matter in a Claim by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such issue or matter.

(k) Advance of Expenses – The Corporation shall, at the request of the Indemnified Party, to the maximum extent permitted under the Act or otherwise by law on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit, promptly: (i) reimburse the Indemnified Party for all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in relation to a Claim claimed by the Indemnified Party to be subject to indemnification hereunder; and (ii) pay reasonable and customary advance payments and costs and expenses to service providers of the Indemnified Party; in each case, prior to any settlement or resolution of such Claim to enable the Indemnified Party to properly investigate, defend or appeal such Claim. The Corporation shall pay such advances within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written request from the Indemnified Party requesting such payment or payments from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of a Claim. If it is ultimately determined in a final judgment


Exhibit 10.42

of a court of competent jurisdiction or final arbitration award of an applicable arbitration proceeding that has become non-appealable that the Indemnified Party did not fulfill the conditions in Section 2.1(b) or that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to be fully so indemnified, such advance, or the appropriate portion thereof, upon written notice of such determination being given by the Corporation to the Indemnified Party detailing the basis for such determination, shall be repayable on demand without interest. The Indemnified Party shall not be required to provide collateral or otherwise secure the Indemnified Party's agreement to repay described in the prior sentence. If and to the extent the Indemnified Party makes any such repayment to the Corporation, the obligation of the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnified Party will continue in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(l) Per Diem Charge – In addition to any other amount payable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation a per diem payment (the “Per Diem Charge”) for time spent with respect to any Claim for which the Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to any one of the foregoing provisions of Section 2.1 of this Agreement. For directors, the Per Diem Charge shall be an amount equal to US$350 per hour. For officers, the Per Diem Charge shall be zero if the Indemnified Party is still employed on a full time basis by the Corporation at the time the Per Diem Charge is payable or has been terminated for cause by the Corporation, and the Per Diem Charge shall be in an amount equal to US$350 per hour if the Indemnified Party is not employed on a full time basis by the Corporation at the time the Per Diem Charge is payable other than as a result of termination for cause.

(m) Taxes – For greater certainty, a Claim subject to indemnification pursuant to Article 2 of this Agreement shall include any Taxes which the Indemnified Party may be subject to or suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of, arising out of or referable to any indemnification of the Indemnified Party by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that any amount required to be paid with respect to such Taxes shall be payable by the Corporation only upon the Indemnified Party remitting or being required to remit any amount payable on account of such Taxes.

(n) Right to Access – The Indemnified Party (and its legal representatives) is entitled to have access to and inspect the Corporation’s records and documents which are under its control and which may be reasonably necessary in order to defend the Indemnified Party against a Claim which has been or which the Indemnified Party reasonably anticipates may be made against the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party (and its legal representatives) maintains all such information in the strictest confidence except to the extent necessary for the defence of the Indemnified Party. The Corporation shall provide the Indemnified Party (and its legal representatives) with access to the relevant documents and records during the regular business hours of the Corporation as soon as practicable following a request for such access by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party (and its legal representatives) shall be entitled to make and receive copies (including electronic copies) of any of such records and documents of the Corporation at the cost of the Corporation and such copies shall be provided as soon as practicable following a request therefor by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party is the subject of or is implicated in any way during the proceeding of any Claim, the Corporation will share with the Indemnified Party (and its legal


Exhibit 10.42

representatives) any information that it has turned over to any third parties in connection therewith.

(o) Enforcement – The Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and other rights under this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by the Indemnified Party in a “court” (as defined in the Act) and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any adverse determination by or on behalf of the Corporation’s board of directors and no such determination shall create a presumption that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. In any such action, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that indemnification is not required or permitted under this Agreement.

(p) Court Approvals – If the payment of an indemnity under any provision of this Agreement requires any court or other approvals, the Corporation shall make the application or seek such other required approvals and use reasonable best efforts to obtain such order or other required approvals, including paying the costs of such application or seeking such other required approvals and paying the expenses of the Indemnified Party, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in connection with any such order or approval process. If the Corporation fails to do so, the Indemnified Party may apply to the Court or other applicable court, agency or body for an order or seek such other required approvals approving the indemnity of the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, and the Corporation shall pay the expenses of the Indemnified Party, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in connection with any such order or approval process.

2.2 Notice of Proceedings

(a) The Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing to the Corporation as soon as practicable upon being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Claim which may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, and the Corporation agrees to give the Indemnified Party notice in writing as soon as practicable upon it being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Claim which may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement. Such notice shall include a description of the Claim or threatened Claim, a summary of the facts giving rise to the Claim or threatened Claim and, if possible, an estimate of any potential liability arising under the Claim or threatened Claim. Failure by either party to so notify the other of any Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from liability under this Agreement except to the extent that the failure materially prejudices the Corporation.

(b) If, at the time the Corporation gives the Indemnified Party notice in connection with Section 2.2(a), a Policy is in effect with respect to the Indemnified Party, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the applicable Claim to its insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in such Policy. The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such Policy.

Promptly after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party of any Claim or threatened Claim (other than a Claim by or on behalf of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favour against the Indemnified Party), the Corporation may by notice in writing to the Indemnified Party, and upon the written request of the Indemnified Party the Corporation shall, in a timely manner assume conduct of the defence thereof and retain counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party who is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to represent the Indemnified Party in respect of the Claim. On delivery of such notice by the Corporation, other than pursuant to Section 2.4, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any fees and disbursements of counsel the Indemnified Party may subsequently incur with respect to the same matter. If the Corporation assumes conduct of the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party hereby consents to the conduct thereof and of any action taken by the Corporation, in good faith, in connection therewith, and the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate in such defence including the provision of documents, attending examinations for discovery, making affidavits, meeting with counsel, testifying and divulging to the Corporation all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the Claim.

2.4 Separate Counsel

In connection with any Claim or other matter for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnity under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and consultants of the Indemnified Party's choosing and to participate in and approve any settlement by the Corporation of any Claim involving or affecting in any manner whatsoever the Indemnified Party, and provided that:

(a) the employment of such counsel and consultants of the Indemnified Party's choosing have been previously approved by the Corporation, acting reasonably; or (b) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnified Party in defending such Claim; then all fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel and consultants shall be at the Corporation's expense and shall be paid within ten (10) days of invoices being submitted to the Corporation.

2.5 Presumption of Indemnification

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by the Court of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnified Party has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation that the Indemnified Party has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defence to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) If the Corporation shall not have made a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and the Indemnified Party


Exhibit 10.42

shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(c) The knowledge or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Entity shall not be imputed to the Indemnified Party for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

2.6 Presumption of Good Faith

(a) For the purposes of any determination of good faith under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if the Indemnified Party’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or an Entity, including applicable financial statements, or on information supplied to the Indemnified Party by officers of the Corporation or an Entity (other than the Indemnified Party) in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel of the Corporation, an Entity, their respective board of directors, counsel selected by any committee of their respective board of directors or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or an Entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, investment banker, compensation consultant or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation, an Entity, their respective board of directors or any committee of their respective board of directors or by any other person as to matters the Indemnified Party reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnified Party may be deemed to have fulfilled the conditions in Section 2.1(b) or met any other applicable standard of conduct.

(b) Unless the Court or a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise has held or decided that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be fully or partially indemnified under this Agreement, the termination of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceedings by judgement, order, settlement, conviction or similar or other result or upon a plea of “no contest” or the equivalent will not, of itself: (i) create a presumption for the purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or Entity; (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, that the Indemnified Party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful; or (iii) that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity under this Agreement.

2.7 Settlement of a Claim

For greater certainty, no admission of liability and no settlement of any Claim in a manner adverse to the Indemnified Party shall be made without the consent of the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. No admission of liability shall be made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Corporation and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim made without its consent, acting reasonably.


Exhibit 10.42

2.8 Other Rights and Remedies Unaffected

The indemnification and advance payment provided in this Agreement shall not derogate from or exclude any other rights to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled under any provision of the Act or otherwise at law, the articles or by-laws of the Corporation, any applicable policy of insurance, guarantee or third-party indemnity, any vote of shareholders of the Corporation, or otherwise, both as to matters arising out of the Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or as to matters arising out of any other capacity in which the Indemnified Party may act for or on behalf of the Corporation.

2.9 Exceptions

Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

(a) Claims Initiated by the Indemnified Party – To indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnified Party with respect to any proceeding or Claim initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnified Party and not by way of defence, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any statute, the articles or by-laws of the Corporation or otherwise but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Corporation in specific cases if the Corporation’s board of directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit.

(b) Frivolous Proceedings – To indemnify the Indemnified Party for any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to any proceeding instituted by the Indemnified Party to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if the Court or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnified Party in such proceedings were frivolous.

(c) Insured Claims – To make any payment in connection with any Claim made against the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnified Party has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, the articles or by-laws of the Corporation, contract or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. If the Corporation makes any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party in connection with any particular expense indemnified hereunder and the Indemnified Party has already received or thereafter receives, and is entitled to retain, duplicate payments in reimbursement of the same particular expense, then the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Corporation in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount of such duplicate payment; and (ii) the full amount of such indemnification payment made by the Corporation.

(d) Claims for Unlawful Profits – To indemnify the Indemnified Party for the disgorgement of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnified Party of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or any successor statute) or any other applicable securities law or Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party for Claims in connection with such payment.

(e) Other Indemnification – To indemnify the Indemnified Party for expenses for which the Indemnified Party is indemnified by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Not Lawful – To indemnify the Indemnified Party if (and to the extent that) a final decision by the Court, a court of competent jurisdiction, or an arbitration body having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.


Exhibit 10.42

2.10 Articles and By-Laws

The Corporation agrees that the articles and by-laws of the Corporation in effect on the date hereof shall not be amended to reduce, limit, hinder or delay: (a) the rights of the Indemnified Party granted hereunder; or (b) the ability of the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnified Party as required hereunder. The Corporation further agrees that it shall exercise the powers granted to it under the articles and by-laws of the Corporation and applicable law to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent possible as required by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3 INSURANCE

3.1 The Policy

The Corporation shall purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and maintained, while the Indemnified Party remains a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or a similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation’s request, and in accordance with Section 3.6, for a period of six (6) years after the Indemnified Party ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation, a Policy including Side “A” difference in conditions coverage, for the benefit of the Indemnified Party containing such customary terms and conditions and in such amounts as are available to the Corporation on reasonable commercial terms, having regard to the nature and size of the business and operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries from time to time. In all such Policies, the Indemnified Party, by reference to the Indemnified Party’s position or otherwise, shall be named as an insured. The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause its insurer to pay, on behalf of the Indemnified Party, all amounts payable as a result of such Claims in accordance with the terms of such policies.

3.2 Variation of Policy

So long as the Indemnified Party is a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation’s request, and, in accordance with Section 3.6, for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Corporation shall not seek to amend or discontinue the Policy or allow the Policy to lapse.

3.3 Run-Off Coverage

If the Policy is discontinued for any reason, the Corporation shall purchase, maintain and administer, or cause to be purchased, maintained and administered for a period of six (6) years after such discontinuance, insurance for the benefit of the Indemnified Party (the “Run-Off Coverage”), on such terms as the Corporation then maintains in existence for its directors and officers, to the extent permitted by law and provided such Run-Off Coverage is available on commercially acceptable terms and premiums (as determined by the Corporation’s board of directors acting reasonably). The Run-Off Coverage shall provide coverage only in respect of events occurring prior to the discontinuance of the Policy.


Exhibit 10.42

3.4 Insurable Events

If an insurable event occurs, the Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnified Party as agreed hereto regardless of whether the Corporation receives the insurance proceeds. The Indemnified Party is entitled to full indemnification as agreed hereto notwithstanding any deductible amounts or policy limits contained in any such insurance policy.

3.5 Exclusion of Indemnity

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any Losses which have been paid to, by or on behalf of, the Indemnified Party under the Policy or any other applicable policy of insurance maintained by the Corporation.

3.6 Post Office Directors and Officers Insurance

Following the Indemnified Party ceasing to be a director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation's request, for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation shall continue to purchase and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance, for the benefit of the Indemnified Party for a minimum of six (6) years, such that the Indemnified Party's insurance coverage is, during that time, the same as any insurance coverage the Corporation purchases and maintains for the benefit of its then current directors and officers, from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (a) liability insurance coverage for former directors and officers is no longer available; or (b) it is no longer industry practice among responsible companies to procure liability insurance for former directors and officers and the cost to the Corporation to do so would be commercially unreasonable (as determined by the board of directors acting reasonably), the Corporation shall be relieved of its obligation to procure liability insurance coverage for former directors and officers; provided that the Corporation procures such level of insurance coverage, if any, as is available for former directors and officers at a commercially reasonable rate and adopts comparable measures to protect its former directors and officers in the circumstances as are adopted by other responsible companies. The onus is on the Corporation to establish that the circumstances described in the previous sentence exist.

3.7 Deductible under Directors and Officers Insurance

If for any reason whatsoever, any directors' and officers' liability insurer asserts that the Indemnified Party is subject to a deductible under any existing or future Policy purchased and maintained by the Corporation for the benefit of the Indemnified Party, the Corporation shall pay the deductible for and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

3.8 Notice

The Corporation agrees to provide notice of any material changes in the insurance coverage referred to in Article 3 during the period in which the Indemnified Party serves as director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation's request and for a period of six (6) years thereafter.

3.9 Most Favoured Nation

The Corporation agrees that if the Corporation enters into any indemnity agreement or similar arrangement with any person who is, or becomes, a director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or


Exhibit 10.42

similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation's request, and such agreement or arrangement contains any provision which is more favourable to the other party to such agreement than the provisions of this Agreement are to the Indemnified Party then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall provide written notice of such provision to the Indemnified Party (which shall include a copy of such provision). Upon such notice, unless the Indemnified Party elects otherwise within five (5) days of receipt of such notice, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to conform the provisions of this Agreement to such more favourable provision.

ARTICLE 4 MISCELLANEOUS

4.1 Corporation and Indemnified Party to Cooperate

The Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall, from time to time, provide such information and cooperate with the other, as the other may reasonably request, in respect of all matters under this Agreement.

4.2 Effective Time

This Agreement shall be deemed to have effect as and from the first date that the Indemnified Party became a director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation's request.

4.3 Insolvency

The liability of the Corporation under this Agreement shall not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or released by reason of the discharge or release of the Indemnified Party in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding of creditors.

4.4 Multiple Proceedings

No action or proceeding brought or instituted under this Agreement and no recovery pursuant thereto shall be a bar or defence to any further action or proceeding which may be brought under this Agreement.

(b) The obligations of the Corporation will not terminate or be released upon the Indemnified Party resigning or ceasing to act as a director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation's request.

4.6 Limitation of Actions and Release of Claims

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no legal action shall be brought and no course of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Corporation against the Indemnified Party after the expiration of two years from the date of the Indemnified Party's ceasing to act as a director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or similar capacity of an Entity at the Corporation's request and the Corporation agrees that any claim or cause of action of the Corporation shall be extinguished and the Indemnified Party be


Exhibit 10.42

deemed released therefrom absolutely unless asserted by the commencement of legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction within such two yearperiod.

ARTICLE 5

CONTRIBUTION

5.1. Contribution Payment

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, whether or not the indemnification provided in Article 2 is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Claim in which the Corporation is jointly liable with the Indemnified Party (or would be if joined in such Claim), the Corporation shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Claim without requiring the Indemnified Party to contribute to such payment, and the Corporation hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against the Indemnified Party. The Corporation shall not enter into any settlement of any Claim in which the Corporation is jointly liable with the Indemnified Party (or would be if joined in such Claim) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against the Indemnified Party.

(b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Corporation set forth in the preceding paragraph, if, for any reason, the Indemnified Party shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Claim in which the Corporation is jointly liable with the Indemnified Party (or would be if joined in such Claim), the Corporation shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by the Indemnified Party in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation, other than the Indemnified Party, who are jointly liable with the Indemnified Party (or would be if joined in such Claim), on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such Claim arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation other than the Indemnified Party who are jointly liable with the Indemnified Party (or would be if joined in such Claim), on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered.

(c) The Corporation hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to fully indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Corporation, other than the Indemnified Party, who may be jointly liable with the Indemnified Party.

(d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law and without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Corporation set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5.1, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to the Indemnified Party for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount incurred by the Indemnified Party, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in


Exhibit 10.42

settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Claim in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Corporation and the Indemnified Party as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Claim; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Corporation (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and the Indemnified Party in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

5.2 Relative Fault

The relative fault of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and of the Corporation and any and all other parties (including officers and directors of the Corporation other than the Indemnified Party) who may be at fault with respect to such matter shall be determined (i) by reference to the relative fault of the Indemnified Party as determined by the court or other governmental agency assessing the contribution amounts or (ii) to the extent such court or other governmental agency does not apportion relative fault, by independent counsel agreed to by both the Corporation and the Indemnified Party after giving effect to, among other things, the degree of which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary, the degree to which their conduct is active or passive, the degree of the knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to prevent or correct the subject matter of the Claim and other relevant equitable considerations of each party. The Corporation and the Indemnified Party agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.2.

ARTICLE 6

GENERAL

For clarity, any further enforcement actions shall remain subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 1.

  2.

RECITALS:

A. Borrowers desire to obtain the Loans and other financial accommodations from Lender and Lender is willing to provide the Loans and accommodations all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

B. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule A shall govern. All schedules, attachments, addenda and exhibits hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, constitute but a single agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1 – AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1 Loans

(a) Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date: (i) Lender agrees to make available to the Borrowers advances (each, a "Revolving Credit Advance") in $ based upon RBP or Term CORRA (subject to a minimum of $500,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon RBP, $1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon Term CORRA and in both cases in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) and subject to such limits as Lender may specify in U.S.$ based upon RBUSBR or the Term SOFR Rate (subject to a minimum of U.S.$500,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon RBUSBR, U.S.$1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon the Term SOFR Rate and in both cases in integral multiples of U.S.$100,000 in excess thereof) and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, subject to the Letter of Credit Sublimit, in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Borrowing Availability; and (ii) a Borrower may at its request from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow, and may cause Lender to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, under this Section 1.1.

(b) Borrowing. A Borrower shall request each Revolving Credit Advance by written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a "Notice of Borrowing") given no later than: (i) 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day of the proposed advance, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances to be made in $ based upon RBP and in U.S.$ based upon RBUSBR; and (ii) 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day of the proposed advance, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances to be made in $ based upon Term CORRA; and (iii) 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Business Day of the proposed advance and within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of the documents and information provided for in Section 4.1(a), in the case of Revolving Credit Advances to be made in U.S.$ based upon the Term SOFR Rate. Lender shall be fully protected under this Agreement in relying upon, and shall be entitled to rely upon: (i) any Notice of Borrowing believed by Lender to be genuine; and (ii) the assumption that the Persons making electronic requests or executing and delivering a Notice of Borrowing were duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Lender shall have actual knowledge to the contrary. As an accommodation to Borrowers, Lender may permit telephonic (which shall, promptly upon request be confirmed in writing by a Borrower), electronic, or facsimile requests for a Revolving Credit Advance and electronic or facsimile transmittal of instructions,


  • 2 -

authorizations, agreements or reports to Lender by Borrowers. Unless Borrowers specifically direct Lender in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic, facsimile or electronic communications from a Borrower, Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by Borrowers as a result of Lender's honouring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrowers, and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it.

(c) Borrowing Base Certificate. In making any Loan hereunder Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender by Borrowers and other information available to Lender. Lender shall be under no obligation to make any further Revolving Credit Advance or incur any other Obligation if Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender by the time specified in Section 4.1(a) or if an Event of Default shall be continuing.

(d) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall have the right to request, and Lender agrees to incur, the Letter of Credit Obligations for the account of Borrowers in accordance with Schedule C and for greater certainty, any amount advanced by Lender on account of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed a Loan and Revolving Credit Advance.

(e) Bank Products. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender may provide Bank Products to Borrowers in accordance with Schedule H.

(f) Overdrafts. The existence of any overdraft in any of the bank accounts maintained with Lender in consequence of Lender charging or debiting any amount as provided in Section 1.10 or any cheque or other item presented for payment in an amount greater than the available balance in such account, whether or not pursuant to any limit established by Lender in its sole, unfettered discretion (an “Overdraft”) shall be deemed to be a request for an advance hereunder and shall constitute a Loan and Revolving Credit Advance (being either an RBP based loan or an RBUSBR based loan, as the case may be) in the amount of such Overdraft. In addition to all other terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, Lender shall not, however, have any obligation to honour any Overdraft if such proposed Overdraft together with all other Overdrafts then outstanding should, in the aggregate, exceed $1,500,000, or the Equivalent Amount thereof in U.S.$.

(g) EDC Guaranteed Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall have the right to request, and Lender agrees to incur, the EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations in an aggregate amount of up to the EDC Guaranteed Maximum Amount, which shall be fully guaranteed by EDC pursuant to the EDC Guarantee, for the account of Borrowers in accordance with Schedule C (the “EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Facility”) and for greater certainty, any amount advanced by Lender on account of the EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed a Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Facility is available on a revolving basis and accordingly, the Borrowers may re-borrow the whole or any part of any EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Facility that is previously repaid. For greater certainty, any repayment made under the EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Facility shall not reduce the EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Facility.

1.2 Term and Prepayment

(a) Upon the Commitment Termination Date, the obligation of Lender to make Revolving Credit Advances, incur EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations and extend other credit hereunder shall immediately terminate and Borrowers shall pay to Lender in full, in cash:


  • 3 -

(i) all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; (ii) an amount sufficient to enable Lender to hold cash collateral as specified in Schedule C; and (iii) all other non-contingent Obligations due to Lender.

(b) If the aggregate Revolving Credit Loans shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Availability, then Borrowers shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loan in the amount of such excess.

(c) Borrowers shall have the right, at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender to: (i) terminate voluntarily Borrowers' right to receive or benefit from, and Lender's obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations; and (ii) prepay all of the Obligations; provided, however, that with respect to Revolving Credit Advances made based upon Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate prepaid by Borrowers prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrowers shall pay to Lender the amounts described in Section 1.14(c). Following receipt of such notice by Lender, the effective date of termination of the Revolving Credit Loan specified in such notice shall be deemed to be the Commitment Termination Date. If Borrowers exercise their right of termination and prepayment, or if Lender's obligation to make Loans is terminated for any reason prior to the Stated Expiry Date then in effect (including as a result of the occurrence of a Default), Borrowers shall pay to Lender the amounts (if any) described in Section 1.14(c).

1.3 Use of Proceeds

Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans: (i) to refinance on the Closing Date certain outstanding Indebtedness, if any, as provided in Section 2.1(b); (ii) for working capital and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The Borrowers agree not to request Loans solely for the purpose of accumulating and/or maintaining cash or cash equivalents in depository or investment accounts outside of their ordinary course of business.

1.4 Joint and Several

Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the term "Borrower" as used herein shall include DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. and each of them or either of them, as the context may require. Each Borrower acknowledges that (i) it is a co-borrower hereunder and shall be jointly and severally, with the other Borrower, directly and primarily liable to the Lender for the Obligations regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which the Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, (ii) each of the Obligations shall be secured by all of the Collateral, (iii) each Borrower shall have the obligations of co-maker and shall be primary obligors with respect to the Loans and the other Obligations, it being agreed that the Loans to each Borrower inure to the benefit of all Borrowers, and (iv) the Lender is relying on such joint and several liability of the Borrowers as co-makers in extending the Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any request, notice or other communication received by it from either Borrower on behalf of both Borrowers, and shall be entitled to treat its giving of any notice hereunder pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof as notice to each Borrower.

1.5 Interest

Borrowers shall pay interest to Lender on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances as follows: (i) at a floating per annum rate equal to the RBP plus the Applicable Margin in the case of RBP based loans; (ii) at a floating per annum rate equal to the RBUSBR plus the Applicable Margin in the case of RBUSBR based loans; (iii) at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Term CORRA plus the Applicable Margin in the case of Term CORRA Loans; and (iv) at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin in the case of Term SOFR Loans (in

each case, the "Advance Rate"). All computations of interest in respect of Loans made in $ based upon RBP or Adjusted Term CORRA or in U.S. $ based upon RBUSBR or the Term SOFR Rate and all calculations of the Letter of Credit Fee, shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366), as applicable, day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable and shall be calculated daily and compounded (if unpaid) in arrears on the last day of each calendar month with respect to Loans made in $ based upon RBP or in U.S. $ based upon RBUSBR and on each Interest Payment Date with respect to Loans made in $ based upon Adjusted Term CORRA. In the case of Loans made in U.S.$ based upon the Term SOFR Rate, interest on each advance will accrue daily on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable and shall be calculated daily and compounded (if unpaid) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Any change in RBP or RBUSBR shall be effective as of the opening of business on the Business Day such change takes place.

(a) Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrowers to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law or would result in a receipt by the Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lender under this section and thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(b) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances: (i) in arrears for the preceding calendar month on the first Business Day of each calendar month; (ii) on the Interest Payment Date, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate; (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date; and (iv) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Commitment Termination Date, upon demand by Lender.

(c) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Advance Rate and the Letter of Credit Fee shall in the discretion of Lender be increased by three percentage points (3%) per annum (such increased rate, the "Default Rate"), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest and Letter of Credit Fees, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(d) If any interest or any other payment (including Unused Line Fees and Collateral Monitoring Fees) to Lender under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Canadian Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of CORRA or Term CORRA, the Lender will have the right to make Canadian Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Canadian Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers of the effectiveness of any Canadian Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of CORRA or Term CORRA, as applicable.


  • 5 -

(f) Interest Rates. The Lender does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to RBP, RBUSBR, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Canadian Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, RBP, RBUSBR, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark or Canadian Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Canadian Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Lender and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of RBP, RBUSBR, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Lender may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain RBP, RBUSBR, Term CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark or Canadian Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.6 Continuation and Conversion Elections

(a) Borrowers may, upon irrevocable written notice to Lender in accordance with Section 1.6(b):

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBUSBR, to convert any such Revolving Credit Advance (or any part thereof in an amount not less than U.S.$1,000,000 or that is in an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000 in excess thereof) into a Revolving Credit Advance based upon the Term SOFR Rate or, as of any Business Day at the end of any Interest Period applicable thereto, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate, to convert any such Revolving Credit Advance (or any part thereof) into a Revolving Credit Advance based upon RBUSBR;

(ii) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBP, to convert any such Revolving Credit Advance (any part thereof in any amount not less than $1,000,000 or that is in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) into a Revolving Credit Advance based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or, as of any Business Day at the end of any Interest Period applicable thereto, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA, to convert any such Revolving Credit Advance (or any part thereof) into a Revolving Credit Advance based upon RBP;

(iii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than U.S.$500,000 or that is in an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000 in excess thereof); and


  • 6 -

(iv) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $500,000 or that is in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA, as applicable, is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or U.S.$1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate, such Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA, as applicable, shall automatically convert (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBUSBR and (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA, into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBP.

(b) Borrowers shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion ("Notice of Continuation/Conversion") in the form of Exhibit A to be received by Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted into or continued as Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA and at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted into or continued as Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate and otherwise by 12:00 p.m. on the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBP or RBUSBR.

(c) If by no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or by not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA, Borrowers have failed to deliver a Notice of Continuation/Conversion to Lender in respect of such Interest Period to be applicable to Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, and/or if such Notice of Continuation/Conversion would apply to a Term SOFR Rate Advance after the date that is one month prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBUSBR or Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term CORRA into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBP, effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(d) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Borrowers may not elect to have a Revolving Credit Advance converted or continued and Revolving Credit Advances during such period shall be based upon RBP or RBUSBR, as applicable.

(e) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Revolving Credit Advances, there may not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect hereunder unless consented to by Lender.

1.7 Cash Management System

On or prior to the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, Borrowers will establish and maintain the cash management system described in Schedule D. All payments in respect of the Collateral shall be made to or deposited in the Blocked Accounts described in Schedule D in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.8 Fees


  • 7 -

Each Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the Fees set forth in Schedule E.

1.9 Receipt of Payments; Taxes

Each Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.10) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes on the day when due in lawful money of Canada in immediately available funds to the Blocked Accounts, except as required by applicable law. If any Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payment to Lender under any Loan Document, then the amount payable to Lender shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings, Lender receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings been made. In addition but without duplication, each Credit Party shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable pursuant to this sentence) paid or payable by Lender in respect of any amount paid by Borrower under this Agreement, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses with respect thereto. For purposes of computing interest, Fees and determining Net Borrowing Availability, all payments shall be deemed received by Lender one (1) Business Day following receipt of immediately available funds in the Blocked Accounts.

1.10 Application and Allocation of Payments

Each Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable. Lender is authorized to, and at its option may (without prior notice or precondition and at any time or times), but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made Revolving Credit Advances on behalf of either Borrower, for: (a) payment of all Fees, expenses, indemnities, charges, costs, principal, interest, or other Obligations owing by such Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) the payment, performance or satisfaction of any of such Borrower's obligations with respect to preservation of the Collateral; or (c) any premium in whole or in part required in respect of any of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement, even if the making of any such Revolving Credit Advance causes the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to exceed the Borrowing Availability, and Borrower agrees to repay immediately, in cash, any amount by which the Revolving Credit Loan exceeds the Borrowing Availability.

1.11 Accounting

Lender is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of each Loan and each payment of principal thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, absent manifest error. Lender shall provide Borrower on a monthly basis a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of Lender to keep any such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to Borrowers shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay any of the Obligations. Except to the extent that a Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Lender in writing of any objection Borrowers may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers, absent manifest error.

1.12 Indemnity

Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Lender and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, professional advisors and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person"), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including legal fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defence, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of, or in


  • 8 -

any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Taxes and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with any dispute between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities"), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

1.13 Borrowing Base; Reserves

The Borrowing Base shall be determined by Lender (including the eligibility of Accounts) based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 4.1(a) and such other information available to Lender. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to Lender's continuing right to withhold from Borrowing Availability reserves, and to increase and decrease such reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that in Lender's good faith credit judgment such reserves are necessary, including to protect Lender's interest in the Collateral or to protect Lender against possible non-payment of Accounts for any reason by Account Debtors or possible diminution of the value of any Collateral or possible non-payment of any of the Obligations or for any Taxes or in respect of any state of facts which could constitute a Default. Lender may, at its option, implement reserves by designating as ineligible a sufficient amount of Accounts which would otherwise be Eligible Accounts, as the case may be, so as to reduce the Borrowing Base by the amount of the intended reserves.

1.14 Funding Losses

Each Borrower shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of any Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal on any Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA;

(b) the failure of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Revolving Credit Advance after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, as the case may be; or

(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof but excluding prepayment mandated by the provisions of Section 8.14(b)) of any Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Revolving Credit Advances made based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall also pay any customary and reasonable administrative fees charged by Lender in connection with the foregoing.

1.15 Inability to Determine Rates

If Lender determines, which determination is final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers, that,


  • 9 -

(a) for any reason, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Revolving Credit Advance made based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate (including, without limitation, because such rate is not available from or published on a current basis by the services used by the Lender to obtain such rate), or

(b) that Adjusted Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Revolving Credit Advance made based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the effective cost to Lender of funding such Revolving Credit Advance or the costs to the Lender are increased or the income receivable by the Lender is reduced in respect of Revolving Credit Advance,

then Lender will promptly so notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of Lender to make or maintain Revolving Credit Advances made based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, hereunder shall be suspended until Lender revokes such notice in writing, and the Lender may request that an existing Term SOFR Loan be converted to a RBUSBR based loan or an existing Term CORRA Loan be covered to a RBP based loan and any such loans will in any event automatically be converted on the expiry of the then current Interest Period. Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If Borrowers do not revoke such notice, Lender shall make the Revolving Credit Advance, as proposed by Borrowers, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by Borrowers, but such Revolving Credit Advance shall be made as a RBUSBR based loan instead of a Term SOFR Loan or a RBP based loan instead of a Term CORRA Loan, as the case may be.

1.16 Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Lender may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto) time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date such proposed amendment is provided to the Borrower without any action or consent of the Borrower. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) No Fx Facility documentation shall be deemed to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Subsection (d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 1.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be


  • 10 -

conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement):

(i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate), and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of this Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Lender may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time, to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor, and

(ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time, to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate, conversion to or rollover of a Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate to be made, converted or rolled over during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for, or a conversion to, a Loan based on RBUSBR, as applicable.

(f) Definitions.

(i) "Available Tenor" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period, or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, in each case as of such date and not including any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of Interest Period pursuant to Section 1.16(d).

(ii) "Benchmark" means, initially, Adjusted Term SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to Adjusted Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 1.16(a).


  • 11 -

(iii) "Benchmark Replacement" means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of:

(A) the alternative benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a benchmark rate or mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body, and (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Canadian dollar denominated bilateral credit facilities in Canada at such time; and

(B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement shall be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(iv) "Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected by the Lender and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body, or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Canadian dollar-denominated bilateral credit facilities in Canada at such time.

(v) "Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to either the use or adoption of Term SOFR Rate or the use, adoption, administration or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "RBUSBR", "Business Day," the definition of "Interest Period" or any similar or analogous definition, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or rollover notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such rate or to permit the administration thereof by the Lender in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lender determines that no market practice for the administration of such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Lender decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(vi) "Benchmark Replacement Date" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(A) In the case of Clause (A) or Clause (B) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event", the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein, and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the


  • 12 -

calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(B) In the case of Clause (C) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event", the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, noncompliance or non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such Clause (C) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of Clause (A) or Clause (B) of this definition with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(vii) "Benchmark Transition Event" means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(A) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(B) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component thereof), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component thereof), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(C) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all

  • 27 -

Investment Property; all Inventory and Equipment; all Goods; all Commercial Tort Claims (as such term is defined in the UCC), all Chattel Paper, Documents and Instruments; all Books and Records; all Intangibles; and to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of all and any of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing, but excluding in all events Hazardous Waste (all of the foregoing, together with any other collateral pledged to Lender or in respect of which Lender may acquire any Lien pursuant to each other Loan Document, collectively, the "Collateral").

(b) The security in the Collateral shall not extend or apply to consumer goods.

(c) With respect to the US Borrower, the security in the Collateral shall not extend to consumer goods or Excluded Property as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement.

(d) The security in the Collateral shall not extend or apply to the last day of the term of any lease or sublease or any agreement for a lease or sublease, now held or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers in respect of real property, but the Borrowers shall stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign and dispose of it as the Lender may direct.

(e) Nothing in this Section shall constitute an assignment or attempted assignment of any license, permit, contract or other agreement which by its provisions or by applicable law is not assignable, which would result in the termination of or a breach under such contract, or which requires the consent of a third party to its assignment unless such consent has been obtained. With respect to any contract which the Lender reasonably determines to be material, the applicable Borrower shall promptly, upon written request by the Lender, attempt to obtain the consent of any necessary third party to its assignment under this Agreement. Upon such consent being obtained or waived, this Section shall apply to the applicable contract without the necessity of any further assurance to effect such assignment. Unless and until such consent to assignment is obtained, such Borrower shall hold all benefit to be derived from such contract in trust for the Lender as additional security for payment of the Obligations and shall deliver up all such benefit to the Lender promptly upon demand by the Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the security granted hereunder with respect to trademarks constitutes a security interest in, and charge, hypothecation and pledge of such collateral but does not constitute an assignment of such collateral to the Lender and, notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the collateral shall not include any intent-to-use trademark application prior to the filing of a "Statement of Use" or "Amendment to Allege Use" with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable law.

(g) Each Borrower, Lender and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement agree that this Agreement creates, and is intended to create, valid and continuing Liens upon the Collateral in favour of Lender. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement represents, warrants and promises to Lender that: (i) each Borrower and each other Credit Party granting a Lien in Collateral is the sole owner of, or otherwise has a valid property interest in, each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien pursuant to the Loan Documents, and has good and marketable title thereto free and clear of any and all Liens of others, other than Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) the security interests, hypothecs and Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents, upon completion of the filings and other actions listed on Disclosure Schedule (6.1) (which, in the case of all filings, registrations, publications and other documents referred to in said Disclosure Schedule, have been delivered to Lender in duly executed form, where applicable) will constitute valid perfected security interests and Liens in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing or taking such other actions


  • 28 -

pursuant to the PPSA or the UCC as applicable in favour of Lender as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Credit Party (other than purchasers of Inventory in the ordinary course of business) and such security interests and Liens are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Permitted Encumbrances which have priority by operation of law or which are permitted to be prior pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) no effective security agreement, financing statement, deed of hypothec, equivalent security or Lien covering, charging or hypothecating all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any public office, except those relating to Permitted Encumbrances. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement promise to defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (other than Persons holding Permitted Encumbrances on such Collateral that have priority over the Lender's Lien), and each shall take such actions, including: (x) upon Lender's request, the prompt delivery of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper and certificated Shares owned by each Borrower and each other Credit Party granting a Lien on Collateral to Lender; (y) notification of Lender's interest in Collateral at Lender's request; and (z) the institution of Litigation against third parties as shall be reasonable and prudent in order to protect and preserve each Credit Party's and Lender's respective and several interests in the Collateral. Upon Lender's request, each Borrower (and any other Credit Party granting a Lien on Collateral) shall mark its Books and Records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence the Loan Documents and the Liens granted under the Loan Documents. Upon Lender's request, all Chattel Paper shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Royal Bank of Canada".

6.2 Lender's Rights

  • 29 -

(c) Each Borrower and each other Credit Party shall, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled real property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Lender shall have access at any and all times subject to any limitations imposed upon the Borrower by any landlord of such real property) and without disruption to ordinary business operations: (i) provide access to such property to Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Lender determines to be appropriate; (ii) permit Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents to inspect, audit and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of Borrowers' and such Credit Party's Books and Records; and (iii) permit Lender to inspect, review, verify, evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Lender considers advisable (a "Field Examination"), and Borrowers and such Credit Party agree to render to Lender, at Borrowers' and such Credit Party's cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to conduct one (1) Field Examination per year, provided that, (A) if at any time a Net Borrowing Availability has been less than the greater of (y) 20% of Borrowing Availability or (z) $4,000,000, for five (5) consecutive Business Days during such 12-month period, one (1) additional Field Examination will be permitted in such 12-month period, and (B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may do any of the foregoing at any time and as many times in any year during normal business hours and without advance notice, including, without limitation, additional Field Examinations.

Lender shall be permitted to observe and consult with Borrower's accountants or appraisers in the performance of these tasks.

6.3 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property Collateral

Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Borrower or such Credit Party) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by such Borrower or such Credit Party, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the Termination Date.

7.2 Remedies

(a) If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may terminate or suspend its obligation to make further Revolving Credit Advances and to incur additional Letter of Credit or other Obligations. In addition, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, without notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, including contingent liabilities with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations and EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; (ii) require that all Letter of Credit Obligations and EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations be fully cash collateralized pursuant to Schedule C; or (iii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the PPSA or the UCC; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1(f), 7.1(g) or 7.1(h), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of Lender to make further Loans, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement expressly agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Lender the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, which upon consummation of such purchase will be free of any right of equity of redemption, which right the Borrowers and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned, or continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Credit Party's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Credit Party's premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Lender deems necessary or advisable.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Lender's request, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement further agrees, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Lender deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Lender shall have no obligation to any Credit Party to maintain or preserve the rights of any Credit Party as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or receiver manager to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Lender's remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives all claims, damages, and demands against Lender, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person.

7.3 Waivers by Credit Parties

Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonour, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guarantees at any time held by Lender on which such Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender's taking possession or control of, or to Lender's replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.

SECTION 8 – MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements, commitments, understandings or inducements (oral or written, expressed or implied). No Loan Document may be modified, altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by Lender and each other Credit Party that is a party to such Loan Document. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have all duties and obligations under this Agreement and such other Loan Documents from the date of its execution and delivery, regardless of whether the initial Loan has been funded at that time.

8.2 Expenses


  • 34 -

Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors, consultants (including environmental and management consultants), field examiners, appraisers and auditors retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Loan Documents and the preservation of any rights thereunder; (b) collection, including deficiency collections; (c) the forwarding to any Borrower or any other Person on behalf of any Borrower by Lender of the proceeds of any Loan; (d) any amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to any Loan Document or advice in connection with the administration of the Loans or the rights thereunder; (e) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or between any combination of Lender, a Borrower or any other Person), and an appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any Loan Document, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise; and (f) any effort to: (i) monitor the Loans (ii) evaluate, observe or assess any Borrower or any other Credit Party or the affairs of such Person; and (iii) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower will jointly and severally reimburse Lender for the costs (including reasonable out of pocket expenses plus applicable taxes) related to the Lender's due diligence including Field Examinations and the verification, evaluation, assessment and approval of Collateral.

8.3 No Waiver

Neither Lender's failure, at any time, to require strict performance by any Borrower or any other Credit Party of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Lender's failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Loan Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party to Lender contained in any Loan Document and no Default by a Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Lender and directed to any Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and Lender shall not, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder.

8.4 Severability; Section Titles

Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of any Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of such Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any financing arrangement under the Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the Obligations, duties, covenants, representations and warranties, indemnities, and liabilities of any Borrower or any other Credit Party or the rights of Lender relating to any unpaid Obligation (due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated), or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is not required until after the Commitment Termination Date, all of which shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that all indemnity obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The Section titles contained in any Loan Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

8.5 Authorized Signature


  • 35 -

Until Lender shall be notified in writing by a Borrower or any other Credit Party to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and believed by Lender or any of Lender's officers, agents, or employees to be that of a Credit Party or of an officer of any Borrower or such other Credit Party shall bind such Borrower or such other Credit Party and be deemed to be the act of such Borrower or such other Credit Party affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by such Borrower's or such other Credit Party's board of directors, and Lender shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the person whose signature it is or appears to be unless the person acting in reliance thereon shall have actual knowledge to the contrary.

Failure or delay in delivering copies of any such communication to any Person (other than a Borrower or Lender) designated in Schedule B to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such communication.

8.7 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile or other electronic format (including pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words "execution", "execute", "executed", "signed", "signature" and words of like import in this Agreement or in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, in accordance with applicable law including, without limitation, as in provided Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario), the Electronic Transactions Act (British Columbia), the Electronic Transactions Act (Alberta), or any other similar laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada. The parties may, in their discretion, require that any such documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission.

8.8 Assignments

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender, the Credit Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any interest in this Agreement may be assigned by any Borrower or any other Credit Party without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign or transfer or grant participations in its rights or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part at any time without notice to or consent of the Credit Parties. Lender may disclose to potential or actual transferees or assignees or participants, any information regarding the Credit Parties as Lender considers necessary and the Credit Parties consent to such disclosure.

Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and such Borrower and such Credit Party hereby waive any objection which they may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby waive personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agree that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Borrower or such Credit Party at the address set forth in Schedule B of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such Borrower's or such Credit Party's actual receipt thereof (or refusal) or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail, proper postage prepaid.

8.12 Press Releases

Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Affiliates will in the future issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of Royal Bank of Canada or its affiliates without at least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to Lender and without the prior written consent of Lender unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will use reasonable commercial efforts to consult with Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each Credit Party consents to the publication (in the ordinary course) by Lender or Lender's counsel of customary advertising material (including under league tables, tombstones and for advertising purposes) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Credit Party's name, product photographs, logos or trademarks. Such consent shall remain effective until revoked by such Credit Party in writing to Lender.

8.13 Reinstatement


  • 37 -

This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

8.14 Illegality

(a) In the event that Lender determines that, in consequence of any change in any Requirement of Law or any policy applicable to it that it is illegal, unlawful or prohibited for it to make or continue to make any Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations, Bank Products, the RBC Lease Facility or any other Obligations hereunder, it shall have the right to immediately terminate such Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations, Bank Products, the RBC Lease Facility or other Obligations as it shall determine necessary or appropriate and to terminate any commitment to make or continue to make such Loans, Letters of Credit Obligations, Bank Products, the RBC Lease Facility or other Obligations and/or to terminate its commitments hereunder and any of the Loan Documents as it shall determine necessary or appropriate.

(b) If Lender determines that it is unlawful to make, maintain or fund any Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA, as applicable, each Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from Lender, prepay in full such Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Revolving Credit Advances to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Revolving Credit Advances. No payment shall be due under Section 1.14 upon prepayment of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA pursuant to or as a result of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence. If any Borrower is required to so prepay any Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA, as applicable, then concurrently with such prepayment, such Borrower shall borrow from Lender, in the amount of such repayment, Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBUSBR or RBP, as applicable.

8.15 Set Off and Survival

Without limitation to any other rights or remedies of Lender, Lender shall have the right at all times without notice to the Credit Parties (which notice is hereby waived to the maximum extent permitted by law) to set off or apply against any Obligations now and hereafter owing (whether matured or contingent) any deposits at any time held by, or other indebtedness at any time owing by, Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of any Credit Party. All indemnities hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents unless expressly released in writing.

8.16 Increased Costs

If, by reason of: (a) any adoption of, taking effect of, or change in any Requirement of Law (including any change by way of imposition or increase of statutory reserves or other reserve requirements) or the application, administration, implementation or interpretation thereof; or (b) the compliance with any rule, directive, guideline or request from any government authority or other Person exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), including the (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued:


  • 38 -

(i) Lender (or its applicable lending office) shall be subject to any Tax with respect to any Loan (including a Letter of Credit) or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of any payment to Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect to its obligation to make or continue any Loan or issue Letters of Credit or participate in Letter of Credit Obligations or EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations; or

(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the board of governors or any other applicable Governmental Authority), special deposits, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (or its applicable lending office) shall be imposed or deemed applicable, or any other condition, affecting Lender's (or its applicable lending office's) obligation to make any Loans or issue Letters of Credit, shall be imposed on Lender (or its applicable lending office);

and as a result there shall be an increase in the cost to Lender (or its applicable lending office) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Obligations or EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations (except to the extent already included in determination of the rate of interest), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender (or its applicable office), then Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such event, and each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to, within five (5) Business Days following demand therefor, pay Lender the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts.

In the event that Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any any government authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (provided that for purposes of this Agreement, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have been adopted and become effective after the date thereof), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or any corporation controlling Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Obligations or EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations (except to the extent already included in determination of the rate of interest) or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or issue Letters of Credit to a level below that which Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such event, and each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to, within five (5) Business Days following demand therefor, pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

If Lender determines that, because of circumstances described above or any other circumstances arising hereafter affecting such Lender the Applicable Margin will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding Loans or incurring Letter of Credit Obligations, EDC Guaranteed Letter of Credit Obligations or the cost to Lender of issuing Letters of Credit, then (A) Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such event; and (B) Lender's obligation to fund Loans and issue Letters of Credit, shall be immediately suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower shall only be required to compensate Lender in respect of any such increased costs or reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender to the extent any Borrower has received a written request for such compensation within ninety (90) days


after Lender has received actual notice of the occurrence of the relevant circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender.

8.17 Conflict

If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with and is incapable of being construed together with any other Loan Document, then the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail to the extent necessary to remove such conflict. If there is a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or event of default contained in any Loan Document which is not contained herein, or vice versa, such additional provision shall not constitute a conflict.

SECTION 9 – SPECIAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Interest Act (Canada)

For the purposes of this Agreement, whenever interest or a fee to be paid hereunder is to be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days, as in the case of all Revolving Credit Advances in U.S.$ made based upon the Term SOFR Rate, or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest or the yearly fee to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by either three hundred and sixty (360) or such other period of time, as the case may be. Each Credit Party confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to Loans under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to such Credit Party as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

9.2 Excess Resulting from Exchange Rate Change

If at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (a) the Obligations exceed any limitations hereunder or (b) any part of the Obligations exceeds any limit set forth herein for such Obligations, each Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately: (i) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce such Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess; or (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained with Lender deposits in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, Lender shall, weekly or more frequently in Lender's sole discretion, make the necessary exchange rate calculations (based upon the rate of exchange established by Lender as at noon on the date of determination) to determine whether any such excess exists on such date.

9.3 Judgment Currency

If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Second Currency"), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, Lender could purchase in the Toronto foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date Lender receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the Toronto foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in


  • 40 -

the Original Currency, each Borrower jointly and severally agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify Lender against such loss. The term "rate of exchange" in this Section means the spot rate at which Lender, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

9.4 USA Patriot Act

Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the parties hereto and other information that will allow Lender to identify all parties in accordance with said Act. The Credit Party shall promptly provide such information upon request by Lender.

9.5 Calculations

All references in the Loan Documents to Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations, Borrowing Base components and other amounts shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise. The Canadian Dollars equivalent of any amounts denominated or reported under a Loan Document in a currency other than Canadian Dollars shall be determined by Lender on a daily basis, based on its rate of exchange as determined on the date of determination. The Credit Parties shall report value and other Borrowing Base components to Lender in the currency invoiced by Borrowers or shown in Borrowers' financial records, and unless expressly provided otherwise, shall deliver Financial Statements and calculate financial covenants in Canadian Dollars. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Obligation is funded and expressly denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars, Borrowers shall repay such Obligation in such other currency.

9.6 Language

The parties hereto confirm that it is their wish that this Agreement and any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated herein be drawn up in the English language only (except if another language is required under any Applicable Law) and that all other documents contemplated thereunder or relating thereto, including notices, may also be drawn up in the English language only. Each party hereto hereby confirms that it was represented by legal counsel and has had the opportunity to negotiate the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, including the essential stipulations thereof, with the assistance of its legal counsel. Les parties aux présentes confirment que c'est leur volonté que cette convention et les autres documents de crédit soient rédigés en langue anglaise seulement et que tous les documents, y compris tous avis, envisagés par cette convention et les autres documents peuvent être rédigés en langue anglaise seulement (sauf si une autre langue est requise en vertu d'une loi applicable). Chaque partie aux présentes confirme qu'elle a été représentée par des conseillers juridiques et a eu l'opportunité de négocier les termes de cette convention et des autres documents de crédit, y compris leurs stipulations essentielles, avec l'aide de ses conseillers juridiques.

Exhibit 19.1

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

DIRTT ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS LTD. 2021 11 01

IN ORDER TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE PREVENTION OF INSIDER TRADING VIOLATIONS BY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER RELATED INDIVIDUALS OF DIRTT ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS LTD. (THE "COMPANY") AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, THE COMPANY HAS ADOPTED THIS INSIDER TRADING POLICY (THE "POLICY").

STATEMENT OF INTENT

The Company opposes the misuse of material nonpublic information in the trading of securities. This Policy implements procedures designed to prevent trading based on material nonpublic information regarding the Company, including any of its subsidiaries.

COVERED PARTIES

The Policy covers officers, directors and all other employees of, or consultants or contractors to, the Company or its subsidiaries, as well as their immediate families, and members of their households ("Insider(s)"). Certain additional provisions apply specifically to members of the Pre-Clearance Group (as defined under the heading "The Company's Trading Window").

COVERED TRANSACTIONS

This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company's securities, including common shares, options for common shares and any other securities the Company may issue from time to time, such as preferred shares, warrants and convertible debentures, as well as to derivative securities relating to the Company's shares, whether or not issued by the Company.

PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

No Insider shall engage in any transaction involving a purchase or sale of the Company's securities, including any offer to purchase or offer to sell, during any period commencing with the date that the Insider possesses material nonpublic information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries, and ending at the beginning of the second trading day following the date of public disclosure of that information, or at such time as such nonpublic information is no longer material.

No Insider shall disclose ("tip") material nonpublic information about the Company or its subsidiaries to any other person where such information may be used by such person to his or her profit by trading in the securities of companies to which such information relates, nor shall such Insider or related person make recommendations or express opinions on the basis of material nonpublic information as to trading in the Company's securities.


Exhibit 19.1

No Insider shall engage in any transaction involving the purchase or sale of another company’s securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about such company when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or the performance of services on behalf of, the Company and for which there is a relationship of trust and confidence concerning the information.

No Insider shall (i) make any “short sales” of any securities of the Company, (ii) engage in transactions involving Company-based derivative securities, or (iii) otherwise engage in any other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s common shares or other securities, including through prepaid variable forward contracts and exchange funds.

“Short sales” are sales of securities that the seller does not own at the time of the sale or, if owned, that will not be delivered within 20 days of the sale.

“Derivative securities” are options, warrants, stock appreciation rights or similar rights whose value is derived from the value of an equity security, such as the Company’s common shares. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, trading in Company-based option contracts, transacting in variable forward contracts, equity swaps, straddles or collars, hedging, and writing puts or calls.

Nevertheless, your holding and exercising options, deferred share units, performance share units, restricted stock units or other derivative securities granted under an equity-based compensation or incentive plan of the Company are not prohibited by this Policy.

PROBLEMATIC TRANSACTIONS

While employees are not prohibited by law from using Company securities as collateral for loans or in margin accounts, the Company discourages employees from such activity because, among other problems, these types of transactions (i) may result in transactions in Company securities occurring outside the Open Window (defined below). Limit orders with brokers should not extend beyond any Open Window and be cancellable upon an imposition of a black-out period. Employees interested in trading outside of the Open Window should look into adopting a 10b5-1 trading plan, as described below. Exercising stock options issued pursuant to the Company’s long term incentive plan, as otherwise permitted under this Policy, are not considered problematic.

THE COMPANY’S TRADING WINDOW

The Company has determined that all officers, directors, and those other persons identified on Attachment 1 (as may be amended from time to time by the Compliance Officer) (together “Pre-Clearance Group”), shall be prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise effecting transactions in any shares or other securities of the Company or derivative securities thereof EXCEPT during the following trading window:

  • Beginning at the open of market on the third trading day following the date of public disclosure of the Company’s financial results for a preceding calendar quarter or year and ending at the close of market on the 21st day of the third calendar month of the current calendar quarter (the “Open Window”).

In addition, the Company, through the Compliance Officer, may authorize longer or additional trading windows in which buying, selling or otherwise effecting transactions in the Company’s securities shall be permitted pursuant to this Policy as if it were the “Open Window.” Similarly, the


Exhibit 19.1

Company, through the Compliance Officer, may impose special black-out periods during which certain persons will be prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise effecting transactions in any stock or other securities of the Company or derivative securities thereof, even though the trading window would otherwise be open. If a special blackout period is imposed, the Company will notify affected individuals, who should thereafter not engage in any transaction involving the purchase or sale of the Company's securities and should not disclose to others the fact of such suspension of trading.

Even during the Open Window, any person possessing material nonpublic information should not engage in any transactions in the Company's securities until the beginning of the third trading day following the date of public disclosure of such information, whether or not the Company has recommended a suspension of trading to that person.

PRE-CLEARANCE OF TRADES BY MEMBERS OF THE PRE-CLEARANCE GROUP

All members of the Pre-Clearance Group must refrain from trading in the Company's securities, even during the

Open Window, without first:

  • in the case of executive officers and directors, by contacting the Company's Compliance Officer (defined below) and obtaining pre-clearance to commence trading in the Company's securities; and
  • in the case of all other members of the Pre-Clearance Group, either (i) by confirming through such person's online ShareWorks account that such person is not subject to a blackout period; or (i) by contacting the Company's Compliance Officer and obtaining pre-clearance to commence trading in the Company's securities.

In addition, all executive officers and directors are required to comply with Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and related rules and regulations which set forth reporting obligations as well as limitations on "short swing" transactions. The Company is available to assist in filing Section 16 reporting, however, the obligation to comply with Section 16 is personal. Please direct any inquiries concerning compliance to the Compliance Officer.

ADOPTION AND AFFECT OF QUALIFIED TRADING PLANS

The Company permits all directors, officers and other employees to adopt "Qualified Trading Plans" that (i) conform to all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) as currently adopted or amended by the SEC and any other restrictions applicable to your trading of Company shares (e.g., Rule 144) and (ii) qualify as an "automatic securities purchase plan or other similar automatic plan" under applicable Canadian securities laws and exchange rules. The restrictions on trading set forth in this Policy shall not apply to trades made pursuant to an approved Qualified Trading Plan, unless otherwise required by applicable law. More information concerning trading plans is available from the Compliance Officer.


EXEMPTIONS FROM THIS POLICY

The exercise of stock options under the Company’s long term incentive plan with a cash payment of the exercise price is exempt from this Policy, since the other party to these transactions is the Company itself and the price does not vary with the market, but is fixed by the terms of the option agreement. This exemption does not apply to the sale of any shares issued upon such exercise and it does not apply to a cashless exercise of options, which is accomplished by a sale of a portion of the shares issued upon exercise of an option. In addition, bona fide gifts of the securities of the Company are exempt from this Policy.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATION

The exercise of stock options under the Company’s long term incentive plan with a cash payment of the exercise price is exempt Employees who violate this Policy shall also be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, which may include ineligibility for future participation in the Company’s long term incentive plans or termination of employment.

Pursuant to applicable securities laws, Insiders may be subject to criminal and civil fines and penalties as well as imprisonment for engaging in transactions in the Company’s securities at a time when they have knowledge of material nonpublic information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, Insiders may be liable for improper transactions by any person (commonly referred to as a “tippee”) to whom they have disclosed material nonpublic information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information as to trading in the Company’s securities.

For the purposes of this Policy, “applicable securities laws” refer to (a) the Securities Act (Alberta) and the equivalent thereof in each province and territory of Canada in which the Company is a “reporting issuer” or equivalent thereof, together with the regulations, rules and blanket orders of the securities commission or similar regulatory authority in each of those jurisdictions; (b) the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”), the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “U.S. Exchange Act”) and any rules or regulations thereunder; and (c) the rules of each of the Toronto Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, to the extent that any securities of the Company are listed on those exchanges.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

Every officer, director and other employee, consultant and contractor has the individual responsibility to comply with this Policy, and the applicable laws of their jurisdiction. An Insider may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company’s securities even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the material nonpublic information and even though the Insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting. Trading in the Company’s securities during the trading window should not be considered a “safe harbor,” and all directors, officers and other persons should use good judgment at all times.


COMPLIANCE OFFICER

The Company’s General Counsel shall serve as the Insider Trading Compliance Officer (the “Compliance Officer”). The duties of the Compliance Officer shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

  • Pre-clearing transactions as required under this Policy.
  • Assisting, as requested, in the preparation and filing of Section 16 reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5) for Section 16 reporting persons and SEDI reporting for reporting insiders in Canada.
  • Serving as the designated recipient at the Company of copies of reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Section 16 reporting persons under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
  • Periodically reminding all Section 16 reporting persons and reporting insiders in Canada regarding their obligations to report and quarterly reminders of the dates that the trading window described above begins and ends.
  • Assisting the Company in implementation of the Policy.
  • Assisting with compliance activities with respect to Rule 144 requirements and regarding changing requirements and recommendations for compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and insider trading laws to ensure that the Policy is amended as necessary to comply with such requirements.

The duties may be delegated by the Compliance Officer to such other individuals as the Compliance Officer deems appropriate.

DEFINITION OF MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION

It is not possible to define all categories of material information. In general, all information that a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold securities is considered material. Under Canadian securities laws and exchange rules, “material information” includes “material facts” and “material changes” (as such terms are defined under applicable securities laws and exchange rules) and generally includes any fact, information or change relating to an issuer that would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect (either positive or negative) on the market price or value of the issuer’s securities. Under U.S. securities laws, a fact is material (and therefore material information) if there is a substantial likelihood that disclosure of the fact would be viewed by a reasonable investor as significantly altering the total mix of information made available. Either positive or negative information may be material. Questions concerning whether nonpublic information is material can be directed to the Compliance Officer.

Persons subject to trading window restrictions:

  • Employees designated by the Company’s finance department to the Compliance Officer due to their receipt of monthly financial reports.
  • Any other individuals designated from time to time by the Compliance Officer or their designee.

Exhibit 19.2

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.

Insider Trading Policy (Preclearance Group)


2

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“the Company”) has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that applies to each employee, director and officer of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has also adopted this Insider Trading Policy (Preclearance Group) (the “Policy”), which is applicable to directors, all persons holding the positions of Vice President or above with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and any others who are designated by the General Counsel as being subject to this Policy. You must strictly follow both the Insider Trading Policy and this Policy.

The Company reserves the right to amend or rescind this Policy or any portion of it at any time and to adopt different policies and procedures at any time. If any provisions of this Policy conflict with the Insider Trading Policy, you must follow this Policy.

For the purposes of this policy, “applicable securities laws and exchange rules” refer to (a) the Securities Act (Alberta) and the equivalent thereof in each province and territory of Canada in which the Company is a “reporting issuer” or equivalent thereof, together with the regulations, rules and blanket orders of the securities commission or similar regulatory authority in each of those jurisdictions; (b) the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”), the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “U.S. Exchange Act”) and any rules or regulations thereunder; and (c) the rules of each of the Toronto Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, to the extent that any securities of the Company are listed on those exchanges.

INTRODUCTION

It is generally illegal for any person, either personally or on behalf of others, to trade in securities while in possession of material, nonpublic information. It is also generally illegal to communicate (or “tip”) material information (as defined below) that has not been generally disclosed to the public (such information, “material non-public information”) to others who may trade in securities on the basis of that information. These illegal activities are commonly referred to as “insider trading.”

Penalties for insider trading violations under applicable Canadian laws include imprisonment for up to 10 years (up to 5 years for tipping), fines of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided by trading to a maximum of C$5 million, and additional fines of up to C$5 million. There also may be liability to those damaged by the trading. A company whose employee violates the insider trading prohibitions may be liable for a civil fine of up to the greater of C$1 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the employee’s illegal insider trading.

Penalties for insider trading violations under U.S. laws include imprisonment for up to 20 years, civil fines of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided by trading, and criminal fines of up to US$5 million. There also may be liability to those damaged by the trading. A company whose employee violates the insider trading prohibitions may be liable for a civil fine of up to the greater of US$1 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the employee’s illegal insider trading.

The Company may refer any breaches to the appropriate regulatory authorities.

For these reasons, the Company has adopted this Policy and requires your strict adherence to it. In addition to other penalties that the Company, the government or others may impose on you, willful violation of this Policy constitutes cause to request your resignation from the Board of Directors or termination of your employment.

You are encouraged to ask questions and seek any information you may require about this Policy. Please direct all questions to the General Counsel. References in this Policy to the General Counsel mean the General Counsel or the General Counsel’s designee.

GENERAL STATEMENT

This Policy prohibits you from trading and from tipping others who may trade in the Company’s securities (both equity and debt securities) when you know material, nonpublic information about the Company. You are also prohibited from trading and from tipping others who may trade in the securities of another company if you learn material, nonpublic information about the other company in connection with your employment or position at the Company.


What information is material? In general, all information that a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold securities is considered material. Under Canadian securities laws and exchange rules, “material information” includes “material facts” and “material changes” (as such terms are defined under applicable securities laws and exchange rules) and generally includes any fact, information or change relating to an issuer that would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect (either positive or negative) on the market price or value of the issuer’s securities. Under U.S. securities laws, a fact is material (and therefore material information) if there is a substantial likelihood that disclosure of the fact would be viewed by a reasonable investor as significantly altering the total mix of information made available.

In making judgments as to what information constitutes material information, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors, including the nature of the information itself, what other information is publicly available, the volatility of the Company’s securities, and prevailing marketing conditions. Under volatile market conditions, apparently insignificant variances between earnings projections and actual results can have a significant effect on share price once released. Examples of some types of possible material information are:

  • preliminary or final earnings information, financial results, financial forecasts and budgets, including any significant or unexpected changes or results, significant increases or decreases in near-term earnings prospects, or internally developed financial projections;
  • possible reorganizations, amalgamations or mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, proxy fights or threatened proxy fights, changes in control, changes in share ownership that may affect control of the Company, joint ventures, investments in other companies, other purchases and sales of companies or assets, and any transactions that may otherwise affect control of the Company;
  • major litigation or regulatory developments;
  • major changes in the business or operations of the Company, including any changes in corporate objective or major disputes with labor forces, contractors or suppliers;
  • development of major, new products and developments affecting the Company’s resources, technology, products or market;
  • the entering into, amendment, termination or loss of important contracts;
  • changes in relationships with significant customers, suppliers or DIRTT distribution partners;
  • major financing developments, including borrowing of a significant amount of funds and events that create, accelerate or increase financial obligations, whether direct or off-balance sheet;
  • major personnel changes, particularly departures or elections of directors or executive officers;
  • a significant cybersecurity incident, such as a data breach that harms the Company, its suppliers, its distribution partners or customers;
  • impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems;
  • changes in auditors or notification that an audit report can no longer be relied upon;
  • de-listing of the Company’s securities or movement from one exchange to another;
  • events regarding the rights of security holders, such as:
  • defaults on senior securities (such as bank debt or publicly held notes);
  • calls of securities for redemption;
  • repurchase programs;
  • changes in capital structure;
  • share consolidation, share splits, share exchanges or changes in dividends; and
  • public or private sales of additional securities.

3


What is nonpublic information? Material information is considered to be nonpublic (i.e., material non-public information) unless it has been disclosed effectively to the public. Examples of public disclosure include the dissemination of the full text of the Company’s press releases distributed through widely circulated news or wire service and public filings with the applicable securities commissions or other regulatory authorities in Canada through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

For information to be considered public, it must not only be disclosed publicly, but adequate time must have passed for the market as a whole to assess the information. Although timing may vary depending upon the circumstances, it is safe for you to assume that information is not considered public until the passage of two full trading days after the Company publicly discloses it.

What transactions are prohibited? When you know material non-public information about any company, then you, your spouse, people living in your house, and entities or trusts that you control generally are prohibited from three activities:

  • trading in that company’s securities (including trading in options, puts and calls for that company’s securities and gifts, pledges, estate planning transactions and transactions or elections involving those securities held in the Company’s plans);
  • having others trade for you in that company’s securities (except pursuant to a “Qualified Trading Plan” as defined in this Policy); and
  • disclosing the information to anyone else who then might trade.

These prohibitions continue whenever and for as long as you know material non-public information about the company.

Although it is most likely that any material non-public information you might learn would be about the Company or its subsidiaries, these prohibitions apply to trading in the securities of any company about which you have material non-public information that you obtained in the course of your employment with the Company.

When are the most and least risky times to trade? Arguably the most risky time to trade in the Company’s securities is shortly in advance of the Company’s public release of important financial information or other important news, while the least risky time normally is the period shortly following the release and publication of the information (unless, of course, you are aware of other

material information that the Company has not publicized). Even after the Company has released the information, it is risky to trade until sufficient time has elapsed to enable the market to assess the information as a whole (generally, until the passage of two full trading days after the Company has publicly disclosed the material information).

What transactions are excepted from this Policy? The only exceptions to this Policy are as follows:

  • Acquisition of shares under the Company’s employee share purchase plan. Note that this exception does not apply to a subsequent sale of the acquired shares.
  • Other purchases of Company common shares pursuant to automatic payroll deductions made in accordance with a contribution election under another employee benefit plan (provided that the election is made at a time that you are not in possession of material non-public information) or from Company matching contributions made under any of its employee benefit plans, if applicable.
  • Award payouts by the Company to you under any equity-based compensation plans, whether settled with shares or cash (except that if settlement is at your election such election is made at a time that you are not in possession of material non-public information).
  • The exercise of stock options received under any Company equity-based compensation or incentive plan. Note that this exception does not include a broker-assisted cashless exercise of a stock option or other subsequent sale of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the option.
  • The exercise of share withholding rights pursuant to which you elect to have the Company withhold shares to pay the exercise price of the stock options or satisfy tax withholding requirements.

4


  • Trades made pursuant to a “Qualified Trading Plan.” A Qualified Trading Plan for the purposes of this Policy is a written plan for buying or selling Company shares that, at the time it is adopted, (i) conforms to all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 as currently adopted or amended by the SEC and any other restrictions applicable to your trading of Company shares (e.g., Rule 144) and (ii) qualifies as an “automatic securities purchase plan or other similar automatic plan” under applicable securities laws and exchange rules, and complies with all applicable securities laws and exchange rules applicable thereto, including prior approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Qualified Trading Plan and press release thereof, if applicable. You must obtain authorization from the General Counsel before entering into a Qualified Trading Plan. Additionally, directors and executive officers of the Company must obtain authorization from the Board of Directors of the Company before entering into a Qualified Trading Plan.

  • Any transaction specifically approved in writing in advance by the General Counsel.

  • An election to entirely suspend future payroll deductions designated for the purchase of the Company’s common shares through any Company employee share purchase plan, 401(k), or other employee benefit plan (provided that the election is made at a time that you are not in possession of material non-public information).

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE

As previously discussed, the disclosure of material non-public information to others can lead to significant legal difficulties, fines and punishment. You should not discuss material non-public information about the Company or its subsidiaries with anyone, including other employees, except as required in the performance of your regular duties on a need-to-know basis.

Also, it is important that only a few representatives of the Company discuss the Company and its subsidiaries with the news media, securities analysts and investors. Inquiries about the Company from these people should be referred to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Company has strict policies to safeguard the confidentiality of its internal, proprietary information. These include identifying, marking and safeguarding confidential information. You should comply with these policies at all times.

PROHIBITION ON TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING DERIVATIVE SECURITIES

You, your spouse, all members of your household, and entities or trusts that you control are prohibited from (i) making any short sales of any securities of the Company, (ii) engaging in transactions involving Company-based derivative securities, or (iii) otherwise engaging in any other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s common shares, including through prepaid variable forward contracts and exchange funds. “Short sales” are sales of securities that the seller does not own at the time of the sale or, if owned, that will not be delivered within 20 days of the sale. It is illegal for directors and executive officers (including each individual subject to reporting under Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act of the Company) to sell the Company’s securities short, and it is against this Policy for you to sell the Company’s securities short. “Derivative securities” are options, warrants, stock appreciation rights or similar rights whose value is derived from the value of an equity security, such as the Company’s common shares. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, trading in Company-based option contracts, transacting in variable forward contracts, equity swaps, straddles or collars, hedging, and writing puts or calls. Nevertheless, your holding and exercising options, deferred share units, performance share units, restricted stock units or other derivative securities granted under an equity-based compensation or incentive plan of the Company are not prohibited by this Policy.

TRADING BLACKOUTS AND PRECLEARANCE

The following additional restrictions are also applicable to you.

  1. Trading Blackouts. You, your spouse, all members of your household, and entities or trusts that you control are prohibited from engaging in any transactions (including gifts, pledges, estate planning transactions and transactions or elections involving Company share account in any 401(k) Plan, RRSP or other similar plans) involving the Company’s securities (both equity and debt securities) during certain periods of the year referred to as “blackout” periods. No transactions may be made until you are notified by the General Counsel that the relevant “blackout” period has expired or has otherwise been terminated.

a. Automatic blackout periods. You are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving the Company’s securities during the periods beginning on the 21st day of the last month of every fiscal quarter and ending two full trading days (on all applicable stock exchanges) after the Company’s earnings for that quarter are publicly announced in a press release or otherwise. For example: the Company’s first fiscal quarter ends on March 31 each year. If the Company publicly announces its earnings for that quarter before the market opens on May 3, then the “blackout” period will be from March 21 through May 4. Transactions may begin (that is, the trading “window” will be open) on May 5, assuming both May 3 and 4 are trading days on the applicable stock exchanges, unless the Company is then in an additional blackout period, as discussed in the next paragraph.

b. Additional blackout periods. The Company may impose a trading blackout at any time if at the time the Company believes that transactions by insiders would be inappropriate because of developments at the Company that are or could become material. The General Counsel is responsible for advising whether or not a trading blackout is then in effect.

  1. Pre-Clearance. If you intend to engage in a transaction during a trading window, you must receive permission in advance from the General Counsel. The General Counsel will not approve transaction requests when a blackout period is in effect, except as set forth in paragraph 4 below. The General Counsel may also refuse to permit any transaction if he or she determines that the transaction could give rise to a charge of insider trading.

You should notify the General Counsel two business days in advance of your intent to purchase or sell Company securities, exercise options, or gift securities, even if the transaction may be otherwise excepted from these additional restrictions under paragraph 4.

After you receive permission to engage in a transaction, you must complete your transaction within three trading days (or such shorter period as is designated at the time of your request for permission) or make a new request for clearance.

  1. Margin Accounts and Pledges. You are prohibited from entering into a pledge of Company securities as collateral for a loan or holding Company securities in a margin account without advance approval from the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel, unless you are a member of our Board of Directors, in which case approval must be received from the Board of Directors. In considering a request for approval, the reviewing officer or Board of Directors, as the case may be, may consider any factors that it deems relevant and may grant or withhold approval in its sole discretion.

  2. Exceptions. The only exceptions to these additional restrictions are those listed earlier in this Policy in answer to the question, “What transactions are excepted from this Policy?”


PROHIBITION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS TRADING DURING PENSION FUND BLACKOUT PERIODS

All directors and executive officers of the Company are prohibited by law from buying, selling or transferring, directly or indirectly, securities of the Company during any “blackout period” affecting any “individual account plan.”¹ This prohibition applies to all equity securities and derivative securities a director or executive officer acquired in connection with his or her service or employment as a director or executive officer, including shares acquired to satisfy the Company’s minimum share ownership requirements for directors and executive officers, if any have been established.

It is illegal for directors and executive officers to engage in trading equity securities or derivative securities acquired in connection with service as a director or executive officer during blackout periods affecting individual account plans, such as 401(k) plans or RRSPs. This prohibition prevents directors and executive officers from trading the Company’s securities when plan participants are prohibited from trading. The SEC has adopted some limited exceptions to this prohibition, such as for dividend reinvestment programs or trades made pursuant to Qualified Trading Plans. Our policy adopts the prohibitions and exceptions provided in the law and will be deemed amended to conform to future changes to the law, if any, when they occur.

This document states a policy of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and is not intended to be legal advice or a legal opinion on any specific facts or circumstances. It is intended for general information only. A number of details and exceptions were omitted from the Policy in order to simplify the presentation. Application to particular facts or circumstances requires analysis by legal counsel. In addition, the rules cited in this Policy can and do change. You should contact the General Counsel or your legal counsel if there is any question about the applicability of any of the requirements described in this Policy.

These terms have the meanings given them in Regulation BTR under the U.S. Exchange Act.
