ITEM 3 NEWS RELEASE
The Company issued a news release on March 25, 2026 relating to the material change, which was subsequently filed on SEDAR+ and with the Canadian Securities Exchange.
ITEM 4 SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE
The Company has closed its upsized non-brokered private placement of 1,714,286 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $1.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,400,000.40 (the "Offering").
ITEM 5 FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE
The Company has closed the Offering pursuant to which the Company issued 1,714,286 Units at a price of $1.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,400,000.40. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $1.80 until March 25, 2028. If the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the Canadian Securities Exchange exceeds $3.00 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants.
The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be used to advance development of the Company's Overwatch platform, commercialization activities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Units issued under the Offering were offered for sale pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by CSA Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (collectively, the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"), in all provinces of Canada, except Quebec, and other qualifying jurisdictions, including the United States. The Units offered under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will be immediately "free-trading" under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The participation in the Offering of the above-noted insiders constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). However, such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as neither the fair market value of the Units acquired by the insiders of the Company, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101.
The Offering was approved by the full board of directors of the Company, without the establishment of a special committee. The board of directors did not view the applicable related party's participation in the Offering to be a material transaction with the Company. No materially contrary views were expressed by any director of the Company. The Offering was intended to improve the financial position of the Company.
To the knowledge of the Company and its directors and senior officers, after reasonable inquiry, no prior valuation (as defined in MI 61-101) has been made in respect of the Company that relates to the subject matter of, or is otherwise relevant to, the Offering within the 24 months preceding the date hereof. Further, other than customary subscription agreements and subscription documents entered into by the Company in respect of the Offering, neither the Company, nor to the Company's knowledge, any related party of the Company, entered into any agreement with an interested party or a joint actor with an interested party in connection with the Offering.
