Pursuant to the interim order obtained from the Supreme Court of British Columbia in respect of the Arrangement (the "Interim Order"), registered Shareholders as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising dissent rights have the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of their Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. A registered Shareholder wishing to exercise rights of dissent with respect to the Arrangement must send to the Corporation a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution, which written objection must be received by the Corporation at 1800 – 510 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 0M3 (Attention: Kristopher Miks) by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on January 9, 2026 (or by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time) on the second business day immediately preceding the date that any adjourned or postponed Meeting is reconvened), and must otherwise strictly comply with the dissent procedures set forth in the provisions of sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, and described in the Circular. The registered Shareholders' rights to dissent are more particularly described in the Circular, and copies of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the text of sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA are set forth in Appendix B, Appendix D and Appendix G, respectively, of the Circular. Anyone who is a beneficial owner of Common Shares and who wishes to exercise a right of dissent should be aware that only registered Shareholders are entitled to exercise a right of dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial (non-registered) Shareholder who desires to exercise a right of dissent must make arrangements for the Common Shares beneficially owned by such holder to be registered in the name of such holder prior to the time the notice of dissent is required to be received by the Corporation or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered Shareholder of such Common Shares to exercise the right of dissent on behalf of such Shareholder. A Shareholder wishing to exercise a right of dissent may only exercise such rights with respect to all Common Shares in which the holder owns a beneficial interest. It is recommended that you seek independent legal advice if you wish to exercise a right of dissent. Warrantholders, Optionholders and RSUholders are not entitled to exercise dissent rights. Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, may result in the loss of any right of dissent.

The Circular, this notice of special meeting, the letters of transmittal and the forms of proxy or voting instruction forms, as applicable, are being sent to TRUBAR Securityholders of record as at the Record Date, and are available under the Corporation's profile on the SEDAR+, online at www.sedarplus.com.
