TRUBAR™

TRUBAR INC.

December 9, 2025

Dear TRUBAR Securityholders:

You are invited to attend the special meeting of holders of common shares (each a "Common Share"), holders of warrants to purchase Common Shares (each a "Warrant"), holders of options to purchase Common Shares (each an "Option"), and holders of restricted share units (each an "RSU") of TRUBAR Inc. (the "Corporation" or "TRUBAR") to be held in person on January 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP located at 222 Bay Street, Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1E7 (the "Meeting"). The accompanying management information circular (the "Circular") provides important and detailed instructions about how to attend and participate at the Meeting.

THE ARRANGEMENT

On November 23, 2025, TRUBAR entered into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with ETI Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi (the "Parent") and 1564128 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company (the "Purchaser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, pursuant to which the Purchaser will acquire all of the Common Shares pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement").

At the Meeting, holders of Common Shares (the "Shareholders"), holders of Warrants (the "Warrantholders"), holders of Options (the "Optionholders"), and holders of RSUs (the "RSUholders", and together with the Shareholders, the Warrantholders and the Optionholders, the "TRUBAR Securityholders") will be asked to approve the Arrangement, pursuant to which TRUBAR Securityholders will be entitled to receive (other than registered Shareholders who have validly exercised dissent rights and have not withdrawn such exercise of dissent rights) the following:

(a) for each Common Share held, a cash payment in the amount of $1.64 per Common Share (the "Consideration");

(b) for each Warrant held, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Warrant, subject to applicable withholdings;

(c) for each Option held, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Option, subject to applicable withholdings; and

(d) for each RSU held, a cash payment equal to the Consideration, subject to applicable withholdings.

REASONS TO SUPPORT THE ARRANGEMENT

Significant Premium to Market Value: The Consideration to be paid to Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement represents a 64% premium to the last closing price of the Common Shares prior to the announcement of the Arrangement and a 102% premium to the sixty (60) day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSXV.

Certainty of Value and Immediate Liquidity: The Consideration is payable entirely in cash. By receiving the Consideration at closing of the Arrangement, TRUBAR Securityholders are provided with immediate


liquidity and certainty of value and are able to eliminate the investment risk associated with owning shares of a corporation operating in a volatile business and economic environment, as well as exposure to other risks that are beyond the Corporation and its management's control.

Recommendation of the Special Committee: The Arrangement was recommended by a special committee of the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") composed of three members of the Board (the "Special Committee"), being Richard Kellam (Chair), H. Brock Bundy and St. John Walshe.

To assist in making its recommendation, the Special Committee engaged MNP LLP ("MNP"), as independent financial advisor in connection with the Arrangement. MNP has provided the Special Committee with a fairness opinion (the "Fairness Opinion") to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the scope of review, analysis, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

A copy of the Fairness Opinion, which should be read carefully and, in its entirety, along with other relevant background information related to the involvement of MNP, has been included in the Circular.

Support Agreements: Certain TRUBAR Securityholders who hold Common Shares, Warrants, Options and RSUs (collectively, "TRUBAR Securities") have entered into voting and support agreements (collectively, the "Support Agreements") pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote the TRUBAR Securities over which they exercise voting control in favour of the Arrangement. In the aggregate, the Supporting Holders (as defined in the Circular) hold or control approximately 16% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares, 34% of the total number of issued and outstanding Warrants, 68% of the issued and outstanding Options and 97% of the issued and outstanding RSUs and have agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement. In the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, obligations under the Support Agreements automatically terminate.

Reasonable Likelihood of Completion: The Arrangement is not subject to the Purchaser obtaining financing and is otherwise subject to a limited number of customary conditions.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD

The Board (subject to the abstention of the Abstaining Directors (as defined in the Circular)), following receipt of the unanimous recommendation by the Special Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders, from a financial point of view, and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Corporation.

Acting on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board (subject to the abstention of the Abstaining Directors), unanimously:

  • approved the Arrangement and the entry by the Corporation into the Arrangement Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby;
  • determined that the Arrangement is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders and is in the best interests of the Corporation; and
  • resolved to recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution (as defined in the Circular).

APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS

To be implemented, the Arrangement requires approval of: (a) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share held; (b) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by TRUBAR Securityholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy


at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share or one vote per TRUBAR Security held; and (c) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes cast in respect of Common Shares that are held or controlled by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

The Arrangement is also subject to the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

If the required TRUBAR Securityholder and court approvals are obtained and all other conditions to the Arrangement are satisfied, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed during the first quarter of 2026.

This Circular provides a detailed description of the Arrangement and includes additional information to assist you in considering how to vote at the Meeting. You are urged to read this information carefully and, if you require assistance, to consult your own financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor.

Your vote is important regardless of the TRUBAR Securities that you own. Whether you are able to attend the Meeting or not, we encourage you to take the time now to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, so that your TRUBAR Securities can be voted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you are a registered Shareholder or a registered Warrantholder, we also encourage you, regardless of how you vote, to complete, sign, date and return the applicable enclosed letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions set forth therein and in the Circular, which will help the Corporation to arrange for the prompt payment for your TRUBAR Securities if the Arrangement is completed.

Proxies must be submitted in accordance with the instructions set out on the applicable form of proxy no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 9, 2026 (or 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, prior to the commencement of the reconvened Meeting if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed).

Yours very truly,

(signed) "Richard Kellam"

Chair of the Special Committee

Registered TRUBAR Securityholders and duly appointed proxyholders who attend the Meeting in person will be able to attend, ask questions and vote at the Meeting. Beneficial (non-registered) TRUBAR Securityholders who receive this notice of special meeting of TRUBAR Securityholders and related materials through their broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, custodian, nominee or other intermediary, should carefully follow the instructions of their intermediary to ensure that your TRUBAR Securities are voted at the Meeting in accordance with such TRUBAR Securityholders' instructions and to arrange for your intermediary to complete the necessary transmittal documents to ensure that you receive payment of the consideration for their TRUBAR Securities if the Arrangement is completed.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Meeting, TRUBAR Securityholders are urged to vote as soon as possible electronically, by telephone or in writing, by following the instructions set out on the applicable form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, which accompanies this notice of special meeting of TRUBAR Securityholders.

If you are a beneficial TRUBAR Securityholder and have received these materials through your broker or through another intermediary, please complete and return the voting instruction form provided to you by your broker or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

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.

Forward-looking statements may include views related to the completion of the Arrangement, the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement, the conduct of the business of the Corporation from the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time the Arrangement Agreement is terminated; covenants of Corporation in relation to the Arrangement; the timing for the implementation of the Arrangement, including the expected Effective Date, structure and effect of the Arrangement; the principal steps of the Arrangement; the receipt of the necessary securityholder and regulatory approvals; the timing of the Meeting; voting at the Meeting; the anticipated time of closing; the anticipated tax treatment of the Arrangement for TRUBAR Securityholders; statements made in and based upon the Fairness Opinion; the amounts received by the directors and senior officers of TRUBAR under the Arrangement; the delisting of the Common Shares and ceasing of the Corporation to be a reporting issuer, and other expectations of the Corporation, and are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "aim", "anticipate", "believe", "budget", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "foresee", "may", "will", "plan", "outlook", "potential", "project", "predict", "seek", "strive", "targeting", "intend", "would", "could", "might", "should", or the negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook.

Such forward-looking statements reflect the Corporation's business judgment based on information currently available to the Corporation at the time they are made and on the Corporation's then-current view of future events and, as such, are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those discussed below. Many factors could cause the Corporation's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.

22


These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general global economic, market and business conditions; governmental and regulatory requirements and actions by governmental authorities; relationships with employees, customers, business partners and competitors; actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises; and diversion of management time on the Arrangement. There are also risks that are inherent in the nature of the Arrangement, including risks related to the Corporation's non-solicitation obligations and the Right to Match; failure to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement, including as a result of a failure to obtain required regulatory, Court, TRUBAR Securityholder and other approvals (or to do so in a timely manner); risks related to the Corporation's obligation under the Arrangement Agreement to not take certain specified actions with respect to its business during the interim period; risks related to and uncertainty as to whether the Arrangement will be completed; the Arrangement may not be completed and the Corporation may be required to pay the Termination Fee (as defined herein); if the Arrangement is not completed, and the Corporation continues as an independent entity, the announcement of the Arrangement and the dedication of substantial resources of the Corporation to the completion of Arrangement could have an impact on the Corporation's current business relationships and could have a material adverse effect on the current and future operations, financial condition and prospects of the Corporation; risks related to the limited monetary remedies available to the Corporation upon termination of the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances, as well as risks related to the interests of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation, which may differ from those of the TRUBAR Securityholders.

The anticipated timeline for completion of the Arrangement may change for numerous reasons, including the inability to secure necessary regulatory, Court, TRUBAR Securityholder or other approvals in the time assumed or the need for additional time to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement.

As a result of the foregoing, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information contained in this Circular. The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors, as other factors could adversely affect the Corporation's results or the Arrangement. Additional risks and uncertainties (i) regarding the Corporation are described in the 2025 AIF and posted on the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com, and (ii) regarding the Arrangement are discussed under the "Risk Factors" section of this Circular.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular are based upon what the Corporation believes are reasonable assumptions, TRUBAR Securityholders are cautioned against placing undue reliance on such statements since actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements. The assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements may include the assumptions that the conditions to complete the Arrangement will be satisfied; that the Arrangement will be completed within the expected time frame at the expected cost; the ability of the Parties to receive, in a timely manner and on satisfactory terms, the necessary regulatory, Court, securityholder and other third party approvals; that the Parties will not fail to complete the Arrangement for any other reason, other expectations and assumptions which management believes are appropriate and reasonable, and the matters discussed under the "Risk Factors" section of this Circular.

Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Circular, and the Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update or revise such statements, except as may be required under applicable Laws.

26


TRUBAR Securityholders, and is in the best interests of TRUBAR; and (c) recommended that the Board recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution.

The Board (subject to the abstention of the Abstaining Directors), after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and, upon careful consideration of, among other things, the Fairness Opinion and advice of legal counsel and financial advisors, unanimously: (a) approved the Arrangement and the entry by TRUBAR into the Arrangement Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby; (b) determined that the Arrangement is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders and is in the best interests of TRUBAR; and (c) resolved to recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution.

Reasons for the Recommendation

In determining that the Arrangement is fair to TRUBAR Securityholders and in the best interest of TRUBAR, and in making their respective recommendations, the Special Committee and the Board considered and relied upon a number of factors, including: (i) the significant premium of the Consideration offered to the market value of the Common Shares; (ii) the certainty of value and immediate liquidity offered by the Arrangement; (iii) the Special Committee's review of alternatives and the status quo; (iv) the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement being the result of comprehensive negotiations; (v) pursuant to the Support Agreements, Supporting Holders holding or controlling approximately 16% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares, 34% of the total number of issued and outstanding Warrants, 68% of the total number of issued and outstanding Options and 97% of the total number of issued and outstanding RSUs have agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement; (vi) the Arrangement has no financing condition and a reasonable likelihood of completion; (vii) the Fairness Opinion provides that as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the scope of review, analysis, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders; (viii) the Board's ability to respond to unsolicited Acquisition Proposals; (ix) the Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement not precluding the possibility of a potential third party Superior Proposal; (x) the Arrangement being subject to requisite TRUBAR Securityholder approval and Court approval; (xi) the fairness of the terms of the Arrangement Agreement to TRUBAR's stakeholders; (xii) the restrictions on TRUBAR's business between the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and the Effective Time (or until the Arrangement Agreement is terminated) are not expected to materially impair the Corporation's business; and (xiii) the availability of the Dissent Rights.

In the course of its deliberations, the Special Committee and the Board, in consultation with TRUBAR management and their legal and financial advisors, also identified and considered a number of potential risks (as described in greater detail under "Risk Factors") and issues relating to the Arrangement (as described under "The Arrangement – Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making their Recommendation – Potential Issues Relating to the Arrangement").

As the Arrangement is a "business combination" (as such term is defined in MI 61-101), the Arrangement requires approval of a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding any votes in respect of Common Shares held by the Excluded Shareholders or related parties and joint actors, with such Excluded Shareholders representing an aggregate of approximately 16.29% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.


For further details on applicability and impact of MI 61-101 on the Arrangement, see "The Arrangement – Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters – Securities Law Matters – Business Combination under MI 61-101".

Stock Exchange De-Listing and Reporting Issuer Status

The Common Shares are currently listed on the TSXV and trade under the stock symbol "TRBR". The Corporation expects that the Common Shares will be de-listed from the TSXV shortly following the Effective Date. It is also expected that the Corporation will apply to cease to be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario after the Effective Date.

Dissent Rights

Registered Shareholders who are Registered Shareholders as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights are entitled to Dissent Rights. Accordingly, a Beneficial Shareholder who desires to exercise Dissent Rights must make arrangements for the registered holder of such Common Shares to dissent on the holder's behalf.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, a Registered Shareholder who was a Registered Shareholder as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights who fully complies with the dissent procedures in sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, is entitled, if (and only if) and when the Arrangement becomes effective, to dissent and to be paid the fair value, determined as of immediately before the passing of the Arrangement Resolution, of the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in respect of which the Shareholder dissents. A Shareholder must exercise their Dissent Rights with respect to all (and not less than all) of the Common Shares beneficially held by such Shareholder. The description included in this Circular of the rights of Dissenting Shareholders is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the "fair value" of such holder's Common Shares, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of: (a) the Interim Order, which is attached as Appendix D to this Circular; (b) the Plan of Arrangement that is attached as Appendix B to this Circular; and (c) the dissent provisions of the BCBCA, which are attached as Appendix G to this Circular.

A Registered Shareholder wishing to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement must send to the Corporation a written Dissent Notice, which Dissent Notice must be received by TRUBAR Inc. c/o Norton Rose Fulbright 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 day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, if applicable), and must otherwise strictly comply with the dissent procedures described in this Circular and the Interim Order, the BCBCA and the Plan of Arrangement.

A Registered Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and strictly comply with the provisions of sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. Failure to strictly comply with these provisions, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, and to adhere to the procedures established therein, may result in the loss of all rights thereunder. It is suggested that Shareholders wishing to avail themselves of their rights under those provisions seek their own legal advice.

For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order and under the BCBCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) a Warrantholder in respect of such holder's Warrants; (ii) an Optionholder in respect of such holder's Options; (iii) an RSUholder in respect of such holder's RSUs; (iv) TRUBAR Securityholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote any TRUBAR Securities, as applicable, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution; and (v) any other Person who is not a Registered Shareholder as of the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights.

See "Dissent Rights of Shareholders" for further details.

Risk Factors

The Arrangement may not be completed. If the Arrangement is not completed, the Corporation will continue to face the risks that it currently faces and may face additional risks with respect to its affairs, business and operations and future prospects. Additionally, failure to complete the Arrangement could materially and negatively impact the trading price of the Common Shares. These and other risk factors described under "Risk Factors" should be carefully considered by TRUBAR Securityholders.

Income Tax Considerations

Shareholders should carefully read the information under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Circular, which sets out a general summary of certain tax considerations that may be applicable to Shareholders. Such disclosure is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any particular TRUBAR Securityholders. TRUBAR Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

You will find an applicable form of proxy enclosed.


33

Voting by Proxy

Registered Securityholders can attend the Meeting and vote in person or in advance by proxy. Voting by proxy means you are giving the directors or officers of TRUBAR named in your form of proxy (or a third-party proxyholder as discussed below) the authority to attend the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, and vote your TRUBAR Securities for you. To be effective, the applicable enclosed form of proxy in respect of your (a) Common Shares and Warrants must be received by the Transfer Agent: (i) by mail to Odyssey Trust Company, Attention: Proxy Department, Suite 1100-67 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M5E 1J8, Canada; (ii) by facsimile to 1-800-517-4553; or (iii) online at https://login.odysseytrust.com/pxlogin, and (b) Options and RSUs must be received by Norton Rose Fulbright (i) by mail to Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, 222 Bay Street, Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1E7, Attention: Sam Zadeh or (ii) by e-mail to [email protected]. In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, proxies must be returned to the Transfer Agent or Norton Rose Fulbright, as applicable, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 9, 2026 (or 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, prior to the commencement of the reconvened Meeting if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed), unless the Chair of the Meeting determines to waive or extend the deadline, which may be done in the sole discretion of the Chair of the Meeting. By doing this, you are giving the directors or officers of TRUBAR who are named in the form of proxy the authority to vote your TRUBAR Securities at the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

You can choose a third-party proxyholder to be your proxyholder, including someone who is not a TRUBAR Securityholder or the person designated in the enclosed proxy. You can do so by following the instructions set out below under "Appointment of Proxies".

Voting at the Meeting

A Registered Securityholder does not need to complete or return a form of proxy if it plans to attend and vote at the Meeting. However, to ensure your representation at the Meeting, we encourage you to return the enclosed proxy or voting instruction form, whether or not you plan to attend in person. Sending your proxy or voting instruction form will not prevent you from voting in person at the Meeting.

If you appoint a proxyholder to vote your TRUBAR Securities, your proxyholder must attend and vote at the Meeting. Regardless of who you appoint as your proxyholder, you can either instruct that appointee how you would like to vote or you can let your appointee decide for you. You can do this by completing the applicable form or forms of proxy.

Changing your Vote

A Registered Securityholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke the proxy by delivering a signed instrument in writing, including another proxy bearing a later date, to the same address where the form of proxy was sent at any time up to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) two (2) Business Days preceding the Meeting, or if adjourned or postponed, preceding such reconvened Meeting, executed by the Registered Securityholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Securityholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, by depositing such instrument with the Transfer Agent or Norton Rose Fulbright, as applicable, before the deadline for filing proxies, or in any other manner permitted by Law or the articles of the Corporation. The revocation of a proxy does not, however, affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

If a Registered Securityholder revokes their proxy and does not replace it with another that is deposited before the deadline, they can still vote their TRUBAR Securities, but to do so they must attend the Meeting and follow the procedures for voting in person at the Meeting.

If a Registered Securityholder casts a vote at the Meeting, such Registered Securityholder will thereby revoke any previously submitted proxy. Registered Securityholders who do not wish to revoke a previously submitted proxy should not vote during the Meeting.


34

Beneficial Securityholder

If you are a beneficial (non-registered) TRUBAR Securityholder (a "Beneficial Securityholder"), meaning your TRUBAR Securities are held in the name of an intermediary ("Intermediary") (such as a bank, trust company or securities broker) or in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS), your Intermediary will be the entity legally entitled to vote your TRUBAR Securities.

If you are a Beneficial Securityholder, you will have received these materials from your Intermediary or its agent (such as Broadridge), and your Intermediary is required to seek your instructions as to the manner in which to exercise the voting rights attached to your TRUBAR Securities. Your Intermediary will generally provide you with a voting instruction form or a proxy form. You should follow the voting instructions provided by your Intermediary.

Beneficial Securityholders have the option of not objecting to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about them to TRUBAR (such Beneficial Securityholder are designated as non-objecting beneficial owners, or "NOBOs") or objecting to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about them to TRUBAR (such Beneficial Securityholder are designated as objecting beneficial owners, or "OBOs"). In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, the Corporation has elected to send the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and a voting instruction form, instead of a proxy, directly to the NOBOs and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBOs. The Corporation has agreed to pay for Intermediaries to deliver to OBOs the proxy-related materials and the relevant voting instruction form.

Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which you should carefully follow in order to ensure that your TRUBAR Securities are voted at the Meeting. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge, who mails a scannable voting instruction form. You are asked to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, you may vote online at www.proxyvote.com or by telephone using the number listed on the voting instruction form. The Corporation may utilize the Broadridge QuickVote™ service to assist shareholders with voting their shares.

Voting at the Meeting

Should a Beneficial Securityholder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Beneficial Securityholder), the Beneficial Securityholder should follow the instructions for voting at the Meeting that are provided on the voting instruction form or form of proxy, as applicable, and refer to the instructions set out below under "Appointment of Proxies".

For greater certainty, Beneficial Securityholder should be aware that they are not entitled to use a voting instruction form or proxy form received from Broadridge or their Intermediary to vote their TRUBAR Securities directly at the Meeting. Instead, the Beneficial Securityholder must complete the voting instruction form or proxy form and return it as instructed on the form. The Beneficial Securityholder must complete these steps well in advance of the Meeting in order to ensure such TRUBAR Securities are voted.

Changing your Vote

If you have already sent your completed voting instruction form to your Intermediary and you change your mind about your voting instructions, or want to vote at the Meeting, contact your Intermediary to find out whether this is possible and what procedure to follow.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

On any ballot that may be called for, the TRUBAR Securities represented by a properly executed proxy given in favour of the person(s) designated in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, and if the


TRUBAR Securityholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, such TRUBAR Securities will be voted accordingly.

If you do not specify on your proxy form how you want a proxyholder appointed by you (other than the management nominees) to vote your TRUBAR Securities, then your proxyholder can vote your TRUBAR Securities as such proxyholder sees fit. TRUBAR Securities represented by properly executed proxies in favour of the management nominees of the Corporation as designated in the proxy will be voted for or against the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy. If a proxy appointing management nominees does not contain voting instructions, the TRUBAR Securities represented by such proxies will be voted "FOR" the Arrangement Resolution.

How the Votes will be Counted

Proxies in respect of Common Shares and 2024 PP Warrants will be counted by the Transfer Agent and proxies in respect of TRUBAR Securities other than Common Shares and 2024 PP Warrants will be counted by TRUBAR or Norton Rose Fulbright.

Appointment of Proxies

The following applies to TRUBAR Securityholders who wish to appoint a person (a "third-party proxyholder") other than the management nominees identified in the form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, as proxyholder, including Beneficial Securityholder who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to attend and vote at the Meeting.

TRUBAR Securityholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to attend at the Meeting as their proxyholder and vote their TRUBAR Securities MUST submit their form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, appointing that person as proxyholder.

In submitting your form of proxy or voting instruction form to appoint a third-party proxyholder, insert that person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (if permitted) and follow the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. If you are a Beneficial Securityholder and wish to vote at the Meeting (or have another person attend and vote on your behalf), you must insert your own name (or the name of the person you want to attend and vote on your behalf) in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your Intermediary, follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your Intermediary. By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you (or such other third-party proxyholder) as proxyholder. If your Intermediary receives a written request that you or your nominee be appointed as proxyholder, unless prohibited by law, your Intermediary must arrange, without expense to you, to appoint you or your nominee as proxyholder in respect of those TRUBAR Securities. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your Intermediary.

If you appoint a third-party proxyholder, other than the management nominees identified in the form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, as proxyholder, including Beneficial Securityholder who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to attend and vote at the Meeting, such third-party proxyholder will need to attend the Meeting in order for your vote to be counted.

The proxyholder has discretion under the enclosed form of proxy to consider matters to come before the Meeting. The persons named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority with respect to: (a) any amendments or variations of the matters of business to be acted on at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; and (b) any other matters properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, in each instance, to the extent permitted by law, whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is routine and whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is contested.

35


As of the date of this Circular, management of TRUBAR knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting, other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting accompanying the Circular.

THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement

The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, together with the Support Agreements and other agreements executed concurrently therewith, are the result of extensive arm's length negotiations conducted among representatives of TRUBAR, the Special Committee and the Parent and its affiliates, with the assistance of their respective legal and financial advisors. The following is a summary of the material meetings, negotiations, discussions and principal events involving the Board, the Special Committee and the Parent and its affiliates leading up to the execution and public announcement of the Arrangement Agreement.

The Corporation is an international brand accelerator in the global protein-based nutrition category, delivering premium protein products made with clean ingredients, exceptional taste, and a commitment to sustainable health and wellness. The Corporation's primary source of revenue is the sale of plant-based TRUBAR protein bars for health-conscious consumers, conducted under its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tru Brands, Inc. The Board and senior management of TRUBAR, with the assistance of outside advisors, has regularly engaged in the evaluation of TRUBAR's business, operations and long-term strategic outlook, with the goal of maximizing Shareholder value. In response to an evolving commercial landscape, including intensifying retail competition, rising input and operating costs and the need for significant investment in brand development and innovation, together with the substantial time and expense of public-company regulatory and reporting requirements, the Corporation has regularly assessed the strategic alternatives available to it, including potential strategic combinations, acquisitions and divestitures.

As part of its discussions from time to time with other food industry participants, including the Parent, representatives of TRUBAR have considered various business opportunities, including strategic partnerships, investments and other commercial relationships.

In March, 2025, the Corporation engaged in discussions with the Parent regarding potential collaborations between TRUBAR and the Parent. Following those discussions, in June, 2025, the Corporation was

37


38

approached by the Parent to seek the provision of certain non-public information to the Parent's advisors in order to allow the Parent to assess the potential for a transaction involving the Corporation.

In response to this, the Board held discussions regarding a potential transaction involving the Parent and, in considering the best interests of the Corporation (including all stakeholders of the Corporation), considered it a reasonable course of action to explore a potential arrangement with the Parent. Accordingly, on April 10, 2025, the Corporation's subsidiary, Tru Brands, Inc., entered into the Confidentiality Agreement with the Parent.

Following a series of meetings and discussions between representatives of the Corporation and the Parent that transpired over the subsequent months, during which time the Parent commenced its preliminary due diligence investigations, on June 10, 2025, the Board received a draft non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with respect to a potential sale of all or substantially all of the assets and related business of TRUBAR to the Parent. The draft LOI contemplated the transaction consideration as a combination of cash and a post-closing contingent earnout payment payable upon the Corporation achieving mutually agreed revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization thresholds over a four (4) year period following completion of the proposed transaction. The draft LOI also contemplated a 60-day exclusivity period (the "Exclusivity Period").

Between June 10, 2025 and June 18, 2025, after various negotiations and discussions between the Corporation and the Parent and their respective advisors, the terms and conditions of the LOI were finalized among the Parties. During this period, the Board engaged with its financial advisors and certain industry experts to ascertain the range of pricing for transactions of the nature proposed by the Parent. Upon an assessment of historical transactions in the space and the input of industry experts, the Board determined that the premium being offered by the Purchaser was above market given the stage of TRUBAR's growth trajectory. In light of the advice of industry experts and after consideration of historical transactions, the Board determined that the proposed price range was a significant premium to market and that proceeding with a formal process would put the proposed transaction at risk. Following an assessment of the terms and conditions of the LOI, the Board determined that the entering into of the LOI was advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation and authorized the Corporation to enter into the LOI. The LOI was executed on June 18, 2025.

Throughout its consideration of the LOI, the Board acknowledged potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising from the potential transaction and sought the advice of legal counsel on the appropriate steps to be taken. On June 23, 2025, the Board deemed it appropriate to establish the Special Committee, comprised of Richard Kellam, H. Brock Bundy and St. John Walshe, to consider and evaluate whether the potential transaction was in the best interests of the Corporation, including the effects of the potential transaction on the TRUBAR Securityholders and other stakeholders of the Corporation.

In selecting Messrs. Kellam, Bundy and Walshe to act as members of the Special Committee, the Board considered, among other things, their industry and transactional experience and determined that none of them had a relationship that could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of their judgement in respect of a potential transaction with the Purchaser. Further, none of Messrs. Kellam, Bundy or Walshe were or are officers or employees of the Corporation and all of them were and are independent directors of the Corporation under National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committee and National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices.

As it was not anticipated that the Corporation would be required to obtain a formal valuation in connection with the potential transaction or that the Special Committee would be required to make a determination in respect of the value of any benefit to be received by a related party, in each case in accordance with MI 61-101, the Board determined that, in the context of the potential transaction, the Special Committee was sufficiently independent for purposes of MI 61-101. Furthermore, each of the members of the Special Committee acknowledged that certain compensation paid to them (such as the Subject Director Payments) may be considered a "collateral benefit" for the purposes of MI 61-101 and, accordingly, determined that in the case of the payment of such compensation each member's votes would be required to be excluded for the purposes of the minority approval requirements under MI 61-101.


Norton Rose Fulbright was engaged to act as legal advisor to the Special Committee. Concurrently with the formation of the Special Committee, the members of the Special Committee, together with Norton Rose Fulbright, carefully prepared a broad mandate for the Special Committee to, among other things, review and consider the potential transaction and make recommendations to the Board on whether such potential transaction (or other alternative transactions) would, if consummated, be in the best interests of the Corporation and fair to TRUBAR Securityholders and other stakeholders of the Corporation. Norton Rose Fulbright also briefed the members of the Special Committee regarding their duties under applicable Laws, including their obligation to protect the interests of the minority shareholders and to consider the impact of the potential transaction on the Corporation's other stakeholders.

The Board approved the Special Committee's mandate, without modification, and authorized the Special Committee to engage financial and other advisors and to negotiate or oversee the negotiation of the terms of a potential transaction with the Parent. As part of such approvals, Mr. Kellam was appointed to act as Chair of the Special Committee.

In the weeks of June 22, June 29 and July 5, 2025, the Special Committee met by video conference and corresponded regularly with Norton Rose Fulbright in respect of several matters related to the potential transaction, including the treatment of the interests of Warrantholders, Optionholders and RSUholders in connection with the potential transaction and the features and related tax considerations of the proposed transaction structure. During this time, the Corporation engaged Clarus, a boutique institutional investment dealer in which J.R. Kingsley Ward, Executive Chairman of the Corporation, is an investor and for which he acts as Chairman, as a financial advisor to the Corporation, to, among other things, assist the Corporation with structuring, capital markets strategy and financial analysis in respect of the potential transaction contemplated by the LOI. For these services, Clarus received a fixed fee in the amount of $200,000, which fixed fee is not conditional on completion of the Arrangement (the "Clarus Work Fee").

On July 10, 2025, representatives of the Corporation and the Parent met by videoconference to discuss various structuring matters and the timing of the potential transaction.

In the subsequent weeks, the Parent advanced its due diligence investigations and consideration of the potential transaction. During this time, it became reasonably apparent that the proposed structure of the transaction as a sale of all or substantially all of the assets and related business of TRUBAR was not feasible to TRUBAR from a tax impact perspective. As a result, the Parties agreed to mutually assess the feasibility of a share sale in the form of the Arrangement, being a statutory plan of arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the BCBCA, giving consideration to the commercial terms initially proposed by the Parent under the LOI.

On August 14, 2025, the Special Committee met by video conference to receive advice from Norton Rose Fulbright in respect of its legal obligations, including a discussion of market practice regarding the receipt of a fairness opinion from an independent financial advisor, "majority of the minority" shareholder approval and other requirements under applicable securities laws in the event that a potential transaction by way of an arrangement and further negotiations with the Parent were to proceed. At this meeting, the Special Committee and Norton Rose Fulbright also discussed transaction costs, the requirement to prepare proxy materials, the Corporation's disclosure obligations regarding the Arrangement, the court process for the Arrangement under the BCBCA and general market perception.

On August 17, 2025, the Exclusivity Period under the LOI expired. Following the conclusion of the Exclusivity Period, the Corporation and the Parent determined to continue their discussions on a nonexclusive basis in order to further assess the potential transaction and determine whether the parties could reach mutually acceptable terms.

On August 28, 2025, Norton Rose Fulbright received an initial draft of the Arrangement Agreement prepared by Parent's Counsel, together with a list of discussion points identified by the Parent (the "Deal Points").

On August 29, 2025, the Special Committee met by video conference with Norton Rose Fulbright to discuss the draft arrangement agreement and the Deal Points. At this meeting, Norton Rose Fulbright presented

39


the Deal Points to the Special Committee, which presentation included a discussion of initial issues in respect of the Arrangement Agreement and the appropriateness and reasonableness of the Deal Points, including their adherence to customary market standards. The Special Committee engaged in a discussion regarding the Corporation's strategy for de-risking the potential transaction, including from a deal certainty perspective and with respect to the contingent-value rights (the "CVRs"), which has been introduced to replicate, in an Arrangement context, the post-closing earnout mechanism that was contemplated under the prior asset sale structure under the LOI. The Special Committee also considered the Corporation's current financial performance and its trading price and market capitalization in the context of the potential transaction and, supported by advice from Norton Rose Fulbright, considered a range of outcomes, including the Corporation's future business plan if it were to maintain status quo. Taking these considerations as a whole, the Special Committee determined that it was in the best interests of all stakeholders of the Corporation to continue negotiation with the Parent and authorized Mr. Kellam, as Chair of the Special Committee, to continue to negotiate with the Parent on the Corporation's behalf in view of settling the Deal Points.

Between August 30, 2025 and September 5, 2025, the Special Committee and the Parent, together with their respective legal and financial advisors, participated in further negotiations and discussions with respect to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement, including the magnitude and form of the transaction consideration. The Special Committee considered that an all-cash consideration transaction was a more attractive alternative to TRUBAR Securityholders given it afforded greater certainty of value; however, the Parent indicated that it was unwilling to proceed with an all-cash offer at that time. See "The Arrangement – Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making their Recommendation – Reasons for the Recommendation". During this period, the Special Committee continued to evaluate alternatives to the potential transaction, including maintaining the status quo.

During the week of August 31, 2025, the Special Committee initiated a series of interviews with potential independent financial advisors to assist the Special Committee in evaluating the potential transaction, considering alternatives and assessing the consideration payable under the potential transaction. Following a comprehensive assessment of such advisors, including an assessment of each of their qualifications to prepare a formal fairness opinion and with respect to their independence, the Special Committee determined that it would be appropriate for the Special Committee to engage MNP as independent financial advisor to the Special Committee.

On September 6, 2025, Norton Rose Fulbright, on behalf of the Special Committee, circulated a revised draft of the Arrangement Agreement to Parent's Counsel, which reflected the Special Committee's position on various of the Deal Points.

During the week of September 8, 2025, the Parties and their respective legal counsels continued to negotiate the draft Arrangement Agreement and members of the Special Committee continued discussions with the Purchaser, both with and without their respective legal and financial advisors, regarding the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, including the form of transaction consideration and the terms of the proposed CVRs.

On September 9, 2025, the Corporation formalized its engagement of MNP by entering into an engagement letter with MNP pursuant to which MNP agreed to provide an opinion as to the fairness of the consideration to be received by TRUBAR Securityholders in connection with a transaction. See "The Arrangement – Fairness Opinion".

On September 11 and September 12, 2025, Parent's Counsel circulated preliminary drafts of the Plan of Arrangement and the form of Support Agreement, as well as a draft CVR agreement (the "CVR Agreement"), for TRUBAR's consideration. Over the course of the week of September 15, 2025, the Special Committee supervised Norton Rose Fulbright's review of the preliminary draft transaction documents and, following discussion with and input from the Special Committee, Norton Rose Fulbright, on behalf of the Special Committee, circulated revised drafts of the foregoing agreements to Parent's Counsel.

Meanwhile, over the course of August through to the beginning of October 2025, settlement discussions between TRUBAR and Daniel E. Straffi, Chapter 7 Trustee (the "Chapter 7 Trustee") in respect of the bankruptcy estate of PureKana (the "Estate") had been advancing based on negotiations led by TRUBAR's legal counsel. The Board pursued such discussions as it believed a settlement would position TRUBAR to successfully pursue all strategic alternatives available to it, as well as provide the Corporation with financial flexibility and a streamlined portfolio and support the growth of the Corporation's brand and maximize Shareholder value.

In the weeks leading up to October 2025, it became reasonably apparent to the Board that the Corporation and the Chapter 7 Trustee would be successful in entering into a settlement. Before the opening of markets on October 10, 2025, TRUBAR announced that it and certain of its affiliates entered into a settlement agreement with the Estate to provide for mutual releases of the Corporation and the Chapter 7 Trustee in connection with the Estate and the Bankruptcy Case (the "Settlement Agreement").

Leading up to the announcement of the Settlement Agreement, the Parent's due diligence investigations became focused on the Bankruptcy Case. As a result, the Parent communicated its position to the Corporation and the Special Committee that, in order to complete the Arrangement, it would require additional protections in respect of, among other risks, the Bankruptcy Case.

As a result of this, J.R. Kingsley Ward, Executive Chairman of the Corporation, committed to have his affiliate, being the Indemnitor, provide an indemnity in favour of the Parent, a U.S. affiliate of the Parent, the Purchaser and the Corporation in order to provide the required protection. See "The Arrangement – Indemnity Agreement". In connection with the Indemnity Agreement, the Special Committee conferred with the Corporation's insurance advisors and obtained a series of quotes and proposals for insurance coverage in order to assess the market cost of the required indemnity.

Norton Rose Fulbright, on behalf of the Special Committee, prepared and circulated an initial draft of the Indemnity Agreement to Parent's Counsel on October 3, 2025. In the following weeks, the Parties, with their respective legal counsel in attendance, met by videoconference and corresponded regularly to discuss the terms and conditions of the Indemnity Agreement, culminating in Parent's Counsel circulating, on October 15, 2025, a revised draft Indemnity Agreement to Norton Rose Fulbright.

On October 17, 2025, Parent's Counsel circulated to Norton Rose Fulbright further revised drafts of the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and the form of Support Agreement. At this time, the draft Arrangement Agreement contemplated certain revisions, including the transition to an all-cash transaction through the removal of the CVRs as a portion of the transaction consideration, reflecting the Special Committee's desire that Shareholders be afforded certainty of value.

On October 28, 2025, Norton Rose Fulbright, on behalf of the Special Committee, circulated to Parent's Counsel revised drafts of the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, the form of Support Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement for the Parent.

On November 6, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of New Jersey granted an order to approve the Settlement Agreement. The Chapter 7 Trustee did not receive any objections in respect of the Settlement Agreement, which proceeded unopposed and without objection.

Beginning on November 14, 2025, Parent's Counsel circulated a revised draft of the Indemnity Agreement, followed, on November 15, 2025, by revised drafts of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The Special Committee met by video conference with Norton Rose Fulbright to discuss the terms and conditions of the revised Arrangement Agreement and, in connection with such meetings, continued to assess the relative benefits and risks of various alternatives to the Arrangement, including continued execution of the Corporation's existing strategic plan.

On November 18, 2025, Norton Rose Fulbright, on behalf of the Special Committee, circulated revised drafts of the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, the form of Support Agreement and the

41


Indemnity Agreement to Parent's Counsel. At this time, the Plan of Arrangement and the forms Support Agreement were considered substantially settled by the Parties. From November 19, 2025 though to signing of the Arrangement Agreement, Parent's Counsel and Norton Rose Fulbright exchanged further drafts of the Arrangement Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement and also finalized the draft announcement of the Arrangement.

From early November 2025 through to the signing of the Arrangement Agreement, as part of its review process, the Special Committee specifically considered a number of matters relating to proceeding with the Arrangement, including whether the Consideration is likely to represent greater value than would reasonably be expected from the continued execution of the Corporation's existing strategic plan and whether it was reasonable to expect that the Corporation could consummate an alternative change of control transaction, on terms that were more favourable to TRUBAR Securityholders than the Arrangement. See also "The Arrangement – Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making their Recommendation".

On November 22, 2025, the Special Committee met by videoconference with representatives of MNP and Norton Rose Fulbright to review the proposed final terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Arrangement and related matters. At such meeting, MNP also delivered to the Special Committee the verbal Fairness Opinion. See "The Arrangement – Fairness Opinion".

As a result of the Special Committee having undertaken a thorough review and assessment of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement, and the receipt of advice from Norton Rose Fulbright and MNP, including the receipt of the verbal Fairness Opinion, and, after considering the potential benefits and risks in proceeding with the Arrangement (including as further described under "The Arrangement – Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making their Recommendation"), on November 22, 2025, the Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Board approve the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement and proceed with the proposed Arrangement on the basis that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the TRUBAR Securityholders and is in the best interests of the Corporation.

Immediately following the Special Committee meeting, the Board convened to review the Arrangement and the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement. Following the Board's discussion and after considering, among other things, the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board unanimously determined that the Arrangement (including the Consideration) is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board unanimously authorized the Corporation to proceed with the Arrangement and to enter into the Arrangement Agreement, and resolved to unanimously recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. See "The Arrangement – Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making Their Recommendation".

The compensation committee of the Board, upon the recommendation of an arm's length human resources advisory firm, further recommended, and the Board approved, subject to completion of the Arrangement, a one-time payment to certain directors and officers of the Corporation due to their significant contributions to the Corporation during the prior 15 to 24 month period, including with respect to the Bankruptcy Case, upon completion of the Arrangement. See "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon – Other Compensation". Given that the Corporation is not required to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101 in connection with the Arrangement, the Board was not required to make a determination regarding whether the members of the Special Committee qualified as independent directors within the meaning of MI 61-101, but considered the impact of such awards, including the Subject Director Payments, and determined that the provision of such awards, including the Subject Director Payments, was not expected to adversely affect the ability of the members of the Special Committee to carry out their mandate independently.

In the evening of November 23, 2025, the Parent, the Purchaser and the Corporation entered into the Arrangement Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement and the Parent entered into the Support Agreements with the Supporting Holders holding or controlling approximately $16\%$ of the total number of

42


issued and outstanding Common Shares, 34% of the total number of issued and outstanding Warrants, 68% of the total number of issued and outstanding Options and 97% of the total number of issued and outstanding RSUs.

Before the opening of markets on November 24, 2025, the Parties publicly announced the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement. A copy of the Arrangement Agreement has been filed on the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com.

Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making their Recommendation

Reasons for the Recommendation

In determining that the Arrangement is in the best interest of TRUBAR, and in making their respective recommendations, the Special Committee and the Board considered and relied upon a number of factors, including, among others, those listed below. The Special Committee and the Board did not attempt to assign relative weights to the various factors and individual members of the Special Committee and the Board may have given different weights to different factors. The following discussion of the information and factors considered and evaluated by the Special Committee and the Board is not intended to be exhaustive of all factors considered and evaluated by the Special Committee and the Board. The conclusions and recommendations of the Special Committee and the Board were made in light of the totality of the information and factors considered.

The following includes forward-looking information and the reasons for the recommendation and potential issues are subject to various risks and assumptions. See "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors".

  • Significant Premium to Market Value. The Consideration to be paid pursuant to the Arrangement for each Common Share represents a 64% premium to the last closing price of the Common Shares prior to the announcement of the Arrangement and a 102% premium to the sixty (60) day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSXV.
  • Certainty of Value and Immediate Liquidity. The Consideration is payable entirely in cash. By receiving the Consideration upon the completion of the Arrangement, TRUBAR Securityholders are provided with immediate liquidity and certainty of value and are able to eliminate the investment risk associated with owning shares of a corporation operating in a volatile business and economic environment, as well as exposure to other risks that are beyond the Corporation and its management's control.
  • Special Committee. The Special Committee is comprised of Richard Kellam (Chair), H. Brock Bundy and St. John Walshe, who were and are free from any interest and any business or other relationship with TRUBAR and the Purchaser that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interest of TRUBAR. The process of the Special Committee included the retention of Norton Rose Fulbright as legal advisor and MNP as independent financial advisor.
  • Review of Alternatives and the Status Quo. Prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement, the Special Committee, with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors, and based upon their collective knowledge of the business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects of the Corporation, as well as their collective knowledge of the current and prospective environment in which the Corporation operates (including economic and political conditions), assessed the relative benefits and risks of various alternatives to the Arrangement, including continued execution of the Corporation's existing strategic plan and the possibility of soliciting other potential buyers of the Corporation. As part of that process, the Special Committee concluded that the Consideration is likely to represent greater value than would reasonably be expected from the continued execution of the Corporation's existing strategic plan, in light of the highly competitive

43


nature of the better-for-you wellness packaged goods industry, rising costs of raw materials, labour and transportation, the substantial capital and resources required to implement the Corporation's strategic plan and the limited availability and high cost of such capital if the Corporation remained publicly listed, and it was not reasonable to expect that the Corporation could consummate an alternative change of control transaction on terms that were more favourable to TRUBAR Securityholders than the Arrangement. The Special Committee continually assessed alternatives throughout the process of evaluating and negotiating the Arrangement and, ultimately, concluded that entering into the Arrangement Agreement was the most favourable alternative reasonably available.

  • Comprehensive Negotiations. The Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement are the result of a comprehensive negotiation process that was undertaken with the oversight and participation of the Special Committee and the participation of legal counsel and financial advisors, which resulted in arm's length negotiations and an agreement with terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the Special Committee and the Board.

  • Support Agreements. The Supporting Holders have entered into Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote the TRUBAR Securities over which they exercise voting control in favour of the Arrangement. In the aggregate, Supporting Holders holding or controlling approximately 16% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares, 34% of the issued and outstanding Warrants, 68% of the total number of issued and outstanding Options and 97% of the issued and outstanding RSUs, have agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement. In the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, obligations under the Support Agreements automatically terminate.

  • No Financing Condition and Reasonable Likelihood of Completion. The Purchaser's obligations under the Arrangement Agreement are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Parent, who has demonstrated commitment and credit worthiness which is indicative of the ability of the Parent to complete the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement. The Arrangement is not subject to a financing condition and the Purchaser has represented that, as of the Effective Date, the Purchaser will have sufficient funds available to satisfy the aggregate Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. Further, the Arrangement is otherwise subject to a limited number of customary conditions.

  • Fairness Opinion. MNP, the independent financial advisor to the Special Committee, has provided the Special Committee with the Fairness Opinion to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the scope of review, analysis, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. See "The Arrangement – Fairness Opinion".

  • Ability to Respond to Superior Proposals. The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement do not prevent a third party from making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal. Subject to compliance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Board is not precluded from considering and responding to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Superior Proposal at any time prior to obtaining the approval by TRUBAR Securityholders of the Arrangement Resolution. In the event that a Superior Proposal is made and not matched by the Purchaser, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by TRUBAR and TRUBAR may enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, subject to the payment by the Corporation to the Purchaser of the Termination Fee in certain circumstances.

  • Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement. In certain circumstances, upon the termination of the Arrangement Agreement, TRUBAR will be obligated to pay the Purchaser the Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement. In the view of the Special Committee and the Board, such fees would not preclude the possibility of a third party making a Superior Proposal. See "The

44


Arrangement Agreement – Termination of the Arrangement Agreement – Termination Fees and Expenses".

  • TRUBAR Securityholder and Court Approval. The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least: (a) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share held; (b) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by TRUBAR Securityholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per TRUBAR Security held; and (c) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes cast in respect of Common Shares that are held or controlled by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101. The Arrangement must also be approved by the Court, which will consider the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement to TRUBAR Securityholders.
  • Fair Treatment. In the Special Committee's and the Board's respective views, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement treat stakeholders of TRUBAR equitably and fairly, including payment of equivalent consideration to holders of the TRUBAR Securities other than the Common Shares on a per Common Share as-converted basis, and the Arrangement is expected to benefit TRUBAR and such stakeholders of TRUBAR.
  • Interim Period Restrictions. The restrictions on TRUBAR's business until the Arrangement is completed or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated are reasonable and are not expected to impair or materially affect TRUBAR's business during such period.
  • Availability of Dissent Rights. Shareholders who oppose the Arrangement may, upon compliance with certain conditions, exercise Dissent Rights and, if ultimately successful, receive fair value for their Common Shares.

Potential Issues Relating to the Arrangement

In the course of their deliberations, the Special Committee and the Board, in consultation with TRUBAR management and their legal and financial advisors, also considered a number of potential risks (as described in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors") and issues relating to the Arrangement, including the following:

  • Non-Solicitation. TRUBAR's non-solicitation obligations under the Arrangement Agreement and the Purchaser's right to match a Superior Proposal under the Arrangement Agreement and the quantum of the Expense Reimbursement, may discourage other parties from making a Superior Proposal. The Special Committee and the Board understood that such restrictions could limit the possibility that a Superior Proposal will emerge.
  • Conditions to Closing. Closing of the Arrangement is subject to certain conditions, including securityholder approval, which may not be forthcoming or satisfied.
  • Interim Period Restrictions. Under the Arrangement Agreement, TRUBAR has agreed, among other things, to operate its business in a certain manner during the period from the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Such restrictions may prevent TRUBAR from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Arrangement.
  • Non-Completion Risks. The risks to TRUBAR if the Arrangement is not completed, including the costs to TRUBAR in pursuing the Arrangement and the diversion of TRUBAR's management team

45


from the conduct of its day-to-day business, the potential impact on TRUBAR's current business relationships (including with current and prospective customers, employees, suppliers, joint venture partners and other industry partners) and the potential adverse effect on the market price of the Common Shares.

  • No Continued Benefit of TRUBAR Security Ownership. If the Arrangement is completed, TRUBAR will no longer exist as an independent publicly-traded Canadian company and Shareholders will be unable to participate in the longer-term potential benefits of the business of TRUBAR, including any benefits that may result from any improvement in TRUBAR's financial results, including as a result of current, recent or future contracts that may be awarded to TRUBAR.
  • Parties' Respective Rights to Terminate. Each of the Corporation and the Purchaser has the right, in certain circumstances, in addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement.
  • Taxes. The Arrangement Agreement results in certain income tax consequences to the TRUBAR Securityholders. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".
  • Benefits of Certain Directors and Officers. Certain of the Corporation's directors and/or officers may receive additional and separate benefits in their capacity as such in connection with the Arrangement, than those received by the TRUBAR Securityholders generally in connection with the Arrangement. See "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon".
  • Transaction Costs. The Corporation has incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs and expenses in connection with the Arrangement, regardless of whether the Arrangement is completed.

Recommendation of the Special Committee

The Special Committee, upon careful consideration of, among other things, the Fairness Opinion and advice of independent legal counsel and financial advisors, unanimously:

  • recommended that the Board approve the Arrangement and the entry by the Corporation into the Arrangement Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby;
  • determined that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the TRUBAR Securityholders, and is in the best interests of the Corporation; and
  • recommended that the Board recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board (subject to the abstention of the Abstaining Directors), after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and, upon careful consideration of, among other things, the Fairness Opinion and advice of legal counsel and financial advisors, unanimously:

  • approved the Arrangement and the entry by the Corporation into the Arrangement Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby;
  • determined that the Arrangement is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders and is in the best interests of the Corporation; and

  • resolved to recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution (the "Board Recommendation").

Fairness Opinion

MNP was retained by the Special Committee to act as its independent financial advisor in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to an engagement agreement dated September 9, 2025 (the "MNP Engagement Agreement"). Pursuant to the MNP Engagement Agreement, MNP agreed to, among other things, provide the Special Committee with services related to the Arrangement, including a fairness opinion to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the scope of review, analysis, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

At a meeting of the Special Committee held on November 22, 2025, MNP orally delivered to the Special Committee, and subsequently confirmed in writing the fairness opinion to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the scope of review, analysis, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. The full text of the Fairness Opinion, setting out, among other things, the scope of review, assumptions made, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the Fairness Opinion, is attached as Appendix C to this Circular. This summary of the Fairness Opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

Pursuant to the terms of the MNP Engagement Agreement, the Corporation agreed to pay MNP a fixed fee for rendering the Fairness Opinion that is not conditional on completion of the Arrangement. TRUBAR has also agreed to reimburse MNP for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services and to indemnify MNP against certain liabilities that might arise out of its engagement. The Fairness Opinion was prepared at the request of and for the information and assistance of the Special Committee in connection with its consideration of the Arrangement.

The Fairness Opinion is not a recommendation to any TRUBAR Securityholder as to how to vote on the Arrangement Resolution or act on any matter relating to the Arrangement or a recommendation to the Special Committee to enter into the Arrangement Agreement. The Fairness Opinion does not address any other aspect of the Arrangement and no opinion or view was expressed as to the relative merits of the Arrangement in comparison to other strategies or transactions that might be available to the Corporation or in which the Corporation might engage or as to the underlying business decision of the Corporation to proceed with or effect the Arrangement. The Fairness Opinion is only one factor that was taken into consideration by the Special Committee in making its unanimous recommendation to the Board that the Board determine that the Arrangement is in the best interest of the Corporation and that the Consideration is fair to the Shareholders, that the Board authorize the Corporation to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. See "The Arrangement – Considerations of the Special Committee and the Board in Making their Recommendation – Reasons for the Recommendation". Neither MNP nor any of its affiliates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as such terms are defined in applicable Securities Laws) of the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation or any of their respective associates or affiliates.

The Special Committee and the Board urge Shareholders to review the Fairness Opinion carefully and in its entirety. See Appendix C of this Circular.

Description of the Arrangement

The following summary of the Plan of Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B.

(a) the holder of such Common Share will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the Consideration per Common Share in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement;
(b) the name of such holder will be removed from the register of holders of Common Shares maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation; and
(c) the Purchaser will be recorded on the register of holders of Common Shares maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation as the holder of the Common Shares so transferred and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner thereof.

The exchanges and cancellations provided for in the Plan of Arrangement will be deemed to occur on the Effective Date, notwithstanding that certain of the procedures related thereto are not completed until after the Effective Date.

Adjustment to Consideration

If, on or after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation declares, sets aside or pays any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, securities, property or otherwise with respect to the Common Shares, or sets a record date therefor that is prior to the Effective Date, then the Consideration will be

49


adjusted to reflect each such dividend or other distribution by way of a reduction in the Consideration by an amount equal to the amount of such dividend or distribution per Common Share.

Corporate Authorizations

The adoption, execution, delivery, implementation and consummation of all matters contemplated under the Plan of Arrangement involving the corporate action of any Person under the Plan of Arrangement will occur and be effective as of the Effective Time, and will be authorized and approved under the Arrangement and by the Court, where appropriate, as part of the Final Order, in all respects and for all purposes without any requirement of further action by such Person.

Arrangement Mechanics

Payment of Consideration

At or prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Parent will (a) provide the Purchaser Loan; and (b) deposit, or arrange or cause to be deposited, for the benefit of the Shareholders (other than the Dissenting Shareholders), cash with the Depositary in the aggregate amount equal to the payments required by the Plan of Arrangement to be made to the Shareholders, which funds will be held by the Depositary in escrow as agent and nominee for the benefit of such Shareholders. The cash deposited with the Depositary by or on behalf of the Purchaser will be held in an interest-bearing account, and any interest earned on such funds will be for the account of the Purchaser. The cash deposited with the Depositary will not be used for any other purpose except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement.

Certificates and Payments

Common Shares

Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or a direct registration statement (DRS) (each, a "DRS Advice") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Registered Shareholder represented by such surrendered certificate or DRS Advice will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary will deliver to such holder, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such Common Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered will be cancelled. Upon receipt of a customary "agent's message" by the Depositary with respect to Book-Entry Shares that were transferred pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Depositary will deliver to such holder of such Book-Entry Shares, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such Book-Entry Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and any Book-Entry Shares so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled.

The 2024 PP Warrants

Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding 2024 PP Warrants that were transferred pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the registered Warrantholders represented by such surrendered certificate or DRS Advice will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary will deliver to such registered Warrantholders, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such 2024 PP Warrants, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. Upon receipt of a customary "agent's message" by the Depositary

50


with respect to book-entry Warrants and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Depositary will deliver to such holder of such book-entry Warrants, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such book-entry Warrants, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and any book-entry Warrants so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled.

Compensation Warrants, Options and RSUs

As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Purchaser will cause the Corporation, or the relevant Subsidiary of the Corporation, to pay to each former holder of Compensation Warrants, Options and RSUs as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation in respect of the Compensation Warrants, Options and RSUs, the cash payment, if any, net of applicable withholdings pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement; provided that, any such cash payment may be paid through: (i) the normal payroll practices and procedures or equity plan management system of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as applicable; or (ii) by cheque (delivered to the holders of such Compensation Warrants, Options or RSUs, as applicable, as reflected on the registers maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation in respect of the Compensation Warrants, Options and RSUs, as applicable).

Procedural Matters

Until surrendered as contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement, each certificate or DRS Advice that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Common Shares or 2024 PP Warrants (as the case may be) will be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the cash payment in lieu of such certificate or DRS Advice as contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. Any such certificate or DRS Advice formerly representing Common Shares or 2024 PP Warrants (as the case may be) not duly surrendered on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date will cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former Shareholder or Warrantholder of any kind or nature against or in the Corporation or the Purchaser. On such date, all cash payments to which such former holder was entitled will be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser and will be paid over by the Depositary to the Purchaser or as directed by the Purchaser.

Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary (or the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, if applicable) in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary (or the Corporation) or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment under the Plan of Arrangement that remains outstanding on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time will cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the applicable consideration for the Common Shares, Warrants, Options or RSUs in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement will terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the Corporation, as applicable, for no consideration.

No TRUBAR Securityholder will be entitled (following the completion of the Plan of Arrangement) to receive any consideration with respect to such TRUBAR Securities other than the applicable consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to any securities of the Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Date will be delivered to the holder of any un-surrendered certificate or DRS Advice which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

Withholding Rights

The Purchaser, TRUBAR and the Depositary, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement such amounts as the Purchaser, the Corporation or the Depositary, as applicable, are required to deduct and withhold, or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold, from such amount otherwise payable or

51


deliverable under any provision of any Laws in respect of Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under the Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Amendment and Termination

The Corporation and the Purchaser may amend, modify and/or supplement the Plan of Arrangement at any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, provided that each such amendment, modification and/or supplement must be (a) set out in writing, (b) approved by both the Purchaser and the Corporation, each acting reasonably, (c) filed with the Court and, if made following the Meeting, approved by the Court, and (d) communicated to the TRUBAR Securityholders and others as may be required by the Interim Order if and as required by the Court.

Release and Injunctions

Release

As of the Effective Date, each of the Released Parties will be released and discharged from all actions, causes of action, damages, judgments, executions, obligations, liabilities and Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on or prior to the Effective Date in connection with or related to PureKana, including the Bankruptcy Case, the Arrangement, the Plan of Arrangement (and related proceedings) and any other proceedings commenced with respect to or in connection with the Plan of Arrangement, the transactions contemplated thereunder and any other actions or matters related directly or indirectly to the foregoing (collectively, the "Released Claims"); provided that, nothing in the Plan of Arrangement will release or discharge the following: (i) any of the Released Parties from or in respect of their respective obligations under the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, the Final Order or any document ancillary to any of the foregoing; (ii) any director or officer of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries of their right to indemnity, insurance claims and employment-related rights or claims; or (iii) any act or omission arising out of any Released Party's gross negligence, actual and intentional fraud, willful misconduct, or criminal acts (as determined by a final non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction) (collectively, the "Release Carve-Outs"). The foregoing release will not be construed to prohibit a party in interest from seeking to enforce the terms of the Plan of Arrangement or any contract or agreement entered into pursuant to, in connection with or contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement.

Injunctions

All Persons are permanently and forever barred, estopped, stayed and enjoined, on and after the Effective Date, with respect to any and all Released Claims, from: (i) commencing, conducting or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any action, suits, demands or other proceedings of any nature or kind whatsoever of any Person against the Released Parties, as applicable; (ii) enforcing, levying, attaching, collecting or otherwise recovering or enforcing by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, any judgment, award, decree or order against the Released Parties; (iii) creating, perfecting, asserting or otherwise enforcing, directly or indirectly, any lien or encumbrance of any kind against the Released Parties or their property; or (iv) taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or consummation of the Plan of Arrangement or the transactions contemplated thereunder; provided, however, that, the foregoing will not apply to the enforcement of any obligations under the Plan of Arrangement or any document, instrument or agreement executed to implement the Plan of Arrangement.

Letters of Transmittal

Registered Securityholders holding Common Shares and/or 2024 PP Warrants will have received with this Circular, a Letter of Transmittal. In order to receive the applicable consideration under the Arrangement, such TRUBAR Securityholders (other than the Dissenting Shareholders) must complete and sign the applicable Letter of Transmittal enclosed with this Circular and deliver it and the other documents required

52


by the Depositary, including, if applicable, certificates representing their Common Shares and the 2024 PP Warrants, to the Depositary in accordance with the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal. The Letters of Transmittal are only for use by Registered Shareholders and registered Warrantholders holding 2024 PP Warrants, as applicable. Beneficial Securityholders must contact their Intermediary to arrange for the surrender of their Common Shares and 2024 PP Warrants.

The Letters of Transmittal contain procedural information relating to the Arrangement and should be reviewed carefully.

Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters

Implementation of the Arrangement and Timing

The Arrangement will be implemented by way of a Court-approved plan of arrangement under the BCBCA pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. The following procedural steps must be taken in order for the Arrangement to become effective: (a) the Required Arrangement Securityholder Approval must be obtained; (b) the Court must grant the Final Order approving the Arrangement; and (c) all conditions precedent to the Arrangement, as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party.

It is currently anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed during the first quarter of 2026; however, completion of the Arrangement is dependent on many factors and it is not possible at this time to determine precisely when or if the Arrangement will become effective. As provided under the Arrangement Agreement, the Arrangement cannot be completed later than April 30, 2026, without triggering termination rights under the Arrangement Agreement, unless such Outside Date is extended to a later date as permitted under the Arrangement Agreement or with the consent of both Parties.

TRUBAR Securityholder Approval

To be effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of at least: (a) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share held; (b) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by TRUBAR Securityholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per TRUBAR Security held; and (c) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes cast in respect of Common Shares that are held or controlled by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101.

Notwithstanding the approval by the TRUBAR Securityholders of the Arrangement Resolution, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Board to, at their discretion, without notice to or approval of the TRUBAR Securityholders: (a) amend, modify or supplement the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement to the extent permitted by the Arrangement Agreement; and (b) subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, not to proceed with the Arrangement and related transactions.

Court Approval of the Arrangement

The Arrangement requires approval by the Court under Section 291 of the BCBCA. On December 9, 2025, the Corporation obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters and issued a notice of hearing of petition (the "Notice of Hearing of Petition") for the Final Order to approve the Arrangement. The Interim Order is attached as Appendix D to this Circular, the Notice of Hearing of Petition for the Final Order is attached as Appendix F to this Circular and the Petition, which includes the relief sought in the Final Order, is set forth in Appendix E to this Circular.

The Court hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) on January 15, 2026 or as soon thereafter as counsel for the Corporation may be heard, at the courthouse


at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia (by Microsoft Teams), subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

At the Court hearing, TRUBAR Securityholders who wish to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument may do so, subject to the rules of the Court. Although the authority of the Court is very broad under the BCBCA, the Corporation has been advised by legal counsel that the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement to TRUBAR Securityholders and the rights and interests of every Person affected. The Court may approve the Arrangement as proposed or as amended in any manner as the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit. The Final Order is required for the Arrangement to become effective.

Any person desiring to appear at the hearing of the application for the Final Order is required to indicate his, her or its intention to appear by filing with the Court and serving TRUBAR at the address set out below, as soon as reasonably practical and, in any case, by or before 12:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the hearing of the application for the Final Order, a Response to Petition ("Response") in the form prescribed by the Supreme Court Civil Rules, including his, her or its address for service, together with a copy of all affidavits and other materials on which he, she or it intends to rely at the application. The Response and supporting materials must be delivered, within the time specified, to the Corporation at the following address:

Norton Rose Fulbright Canada, LLP
1800 – 510 West Georgia Street
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 0M3
Email: [email protected]
Attention: Thomas Moran

Subject to the Court ordering otherwise, other than the Parties, only those Persons who file a Response in compliance with the Petition, Interim Order and Supreme Court Civil Rules will be provided with notice of the materials to be filed with the Court and the opportunity to make submissions in support or opposition of the Final Order. In the event that the hearing is adjourned, only those Persons that have filed and delivered a Response in accordance with the terms of the Interim Order will be provided with notice of the adjourned hearing date and any filed materials.

TRUBAR Securityholders who wish to participate in or be represented at the Court hearing should consult with their legal advisors as to the necessary requirements.

Securities Law Matters

MI 61-101 Matters

TRUBAR is a reporting issuer or equivalent in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and is listed on the TSXV. As a result, TRUBAR is subject to the requirements of MI 61-101.

MI 61-101 is intended to regulate certain transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders, generally requiring enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders excluding certain interested or related parties and their joint actors and, in certain instances, independent valuations and approval and oversight of the transaction by a special committee of independent directors. The protections of MI 61-101 apply to, among other transactions, "business combinations", as defined in MI 61-101.

A "business combination" includes, for an issuer, a transaction (including an arrangement) (a) as a consequence of which the interest of a holder of an equity security of the issuer may be terminated without the holder's consent, and (b) where a person who is a "related party", as defined in MI 61-101, of the issuer

56


at the time the transaction is agreed to is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the transaction, a "collateral benefit" (as defined in MI 61-101).

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

However, MI 61-101 excludes from the meaning of "collateral benefit" a payment per security that is identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, as well as certain benefits to a related party received solely in connection with the related party's services as an employee, director or consultant of an issuer or an affiliated entity of the issuer or a successor to the business of the issuer if, among other things, (a) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for securities relinquished under the transaction; (b) the conferring of the benefit is not, by its terms, conditional on the related party supporting the transaction in any manner; (c) full particulars of the benefit are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction; and (d)(i) at the time the transaction was agreed to, the related party and its associated entities beneficially own or exercise control or direction, over less than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class equity securities of the issuer (in this section, the "De Minimis Exclusion"), or (ii) (x) the related party discloses to an independent committee of the issuer the amount of consideration that the related party expects it will be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the transaction, in exchange for the equity securities beneficially owned by the related party, (y) an independent committee, acting in good faith, determines that the value of the collateral benefit, net of any offsetting costs to the related party, is less than 5% of the value of the consideration the related party expects to receive under the terms of the transaction for the equity securities beneficially owned by the related party, and (z) this determination of the independent committee is disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction.

If a "related party" receives a "collateral benefit" in connection with the Arrangement, the Arrangement Resolution will also require "minority approval" in accordance with MI 61-101. If "minority approval" is required, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast, excluding the votes attached to "affected securities" (as defined in MI 61-101) beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by : (a) "interested parties"; (b) "related parties" of interested parties; and (c) "joint actors" with any interested parties or related parties in respect of the Arrangement (each as defined in MI 61-101).

The Arrangement is a "business combination" under MI 61-101 since, as described below, certain related parties of the Corporation, at the time the Arrangement was agreed to, will be entitled to receive a "collateral benefit" as a consequence of the Arrangement.

The Corporation is not required to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101 as no "interested party" is, as a consequence of the Arrangement, directly or indirectly acquiring the Corporation or its business or combining with the Corporation, whether alone or with joint actors, and there is no "connected transaction" that would qualify as a "related party transaction" (as defined in MI 61-101) for which the Corporation would be required to obtain a formal valuation. In addition, as there is no requirement to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101, there is no requirement for the Corporation to appoint a committee of independent directors (as defined in MI 61-101) to oversee the Arrangement.

Collateral Benefits

Certain of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation hold Warrants, Options, and RSUs. If the Arrangement is completed, all Warrants, Options and RSUs, whether vested or unvested, will be unconditionally vested and exercisable at the Effective Time pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and such directors and senior officers holding such TRUBAR Securities will be entitled to receive a cash payment in exchange for their Warrants, Options or RSUs, as applicable, in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement,

57


with such Common Shares to be ultimately exchanged for the Consideration in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, all as set out therein.

In addition: (a) the Groussman Employment Agreement provides for the payment of the Groussman Change in Control Payment, which is expected to become payable upon the completion of the Arrangement (see "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon – Change in Control Payment"); and (b) on November 22, 2025, in connection with the Arrangement, the compensation committee of the Board recommended, and, on November 22, 2025, the Board approved, subject to completion of the Arrangement, the Subject Director Payments, each of which represents compensation for the significant contributions of the non-executive directors of the Corporation over the preceding 15 to 24 month period and which are expected to become payable upon the completion of the Arrangement (see "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon – Other Compensation").

The accelerated vesting of Options and RSUs, the Groussman Change in Control Payment, the Indemnitor's Fee, the Clarus Work Fee and the Subject Director Payments may be considered "collateral benefits" for the purposes of MI 61-101. See "The Arrangement — Arrangement Mechanics" and "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon" in this Circular.

Each of Erica Groussman, J.R. Kingsley Ward, Richard Kellam, Michael Galloro, H. Brock Bundy, St. John Walshe, Laura Freimane, Luc Francillon, Claire Ughetto, Kate McDevitt and Natasha Port is a "related party" of the Corporation by virtue of such Person's role as a director and/or a senior officer of the Corporation. Following disclosure by each of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation of the number of TRUBAR Securities held by them and the benefits that they expect to receive pursuant to the Arrangement, as detailed under "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon", the Board has determined that, other than Ms. Groussman, and Messrs. Ward, Kellam, Galloro and Bundy, and their respective associated entities, the benefits (within the meaning of MI 61-101) which each of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation (who are related parties of the Corporation) are expected to receive in connection with the Arrangement fall within an exception to the definition of "collateral benefit" for the purposes of MI 61-101 since the benefits are received solely in connection with such Persons' services as directors or employees of the Corporation, or of an affiliated entity of the Corporation, and (a) are not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to them for their Common Shares, (b) are not conditional on them supporting the Arrangement in any manner, (c) full particulars of such benefits are disclosed in this Circular (see "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon"), and (d) at the time of the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, such director or senior officer of the Corporation beneficially owned, or exercised control or direction over, less than 1% of the outstanding Common Shares, as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101, and, accordingly, will not be considered to have received a "collateral benefit" under MI 61-101 as a result of the De Minimis Exclusion and will be entitled to participate in the minority approval vote on the Arrangement Resolution.

For the purposes of MI 61-101, Ms. Groussman, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Corporation, is a related party of the Corporation entitled to receive a collateral benefit in connection with the Arrangement as a result of the cash payment to be received due to the accelerated vesting of certain Options and RSUs held by Ms. Groussman and the Groussman Change in Control Payment. The Special Committee has determined that: (a) Ms. Groussman beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over more than 1% of the Common Shares (calculated in accordance with the provisions of MI 61-101), and (b) upon the completion of the Arrangement, Ms. Groussman is entitled to receive the benefits the value of which is greater than 5% of the value of the consideration Ms. Groussman is entitled to receive in exchange for the equity securities beneficially owned by Ms. Groussman under the Arrangement. Accordingly, Ms. Groussman is considered an "interested party", as defined in MI 61-101, and the votes attaching to any Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by Ms. Groussman will be excluded from the minority approval vote on the Arrangement Resolution, as required by MI 61-101. As of the Record Date, Ms. Groussman holds, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, 4,402,330 Common Shares.

For the purposes of MI 61-101, Mr. Ward, Executive Chairman and director of the Corporation, is a related party of the Corporation entitled to receive a collateral benefit in connection with the Arrangement as a

58


result of the cash payment to be received due to the accelerated vesting of certain Options and RSUs held by Mr. Ward, the Ward Payment, the Indemnitor's Fee and the Clarus Work Fee. The Special Committee has determined that: (a) Mr. Ward beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over more than 1% of the Common Shares (calculated in accordance with the provisions of MI 61-101), and (b) upon the completion of the Arrangement, Mr. Ward is entitled to receive benefits the value of which is greater than 5% of the value of the consideration Mr. Ward is entitled to receive in exchange for the equity securities beneficially owned by Mr. Ward under the Arrangement. Accordingly, Mr. Ward is considered an interested party and the votes attaching to any Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Ward will be excluded from the minority approval vote on the Arrangement Resolution, as required by MI 61-101. As of the Record Date, Mr. Ward holds, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, 8,799,642 Common Shares.

For the purposes of MI 61-101, Richard Kellam, director of the Corporation, is a related party of the Corporation entitled to receive a collateral benefit in connection with the Arrangement as a result of the cash payment to be received due to the accelerated vesting of certain Options and RSUs held by Mr. Kellam and the Kellam Payment.

Accordingly, Mr. Kellam is considered an interested party and the votes attaching to any Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Kellam will be excluded from the minority approval vote on the Arrangement Resolution, as required by MI 61-101. As of the Record Date, Mr. Kellam holds, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, 2,092,857 Common Shares.

Accordingly, Mr. Galloro is considered an interested party and the votes attaching to any Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Galloro will be excluded from the minority approval vote on the Arrangement Resolution, as required by MI 61-101.

As a result of the foregoing, the directors and senior officers of the Corporation may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of other TRUBAR

59


Securityholders. The Board is aware of the foregoing interests and considered them, among other matters, when recommending that TRUBAR Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR the Arrangement Resolution.

Minority Approval Requirements

As the Arrangement is a business combination for the purposes of MI 61-101, the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 will also apply in connection with the Arrangement. In addition to obtaining approval of the Arrangement Resolution of (a) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share held, and (b) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by TRUBAR Securityholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per TRUBAR Security held, approval will also be sought from a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes cast in respect of Common Shares that are held or controlled by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101.

Minority approval entails a simple majority of the votes cast by all holders of a class of "affected securities" other than: (a) "interested parties", as defined in MI 61-101; (b) any related party of an "interested party", unless the related party meets that description solely in its capacity as a director or senior officer of one or more persons that are neither "interested party" nor "issuer insiders", as defined in MI 61-101, of the issuer; and (c) any person that is a "joint actor", as defined in MI 61-101, with any of the foregoing. For the Arrangement, the Common Shares are "affected securities".

As the Arrangement will constitute a "business combination" (as such term is defined in MI 61-101), the Arrangement will require approval of a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders, present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding any votes in respect of Common Shares that are required to be excluded pursuant to MI 61-101.

For the purposes of MI 61-101, "interested parties" includes any related parties of the issuer if the related party would, as a consequence of the transaction receive a collateral benefit, which, for the purposes of the Arrangement, includes Ms. Groussman and Messrs. Ward, Kellam, Galloro and Bundy (collectively, the "Excluded Shareholders").

Accordingly, the votes required to be excluded for the purposes of the minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 (the "Excluded Votes") are those attaching to the Common Shares beneficially owned or over which direction or control is exercised by the Excluded Shareholders and by (a) any related parties of such Excluded Shareholders (subject to the exception noted above) and (b) any joint actors of such Excluded Shareholders or its related parties. The determination of whether or not a person constitutes a related party of an Excluded Shareholder, or a joint actor of an Excluded Shareholder or its related parties, requires, among other things, a consideration of the beneficial ownership, control and direction of the Corporation's securities.

To the knowledge of TRUBAR, after reasonable inquiry and based on the considerations described above, the Excluded Votes are the votes attaching to the Common Shares set out below:

Excluded Shareholder Number of Common Shares^{(1)} Percentage of Issued and Outstanding Common Shares^{(2)}
Erica Groussman 4,402,330 4.08%
J. R. Kingsley Ward 8,799,642 8.15%
Richard Kellam 2,092,857 1.94%

Excluded Shareholder Number of Common Shares^{(1)} Percentage of Issued and Outstanding Common Shares^{(2)}
Michael Galloro 1,182,024 1.10%
Brock Bundy 1,100,000 1.02%
TOTAL: 17,576,853 16.29%

Notes:
(1) Includes in each case Common Shares which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised by the Excluded Shareholder and its “related parties” and “joint actors”.
(2) Based on 107,915,403 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.

Prior Valuations

There have not been any "prior valuations" (as defined in MI 61-101) of TRUBAR or any of the Subsidiaries or any of its material assets or liabilities in the past twenty-four (24) months preceding the entry into the Arrangement Agreement.

No Prior Offers

On April 10, 2025, the Corporation received a non-binding offer for approximately 67% of the Corporation’s equity interests from an arm’s length party in the amount of $60 million (the “Prior Offer”). After consideration of the Board, on April 14, 2025, the Corporation advised the offeror that it would not be proceeding with the Prior Offer.

Other than as described herein, the Corporation has not received any bona fide prior offer (as contemplated in MI 61-101) relating to the subject matter of, or otherwise relevant to, the Arrangement in the past twenty-four (24) months preceding the entry into the Arrangement Agreement.

Stock Exchange De-Listing and Reporting Issuer Status

TRUBAR expects that the Common Shares will be de-listed from the TSXV shortly following the Effective Date. It is also expected that TRUBAR will apply to cease to be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario after the Effective Date.

Treatment of the Warrants

As of the Record Date, there are 5,478,567 Warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $0.45 per Warrant. The Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Warrants by $1.19 per Warrant.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Warrantholders will receive, for each Warrant held a cash payment equal to the amount by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Warrant multiplied by the number of Warrants (for greater certainty, where such amount is zero or negative, neither the Corporation nor the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the Warrantholder any consideration in respect of such Warrant), subject to applicable tax withholding and other source deductions and paid through payroll to the extent applicable. See "The Arrangement – Arrangement Mechanics".

Treatment of the Options

As of the Record Date, there are 5,539,500 Options outstanding whereby the Consideration exceeds the exercise price per Option. Such Options have exercise prices ranging between $0.27 per Option and $0.97 per Option.

61


Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Optionholders will receive, for each Option held a cash payment equal to the amount by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Option multiplied by the number of Options (for greater certainty, where such amount is zero or negative, neither the Corporation nor the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the Optionholder any consideration in respect of such Option), subject to applicable tax withholding and other source deductions and paid through payroll to the extent applicable. See "The Arrangement – Arrangement Mechanics".

Treatment of the RSUs

As of the Record Date, a total of 3,813,897 RSUs were outstanding.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, RSUholders will receive, for each RSU held a cash payment equal to the Consideration, subject to applicable withholdings and other source deductions paid through payroll to the extent applicable. See "The Arrangement – Arrangement Mechanics".

Effective Date

The Effective Date will occur: (i) on the date that is the third Business Day following the satisfaction, or where not prohibited, the waiver (subject to applicable Laws), by the applicable Party or Parties in whose favour the condition is, of the conditions set out in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement (excluding conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied on the Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction, or where not prohibited, the waiver (subject to applicable Laws) by the applicable Party or Parties in whose favour the condition is, of those conditions as of the Effective Date); or (ii) on such other date as may be agreed to by the Parties. The Arrangement will become effective at the Effective Time on the Effective Date.

The closing of the Arrangement will take place remotely by exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts), unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto.

Payment of Consideration, Adjustment to Consideration and Withholding Taxes

The Purchaser will, at least one (1) Business Day before the Effective Date, provide or cause to be provided to (i) the Depositary sufficient funds to be held in escrow (the terms and conditions of such escrow to be satisfactory to the Corporation and the Purchaser, each acting reasonably) to satisfy the aggregate Consideration payable by the Purchaser pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement; (ii) if requested in writing by the Corporation not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Corporation, the Purchaser Loan, in the form of a non-interest bearing demand loan, and (iii) if requested in writing by the Corporation not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Corporation, sufficient funds to effect the Credit Facility Termination as of the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, in the form of a non-interest bearing demand loan. If, on or after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation sets a record date for any dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares that is prior to the Effective Date or the Corporation pays any dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares prior to the Effective Time, then, and without limitation to any other rights of the Purchaser and the Parent under the Arrangement Agreement: (i) to the extent that the amount of such dividends or distributions per Common Share does not exceed the Consideration, the Consideration will be reduced by the amount of such dividends or distributions; and (ii) to the extent that the amount of such dividends or distributions per Common Share exceeds the Consideration, such excess amount will be placed in escrow for the account of the Purchaser or another Person designated by the Purchaser.

The Purchaser, the Corporation and the Depositary, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement such amounts as the Purchaser, the Corporation or the Depositary, as applicable, are required to deduct and withhold, or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold, from such amount otherwise payable or deliverable under any provision of any Laws in respect of Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so

63


deducted, withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Access to Information

From the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Arrangement Agreement, subject to Law and the exclusions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation will give the Purchaser and its representatives: (a) upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to its and its Subsidiaries' (i) premises, (ii) property and assets (including all books and records, whether retained internally or otherwise), (iii) Contracts (including leases) and Authorizations and (iv) senior management, in each case so long as the access does not unduly interfere with the conduct of the business of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; and (b) such financial and operating data or other information with respect to the assets or business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request.

Pre-Acquisition Reorganization

The Corporation agrees that, upon the reasonable request by the Purchaser and subject to the exceptions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) effect such reorganizations of the Corporation's and its Subsidiaries' corporate structure (including the dissolutions of certain Subsidiaries), capital structure, business, operations or assets and such other transactions as the Purchaser may request, acting reasonably (in this section, each a "Pre-Acquisition Reorganization"); (b) cooperate with the Purchaser and its advisors in order to determine the nature and manner in which any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization might most effectively be undertaken; and (c) cooperate with the Purchaser and its advisers to seek to obtain any consents, approvals, waivers or similar authorizations, if any, that are required by the Purchaser, acting reasonably, based on the applicable terms of applicable Contracts or Authorizations in connection with the Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations, if any.

Insurance and Indemnification

Prior to the Effective Date, TRUBAR will purchase customary "tail" policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage providing protection no less favourable in the aggregate to the protection provided by the policies maintained by TRUBAR and its Subsidiaries which are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, and providing protection in respect of claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Effective Date, and the Purchaser will (or will cause TRUBAR and its Subsidiaries) to maintain

The Corporation and its Subsidiaries will use funds on their balance sheet at the Effective Date to fund all amounts required to effect the Credit Facility Termination, unless the Corporation requests in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date for any portion or all funds required to effect such repayment to be funded or caused to be funded by the Purchaser, which will be evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note payable by the Corporation to the Purchaser.

Acquisition Proposals

Non-Solicitation

TRUBAR and its Subsidiaries have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, through any Representatives: (i) solicit, assist, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing or providing copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any confidential information, properties, facilities, books or records of the Corporation or any Subsidiary) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than with the Parent and the Purchaser) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) withdraw, amend, modify or qualify, or publicly propose or state an intention to withdraw, amend, modify or qualify, the Board Recommendation; (iv) accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or take no position or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal for a period of no more than five Business Days following the public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal will not be considered to be in violation of the Arrangement Agreement provided the Board has rejected such Acquisition Proposal and affirmed the Board Recommendation before the end of such five Business Day period (or in the event that the Meeting is scheduled to occur within such five Business Day period, prior to the third Business Day prior to the date of the Meeting)); or (v) accept or enter into (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted by and in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement) or publicly propose to accept or enter into any agreement, letter of intent, understanding or arrangement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal.

TRUBAR also agreed to (and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to) immediately cease and to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion, negotiation or other activities with any Person (other than with the Purchaser and the Parent) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal.

If TRUBAR or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives or otherwise becomes aware of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of confidential information relating to TRUBAR or any of its Subsidiaries, TRUBAR will promptly notify the Purchaser, at first orally, and then within 48 hours, in writing, of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including a description of its material terms and conditions and the identity of all Persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and will provide the Purchaser with copies of all documents, material correspondence or other material received in respect of, from or on behalf of any such Person and such other information regarding any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request as the Purchaser may reasonably request. The Corporation will keep the Purchaser fully informed on a current basis of the status of developments and (to the extent permitted by the terms of the Arrangement Agreement) negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request.

Responding to an Acquisition Proposal

Notwithstanding the non-solicitation provisions or other provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, if at any time prior to obtaining the approval of Shareholders of the Arrangement Resolution, TRUBAR receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal, it may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal and may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records of TRUBAR or its Subsidiaries to such Person, if and only if:

(a) the Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or might reasonably be


expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal and has provided the Purchaser with written confirmation thereof;

(b) such Person was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction with TRUBAR or its Subsidiaries;

(c) TRUBAR has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement;

(d) TRUBAR enters into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such Person that contains terms and conditions that are no less favourable to the Corporation than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the standstill obligations therein are individually no less restrictive in any respect to the counterparty and its affiliates than the standstill obligations in the Confidentiality Agreement are to the Purchaser and its affiliates, further provided that such confidentiality and standstill agreement may allow such Person to make an Acquisition Proposal confidentially to the Board that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Superior Proposal; and

(e) prior to providing any such copies, access or disclosure, TRUBAR provides the Purchaser with:

(i) prior written notice stating TRUBAR's intention to participate in such discussions or negotiations and to provide such copies, access or disclosure;

(ii) prior to providing such copies, access or disclosure, a true, complete and final executed copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement entered into with such other Person; and

(iii) any non-public information concerning TRUBAR and its Subsidiaries provided to such other Person which was not previously provided to the Purchaser.

Superior Proposals

If TRUBAR receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders, the Board may make a Change in Recommendation and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if and only if:

(a) the Person making the Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction;

(b) TRUBAR has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement;

(c) TRUBAR has delivered to the Purchaser a written notice of the determination of the Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Board to make a Change in Recommendation and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a written notice from the Board regarding the value and financial terms that the Board, in consultation with its financial advisors, has

71


determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Acquisition Proposal (the "Superior Proposal Notice");

(d) TRUBAR or its Representatives have provided to the Purchaser a copy of the proposed definitive agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal;

(e) at least five (5) Business Days (the "Matching Period") have elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received a copy of the proposed definitive agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal from TRUBAR;

(f) during any Matching Period, the Purchaser has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, to offer to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal (the "Right to Match");

(g) after the Matching Period, the Board has determined in good faith (i) after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (and, if applicable, compared to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the Purchaser under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement) and (ii) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure by the Board to recommend that TRUBAR enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to TRUBAR; and

(h) prior to or concurrently with entering into such definitive agreement the Corporation terminates the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to the Superior Proposal provisions of the Arrangement Agreement and pays the Termination Fee.

During the Matching Period, or such longer period as TRUBAR may approve in writing for such purpose:

(a) the Board will review in good faith any offer made by the Purchaser pursuant to the Right to Match to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be so; and

(b) TRUBAR will, and will cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the Purchaser to make such amendments to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on such amended terms. If the Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, TRUBAR will promptly advise the Purchaser accordingly, and the Parties will amend the Arrangement Agreement to reflect such offer made by the Purchaser, and will take and cause to be taken all actions necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof will constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of the provisions relating to a Superior Proposal contained in the Arrangement Agreement and the Purchaser will be afforded a new five (5) Business Day Matching Period from the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the new Superior Proposal from TRUBAR.

The Board will promptly reaffirm the Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced, or the Board determines

72


that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. TRUBAR will provide the Purchaser and its legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and will make all reasonable amendments to such press release as required by the Purchaser and its counsel.

If TRUBAR provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the Purchaser on a date that is less than 10 Business Days before the Meeting, TRUBAR will either proceed with or postpone or adjourn the Meeting, as directed by the Purchaser acting reasonably, to a date that is not more than 15 Business Days after the scheduled date of the Meeting, but in any event the Meeting will not be postponed or adjourned to a date which would prevent the Effective Date from occurring on or prior to the Outside Date.

Nothing contained in the Arrangement Agreement will limit in any way the obligation of the Corporation to convene and hold the Meeting in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement while the Arrangement Agreement remains in force.

Nothing contained in the Arrangement Agreement will: (a) prevent the Board from complying with section 2.17 of National Instrument 62-104 – Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Securities Laws relating to the provision of a directors' circular in respect of an Acquisition Proposal that is not a Superior Proposal; or (b) prohibit TRUBAR or the Board from calling and/or holding a meeting requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with the BCBCA (provided the Board will use its commercially reasonable efforts to call and hold any such meeting after the Meeting unless ordered otherwise by any Governmental Entity).

The Party desiring to terminate the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to the above provisions of the Arrangement Agreement (other than pursuant to (a) above) will provide written notice of such termination to the other Party, specifying in the notice of such termination the basis for such Party's exercise of its termination right.

Termination Fees and Expenses

Under the Arrangement Agreement, if a Termination Fee Event occurs, TRUBAR is required to pay the Parent the Termination Fee. In the Arrangement Agreement, "Termination Fee" means US$5,000,000 and "Termination Fee Event" means the termination of the Arrangement Agreement:

77


(a) by the Purchaser, pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(ii) of the Arrangement Agreement [Change in Recommendation or Breach of Non-Solicit];

(b) pursuant to any subsection of Section 7.2 of the Arrangement Agreement if at such time the Purchaser is entitled to terminate the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(ii) of the Arrangement Agreement [Change in Recommendation or Breach of Non-Solicit]; or

(c) by the Corporation or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(b)(i) of the Arrangement Agreement [Failure of Shareholders to Approve] or Section 7.2(1)(b)(iii) of the Arrangement Agreement [Outside Date] or by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(i) of the Arrangement Agreement [Breach of Representations and Warranties or Covenants by Corporation] if, in each case:

(i) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is made or publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by any Person (other than the Purchaser, the Parent or any of their affiliates) or any Person (other than the Purchaser, the Parent or any of their affiliates) will have publicly stated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal; and

(ii) within 365 days following the date of such termination (A) an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same as referred to in item (i) above) is consummated, or (B) TRUBAR or one or more of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, enters into a Contract in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (i) above), and that Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated or effected (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is later consummated within 365 days after such termination).

For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Acquisition Proposal" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Glossary of Terms, except that references to "20% or more" shall be deemed to be references to "50% or more".

In addition to the rights of the Parent and the Purchaser under Section 8.2(2) of the Arrangement Agreement, if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(b)(i) of the Arrangement Agreement [Failure of Shareholders to Approve], the Corporation will pay to the Parent an amount of US$1,500,000 in reimbursement of the expenses, costs and fees incurred by the Parent and its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, such payment to be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Parent no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination (the "Expense Reimbursement"); provided that in no event will the Corporation be required to pay under Section 8.2(2) of the Arrangement Agreement, on the one hand, and Section 8.2(4) of the Arrangement Agreement on the other hand, in the aggregate, an amount in excess of the Termination Fee. Subject to the other terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Parent and the Purchaser each acknowledges and agrees that, upon any termination of the Arrangement Agreement under circumstances where the Parent is entitled to the Termination Fee and such Termination Fee is paid in full within the prescribed time period, such Termination Fee is the sole monetary remedy of the Parent and the Purchaser against the Corporation and the Parent and the Purchaser will be precluded from any other remedy against the Corporation and will not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment or damages of any kind against the Corporation in connection with the Arrangement Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in the Arrangement Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement will be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense. The Parent or the Purchaser will pay any filing or similar fee payable to a Governmental Entity and applicable Taxes in connection with a Regulatory Approval.

Guarantee

The Parent has absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed in favour of the Corporation the due and punctual performance (including due and punctual payment of the Consideration and all other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and pursuant to the Arrangement) by the Purchaser (and its successors and permitted assigns) of the Purchaser's covenants and obligations under the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, in each case as the same may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, varied or otherwise modified from time to time, and irrespective of any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, winding-up, termination of the existence of or other matter whatsoever respecting the Purchaser or any successor or permitted assignee thereof. Such guarantee will remain in full force and effect until all such obligations guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement have been performed in full in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Parent further agreed: (i) to be jointly and severally liable with the Purchaser for the truth, accuracy and completeness of all of the Purchaser's representations and warranties under the Arrangement Agreement; and (ii) that the Corporation will not have to proceed first against the Purchaser in respect of any such matter before exercising its rights under this guarantee against the Parent and the Parent agreed to be liable for all guaranteed obligations as if it were the principal obligor of such obligations.

Amendments

The Arrangement Agreement may be amended by mutual written agreement between the Parties.

DISSENT RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The following description of the rights of Dissenting Shareholders is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the "fair value" of such holder's Common Shares, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of: (a) the Interim Order, which is attached as Appendix D to this Circular; (b) the Plan of Arrangement that is attached as Appendix B to this Circular; and (c) the dissent provisions of the BCBCA, which are attached as Appendix G to this Circular. The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Dissent Rights described herein based on the evidence presented at such hearing.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, Registered Shareholders who are Registered Shareholders as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights have Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement Resolution. The Purchaser may elect not to complete the Arrangement if Dissent Rights are exercised for more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

A Registered Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and strictly comply with the provisions of sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. Failure to strictly comply with these provisions, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, and to adhere to the procedures established therein, may result in the loss of all rights thereunder. It is suggested that Shareholders wishing to avail themselves of their rights under those provisions seek their own legal advice.

For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order and under the BCBCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) a Warrantholder in respect of such holder's Warrants; (ii) an Optionholder in respect of such holder's Options; (iii) an RSUholder in respect of such holder's RSUs; (iv) TRUBAR Securityholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote any TRUBAR Securities, as applicable, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution; and (v) any other Person who is not a Registered Shareholder as of the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights.


Only Registered Shareholders who are Registered Shareholders as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights are entitled to Dissent Rights. Accordingly, a Beneficial Shareholder who desires to exercise Dissent Rights must make arrangements for the registered holder of such Common Shares to dissent on the holder's behalf.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, a Registered Shareholder who was a Registered Shareholder as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights who fully complies with the dissent procedures in sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, is entitled, if (and only if) and when the Arrangement becomes effective, to dissent and to be paid the fair value, determined as of immediately before the passing of the Arrangement Resolution, of the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in respect of which the Shareholder dissents. A Shareholder must exercise their Dissent Rights with respect to all (and not less than all) of the Common Shares beneficially held by such Shareholder.

A Registered Shareholder wishing to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement must send to the Corporation a written notice of dissent to the Arrangement Resolution (the "Dissent Notice"), which Dissent Notice must be received by TRUBAR Inc. c/o Norton Rose Fulbright 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 day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, if applicable), and must otherwise strictly comply with the dissent procedures described in this Circular and the Interim Order, the BCBCA and the Plan of Arrangement. No Shareholder who has voted in favour of the Arrangement, either as registered or beneficial owner, will be entitled to dissent with respect to the Arrangement.

The Dissent Notice must set out the number and class of Common Shares in respect of which the Dissent Rights are being exercised (the "Notice Shares") and: (a) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Shareholder owns no other Common Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect; (b) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but the Dissenting Shareholder owns additional Common Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholders, the number and class of Common Shares held by each such Registered Shareholder and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other Common Shares; or (c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such Common Shares, a statement to that effect and the name and address of the Beneficial Shareholder and a statement that the Registered Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all Common Shares of the Beneficial Shareholder registered in such Registered Shareholder's name.

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved as required at the Meeting, and if TRUBAR notifies the Dissenting Shareholders of its intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution, the Dissenting Shareholder is then required within one month after TRUBAR gives such notice, to send to TRUBAR, the certificates representing the Notice Shares (if any) and a written statement that requires the Purchaser to purchase all of the Notice Shares. If the Dissent Right is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a Beneficial Shareholder who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a statement signed by such Beneficial Shareholder is required which sets out whether the Beneficial Shareholder is the beneficial owner of other Common Shares and if so, (i) the names of the Registered Shareholders of such Common Shares; (ii) the number and class of such Common Shares; and (iii) that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of such Common Shares. Upon delivery of these documents, the Dissenting Shareholder is deemed to have sold the Common Shares and TRUBAR is deemed to have purchased them. Once the Dissenting Shareholder has done this, the Dissenting Shareholder may not vote or exercise any shareholder rights in respect of the Notice Shares.

A Dissenting Shareholder may, if the Purchaser is willing to do so, make an agreement with the Purchaser for the purchase of such Dissenting Shareholder's Common Shares for an agreed upon amount. There is no obligation on the Purchaser or the Dissenting Shareholder to reach agreement on that amount. If no such agreement has been reached, an application may be made to the Court by the Purchaser or by a

80


Dissenting Shareholder to fix the fair value of the Dissenting Shareholder's Common Shares. There is no obligation by the Purchaser to make an application to the Court. After a determination of the payout value of the Notice Shares, the Purchaser then promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder. Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately entitled to be paid by the Purchaser fair value for their Common Shares will be entitled to be paid such fair value and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment or the Consideration that would be payable under the Plan of Arrangement had they not exercised their Dissent Rights.

A Dissenting Shareholder loses his or her Dissent Right if, among other things, before full payment is made for the Notice Shares, TRUBAR abandons the Arrangement, the Arrangement Resolution is not approved at the Meeting, a court permanently enjoins the action, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Dissent Notice with TRUBAR's consent. When these events occur, the Purchaser must return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder regains the ability to vote and exercise shareholder rights.

Dissenting Shareholders who duly exercise Dissent Rights and who are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Common Shares will be deemed to have transferred their Common Shares as of the time set forth in the Plan of Arrangement and without any further authorization, act or formality and free and clear of all encumbrances or other claims of third parties of any kind, to the Purchaser for cancellation under the Arrangement. If a Dissenting Shareholder is ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for the Dissenting Shares, the Dissenting Shareholder will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder that is not a Dissenting Shareholder, and will be entitled to receive only the Consideration contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement that such Dissenting Shareholder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such Dissenting Shareholder had not exercised its Dissent Rights.

The above is only a summary of the Dissent Rights, which are technical and complex. If you are a Registered Shareholder and wish to exercise your Dissent Rights, you should seek your own legal advice as failure to strictly comply with the dissent procedures set forth in the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, and described in this Circular will result in the loss of your Dissent Rights.

Dividend Policy

The Corporation has not paid any dividends on the Common Shares during the 24-month period preceding the date of this Circular. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation is restricted from declaring, setting aside or paying any dividends during the period from the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the earlier of


the Effective Date and the time that the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms subject to certain exceptions. See "The Arrangement Agreement – The Arrangement – Covenants – Conduct of Business by TRUBAR" for additional information.

The Arrangement Agreement includes an adjustment to the Consideration if, on or after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation sets a record date for any dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares that is prior to the Effective Date or the Corporation pays any dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares prior to the Effective Time. See "The Arrangement Agreement – The Arrangement – Payment of Consideration, Adjustment to Consideration and Withholding Taxes" for additional information.

Apart from those imposed by statute and the Arrangement Agreement, there are no restrictions on the Corporation's ability to pay dividends.

Expenses of the Corporation

The aggregate fees and expenses expected to be incurred by the Corporation in connection with the Arrangement are estimated to be approximately US$3,500,000, including legal, financial advisory, accounting, filing and printing costs, the costs of preparing and mailing this Circular and fees in respect of the Fairness Opinion. Except as otherwise provided in the Arrangement Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement will be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.

Effects on the Corporation if the Arrangement is Not Completed.

If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved by TRUBAR Securityholders or if the Arrangement is not completed for any other reason, TRUBAR Securityholders will not receive any payment for any of their TRUBAR Securities in connection with the Arrangement and the Corporation will remain a reporting issuer and the Common Shares will continue to be listed on the TSXV. See "Risk Factors – Risk Factors Relating to the Arrangement". The Arrangement Agreement requires that the Corporation pay the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement in certain circumstances. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Termination Fees and Expenses".

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

Except as set forth herein, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no director or executive officer of the Corporation or a person or company that beneficially owns or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, or an associate or affiliate thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or any of the TRUBAR Subsidiaries.

Material Change in the Affairs of the Corporation

Except as described in this Circular, the directors and executive officers of the Corporation are not aware of any plans or proposals for material changes in the affairs of the Corporation.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE PARENT AND THE PURCHASER

The Parent

The Parent is a leading Turkish consumer goods company servicing the global snacks industry with its established portfolio of over 750 products available in more than 45 countries. The Parent's global presence and position as a key domestic player is rooted in its over 60 years of experience in the industry, focused on innovative growth and production of high-quality goods, which has grown into an end-to-end enterprise operating nine production facilities and employing more than 7,500 employees in its operation and distribution network. As a leading industrial enterprise in Turkey, the Parent continues to strengthen its domestic and international presence through its emphasis on quality and innovation.

The Purchaser

The Purchaser was incorporated under the BCBCA on November 20, 2025 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Purchaser was formed as a special purpose vehicle solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. The Purchaser has conducted no business activities other than those related to the Arrangement Agreement and its obligations thereunder.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be carefully considered by TRUBAR Securityholders in evaluating the approval of the Arrangement Resolution. These risk factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information included in this Circular, including certain sections of documents publicly filed, which sections are incorporated by reference herein.

Risks Relating to the Arrangement

Non-Solicitation Obligations and Right to Match

Under the Arrangement Agreement the Corporation is subject to certain non-solicitation obligations, and as a condition to entering into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal, the Corporation is required to first offer the Purchaser the Right to Match. These non-solicitation provisions and the Purchaser's Right to Match may discourage other parties from making a Superior Proposal, even if they would otherwise have been willing to acquire the Corporation on more favourable terms than the Arrangement. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Acquisition Proposals".

Conditions Precedent and Required Approvals

There can be no certainty that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived prior to the Outside Date, nor can there be any certainty of the timing of their satisfaction or waiver. Failure to complete the Arrangement could materially negatively impact the trading price of the Common Shares.


The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, some of which are outside the Corporation's control, including receipt of the Final Order. At the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will consider whether to approve the Arrangement based on the applicable legal requirements and the evidence before the Court. Other conditions precedent which are outside of the Corporation's control include, without limitation, the receipt of the Required Arrangement Securityholder Approval and holders of no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares having exercised Dissent Rights. There can be no certainty, nor can the Corporation provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived.

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to the condition that, among other things, at the time of closing, no Material Adverse Effect will have occurred since the date of the Arrangement Agreement. Although a Material Adverse Effect excludes certain events, including events in some cases that are beyond the control of the Corporation, there can be no assurance that a Material Adverse Effect will not occur prior to the Effective Time. If such a Material Adverse Effect occurs and the Purchaser does not waive same, the Arrangement would not proceed. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to Closing".

The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least: (a) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share held; (b) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by TRUBAR Securityholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share or one vote per TRUBAR Security held; and (c) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes cast in respect of Common Shares that are held or controlled by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101. The Arrangement must also be approved by the Court, which will consider the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement to TRUBAR Securityholders. If such TRUBAR Securityholder approval is not obtained, the Arrangement will not be completed. See "The Arrangement – Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters – Securities Law Matters".

Interim Period Covenants

Under the Arrangement Agreement, TRUBAR has agreed, among other things, that during the period from the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, it will not take certain specified actions with respect to its business. Such restrictions may prevent TRUBAR from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Arrangement. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Covenants – Conduct of Business by TRUBAR".

Uncertainty Surrounding the Arrangement

As the Arrangement is dependent upon satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, its completion is uncertain. In response to this uncertainty, the attention of the Corporation's management could be diverted from the day-to-day operations of the business and clients, advertisers, employees, suppliers or partners may delay or defer decisions concerning the Corporation or may seek to modify or terminate their business relationship with the Corporation. Any delay or deferral of those decisions or modification or termination of business relationships by clients, advertisers, employees, suppliers or partners could adversely affect the business and operations of the Corporation, regardless of whether the Arrangement is ultimately completed. Similarly, uncertainty may adversely affect the Corporation's ability to attract or retain key personnel. In the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the Corporation's relationships with clients, advertisers, employees, suppliers, customers or partners and other stakeholders may be adversely affected. Changes in such relationships could adversely affect the business and operations of the Corporation.

Termination Rights

Each of the Corporation and the Purchaser has the right, in certain circumstances, in addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement.

90


Accordingly, there can be no certainty, nor can the Corporation provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated by either the Corporation or the Purchaser prior to the completion of the Arrangement. The Corporation's business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to various material adverse consequences, including that the Corporation would remain liable for significant costs relating to the Arrangement including, among others, legal, accounting and printing expenses. If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and the Board decides to seek another similar transaction, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than pursuant to the Arrangement. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Termination of the Arrangement Agreement".

Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement

Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation is required to pay to the Purchaser the Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement in the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances and in accordance with the termination provisions of the Arrangement Agreement. The Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire the Corporation, even if those parties would otherwise be willing to offer greater value than that offered under the Arrangement. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Termination of the Arrangement Agreement – Termination Fees and Expenses".

If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed or its completion is materially delayed, or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the market price of the Common Shares may be materially adversely affected. See "Information Regarding the Corporation – Trading in Common Shares".

No Continued Benefit of TRUBAR Security Ownership

The Arrangement will result in the Corporation no longer existing as an independently publicly-traded Canadian company and, as such, TRUBAR Securityholders will be unable to participate in the longer-term potential benefits of the business of the Corporation, including any benefits that may result from any improvement in the Corporation's financial results. Accordingly, TRUBAR Securityholders will not benefit from any appreciation in the value of, or dividends (as applicable) on, their TRUBAR Securities after the completion of the Arrangement.

Income Tax Consequences

The Arrangement results in certain income tax consequences to the TRUBAR Securityholders. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations". TRUBAR Securityholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of the Arrangement to them, including the application and effect of the income and other tax laws of any country, province, territory, state, local or other jurisdiction that may be applicable to the TRUBAR Securityholders.

Directors and Senior Officers of the Corporation may have interests in the Arrangement that are different from those of TRUBAR Securityholders.

In considering the recommendation of the Board to vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution, TRUBAR Securityholders should be aware that directors and officers of the Corporation may have interests in connection with the Arrangement as described herein that may be in addition to, or separate from, those of TRUBAR Securityholders generally in connection with the Arrangement. The Board established the Special Committee to evaluate the Arrangement and advise the full Board on whether the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Corporation and the TRUBAR Securityholders. The Board and the Special Committee each unanimously recommended in favour of the Arrangement. Nevertheless, Shareholders should consider these interests in connection with their vote on the Arrangement Resolution. See "Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon".

91


92

On Closing of the Arrangement, Shareholders will not be shareholders of the Corporation

At the Effective Time, each Shareholder will cease to hold Common Shares and to have any rights as a holder of such Common Shares other than the right to be paid the Consideration by the Purchaser or, in the case of Shareholders who have validly exercised Dissent Rights, be paid the fair value for such Common Shares, in each case in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. If the Arrangement is successfully completed, the Corporation will no longer exist as an independent public company, and, as a result the consummation of the Arrangement, Shareholders will no longer have the opportunity to participate in the potential long-term benefits of the Corporation's business (if any), notwithstanding the risks that the Corporation faces, to the extent that those potential benefits exceed the benefits reflected in the Consideration to be received pursuant to the Arrangement.

The Corporation will incur costs in connection with the Arrangement

The Corporation estimates that expenses in the aggregate amount of up to US$3.5 million will be incurred by it in connection with the Arrangement and related matters. Certain costs related to the Arrangement, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisors fees, must be paid by the Corporation even if the Arrangement is not completed.

Risks Relating to the Corporation

If the Arrangement is not completed, the Corporation will continue to face the risks that it currently faces and may face additional risks with respect to its affairs, business and operations and future prospects. Such risk factors are set forth and described in the 2025 AIF and posted on the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com and which sections are incorporated by reference herein. A copy of such documents will be sent to any Shareholder without charge upon written request to the Corporation's head office at 95 Wellington Street West, Suite 1400, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2N7, Attention: Laura Freimane, Chief Financial Officer.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following portion summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations relating to the Arrangement that generally apply to Shareholders that, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act: (i) beneficially own Common Shares; (ii) hold such Common Shares as capital property; (iii) deal at arm's length with each of the Corporation and the Purchaser and are not affiliated with the Corporation or the Purchaser; and (iv) dispose of their Common Shares to the Purchaser under the Arrangement for the Consideration. A Shareholder satisfying such requirements is referred to as a "Holder" herein, and this portion of the summary only addresses Holders. This summary does not address Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to Warrantholders, Optionholders, or RSUholders in respect of Warrants, Options and RSUs, and such TRUBAR Securityholders should consult with their own tax advisors.

Common Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to a Holder unless the Holder holds or acquires such Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business or the of buying or selling securities or in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is not applicable to a Shareholder: (i) that is a "financial institution" (for the purposes of the "mark-to-market" rules in the Tax Act) or a "specified financial institution" (as defined in the Tax Act); (ii) an interest in which would be a "tax shelter" or a "tax shelter investment" each within the meaning of the Tax Act; (iii) that has elected to report its "Canadian tax results" for the purposes of the Tax Act in a currency other than the Canadian currency; (iv) who acquired any of its Common Shares on the exercise of employee stock options or pursuant to an employment based compensation arrangement; (v) that has entered or will enter into a "derivative forward agreement" or "synthetic disposition arrangement" (as each is defined in the Tax Act), in respect of any of the Common Shares; (vi) that is a partnership; (vii) that is a "foreign affiliate" (as defined in the Tax Act) of a taxpayer resident in Canada; or (viii) that is exempt from tax under Part I of


the Tax Act. Any such Shareholder should consult its own tax advisors with respect to the Arrangement having regard to its particular circumstances.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and an understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") published in writing and publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance and National Revenue (Canada) prior to the date hereof ("Tax Proposals") and assumes that all Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed. However, there can be no assurance that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form, or at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in Law or the current administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular Shareholder and no representation with respect to the tax consequences to any particular Shareholder is made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Consequently, Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors for advice regarding the income tax consequences of the Arrangement to them having regard to their own particular circumstances, and any other consequences to them of the Arrangement under Canadian federal, provincial, local and foreign tax Laws.

For the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, and holding or disposition of Common Shares must be expressed in Canadian dollars, including adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition. Amounts denominated in foreign currency must be converted into Canadian dollars using the appropriate exchange rate on the date such amounts arise (as determined in accordance with the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act).

Holders Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a "Resident Holder").

Certain Resident Holders whose Common Shares might not otherwise be considered capital property may, in certain circumstances, make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have their Common Shares and every other "Canadian security" (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made, and in all subsequent taxation years, deemed to be capital property. Resident Holders considering making such election should consult with their own tax advisors.

Disposition of Common Shares under the Arrangement

Under the Arrangement, Resident Holders (other than Dissenting Resident Holders, as defined below) will transfer their Common Shares to the Purchaser in consideration for the Consideration. In such circumstances, a Resident Holder will generally realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the aggregate Consideration received for the Common Shares exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Common Shares immediately before their sale to the Purchaser and any reasonable costs of disposition. See "Capital Gains and Capital Losses" and "Additional Refundable Tax" below.

93


94

Dissenting Resident Holders of Common Shares

A Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights (a "Dissenting Resident Holder") will be deemed to have transferred its Common Shares to the Purchaser and will be entitled to receive a payment from the Purchaser of an amount equal to the fair value of such Common Shares.

A Dissenting Resident Holder who receives a payment from the Purchaser for the fair value of its Common Shares will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that such payment (other than any portion thereof that is interest awarded by a court) exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Common Shares to the Dissenting Resident Holder immediately before their transfer to the Purchaser and any reasonable costs of the disposition. See "Capital Gains and Capital Losses" and "Additional Refundable Tax" below. A Dissenting Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income any interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement.

Additional income tax considerations may be relevant to Holders who fail to perfect or withdraw their claims pursuant to their Dissent Rights. Resident Holders considering exercising Dissent Rights should consult their own tax advisors.

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by it in such taxation year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses for a taxation year in excess of taxable capital gains for that year may generally be deducted by the Resident Holder against taxable capital gains (less allowable capital losses) realized by the Resident Holder in any of the three preceding taxation years or any subsequent taxation year, to the extent and in the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

If a Resident Holder is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss otherwise realized on the disposition of a Common Share may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by the Resident Holder on such Common Share (or on any share for which such Common Share has been substituted) to the extent and in the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares, or where a partnership or trust of which a corporate Resident Holder is a member or beneficiary is itself a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares.

Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual (including certain trusts) may be liable for alternative minimum tax as a result of realizing a capital gain.

Additional Refundable Tax

A Resident Holder that (i) throughout the relevant taxation year, is a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act), or (ii) at any time in the relevant taxation year, is a "substantive CCPC" (as defined in the Tax Act), may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act) for the year, which generally includes taxable capital gains and interest income. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, and at all relevant times, is not a resident or deemed to be a resident of Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, Common Shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada (a "Non-Resident


Holder"). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, apply to a non-resident that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere or an authorized foreign bank (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Arrangement.

Disposition of Common Shares under the Arrangement

A Non-Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain, or entitled to deduct any capital loss, realized on the disposition of a Common Share to the Purchaser under the Arrangement unless (i) the Common Share constitutes (or is deemed to constitute) "taxable Canadian property" to the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time such Common Share is disposed of to the Purchaser, and (ii) the Common Share does not constitute "treaty-protected property" (each as defined in the Tax Act).

Provided the Common Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Tax Act (which includes the TSXV) at the time such Common Shares are transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the Arrangement, the Common Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder at such time unless, at any time during the sixty-month period that ends at that time, the following two conditions are met concurrently: (a) one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal at arm's length, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or any person described in (ii) holds an interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of (a) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (b) "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), (c) "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), or (d) options in respect of, or interests in, any of the foregoing property, whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, Common Shares which are not otherwise taxable Canadian property could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

Even if such Common Shares are taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder, a taxable capital gain resulting from the disposition of such Common Shares will not be included in computing the Non-Resident Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act if the Common Shares constitute "treaty-protected property". Common Shares owned by a Non-Resident Holder will generally be treaty-protected property if the gain from the disposition of such Common Shares would, because of an applicable income tax treaty, be exempt from tax under the Tax Act. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the availability of relief under the terms of any applicable income tax treaty or convention.

In the event that Common Shares constitute or are otherwise deemed to constitute taxable Canadian property but not treaty-protected property to a particular Non-Resident Holder, the tax consequences as described above under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada — Disposition of Common Shares Under the Arrangement" and "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada — Capital Gains and Capital Losses" will generally apply. Non-Resident Holders whose Common Shares are or may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice having regard to their particular circumstances, including regarding any Canadian reporting requirements arising from the Arrangement.

Dissenting Non-Resident Holders

A Non-Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights (a "Dissenting Non-Resident Holder") will be deemed to have transferred its Common Shares to the Purchaser and will be entitled to receive a payment from the Purchaser of an amount equal to the fair value of such Common Shares.

Dissenting Non-Resident Holders will generally be subject to the same treatment described above under the heading "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada – Disposition of Common Shares under the Arrangement". Any interest paid or deemed to be paid to a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

In considering the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Arrangement, TRUBAR Securityholders should be aware that certain members of the Board and the Corporation's management have interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interest of the TRUBAR Securityholders and that may create actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the Arrangement. These interests include those described below. The Board was aware of these interests, and considered them, among other matters, when recommending approval of the Arrangement by TRUBAR Securityholders. See "The Arrangement – Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters – Securities Law Matters".

TRUBAR Securities held by Directors and Senior Officers of the Corporation

As of the Record Date, the current directors and officers of the Corporation and their associates and affiliates, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over an aggregate of (i) 17,724,053 Common Shares, representing 16% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, (ii) 1,846,427 Warrants, representing 34% of the issued and outstanding Warrants, (iii) 3,767,000 Options, representing 68% of the issued and outstanding Options, and (iv) 3,713,897 RSUs, representing 97% of the issued and outstanding RSUs, and have entered into Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote the TRUBAR Securities over which they exercise voting control in favour of the Arrangement.

Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Corporation

Prior to the Effective Date, the Corporation will purchase customary "tail" policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance providing protection no less favourable in the aggregate to the protection provided by the policies maintained by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries which are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing protection in respect of claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Effective Date and the Purchaser will, or will cause the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to maintain such tail policies in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six (6) years from the Effective Date; provided that the Purchaser will not be required to pay any amounts in respect of such coverage prior to the Effective Time and provided further that the cost of such policies will not exceed 300% of the Corporation's current annual aggregate premium for policies currently maintained by the Corporation.

The Purchaser will, from and after the Effective Time, honour and cause the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former employees, officers and directors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to the extent they are (i) included in the constating documents of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) as disclosed in connection with the Arrangement Agreement, and acknowledges that such rights will survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Date. See "The Arrangement Agreement – Covenants – Insurance and Indemnification".

If the Corporation or Purchaser or Parent or any of their successors or assigns will (i) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind-up into any other person and, if applicable, will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or persons, then, and in each such case, proper provisions will be made so that the successors, assigns and transferees of the Corporation or Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, will assume all of the obligations set forth in the insurance and indemnification provision of the Arrangement Agreement.

The insurance and indemnification obligations under the Arrangement Agreement will survive the consummation of the Arrangement and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the present and former directors and officers of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives (the "Indemnified Persons") and will be binding on the Purchaser, the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns, and, for such purpose, the Corporation hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on behalf of the Indemnified Persons.

Change in Control Payment

The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement (the "Groussman Employment Agreement") with Erica Groussman which provides that, if there is a "Change in Control" (as that term is defined in the Groussman Employment Agreement) of the Corporation where the net sale price of such Change of Control transaction equals or exceeds US$75 million, Ms. Groussman will be entitled to a bonus payment, payable in cash or otherwise (the "Groussman Change in Control Payment").

The completion of the Arrangement will constitute a Change in Control pursuant to the Groussman Employment Agreement. Upon such completion, the Corporation expects that Ms. Groussman will be entitled to receive a Groussman Change in Control Payment of approximately $8,588,800.

On November 22, 2025, in connection with the Arrangement, the compensation committee of the Board, on the advice of an arm's length human resources advisory firm, recommended, and, on November 22, 2025, the Board approved, subject to completion of the Arrangement, a one-time payment: (a) in the amount of $3,032,920 to J.R.

Brock Bundy (the "Bundy Payment", and collectively with the Ward Payment, the Kellam Payment and the Galloro Payment, the "Subject Director Payments"), director of the Corporation, and (iv) in the amount of $352,000 to St. John Walshe, director of the Corporation, in each case in consideration for such Person's significant contributions as non-executive directors of the Corporation for the extraordinary time and effort expended for the benefit of the Corporation during the prior 15 to 24 month period; and (c) (i) in the amount of $281,600 to Laura Freimane, Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, (ii) in the amount of $98,560 to Luc Francillon, Vice-President of Finance of the Corporation, (iii) in the amount of $98,560 to Claire Ughetto, Senior Vice-President of Operations of the Corporation (iv) in the amount of $98,560 to Kate McDevitt, Vice-President of Sales of the Corporation, and (v) in the amount of $98,560 to Natasha Port, Vice-President of Marketing of the Corporation, in each case in consideration for such Person's significant efforts as an employee or independent contractor of the Corporation in connection with the Arrangement.

The cash deposited with the Depositary shall not be used for any other purpose except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement.

(2) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or a direct registration statement (DRS) advice (each, a "DRS Advice") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3(5), together with

10


a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the registered Shareholders represented by such surrendered certificate or DRS Advice shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

11


unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the applicable consideration for the Shares, Company Warrants, Company Options or Company RSUs in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, for no consideration.

No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to any securities of the Company with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be delivered to the holder of any un-surrendered certificate or DRS Advice which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3.

When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such payment is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such payment, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such amount as the Purchaser may direct (acting reasonably), or otherwise indemnify the Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to the Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) against any claim that may be made against the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement such amounts as the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, are required to deduct and withhold, or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold, from such amount otherwise payable or deliverable under any provision of any Laws in respect of Taxes.

12


Section 4.4 No Liens

Any exchange or transfer of securities, deemed or otherwise, in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind (other than the right to be paid fair value for such Shares as set out in Section 3.1).

Our conclusions contained herein should not be construed as a recommendation to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction. No opinion, advice, or interpretation is intended in matters that require legal or other appropriate professional advice, and we have not provided such advice to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of TRUBAR. It is assumed that such opinions, counsel or interpretations have been or will be obtained from the appropriate professional sources.

MNP has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other factual information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources and management of TRUBAR ("Management"). Our conclusion is conditional upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment, MNP has not attempted to verify independently the accuracy, completeness or fair presentation of information obtained.

This Fairness Opinion is given as of the Opinion Date, on the basis of prevailing securities markets, economic, financial, and general business conditions, and the condition, prospects, financial and otherwise, for TRUBAR and ETi as they were reflected in the information and explanations obtained from Management and reviewed by us. MNP disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this Fairness Opinion which would have been known or expected to be known as at the date of this Fairness Opinion, but which may come to our attention after the aforementioned date.

In our analysis, in connection with the preparation of this Fairness Opinion, MNP made many assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions, and other matters, which are beyond the control of MNP and the Companies.

We have not been engaged or authorized to solicit bids for TRUBAR or its shares, nor have we been engaged to propose alternatives to the Proposed Transaction.

This Fairness Opinion must be considered in its entirety by the reader, as selecting and relying on only specific portions of the analyses or factors considered by us, without considering all factors and analyses together, could result in the misinterpretation of the comments and the conclusions therefrom. It is not appropriate to extract partial analyses or make summary descriptions. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on a particular factor or analysis.

We reserve the right, but will be under no obligation, to review all calculations and analysis supporting this Fairness Opinion and, if we consider it necessary, to revise our conclusion in light of any information existing at the Opinion Date which becomes known to us after the date of this Fairness Opinion.

Assumptions

Prior to reaching the conclusions noted herein, we have assumed the following:

  1. Relevant financial information as provided by Management has been prepared with a reasonable degree of care and attention to reflect the judgment of Management;

  6. The Proposed Transaction, as described below, will be completed substantially in accordance with the financial terms as presented to us by Management.

This Fairness Opinion is not expressing an opinion as to the value of TRUBAR, or the fair market value of the shares of TRUBAR, and this Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such. We have not been asked to prepare, and have not prepared, an independent formal valuation or appraisal of the securities or assets of TRUBAR nor were we provided with any such valuations and appraisals.

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process, and our opinion was arrived at giving consideration to our analyses viewed as a whole and is not susceptible to partial analysis.

Methodology Applied in Performing Fairness Analysis

In order to determine if the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR, we reviewed the structure of the Proposed Transaction, specifically the consideration proposed to be paid by ETi and the fair market value ("FMV") of TRUBAR received in return.

In order for the Proposed Transaction to be fair, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR, the FMV of TRUBAR must be no greater than the total consideration of $1.64 per share proposed to be paid by ETi.

In order to test the above conditions, we performed the procedures discussed herein. The summary set forth below is not a comprehensive description of all analyses undertaken by MNP in connection with the Fairness Opinion, nor does the order of the analyses in the summary below indicate that any analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis. None of TRUBAR, MNP or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those anticipated. In addition, analyses relating to the value of TRUBAR do represent our formal opinion of fair market value of TRUBAR, as defined by the CICBV.

Share Trading History

We reviewed TRUBAR's share trading history and performed the following procedures:

  • Analyzed TRUBAR's 5-year historical share price and market capitalization;
  • Compared market capitalization for the 12-months preceding the Opinion Date to the Consideration; and,
  • Considered other relevant analysis to market capitalization, such as average volume of shares traded, liquidity discounts or premiums, minority discounts and premiums paid for control.

Our analysis of historical share trading price indicates that the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR.

Market Based Valuation Multiples

Utilizing databases and other sources available to MNP, we identified somewhat comparable companies in the 'better-for-you' snack industry and determined revenue market-based valuation multiples, including:

  • Public company trading multiples; and,
  • Public and private company transaction multiples.

We compared current valuation multiples for the Company to the comparative multiples identified in our analysis. Our market-based valuation multiples analysis suggests that the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

In determining fairness of the Proposed Transaction, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR, we developed a valuation model to consider the potential fair market value range of TRUBAR. In building our valuation model, we selected an approach based on the operations of TRUBAR, information available to us and the expected profile of future cash flow. The discounted cash flow ("DCF") method is generally used in situations where the future cash flows of the business entity can be reasonably forecasted and are expected to differ from historical results as a result of various business or operational changes. As TRUBAR historically operated various brands rather than a focus on TRUBAR and future cash flow is expected to be inconsistent with historical results, we utilized a DCF approach in our valuation model.

Using a DCF approach, FMV is determined as the net present value of expected future free cash flows. Future free cash flows, after reflecting items such as income taxes, sustaining capital expenditures and changes in working capital, are projected over a discrete projection period and discounted by a suitable rate of return (the discount rate), which considers a number of risk factors, including company specific, industry specific, and the time value of money.

The discount rate represents a risk-adjusted rate of return on the cash flows of TRUBAR as at the Opinion Date, based on the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). WACC is the weighted average of the cost of debt and the cost of equity. The weighting is based on a selected ratio determined by the optimal capital structure of the Company.

Our analysis, utilizing a DCF model implies that the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR.

WACC and IRR Analysis

Using our DCF model, we analyzed various discount rates implied by the Proposed Transaction and market analysis and compared our observations to our estimate of TRUBAR's discount rate using the CAPM approach. We performed the following procedures:

  • We calculated TRUBAR's WACC;
  • We analyzed and tested the WACC implied in our DCF model;
  • We calculated and analyzed the implied internal rate of return ("IRR") based on market capitalization; and,
  • We calculated and analyzed the implied IRR based on the Consideration.

The discount rates and IRR implied in the Transaction suggests that the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial perspective, to the shareholders of TRUBAR.

Other Procedures

In addition to the procedures noted above, we also reviewed, analyzed and considered the following:

  • The Company’s historical financial statements, cash flows and history of operations;
  • Held discussions with MNP industry experts to gain further understanding of industry trends, outlook, and current market sentiment; and,
  • We reviewed and considered other data, analysis and materials available to us.

Fairness Opinion

Based upon our scope of review, analysis, qualifications, assumptions, and subject to the foregoing, MNP is of the opinion that, as at the Opinion Date, the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of TRUBAR.

Yours sincerely,

Each Shareholder who is a Registered Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights shall be entitled to exercise a right of dissent in connection with the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with Sections 237 to 247 of the BCA (except as the procedures of those section are varied by this Interim Order, the Final Order and the Plan of Arrangement).

  2. Only Shareholders who are Registered Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights are entitled to dissent rights. Pursuant to the terms of this Interim Order and the BCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise any rights of dissent in connection with the Arrangement Resolution:

(a) a Warrantholder in respect of such holder’s Warrants;


8

(b) an Optionholder in respect of such holder's Options;

(c) an RSUholder in respect of such holder's RSUs;

(d) TRUBAR Securityholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote any TRUBAR Securities, as applicable, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution;

(f) any other Person who is not a Registered Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights.

  1. In order for a Registered Shareholder to exercise such right of dissent under section 237–247 of the BCA (the “Dissent Right”):

(a) the dissenting Shareholder must deliver a written notice of dissent (the “Dissent Notice”) with respect to the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in connection with the Arrangement, which written notice of dissent must be received by:

TRUBAR Inc.
c/o Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP
510 West Georgia Street, Suite 1800
Vancouver, British Columbia V6M 0M3

Attention: Kristopher Miks

no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on January 9, 2026 (or by 5:00 p.m. on the day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, if applicable).

(b) the dissenting Shareholder must not have voted any of his, her, or its Common Shares, either by proxy or in person, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution;

(c) a vote against the Arrangement Resolution or an abstention shall not constitute the written notice of dissent required under paragraph 30(a) herein;

(d) a dissenting Shareholder may not exercise Dissent Rights in respect of only a portion of such dissenting Shareholder’s Common Shares, but may dissent only with respect to all of the Common Shares held by such person either as registered owner or beneficial owner; and

(e) the exercise of such Dissent Rights must otherwise strictly comply with the requirements of sections 237 to 247 of the BCA, as modified by this Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement.


9

  1. The Dissent Notice must set out the number and class of Common Shares in respect of which the Dissent Rights are being exercised (the "Notice Shares") and:

(a) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Shareholder owns no other Common Shares' beneficially, a statement to that effect;

(b) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but the Dissenting Shareholder owns additional Common Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholders, the number and class of Common Shares held by each such Registered Shareholder and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other Common Shares; or

(c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such Common Shares, a statement to that effect and the name and address of the Beneficial Shareholder and a statement that the Registered Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all Common Shares of the Beneficial Shareholder registered in such Registered Shareholder's name.

  1. If the Arrangement Resolution is approved as required at the Meeting, and if TRUBAR notifies the Dissenting Shareholders of its intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution, the Dissenting Shareholder is then required within one month after TRUBAR gives such notice, to send to TRUBAR, the certificates representing the Notice Shares (if any) and a written statement that requires the Purchaser to purchase all of the Notice Shares. If the Dissent Right is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a Beneficial Shareholder who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a statement signed by such Beneficial Shareholder is required which sets out whether the Beneficial Shareholder is the beneficial owner of other Common Shares and if so, (i) the names of the Registered Shareholders of such Common Shares; (ii) the number of such Common Shares; and (iii) that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of such Common Shares. Upon delivery of these documents, the Dissenting Shareholder is deemed to have sold the Common Shares and TRUBAR is deemed to have purchased them. Once the Dissenting Shareholder has done this, the Dissenting Shareholder may not vote or exercise any shareholder rights in respect of the Notice Shares.

  2. A Shareholder who was a Registered Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights who fully complies with the dissent procedures in sections 237 to 247 of the BCA, as modified by this Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, is entitled, if (and only if) and when the Arrangement becomes effective, to dissent and to be paid the fair value, determined as of immediately before the passing of the Arrangement Resolution, of the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in respect of which the Shareholder dissents.


10

  1. A Dissenting Shareholder loses his or her Dissent Right if, among other things, before full payment is made for the Notice Shares, TRUBAR abandons the Arrangement, the Arrangement Resolution is not approved at the Meeting, a court permanently enjoins the action, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Dissent Notice with TRUBAR's consent. When these events occur, the Purchaser must return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder regains the ability to vote and exercise shareholder rights.

  2. Any Registered Shareholder who duly exercises such Dissent Right set out in paragraphs 28 to 30 above and who:

(a) is ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its Common Shares shall be deemed to have transferred and assigned those Common Shares as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Circular), without any further act or formality and free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, charges, adverse interests or security interests to TRUBAR for cancellation in consideration for a payment of cash from TRUBAR equal to such fair value; or

(b) is for any reason ultimately determined not to be entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Dissent Right, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis and at the same time as any non-dissenting Shareholder;

but in no case shall TRUBAR, the Parent, or the Purchaser, or any other person be required to recognize such Shareholders as holders of Common Shares after the time that is immediately prior to the Effective Time and the names of such Shareholders shall be deleted from TRUBAR's register of holders of Common Shares at that time.

  1. Notice to the Shareholders of their Dissent Right with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and their right to receive, subject to the provisions of the BCA and the Arrangement, the fair value of their Common Shares shall be given by including information with respect to this right in the Circular to be sent to Shareholders in accordance with this Interim Order.

Parties to the Arrangement Agreement

The Arrangement Agreement

  1. On November 23, 2025, TRUBAR, the Parent, and the Purchaser entered into the Arrangement Agreement.

  2. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Purchaser will, among other things, acquire all of the Common Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the plan of arrangement attached as Schedule “A” to the Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement” or the “Plan of Arrangement”).

The Plan of Arrangement

  1. TRUBAR proposes to call, hold, and conduct a special meeting of holders of Common Shares (“Shareholders”), holders of Warrants (the “Warrantholders”), holders of Options (the “Optionholders”), and holders of RSUs (the “RSUholders”, and together with the Shareholders, the Warrantholders and the Optionholders, the “TRUBAR Securityholders”) on January 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EST at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP located at 222 Bay Street, Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario to consider and vote upon the Arrangement (the “Meeting”).

  2. If the Arrangement is approved, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement:

(a) TRUBAR Shareholders (other than Shareholders who have validly exercised dissent rights) will be entitled to receive C$1.64 per Common Share (the “Consideration”);

(b) Warrantholders will receive for each Warrant held, less any applicable withholdings, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Warrant multiplied by the number of Common Shares subject to such Warrant;

(c) Optionholders will receive for each Option held, less any applicable withholdings, a cash payment equal to the amount by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Option multiplied by the number of Common Shares subject to such Option; and

(d) RSUholders will receive for each RSU held, a cash payment equal to the Consideration, less any applicable withholdings

  1. Under the Plan of Arrangement, the following events or transactions shall occur or be deemed to occur in the following order:

(a) each outstanding Common Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder in respect of which Dissent Rights have not been validly exercised will be deemed to have been transferred without any further act or formality by the holder thereof to the


Purchaser in consideration for a debt claim against the Purchaser for the amount determined under the dissent rights provisions of the Plan of Arrangement;

(b) each Warrant, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding at the Effective Time will be, without any further action by or on behalf of the holder thereof, assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to TRUBAR in exchange for a cash payment, less any applicable withholdings, from TRUBAR equal to the amount (if any) by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Warrant, multiplied by the number of Common Shares that such Warrant entitles the holder to purchase, and each such Warrant will immediately be cancelled and terminated;

(c) each Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding at the Effective Time will be, without any further action by or on behalf of the holder thereof, assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to TRUBAR in exchange for a cash payment, less any applicable withholdings, from TRUBAR equal to the amount (if any) by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Option, multiplied by the number of Common Shares that such Option entitles the holder to purchase, and each such Option will immediately be cancelled and terminated;

(d) each RSU, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding at the Effective Time will be, without any further action by or on behalf of the holder of such RSU, assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to TRUBAR in exchange for a cash payment, less any applicable withholdings, from TRUBAR equal to the Consideration, and each such RSU will be immediately cancelled and terminated; and

(e) each outstanding Common Share (other than Common Shares held by any Dissenting Shareholder who has validly exercised such holder's Dissent Rights) will be deemed to have been assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to the Purchaser in exchange for the Consideration.

Background and Reasons for the Plan of Arrangement

  1. The background to the Arrangement and its business rationales are described in detail at pages 36 to 45 of the Circular.

  2. In connection with the Arrangement, the board of directors of TRUBAR (the “Board”) formed a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) to review and evaluate the Arrangement along with potential alternatives available to TRUBAR. The Special Committee was responsible for reviewing, evaluating and negotiating the terms of proposals received from the Purchaser, making recommendations to the Board in respect of such proposals and negotiating the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

  3. Having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considering, information concerning, among other things, TRUBAR, the Parent, the Purchaser, and the Arrangement, and, after receiving legal and financial advice, the Special Committee unanimously: (i) recommended that the Board approve the Arrangement and the entry by


TRUBAR into the Arrangement Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) determined that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the TRUBAR Securityholders, and is in the best interests of TRUBAR; and (iii) recommended that the Board recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

  1. Having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considering, the recommendation of the Special Committee and information concerning, among other things, TRUBAR, the Parent, the Purchaser, and the Arrangement, and after receiving legal and financial advice, the Board (subject to certain abstentions of conflicted directors) unanimously: (i) approved the Arrangement and the entry by TRUBAR into the Arrangement Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) determined that the Arrangement is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders, and is in the best interests of TRUBAR; and (iii) resolved to recommend that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

  2. In making its determination, the Board (subject to certain abstentions of conflicted directors) considered and relied upon a variety of information, including, among others, the following principal reasons and procedural safeguards:

(a) Significant Premium to Market Value. The Consideration to be paid pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement for each Common Share represents a 64% premium to the closing price of the Common Shares, and a 102% premium to the 60-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V, in each case as of November 21, 2025, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement.

(b) Certainty of Value and Immediate Liquidity. The Consideration is payable entirely in cash. By receiving the Consideration upon the completion of the Plan of Arrangement, TRUBAR Securityholders are provided with immediate liquidity and certainty of value and are able to eliminate the investment risk associated with owning shares of a corporation operating in a volatile business and economic environment, as well as exposure to other risks that are beyond TRUBAR's and its management's control.

(c) Independence of the Special Committee. The Special Committee is comprised of Richard Kellam (Chair), H. Brock Bundy and St. John Walshe, who were and are free from any interest and any business or other relationship with TRUBAR and the Purchaser that could, or would reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interest of TRUBAR, and are each an "independent director" as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The process of the Special Committee included the retention of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP as legal counsel and MNP as independent financial advisor.


(d) Review of Alternatives and the Status Quo. Prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement, the Special Committee, with the assistance of its financial advisors and legal counsel, and based upon their collective knowledge of the business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects of TRUBAR, as well as their collective knowledge of the current and prospective environment in which TRUBAR operates (including economic and political conditions), assessed the relative benefits and risks of various alternatives to the Plan of Arrangement, including continued execution of TRUBAR’s existing strategic plan and the possibility of soliciting other potential buyers of TRUBAR. As part of that process, the Special Committee concluded that the Consideration is likely to represent greater value than would reasonably be expected from the continued execution of TRUBAR’s existing strategic plan, in light of a variety of factors, including the highly competitive nature of the better-for-you wellness packaged goods industry, rising costs of raw materials, labour and transportation, the substantial capital and resources required to implement TRUBAR’s strategic plan and the limited availability and high cost of such capital if TRUBAR remained publicly listed and it was not reasonable to expect that TRUBAR could consummate an alternative change of control transaction on terms that were more favourable to TRUBAR Securityholders than the Plan of Arrangement. The Special Committee continually assessed alternatives throughout the process of evaluating and negotiating the Arrangement and, ultimately, concluded that entering into the Arrangement Agreement was the most favourable alternative reasonably available.

(e) Comprehensive Negotiations. The Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement are the result of a comprehensive negotiation process that was undertaken with the oversight and participation of the Special Committee and the participation of legal counsel and financial advisors, which resulted in arm’s length negotiations and an agreement with terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the Special Committee and the Board.

(f) Support Agreements. The Supporting Holders have entered into Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to vote the TRUBAR Securities over which they exercise voting control in favour of the Plan of Arrangement. In the aggregate, Supporting Holders holding or controlling approximately 16% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares, 34% of the issued and outstanding Warrants, 68% of the total number of issued and outstanding Options and 97% of the issued and outstanding RSUs, have agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement. In the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, obligations under the Support Agreements automatically terminate.

(g) No Financing Condition and Reasonable Likelihood of Completion. The Purchaser’s obligations under the Arrangement Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent, who has demonstrated commitment and credit


worthiness which is indicative of the ability of the Parent to complete the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement. The Plan of Arrangement is not subject to a financing condition and the Purchaser has represented that, as of the Effective Date, the Purchaser will have sufficient funds available to satisfy the aggregate Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. Further, the Arrangement is otherwise subject to a limited number of customary conditions.

(h) Fairness Opinion. MNP, the independent financial advisor to the Special Committee, has provided the Special Committee with the Fairness Opinion to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications to be set forth in the written fairness opinion to be included in the Circular, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

(i) Ability to Respond to Superior Proposals. The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement do not prevent a third party from making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal. Subject to compliance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Board is not precluded from considering and responding to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Superior Proposal at any time prior to obtaining the approval by TRUBAR Securityholders of the Arrangement Resolution. In the event that a Superior Proposal is made and not matched by the Purchaser, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by TRUBAR and TRUBAR may enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, subject to the payment by TRUBAR to the Purchaser of the Termination Fee in certain circumstances.

(j) Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement. In certain circumstances, upon the termination of the Arrangement Agreement TRUBAR will be obligated to pay the Purchaser the Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement. In the view of the Special Committee and the Board, such fees would not preclude the possibility of a third party making a Superior Proposal.

(k) TRUBAR Securityholder and Court Approval. The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least: (a) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share held; (b) two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders, Warrantholders, Optionholders and RSUholders, voting as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share or one vote per Common Share underlying, as applicable, the Warrants, Options and RSUs held; and (c) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Shareholders, present in person or represented by


proxy at the Meeting, each being entitled to one vote per Common Share, excluding for this purpose votes cast in respect of Common Shares that are held or controlled by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101. The Arrangement must also be approved by the Court, which will consider the fairness and reasonableness of the Plan of Arrangement to TRUBAR Securityholders.

(I) Fair Treatment. In the Special Committee's and the Board's respective views, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement treat stakeholders of TRUBAR equitably and fairly, including payment of equivalent consideration to holders of the TRUBAR Securities other than the Common Shares on a per Common Share as-converted basis, and the Plan of Arrangement is expected to benefit TRUBAR and such stakeholders of TRUBAR.

(m) Interim Period Restrictions. The restrictions on TRUBAR's business until the Plan of Arrangement is completed or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated are reasonable and are not expected to impair or materially affect TRUBAR's business during such period.

(n) Availability of Dissent Rights. Shareholders who oppose the Plan of Arrangement may, upon compliance with certain conditions, exercise Dissent Rights and, if ultimately successful, receive fair value for their Common Shares.

  1. In the course of its deliberations, the Special Committee and the Board each considered a number of potential risks and potential negative factors, which the Board concluded were outweighed by the positive substantive and procedural factors of the Plan of Arrangement, described in detail at pages 88-91 of the Circular.

  2. Based on the above-noted factors, the Board (subject to certain abstentions of conflicted directors), after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair to the TRUBAR Securityholders, and is in the best interests of TRUBAR. Accordingly, the Board (subject to certain abstentions of conflicted directors) unanimously recommended that the TRUBAR Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

A Registered Shareholder wishing to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement must send to TRUBAR a written notice of dissent to the Arrangement Resolution (the "Dissent Notice"), which Dissent Notice must be received by TRUBAR (c/o Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP 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 on the day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, if applicable), and must otherwise strictly comply with the dissent procedures described in the Circular, the Interim Order, the BCA and the Plan of Arrangement.

  2. Pursuant to the Interim Order, a Registered Shareholder who was a Registered Shareholder as of the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights who fully complies with the dissent procedures in sections 237 to 247 of the BCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, is entitled, if and when the Plan of Arrangement becomes effective, to dissent and to be paid the fair value, determined as of immediately before the passing of the Arrangement Resolution, of the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in respect of which the Shareholder dissents.

Canadian Securities Laws

  1. TRUBAR is a reporting issuer or equivalent in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and is listed on the TSX-V, and accordingly, is subject to MI 61-101. As set out in detail at pages 55-60 of the Circular, the Arrangement constitutes a business combination under MI 61-101 as certain related parties of TRUBAR will be entitled to receive a "collateral benefit" as a consequence of the Arrangement. As the Arrangement constitutes a business combination for the purposes of MI 61-101, the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 apply in connection with the Plan of Arrangement.

Regulatory and Other Approvals

  1. The Plan of Arrangement does not constitute a notifiable transaction under the Competition Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-34 (Canada) and related Notifiable Transactions Regulations, SOR/87-348.

Part 3: LEGAL BASIS

  1. TRUBAR pleads and relies on sections 186 and 288-297 of the BCA, Rules 2-1, 4-4, 4-5 and 16-1 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules, and the inherent jurisdiction of the Court.

The Approval Process

  1. Section 288(1) of the BCA permits a company to propose an arrangement with its shareholders, creditors or other persons and may, in that arrangement, make any proposal it considers appropriate.

  2. Before an arrangement proposed under section 288(1) of the BCA takes effect, the arrangement must be: (a) adopted in accordance with section 289 of the BCA; and (b) approved by the Court under section 291 of the BCA.

  3. Section 291 of the BCA contemplates that this process proceeds in three steps:

(a) the first step is an application for an interim order for directions for calling a security holders’ meeting to consider and vote on the proposed arrangement. The first application proceeds ex-parte because of the administrative burden of serving security holders;

(b) the second step is the meeting of the securityholders, where the proposed arrangement is voted upon, and must be approved by a special resolution; and

(c) the third step is the application for final Court approval of the arrangement.

Rapier Gold Inc. (Re), 2018 BCSC 539 at para. 36

  1. The steps taken and proposed to be taken by TRUBAR pursuant to the proposed Interim Order include:

(a) providing notice of the Meeting to TRUBAR Securityholders so they have an opportunity to consider the Plan of Arrangement and have an opportunity to make submissions on the return of this Petition;

(b) ensuring there is sufficient and appropriate approval of the Plan of Arrangement by TRUBAR Securityholders; and

(c) providing dissent rights.

  1. The foregoing requirements will enable the Meeting to be called, held and conducted in a procedurally suitable fashion. Moreover, the proposed Interim Order is consistent with previous orders that have been issued by this Court in respect of other plans of arrangement.

Proposed Plan of Arrangement is an "Arrangement" under the BCA

  1. The purpose of an interim order is to "set the wheels in motion" for the arrangement and establish parameters for the required shareholder meeting. To grant the interim order, the Court need only be satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to regard the transaction as an "arrangement"; consideration of the statutory requirements and the fairness of the transaction should be left to the final order hearing.

Mason Capital Management LLC v. Telus Corp., 2012 BCSC 1582 at paras. 31-32

  1. The BCA defines an "arrangement" using broad and inclusive terms. Pursuant to section 288(1) of the BCA, a company may propose an arrangement with security holders, creditors or other persons and may, in that arrangement, make any proposal it considers appropriate, including proposals for the following:

(a) an alteration to any of the rights or special rights or restrictions attached to any of the shares of the company;

(b) an amalgamation of the company with one or more corporations;

(c) a transfer of all or any part of the money, securities or other property, rights and interests of the company to another corporation in exchange for money, securities or other property, rights and interests of the other corporation;

(d) a transfer of all or any part of the liabilities of the company to another corporation; and

(e) an exchange of securities of the company held by security holders for money, securities or other property, rights and interests of the company or for money, securities or other property, rights and interests of another corporation.

  1. The broad nature of the arrangement provisions of the BCA is also demonstrated by section 291(2) which permits the Court "in respect of a proposed arrangement, [to] make any order it considers appropriate", and then lists a non-exhaustive set of orders that can be made. In this case, all relevant stakeholders will receive notice of the proceedings and the Plan of Arrangement in accordance with the Interim Order of this Court and will be given an opportunity to appear and voice any objection at the hearing in respect of the Final Order.

  2. Here, TRUBAR is a "company" as defined in section 1(1) of the BCA and the Plan of Arrangement falls within the definitions of "arrangement" in section 288(1)(e).

  3. It is respectfully submitted that the Plan of Arrangement constitutes an "arrangement" under the BCA.


The Final Order Hearing

  1. The question of whether the proposed Arrangement is procedurally and substantively fair and reasonable overall and meets all applicable statutory requirements will be determined at the return of the Petition, at which time the result of the vote by the TRUBAR Securityholders at the Meeting on the Arrangement Resolution will be known. The Petitioner will file with the Court a further affidavit to be sworn on behalf of TRUBAR reporting as to compliance with any Interim Order and the results of the Meeting conducted pursuant to such Interim Order.

  2. The final approval of the Arrangement should be granted if the Court is satisfied that:

(a) the statutory requirements have been met;
(b) the application has been put forward in good faith; and
(c) the arrangement is fair and reasonable.

Lionsgate Studio Corp. (Re), 2025 BCSC 1293 at para. 18, citing BCE Inc v. 1976 Debentureholders, 2008 SCC 69 ("BCE") at para. 137

  1. In order to determine whether an arrangement is fair and reasonable, a Court must be satisfied that: (a) the arrangement has a valid business purpose; and (b) the objections of those whose legal rights are being arranged are being resolved in a fair and balanced way.

BCE at paras. 138, 145

  1. Courts may consider a variety of factors when assessing the fairness and reasonableness of an arrangement, which are dependant upon the nature of the case, to determine whether the objections of those whose legal rights are being arranged are being resolved in a fair and balanced way, including but not limited to:

(a) whether the arrangement was negotiated at arm's length between sophisticated commercial parties with the assistance of financial and legal advisors;
(b) whether a majority of security holders have voted to approve the arrangement (this factor is given considerable weight);
(c) whether a fairness opinion has been obtained from a reputable independent expert;
(d) whether the shareholders have access to dissent and appraisal remedies; and
(e) whether any security holders have appeared in the proceedings to oppose approval of the arrangement despite having had notice of the proceedings and the right to appear.

TCPO Holding Corp. (Re), 2023 BCSC 1402 at paras. 11, 16


BCE at paras. 149-152

  1. Here, the Arrangement has a valid business purpose, as set out in paragraphs 13-19 above, and should be approved because:

(a) the relevant statutory provisions have been and will have been complied with;
(b) the Plan of Arrangement has been put forward in good faith and for a bona fide business purpose; and
(c) the Plan of Arrangement is procedurally and substantively fair and reasonable to TRUBAR and its stakeholders.

  1. At the hearing for the final approval of this Plan of Arrangement, the Petitioner expects to be able to clearly demonstrate that all three elements of the test for the granting of the Final Order have been satisfied.

Part 4: MATERIALS TO BE RELIED ON

  1. Affidavit #1 of Laura Freimane, made December 5, 2025.
  2. Further affidavits to be sworn on behalf of the Petitioner, with the exhibits thereto, outlining the basis for the Final Order, and reporting as to compliance with any Interim Order and the results of the Meeting conducted pursuant to such Interim Order.
  3. Such further and other materials as counsel may provide and this Honourable Court may accept.

THIS COURT ORDERS that:

Record Date

  1. The record date for the Meeting shall be the close of business on December 1, 2025 (the “Record Date”).

a. Registered Shareholders and registered Warrantholders, determined as at the close of business on the Record Date, at least 21 days prior to the date of the Meeting, excluding the date of mailing or delivery, by pre-paid ordinary mail or by delivery in person or by recognized courier service, addressed to the Registered Shareholder or registered Warrantholder at its address as it appears in the central securities registers of TRUBAR or the records of its transfer agent;

  2. In the event of a postal strike, lockout or event that prevents, delays or otherwise interrupts mailing or delivery of the Meeting Materials by prepaid ordinary mail (the "Postal Service Disruption") as provided for in paragraph 8 of this Interim Order, TRUBAR shall also file on TRUBAR's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com) and disseminate a press release stating:

  1. For proxies, voting instruction forms, and other Meeting Materials that are required to be delivered to TRUBAR for the purposes of the Meeting, TRUBAR shall implement measures that enable TRUBAR Securityholders, during the Postal Service Disruption, to

23

  1. Accidental failure or omission by TRUBAR to give notice to any person entitled by this Interim Order to receive notice, or any failure or omission to give such notice as a result of events beyond the reasonable control of TRUBAR (including, without limitation, any inability to use postal services), or the non-receipt of such notice or Meeting Materials, shall not constitute a breach of this Interim Order nor, in relation to notice to TRUBAR Securityholders, a defect in the calling of the Meetings, and shall not invalidate any resolution passed or proceedings taken at the Meeting. But, if any such failure or omission is brought to the attention of TRUBAR, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to rectify it by the method and in the time most reasonably practicable in the circumstances (including press release or newspaper advertisement if that is determined by the board of directors of TRUBAR (the "Board") to be the most appropriate method of communication), subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

  2. TRUBAR is hereby authorized to make such amendments, revisions, or supplements to the Meeting Materials as TRUBAR may determine be necessary or desirable ("Additional Materials"), and may deliver those Additional Materials, or any other materials that TRUBAR wishes to deliver to the TRUBAR Securityholders, all subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. Notice of such Additional Materials may be delivered in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Interim Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Materials may be delivered to the TRUBAR Securityholders by the method and in the time most reasonably practicable in the circumstances (including press release or newspaper advertisement if that is determined by the Board to be the most appropriate method of communication), subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

  3. No other form of service of the Meeting Materials, Additional Materials, or this Petition, or any portion thereof, need be made, or notice given or other material served in respect of these proceedings and/or the Meeting except as may be directed by a further order of this Court.

Dissent Rights

  1. Each Shareholder who is a Registered Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights shall be entitled to exercise a right of dissent in connection with the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with Sections 237 to 247 of the BCA (except as the procedures of those section are varied by this Interim Order, the Final Order and the Plan of Arrangement).

  2. Only Shareholders who are Registered Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights are entitled to dissent rights. Pursuant to the terms of this Interim Order and the BCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise any rights of dissent in connection with the Arrangement Resolution:

(a) a Warrantholder in respect of such holder's Warrants;

(b) an Optionholder in respect of such holder's Options;

(c) an RSUholder in respect of such holder's RSUs;

(d) TRUBAR Securityholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote any TRUBAR Securities, as applicable, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution;

(e) persons who have not strictly complied with the procedures for exercising Dissent Rights or Persons who have withdrawn their exercise of Dissent Rights prior to the Effective Time; and

(f) any other Person who is not a Registered Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights.

  1. In order for a Registered Shareholder to exercise such right of dissent under section 237–247 of the BCA (the “Dissent Right”):

(a) the dissenting Shareholder must deliver a written notice of dissent (the “Dissent Notice”) with respect to the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in connection with the Arrangement, which written notice of dissent must be received by:

TRUBAR Inc.
c/o Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP
510 West Georgia Street, Suite 1800
Vancouver, British Columbia V6M 0M3

Attention: Kristopher Miks


27

no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on January 9, 2026 (or by 5:00 p.m. on the day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, if applicable).

(b) the dissenting Shareholder must not have voted any of his, her, or its Common Shares, either by proxy or in person, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution;

(c) a vote against the Arrangement Resolution or an abstention shall not constitute the written notice of dissent required under paragraph 30(a) herein;

(d) a dissenting Shareholder may not exercise Dissent Rights in respect of only a portion of such dissenting Shareholder’s Common Shares, but may dissent only with respect to all of the Common Shares held by such person either as registered owner or beneficial owner; and

(e) the exercise of such Dissent Rights must otherwise strictly comply with the requirements of sections 237 to 247 of the BCA, as modified by this Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement.

  1. The Dissent Notice must set out the number and class of Common Shares in respect of which the Dissent Rights are being exercised (the "Notice Shares") and:

(a) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Shareholder owns no other Common Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect;

(b) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but the Dissenting Shareholder owns additional Common Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholders, the number and class of Common Shares held by each such Registered Shareholder and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other Common Shares; or

(c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such Common Shares, a statement to that effect and the name and address of the Beneficial Shareholder and a statement that the Registered Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all Common Shares of the Beneficial Shareholder registered in such Registered Shareholder's name.

  1. If the Arrangement Resolution is approved as required at the Meeting, and if TRUBAR notifies the Dissenting Shareholders of its intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution, the Dissenting Shareholder is then required within one month after TRUBAR gives such notice, to send to TRUBAR, the certificates representing the Notice Shares (if

28

any) and a written statement that requires the Purchaser to purchase all of the Notice Shares. If the Dissent Right is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a Beneficial Shareholder who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a statement signed by such Beneficial Shareholder is required which sets out whether the Beneficial Shareholder is the beneficial owner of other Common Shares and if so, (i) the names of the Registered Shareholders of such Common Shares; (ii) the number of such Common Shares; and (iii) that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of such Common Shares. Upon delivery of these documents, the Dissenting Shareholder is deemed to have sold the Common Shares and TRUBAR is deemed to have purchased them. Once the Dissenting Shareholder has done this, the Dissenting Shareholder may not vote or exercise any shareholder rights in respect of the Notice Shares.

  1. A Shareholder who was a Registered Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights who fully complies with the dissent procedures in sections 237 to 247 of the BCA, as modified by this Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, is entitled, if (and only if) and when the Arrangement becomes effective, to dissent and to be paid the fair value, determined as of immediately before the passing of the Arrangement Resolution, of the Common Shares held by such Shareholder in respect of which the Shareholder dissents.

  2. A Dissenting Shareholder loses his or her Dissent Right if, among other things, before full payment is made for the Notice Shares, TRUBAR abandons the Arrangement, the Arrangement Resolution is not approved at the Meeting, a court permanently enjoins the action, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Dissent Notice with TRUBAR's consent. When these events occur, the Purchaser must return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder regains the ability to vote and exercise shareholder rights.

(2) Dissenting Holders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in section 245 of the BCBCA, be deemed to have transferred the Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens (other than the right to be paid fair value for such Shares as set out in this Section 3.1), as provided in Section 2.3(1) and, if they:

(a) are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for such Shares: (i) shall be deemed to not have participated in the transactions contemplated by Section 2.3 (other than Section 2.3(1)) and to have transferred such Shares, as of the Effective Time without any further act or formality, free and clear of all Liens; (ii) shall be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Shares by the Purchaser, less any applicable withholdings pursuant to Section 4.3, which fair value shall be determined as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted; and (iii) shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Shares; or


44

(b) are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as Shareholders who have not exercised Dissent Rights in respect of such Shares and shall be entitled to receive the Consideration per Share to which holders of Shares who have not exercised Dissent Rights are entitled under Section 2.3(1), less any applicable withholdings pursuant to Section 4.3).

Section 3.2 Recognition of Dissenting Holders

(1) In no case shall the Company, the Purchaser or any other Person be required to recognize a Person exercising Dissent Rights unless such Person: (a) was the registered holder of those Shares in respect of which such rights are sought to be exercised as of the close of business on the record date of the Company Meeting and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights; and (b) has strictly complied with the procedures for exercising Dissent Rights; and (iii) has not withdrawn such dissent prior to the Effective Time.

(2) In no case shall the Company, the Purchaser or any other Person be required to recognize any holder of Shares who exercises Dissent Rights as a Shareholder after the Effective Time and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the register of Shares as of the Effective Time.

(3) Shareholders who withdraw, or are deemed to withdraw, their right to exercise Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Effective Time, and shall be entitled to receive the Consideration to which Shareholders who have not exercised Dissent Rights are entitled under Section 2.3(1) hereof, less any applicable withholdings pursuant to Section 4.3.

(4) In addition to any other restrictions under Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (a) holders of Company Warrants, Company Options or Company RSUs; (b) Shareholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote their Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution; or (c) Persons who have not strictly complied with the procedures for exercising Dissent Rights or Persons who have withdrawn their exercise of Dissent Rights prior to the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 4 CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS

Section 4.1 Payment of Consideration

(1) At or prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Parent shall: (a) provide the Purchaser Loan; and (b) deposit, or arrange or cause to be deposited, for the benefit of the Shareholders (other than the Dissenting Holders), cash with the Depositary in the aggregate amount equal to the payments required by this Plan of Arrangement to be made to Shareholders, which funds shall be held by the Depositary in escrow as agent and nominee for the benefit of such Shareholders. The cash deposited with the Depositary by or on behalf of the Purchaser shall be held in an interest-bearing account, and any interest earned on such funds shall be for the account of the Purchaser. The cash deposited with the Depositary shall not be used for any other purpose except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement.

(2) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or a direct registration statement (DRS) advice (each, a "DRS Advice") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3(5), together with


45

a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the registered Shareholders represented by such surrendered certificate or DRS Advice shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Upon receipt of a customary "agent's message" by the Depositary with respect to Book-Entry Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3(5), and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder of such Book-Entry Shares, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Book-Entry Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3, and any Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(3) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Warrants that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3(2), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holders of Warrants represented by such surrendered certificate or DRS Advice shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder of Warrants, the cash payment to which such holder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Warrants, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(4) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall cause the Company, or the relevant Subsidiary of the Company, to pay to each former holder of Compensation Warrants, Company Options and Company RSUs as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Compensation Warrants, Company Options and Company RSUs, the cash payment, if any, net of applicable withholdings pursuant to Section 4.3; provided that, any such cash payment may be paid through: (a) the normal payroll practices and procedures or equity plan management system of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable; or (b) by cheque (delivered to the holders of such Compensation Warrants, Company Options or Company RSUs, as applicable, as reflected on the registers maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Compensation Warrants, Company Options and Company RSUs, as applicable).

(5) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each certificate or DRS Advice that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares or Warrants (as the case may be) shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the cash payment in lieu of such certificate or DRS Advice as contemplated in this Section 4.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3. Any such certificate or DRS Advice formerly representing Shares or Warrants (as the case may be) not duly surrendered on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in the Company or the Purchaser. On such date, all cash payments to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser and shall be paid over by the Depositary to the Purchaser or as directed by the Purchaser.

(6) Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary (or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, if applicable) in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary (or the Company) or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth (6th) anniversary of


46

the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the applicable consideration for the Shares, Company Warrants, Company Options or Company RSUs in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, for no consideration.

(7) No holder of Shares, Company Warrants, Company Options or Company RSUs shall be entitled (following the completion of this Plan of Arrangement) to receive any consideration with respect to such Shares, Company Warrants, Company Options or Company RSUs other than the applicable consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and this Section 4.1. No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to any securities of the Company with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be delivered to the holder of any un-surrendered certificate or DRS Advice which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 4.2 Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash amount, and cause to be issued the Contingent Value Rights, to which such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Shares under this Plan of Arrangement in accordance with such holder's Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such payment is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such payment, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such amount as the Purchaser may direct (acting reasonably), or otherwise indemnify the Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to the Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) against any claim that may be made against the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 4.3 Withholding Rights

The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement such amounts as the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, are required to deduct and withhold, or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold, from such amount otherwise payable or deliverable under any provision of any Laws in respect of Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under the Arrangement Agreement and this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Section 4.4 No Liens

Any exchange or transfer of securities, deemed or otherwise, in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind (other than the right to be paid fair value for such Shares as set out in Section 3.1).


47

Section 4.5 Paramountcy

From and after the Effective Time: (1) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all Shares, Company Warrants, Company Options and Company RSUs issued or outstanding prior to the Effective Time; (2) the rights and obligations of the Securityholders, the Company, the Purchaser, the Parent, the Depositary, and any transfer agent or other depositary therefor in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement; and (3) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any Shares, Company Warrants, Company Options and Company RSUs shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth in this Plan of Arrangement.

(2) Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be proposed by the Company or the Purchaser, at any time prior to the Company Meeting (provided that the Purchaser shall have consented thereto in writing) with or without any other prior notice or communication, and if so proposed and accepted by the Persons voting at the Company Meeting (other than as may be required under the Interim Order), shall become part of this Plan of Arrangement for all purposes.

(3) Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement that is approved or directed by the Court following the Company Meeting shall be effective only if (a) it is consented to in writing by each of the Company and the Purchaser (in each case, acting reasonably), and (b) if required by the Court, it is approved by the Shareholders in the manner directed by the Court.

(4) Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be made following the granting of the Final Order without filing such amendment, modification or supplement with the Court or seeking Court approval, provided that (a) it concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company and the Purchaser, is of an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the economic interests of any Securityholders, or (b) is an amendment contemplated in Section 5.1.

(5) Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be made following the Effective Date unilaterally by the Purchaser, provided that it concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, is of an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the economic interest of any former Securityholder.

(b) in the case of a dissent in respect of an arrangement approved by a court order made under section 291 (2) (c) that permits dissent, the fair value that the notice shares had immediately before the passing of the resolution adopting the arrangement,

(c) in the case of a dissent in respect of a matter approved or authorized by any other court order that permits dissent, the fair value that the notice shares had at the time specified by the court order, or

(d) in the case of a dissent in respect of a community contribution company, the value of the notice shares set out in the regulations,

excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the corporate action approved or authorized by the resolution or court order unless exclusion would be inequitable.

(2) This Division applies to any right of dissent exercisable by a shareholder except to the extent that

(a) the court orders otherwise, or

(b) in the case of a right of dissent authorized by a resolution referred to in section 238 (1) (g), the court orders otherwise or the resolution provides otherwise.

Right to dissent

  1. (1) A shareholder of a company, whether or not the shareholder's shares carry the right to vote, is entitled to dissent as follows:

(a) under section 260, in respect of a resolution to alter the articles

(i) to alter restrictions on the powers of the company or on the business the company is permitted to carry on,

G-1


(ii) without limiting subparagraph (i), in the case of a community contribution company, to alter any of the company's community purposes within the meaning of section 51.91; or
(iii) without limiting subparagraph (i), in the case of a benefit company, to alter the company's benefit provision;

(b) under section 272, in respect of a resolution to adopt an amalgamation agreement;
(c) under section 287, in respect of a resolution to approve an amalgamation under Division 4 of Part 9;

(1.1) A shareholder of a company, whether or not the shareholder's shares carry the right to vote, is entitled to dissent under section 51.995 (5) in respect of a resolution to alter its notice of articles to include or to delete the benefit statement.

(2) A shareholder wishing to dissent must

(a) prepare a separate notice of dissent under section 242 for

(i) the shareholder, if the shareholder is dissenting on the shareholder's own behalf, and
(ii) each other person who beneficially owns shares registered in the shareholder's name and on whose behalf the shareholder is dissenting,

(b) identify in each notice of dissent, in accordance with section 242 (4), the person on whose behalf dissent is being exercised in that notice of dissent, and
(c) dissent with respect to all of the shares, registered in the shareholder's name, of which the person identified under paragraph (b) of this subsection is the beneficial owner.

(3) Without limiting subsection (2), a person who wishes to have dissent exercised with respect to shares of which the person is the beneficial owner must

(a) dissent with respect to all of the shares, if any, of which the person is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and
(b) cause each shareholder who is a registered owner of any other shares of which the person is the beneficial owner to dissent with respect to all of those shares.

Waiver of right to dissent

  1. (1) A shareholder may not waive generally a right to dissent but may, in writing, waive the right to dissent with respect to a particular corporate action.

(2) A shareholder wishing to waive a right of dissent with respect to a particular corporate action must

(a) provide to the company a separate waiver for

(i) the shareholder, if the shareholder is providing a waiver on the shareholder's own behalf, and

(ii) each other person who beneficially owns shares registered in the shareholder's name and on whose behalf the shareholder is providing a waiver, and

(b) identify in each waiver the person on whose behalf the waiver is made.

(3) If a shareholder waives a right of dissent with respect to a particular corporate action and indicates in the waiver that the right to dissent is being waived on the shareholder's own behalf, the shareholder's right to dissent with respect to the particular corporate action terminates in respect of the shares of which the shareholder is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and this Division ceases to apply to

(a) the shareholder in respect of the shares of which the shareholder is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and

(b) any other shareholders, who are registered owners of shares beneficially owned by the first mentioned shareholder, in respect of the shares that are beneficially owned by the first mentioned shareholder.

(4) If a shareholder waives a right of dissent with respect to a particular corporate action and indicates in the waiver that the right to dissent is being waived on behalf of a specified person who beneficially owns shares registered in the name of the shareholder, the right of shareholders who are registered owners of shares beneficially owned by that specified person to dissent on behalf of that specified person with respect to the particular corporate action terminates and this Division ceases to apply to those shareholders in respect of the shares that are beneficially owned by that specified person.

  1. (1) If a resolution in respect of which a shareholder is entitled to dissent is to be considered at a meeting of shareholders, the company must, at least the prescribed number of days before the date of the proposed meeting, send to each of its shareholders, whether or not their shares carry the right to vote,

(a) a copy of the proposed resolution, and

(b) a notice of the meeting that specifies the date of the meeting, and contains a statement advising of the right to send a notice of dissent.

(2) If a resolution in respect of which a shareholder is entitled to dissent is to be passed as a consent resolution of shareholders or as a resolution of directors and the earliest date on which that resolution can be passed is specified in the resolution or in the statement

G-3


referred to in paragraph (b), the company may, at least 21 days before that specified date, send to each of its shareholders, whether or not their shares carry the right to vote,

(a) a copy of the proposed resolution, and
(b) a statement advising of the right to send a notice of dissent.

(3) If a resolution in respect of which a shareholder is entitled to dissent was or is to be passed as a resolution of shareholders without the company complying with subsection (1) or (2), or was or is to be passed as a directors' resolution without the company complying with subsection (2), the company must, before or within 14 days after the passing of the resolution, send to each of its shareholders who has not, on behalf of every person who beneficially owns shares registered in the name of the shareholder, consented to the resolution or voted in favour of the resolution, whether or not their shares carry the right to vote,

(a) a copy of the resolution,
(b) a statement advising of the right to send a notice of dissent, and
(c) if the resolution has passed, notification of that fact and the date on which it was passed.

Notice of court orders
