Recent developments

There are no material developments in respect of the Company that have not been disclosed in this Offering Document or in any other document filed by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of this Offering Document.

The following is a brief summary of the recent developments involving or affecting the Company:

On May 15, 2025, the Company announced the completed sale of its property, located at 24 Corporate Court in Guelph, ON, which housed the Company's corporate office and laboratory space, for $2,500,000, which the Company leased back from the purchaser until January 31, 2026.

On May 27, 2025, the Company announced the execution of an agency agreement with RSK Environment Ltd.


5

("RSK"), a global environmental consulting, engineering and technical services business, headquartered in the United Kingdom. The agreement enables RSK to act as Zentek's authorized facilitator for marketing and promoting its ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters in more than 20 countries. Under the agreement, RSK will support Zentek's international growth by identifying and developing sales opportunities for ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters in key global markets, including the Gulf Cooperation Council region. Zentek will retain full responsibility for manufacturing and fulfillment while compensating RSK with a fixed commission on sales generated within the designated territories. The term of the agreement is for three years, with additional renewal options.

On June 12, 2025, the Company announced new independent test results comparing the viral filtration efficiency of ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters against the bacteriophage MS2 compared to equivalent Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value-rated filters without ZenGUARD™. The testing was performed by the thirdparty ISO 17025:2017 certified lab LMS Technologies Inc., which specializes in the testing and certification of filter Manufacturers across the world in line with American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers ("ASHRAE") standards. The test results showed that the ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters achieved an average infectious aerosol removal efficiency of MS2 bacteriophage of 42% compared to an untreated filter, which achieved an average of 16%. These strong results aligned with previous tests performed with bacteriophage Phi6, which is often used as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses. Based on these test results using MS2 bacteriophage, the Company obtained science-based, directly comparable data demonstrating that ZenGUARD™ is highly effective and is fully aligned with ASHRAE Standard 241 testing methodology.

On June 26, 2025, the Company announced that it had received a letter from Health Canada noting that Health Canada was considering the classification of ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters and inviting the Company to submit additional information regarding the appropriate regulatory classification.

On July 11, 2025, the Company announced that the consulting contract for its Chief Executive Officer Greg Fenton would not be extended following its expiry on March 31, 2026, and that the Company had begun a search for a successor. Effective September 3, 2025, Mr. Fenton resigned as a director and officer of the Company.

On August 27, 2025, the Company announced that it had received a written notification (the "Notification Letter") from the NASDAQ, that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of the Company's common shares has been below US $1.00 per share for 31 consecutive business days.

On September 2, 2025, the Company announced that AGC had been awarded a grant of $500,000 from the Ontario Government's Critical Minerals Innovation Fund for its Albany Graphite Purification and Anode Material Development Project.

On September 3, 2025, the Company announced that Ilse Treurnicht had resigned from the Company's board of directors, and that Lisa Sim had determined not to stand for re-election at the Company's upcoming shareholder meeting.

On September 3, 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Altek Advanced Materials Inc. ("Altek"), a Nevada incorporated private company, of which the Company's former Chief Executive Officer Greg Fenton is the Chief Executive Officer and a beneficial controlling shareholder, focused on the commercialization of advanced material technologies in the United States, to negotiate one or more non-exclusive licensing agreements relating to Zentek's various technologies, including ZenGUARD™, in order to accelerate Zentek's efforts and opportunities for commercialization in the United States. The LOI provides for an initial licensing term for ZenGUARD™ of five years, with an option to renew the term for an additional five years. Royalties of between 5% and 8% of net sales of ZenGUARD™ or ZenGUARD™ products based on certain net sales thresholds. Altek shall be responsible for manufacturing and


6

commercializing the products in the United States, and Zentek shall retain ownership of all of its intellectual property.

On September 18, 2025, the Company announced that it had completed the first in vivo tests of the lead candidate countermeasure for seasonal influenza (H1N1) as part of the $1,100,000 Government of Canada contract. Testing of the lead candidate in vivo (mouse model) was facilitated by Nexus Health at McMaster University under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Miller. Animals given the aptamer lead candidate prophylactically had substantially improved clinical scores, 5x greater survival rates, 80% less weight loss 5 days post-infection, and decreased recovery times compared to the control group.

On September 22, 2025, the Company announced that AGC, in collaboration with American Energy Technologies Company ("AETC"), had successfully purified a second batch of Albany graphite deposit flotation concentrate to an ultra-high 5N purity level of 99.9992 wt.% C. Subsequent elemental analysis of this material yielded a calculated Equivalent Boron Concentration of 2.60 ppm which is below the 3 ppm specification required by the nuclear industry. The findings indicate that the electrothermal Fluidized Bed Reactor purification process developed by AETC has the potential to produce reproducible results, and that ultra-high purity Albany Graphite could be suitable for use in the nuclear energy industry, a field traditionally dominated by synthetic graphite.

On October 6, 2025, the Company announced that AGC, in collaboration with AETC, had successfully completed additional material characterization tests that confirm nuclear specifications continue to be met. The test confirmed that Albany Graphite meets the specified particle size distribution and D50 (median particle diameter) required for nuclear applications. Achieving the proper particle size ensures the graphite can be processed efficiently and maintains consistent performance during manufacturing. This is critical for the reliability and integrity of nucleargrade graphite components used in reactor environments. Albany Graphite demonstrated high compact density and low elastic expansion after compression, which are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and long-term stability of matrix graphite used in nuclear reactors, especially those of pebble bed type. High compact density and minimal expansion ensure components can withstand the extreme conditions present in nuclear operations. The material also exhibited low electrical resistivity, indicating a high degree of graphitization, which enhances thermal and electrical conductivity, and is vital for efficient and safe reactor performance, especially in pebble-bed and other advanced nuclear reactors. This property supports the overall efficiency and safety of nuclear energy systems. Albany Graphite also met or exceeded industry standards for frictional performance.

On October 22, 2025, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of units (the "October Units") through the issuance of 2,338,893 October Units at a price of $1.06 per October Unit (the "October Financing") for gross proceeds of $2,479,227. Each October Unit consisted of (i) one common share in the capital of the Company (each, an "October Common Share"); (ii) one-half of one October Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Series A Warrant"); and (iii) one-half of one October Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Series B Warrant"). Each whole Series A Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one October Common Share at a price of $1.50 until October 22, 2027 (the "Series A Expiry Date"). If at any time between the date that is four months and one day from the closing date of the October Financing and the Series A Expiry Date, the closing price of the common shares on the TSXV is at least $2.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Series A Expiry Date can be accelerated to such day that is no less than thirty days from the date notice is given by the Company of such accelerated expiry. Each whole Series B Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one October Common Share at a price of $2.00 until October 22, 2028 (the "Series B Expiry Date"). If at any time between the date that is six months from the closing date of the October Financing and the Series B Expiry Date, the closing price of the common shares on the TSXV is at least $3.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Series B Expiry Date can be accelerated to such day that is no less than thirty days from the date notice is given by the Company of such accelerated expiry. In connection with the closing of the October Financing, unit issue costs of $84,971 consisted of cash finder fees, finder warrants, entitling the holders thereof to purchase an aggregate of 33,424 October Units at a price of $1.06 per October Unit until October 22, 2027, and legal fees.

On November 5, 2025, the Company announced the development of a novel Graphite Gel-Based Fire-Retardant ("GBFR") product that combines both rapid gelation and intumescent components to rapidly protect homes from wildfires.

On November 21, 2025, the Company announced that on October 8, 2025, the Company received a notice of reassessment from Canada Revenue Agency in respect of its 2019 financial year resulting in a reclassification of approximately $199,000 (16.467%) of the amounts renounced (the "Reclassified Expenses") on the basis that the Reclassified Expenses did not meet the definition of Canadian Exploration Expenses, as defined for income tax purposes. As a result, Part XII.6 tax payable under section 211.91 of the Income Tax Act, related to form T101 was assessed for $22,481.89.

On November 25, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Mohammed Jiwan as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and a director of the Company, effective December 1, 2025.

On December 17, 2025, the Company announced that AGC had achieved near theoretical anode performance in independent lithium-ion battery testing using ultrahigh purity Albany graphite. In four-industry standard coin cell tests, carbon coated, spheroidized Albany graphite delivered an average reversible capacity of approximately 367 mAh/g – just 1.3% below the theoretical maximum for graphite – with strong cycling stability and efficient processing. These results indicate that Albany graphite has the potential to serve as a high-performance, natural graphite anode material for lithium-ion batteries, supporting Zentek's strategy to build a value-added position in the North American battery supply chain.

On January 5, 2026, the Company announced that AGC had received final, positive results indicating that its ultrahigh purity Albany graphite meets the threshold for applications in a range of high-return markets, including: nuclear energy; defense and national security infrastructure; advanced aerospace and hypersonics; and premium lithium-ion batteries. The latest independent testing of Albany graphite bricks represents the culmination of the current stage of AGC's nuclear suitability program and further validates Albany's broader ultra-high-purity performance.

On January 29, 2026, the Company announced the departure of its Chief Science Officer, Colin van der Kuur. The responsibilities of the Chief Science Officer role have been redistributed across the existing technical leadership team.

On February 25, 2026, the Company announced that it has been granted a 180 calendar day extension from the NASDAQ to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum US$1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule") for continued listing on NASDAQ (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), following the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period to regain compliance on February 23, 2026. The Company now has until August 24, 2026, to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance with the Rule, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days on or prior to August 24, 2026. Zentek's management intends to actively monitor the bid price for its shares and will consider all available options, including a consolidation, to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or delist from the NASDAQ.

On March 4, 2026, the Company announced the initiation of a pilot evaluation program with Quality Filters Inc. ("Quality"), a U.S.-based manufacturer of HVAC and industrial air filtration products, to assess the integration of Zentek's proprietary air filtration media technology into Quality's commercial product lines.

On March 13, 2026, the Company announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has issued its Reasons for Judgment dated March 12, 2026, in the companion actions Eveleigh et al. v. Zenyatta; Zentek v. Eveleigh et al., 2026 ONSC 1510. The Court dismissed substantially all claims advanced by Mr. Eveleigh and his consulting firm, Eveleigh Geological Consulting Inc. At trial, the claims were refined and the Court denied all remaining monetary claims. With respect to Zentek's claim for cancellation of 4.5 million
