INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Will insiders be participating in the Offering?
22NW Fund, LP (22NW) and 726 BC LLC and 726 BF LLC (collectively, 726) have agreed, upon and subject to
the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement dated November 20, 2023, to participate in the Offering. Together, 22NW and 726 are referred to as the Standby Purchasers and each is a Standby
Purchaser. Aron English is a director of the Company and manager of 22NW Fund GP, LLC, the general partner of 22NW. Shaun Noll is a director of the Company and President and Chief Investment Officer of 726. Pursuant to the terms of the
Standby Purchase Agreement, each Standby Purchaser may assign the Standby Purchase Agreement or any of its rights and obligations thereunder to one or more affiliates controlled by or under common control with such Standby Purchaser. On December 1,
2023, 726 BF LLC and 726 BC LLC each transferred their entire holdings, being 11,928,214 Common Shares 4,996,844 Common Shares, respectively, to WWT Opportunity #1 LLC (WWT1), a newly-formed LLC under common control with 726. As of
December 1, 2023, WWT1 holds all Common Shares previously held by 726, and 726 no longer holds any Common Shares. In connection with the transfer of 726s Common Shares to WWT1, WWT1 became subject to all obligations of 726 under the terms of
the Standby Purchase Agreement. 726 and WWT1 are collectively referred to herein as the 726 Group, and are collectively liable for 726s obligations as Standby Purchaser under the Standby Purchase Agreement. References to
Standby Purchasers herein include WWT1. In addition to the Common Shares transferred by 726, on December 1, 2023, Shaun Noll transferred 1,320,649 Common Shares to WWT1 and WWT1 acquired 3,939,925 Common Shares from a third party in an
arms length transaction. As a result, as of the date hereof, the 726 Group holds 22,185,632 Common Shares representing approximately 21.17% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Also on December 1, 2023, 22NW purchased 4,524,378 Common
Shares privately and through the facilities of the TSX. As of the date hereof, 22NW holds 25,880,788 Common Shares representing approximately 24.70% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Specifically, pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement, each Standby Purchaser agreed to exercise its Basic Subscription Privilege in full,
and in addition thereto, to purchase from the Company, at the Subscription Price, 50% and 50%, respectively, of all Standby Shares, up to an aggregate of 42,857,142 Common Shares or subscription price of C$15,000,000 (including Common Shares
acquired by such Standby Purchaser under its Basic Subscription Privilege and Additional Subscription Privilege, if any). If the aggregate subscription price, for any Standby Purchaser, of (i) Common Shares purchased by such Standby Purchaser
pursuant to its Basic Subscription Privilege and Additional Subscription Privilege, if any and (ii) 50% of the Standby Shares, exceeds C$15,000,000, the other Standby Purchaser is required to purchase such number of Standby Shares as is
necessary so that the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company pursuant to the Offering is C$30,000,000. In no event, shall either Standby Purchaser be required to subscribe for Common Shares with an aggregate subscription price in excess of
C$15,000,000.
Both Aron English and Shaun Noll have indicated to the Company that they intend to participate in the Offering and
exercise, in full, their Basic Subscription Privileges; however, there is no obligation to do so under the Standby Commitment, or otherwise. As of the date hereof, English and Noll personally hold 1,777,369 and 9,957 Common Shares, respectively,
representing approximately 1.70% and 0.01%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As a result, the Company expects to issue 1,453,710 and 8,143 Common Shares to English and Noll, respectively, pursuant to the Basic Subscription
Privilege, assuming each of English and Noll exercise their respective Basic Subscription Privileges in full. The number of Common Shares issuable to English and Noll pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege depends on the extent to which
shareholders participate in the Offering and is not known to the Company at this time.
Other directors and executive officers of the
Company may potentially elect to participate in the Offering with respect to Rights distributed in respect of their Common Shares that they own as of the Record Date. There is, however, no obligation to do so and the Company provides no assurances
in this regard. It is expected that some of the directors and executive officers of the Company will participate in the Offering, but there is no guarantee that they will do so.
As a result of the Standby Commitments, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Offering to which the Standby Purchasers have
committed (being an aggregate of 85,714,285 Common Shares) will be sold, and the Company will realize gross proceeds of C$30,000,000 thereunder (subject to adjustment for rounding). See Standby Commitment.
