The Company has also granted the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, within 30 days after the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to that number of additional Offered Shares at the Offering Price equal to 15% of the number of Offered Shares issued pursuant to the Offering.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to continue store expansion of the Company’s JOi DOLLAR PLUS chain across Mexico, as well as general working capital purposes.

The Offering will be completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement to be entered into by the Company and the Underwriters. The Common Shares will be offered by way of a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated September 23, 2026 to be filed in all provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. The Prospectus Supplement will contain important information about the Offering and will be filed within two business days. The Offered Shares may also be offered by way of private placement in the United States and in offshore jurisdictions as agreed to between the Company and the Underwriters.

The Offering is anticipated to close on or about October 14, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), or such later date as the Underwriters and the Company may determine. The closing is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).

The Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the Underwriters compensation warrants of the Company to acquire in aggregate the number of Common Shares equal to 6% of the number of Common Shares sold under the Offering. Each compensation warrant will be exercisable for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price. A reduced commission shall be payable in respect of Offered Shares sold to purchasers on a president's list.
