The Name Change and the Consolidation were each approved by resolutions of the Company's board of directors, and are subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the completion of all applicable corporate and regulatory filings.

The Name Change, Consolidation and symbol change are expected to become effective on or about August 26, 2026 (the "Effective Date").

Name change and symbol change

The Company will be known as Surge Digital Inc., and its common shares are expected to commence trading on the TSXV on a post-consolidation basis under the new name and the symbol " SRGE " at the opening of trading on the Effective Date.

The board determined that the name change and the symbol change better reflect the Company's business focus and strategic direction.

Share consolidation

The Company currently has 355,780,820 common shares issued and outstanding. On the Consolidation becoming effective, and subject to the treatment of fractional shares described below, the Company will have approximately 50,825,831 common shares issued and outstanding.

No fractional common shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. Where the Consolidation would otherwise result in a fractional common share, the number of post-consolidation common shares to be received will be rounded down to the nearest whole number if the fractional interest is less than one-half of a common share and rounded up to the nearest whole number if the fractional interest is one-half of a common share or greater. No cash consideration will be paid in respect of any fractional interest.

Accordingly, the actual number of post-Consolidation common shares issued and outstanding may differ from the number set out above.

The number of common shares issuable under, and the exercise or conversion price of, all outstanding stock options, share purchase warrants and other securities of the Company convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common shares will be adjusted proportionately in accordance with their respective terms and applicable TSXV policies to reflect the Consolidation.

Other than in respect of the rounding of fractional shares described above, the Consolidation will not affect the proportionate equity interest or voting rights of any shareholder of the Company relative to other shareholders.

No shareholder approval required

The articles of the Company permit the board to approve and implement each of the Name Change and the Consolidation without shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Name Change and the Consolidation were approved by the board, and no meeting of, or approval by, the shareholders of the Company is required.
