There is an Amended and Restated Offering Document related to the LIFE Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at https://libraenergymaterials.com/private-placement-august-2026 .

In connection with the LIFE Offering, the Company paid an aggregate cash finder's fee of $1,500 to an eligible finder, equal to 6% of the cash proceeds raised from subscribers introduced by such finder, in accordance with applicable securities laws and Canadian Securities Exchange requirements. Certain insiders of the Company participated in the LIFE Offering for an aggregate of 1,319,000 HD Shares for aggregate proceeds of $131,900.
