Amaroq Minerals Ltd. (“Amaroq” or the “Company”)

Proposed equity fundraising and acquisition of additional licences to create a new West Greenland Hub

TORONTO, ONTARIO – 11 June 2025 - Amaroq Minerals Ltd. (AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ), an independent mine development corporation focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, announces that following reverse interest from recognised and substantial institutional investors, it is intending to conduct a placing and subscription of new common shares (“Common Shares”) to raise minimum gross proceeds of £30.0 million (equivalent to approximately C$55.5 million or ISK 5.1 billion) (the “Fundraising”) at a price of 85.0 pence (C$1.57, ISK144) per new Common Share (the “Placing Price”).

The net proceeds of the Fundraising will be used to:

• create a new resources hub in West Greenland and accelerate and deepen exploration drilling and the preparation of technical studies there (“West Greenland Hub”),
• support the ongoing commissioning and production expansion at Nalunaq, complete technical studies in relation to production expansion at Nalunaq, and
• provide additional balance sheet strength and working capital flexibility to the Company.

Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq, commented:“Greenland is one of the last remaining frontiers in the world and we recognise that in order to access the resource potential, whilst at the same time building the infrastructure to leverage the opportunity; a full cycle mining enterprise approach is required. As a result of significant reverse interest from recognised and substantial institutional investors, we are launching this fundraise in order to strengthen our ability to execute on our strategy of creating a growing, sustainable full-cycle mining enterprise and forming a Greenlandic legacy."

As part of the Company’s strategy to expand its Greenlandic footprint and diversify its commodity exposure Amaroq today also announces the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Black Angel Mining A/S (“Black Angel”) from FBC Mining (BA) Limited (“FBC Mining"), as well as the proposed acquisition of the Kangerluarsuk licences from 80 Mile plc (“80 Mile”) (together the “Strategic Acquisitions”), to create the West Greenland Hub. The Company has entered into a binding, conditional share sale and purchase agreement with FBC Mining, with a consideration of US$10 million, for the Black Angel acquisition; and a binding, conditional memorandum of understanding with 80 Mile and Disko Exploration Ltd, with an initial consideration of US$0.5 million and a potential deferred consideration of US$1.5 million (subject to the delineation of a mineral resource in the licence areas that could support the commencement of a formal Preliminary Economic Assessment, scoping study, or equivalent, which indicates the potential for economic extraction), for the acquisition of the Kangerluarsuk licences. The initial consideration for both Strategic Acquisitions and the potential deferred consideration (if any) will be satisfied by the issue of Amaroq shares at prices to be determined with reference to the market price of the Company's common shares prior to closing of each of the Strategic Acquisitions. Amaroq shares will be issued to satisfy the initial consideration and the deferred consideration, respectively, for the transaction with 80 Mile. Completion of each of the Strategic Acquisitions are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent (and, in the case of 80 Mile, the negotiation of definitive documentation), including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") and the approval of direct and indirect transfers of mineral exploration licences by the Government of Greenland. Upon completion of both Strategic Acquisitions, and combined with the existing portfolio of licences, Amaroq will become the largest mineral licence holder in Greenland, with a total licence area of 7,501.4km2. The acquisition of Black Angel is a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

As previously disclosed, Amaroq is also evaluating the benefit of upgrading its London listing onto the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, in order to access further market liquidity and broaden its investor base; further details of which will be shared with the market as appropriate, when a decision is made.

Details of the Strategic Acquisitions

West Greenland holds a significant and highly prospective sedimentary basin that hosts high grade lead-zinc-silver mineralisation within stratabound sulphide lenses. The acquisition of Black Angel provides access to licences covering project areas that have strong geological parallels to Canadian exploration zones with a number of active large and mid-tier mining companies. Upon completion of the Strategic Acquisitions, it is expected that Amaroq will become the largest licence holder in Greenland.

Related Party Transaction

The acquisition of Black Angel represents a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies and MI 61-101, and is also considered a transaction with a Non-Arm’s Length Party within the meaning of the TSX-V, by virtue of the fact that the ultimate parent company of Black Angel (of which Black Angel is a 100% owned subsidiary), BAMAS ehf. (“BAMAS”), is controlled by certain directors of Amaroq. In aggregate, Eldur Olafsson, Sigurbjorn Thorkelsson and Graham Stewart, all of whom are directors of Amaroq, hold approximately 72% of the issued share capital of BAMAS either directly or indirectly. Eldur Olafsson, through Vatnar hf (Iceland) holds 42.9%, Sigurbjorn Thorkelsson through Fossar Holdings Ltd. Holds 20.6% and Graham Stewart directly holds 8.5% of the issued share capital of BAMAS respectively. The independent Directors of the Company, being Line Frederiksen, David Neuhauser, Liane Kelly and Warwick Morley-Jepsen, having consulted with Panmure Liberum, the Company's nominated adviser, consider the terms of the agreement for the acquisition of Black Angel to be fair and reasonable in so far as the Company’s shareholders are concerned.

Pursuant to MI 61-101, related party transactions require the Company to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval unless exemptions from these requirements are available. With respect to the Black Angel acquisition, the Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalisation.

Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq, added:

“Earlier in 2025 we announced a significant 51% increase in overall contained gold at Nalunaq, following a successful drilling programme, demonstrating the deposit’s robust expansion potential. This fundraising will support the ongoing commissioning of the Nalunaq mine as we ramp up to nameplate capacity of 300 t/d processing rate by the end of 2025, and carry out further technical studies to confirm potential to expand processing capacity to 450 t/d going forward. The funds raised will also provide us with additional financial flexibility and market liquidity as we prepare for a Main Market listing in 2026.

We are also delighted to announce today two acquisitions in West Greenland – the previously operating Black Angel Mine and the nearby Kangerluarsuk licence area, which together will form our new West Greenland Hub, and we look forward to completing these acquisitions and commencing studies on the new licences. We are excited to be expanding our footprint in Greenland and further diversifying our commodity exposure, cementing Amaroq’s position as both the largest licence holder in Greenland and a natural proxy for investment in mining, energy and infrastructure in the region.”

Background to and Reasons for the Fundraising

The Company’s strategy is to leverage its first mover advantage in Greenland, underpinned by the Nalunaq project, to build a full-cycle mining company, delivering long term shareholder value and providing significant upside potential through its land bank of high-impact gold and strategic minerals exploration assets. Amaroq has been listed on the TSX-V since July 2017, AIM since July 2020, First North between November 2022 to September 2023 and the Icelandic Exchange since September 2023.

The Company acquired the Nalunaq gold project in 2015 and has made significant progress since this time in expanding the extent of the resource base through drilling, incorporating a new geological model (the Dolerite Dyke model) to better understand the distribution of the high-grade ore, building a new winterized camp to allow full-year activities, and acquiring and otherwise progressing the infrastructure required to bring Nalunaq into production. First gold pour at Nalunaq was achieved on 27 November 2024 and the Company continues to ramp-up production through 2025 with the intention of reaching nameplate capacity of 300 t/d in Q4 2025 and producing 5 – 20koz of gold during the commissioning year.

Amaroq has also been able to acquire the largest package of mineral rights in southern Greenland with a number of assets that are highly prospective for gold and strategic minerals. The addition of strategic minerals into the portfolio provides significant growth potential, as these metals and minerals, such as copper, nickel, titanium and graphite, are critical for increased electrification as part of the world’s decarbonisation strategy and as independent supply continues to become an increasing focus for nations globally.

Key developments at Nalunaq since AIM admission in 2020 include:

• Production: Amaroq achieved its first gold pour at its cornerstone Nalunaq gold mine in Greenland on 27 November 2024. This signified a major step on Amaroq’s journey towards becoming self-funded and triggering initial cash flow generation. Alongside this announcement, Amaroq also signalled that ramp-up to nameplate plant capacity of 300 t/d is expected to take place in Q4 2025. There has been significant operational progress in 2025, with continued up-time in mine development rates and processing throughput. The Company continues to target a run rate production of 300t/d in Q4 2025, and during this commissioning phase, and as a result of promising operational progress, the Company’s full-year gold production to be in the range of 5-20koz. Although the expected range is wide due to the nature of the trial mining and commissioning year, the Company expects this guidance range to narrow as it progresses through the remainder of the year.
• Partnerships and agreements: Amaroq has entered into an offtake agreement with Auramet International, Inc., (“Auramet”), whereby Auramet will purchase all of the gold produced from Amaroq’s Nalunaq gold mine. In addition to this, Amaroq secured an agreement with Metalor Technologies SA (“Metalor”), which specialises in the evaluation and refining of precious metals at its refinery located in Switzerland. Metalor will process all the doré alloy obtained from Nalunaq.
• Infrastructure: Amaroq has completed a significant proportion of Nalunaq’s required infrastructure, with 98% of process plant detail design and engineering complete, and plant pad earthworks and civil construction both 100% complete, an all-weather exploration camp constructed and commissioned, critical surface mobile equipment purchased and supporting infrastructure either purchased or commercially and technically evaluated. Construction of the processing plant continued in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025, including the installation of the gravity circuit, ball mill, feed conveyor, reclaimer, e-house, gold room shaking table, concentrator, furnace and oven and the thickener. In addition, a new wing was completed at the Nalunaq camp and is now in operation, increasing camp capacity to 120 people.
• Third Party Engineering Study: Halyard Inc. (“Halyard”) was engaged to complete a third-party engineering study on Nalunaq’s development costs including the process plant, mobile equipment, surface infrastructure, permanent camp and associated logistics and engineering. The study concluded that the advanced engineering of the overall project is now to Feasibility Study level based on the Canadian requirements of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Project (“NI 43-101”).
• The Dolerite Dyke Model: Amaroq has worked with third party consultants to develop a robust geological model for Nalunaq that allows for the prediction of the high-grade zones within the mine and thus optimize their exploration drilling. This Dolerite Dyke Model accounts for the high-grade variability from core sampling (the “nugget effect”) in order to better reflect the full resource potential at Nalunaq. This model is one of the tools used by the Company to ensure that geological data is accurately incorporated into the Halyard engineering study in order to move the project towards independent technical studies to support further development.
• Resource Growth through Drilling: Amaroq has drilled approximately 35,000 metres at Nalunaq and, incorporating learnings from the new Dolerite Dyke model, has identified two new high-grade zones, namely Valley Block and Welcome Block, taking the total number of identified high grade zones at the asset to five. The Valley Block is now expected to be one of the key targets for initial development. As a result of drilling in the 2020 and 2021 field seasons, Amaroq announced on 6 September 2022 that it had increased its total Inferred Mineral Resource by 30% contained gold, with a 50% increase in average grade, since the previous estimate reported in 2020. Amaroq has also identified the Mountain Block as a key target for further mine development and optimization. Additionally, in March 2025, Amaroq announced a further update to its Mineral Resource Estimate for Nalunaq, with a significant 51% increase in overall contained gold, to 157.6koz Indicated plus 326.3koz Inferred, demonstrating the robust expansion potential of the Nalunaq deposit. Total maiden Indicated Mineral Resource was 151kt @ 32.4g/t Au for 157.6koz Au, with an additional 348kt @ 29.2g/t Au for 326.3koz Au in the Inferred category, with the growth in Mineral Resource providing potential to increase the estimated mine life from c. 6 years to c. 10 years1. For further information, refer to the technical report entitled "Technical Report on the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE4) of the Nalunaq Gold Mine, Greenland" dated May 19, 2025, with an effective date of May 12, 2025 (the "Technical Report"), prepared for the Company by Bara Consulting (UK) Ltd., which is available for review on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company's issuer profile.
• Debt Financing: In July 2024, Amaroq agreed heads of terms, subject to final documentation, with Landsbankinn for US$35.0 million in Revolving Credit Facilities, which would secure a substantial increase and extension to its current debt facilities, which was successfully closed in December 2024. The two-year senior secured debt financing package of up to US$35.0 million simplifies the structure of the Company’s debt facilities and increases financial flexibility and liquidity.
• Mining Contract Awarded: Amaroq signed a contract mining agreement with Thyssen Schachtbau GmbH.
• Commitment to responsible operations and bringing long-term value to create a Greenland legacy: The Government of Greenland approved the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and Social Impact Assessment (“SIA”) for the Nalunaq project in June 2024. The Company is now working with stakeholders on the Impact Benefit Agreement.
• Formation of strategic services joint venture: In May 2025, the Company announced the establishment of Suliaq A/S (“Suliaq”) which is expected to become a joint venture (the “JV”) with JLE Group Ltd (“JLE”) dedicated to the provision of essential services, supplies and supporting assets to Greenland’s growing mining sector. Subject to negotiation of the final terms of the JV, JLE will invest £4.0 million (circa C$7.46 million), by way of an equity contribution in exchange for a 10% shareholding in Suliaq, with Amaroq holding the remaining 90%. The business’ core areas of focus will be mining services, maritime, logistics, infrastructure, consumables and supporting exploration activities. Assets to be acquired include heliportable drill rigs, a helicopter, utility vehicles, an icebreaker, a barge and tugboat, mining equipment (e.g., underground drills, loaders, trucks, etc.) and non-mining equipment (e.g., light mobile equipment, loaders for process plants, etc.). In addition, the initial investment will cover miscellaneous startup costs, administrative expenses, and working capital.

Following the Company’s progress outlined above, Nalunaq is transitioning from being a cost centre to a cash generator, with first gold pour achieved on 27 November 2024. The Company is expecting to proceed with the construction and installation of Phase 2 at Nalunaq in Q4 2025, with the intention of reaching nameplate capacity of 300 t/d in Q4 2025 before completing engineering studies aimed at upgrading the processing throughput capacity to 450 t/d in due course.

The Company has identified several new investments in its mining equipment and facilities, as it seeks to upgrade and expand its mining fleet as well as improve maritime services. Amaroq continues to develop opportunities in support of its operations in Greenland. Given the working environment and physical access to the mine and its Nalunaq plant, the Company has been pursuing a strategy to de-risk mining activities through the procurement and operation of proprietary servicing and logistics infrastructure, such as drilling rigs, marine equipment and camp facilities. During the remainder of 2025, it is anticipated that other mining and infrastructure operators within the region will look to utilise the provision of Amaroq’s equipment and services, generating additional revenue.

Outside of the Nalunaq development, the Company also plans to accelerate certain advanced exploration activities at its high priority gold targets with the overall objective of evaluating options to integrate them into the Nalunaq processing infrastructure. At Nanoq, Stage 1 scout drilling to confirm mineralisation style and potential grades was completed in 2024. It is the intention of the directors that Stage 2 takes place across 2025 and is expected to include systematic drilling focused on understanding geometry, grade continuity, metallurgy, and resource potential. Following this, the Directors intend to begin Stage 3 over 2026/27, and Nanoq is expected to reach a bulk sampling stage , with sample processing conducted at the Nalunaq process plant. Further exploration opportunities have also been identified in the Company’s Gardaq joint venture. The Company has also identified several areas of increased focus to develop its strategic minerals portfolio including a new copper target development, expanded drilling at Josva & Target North, the Stendalen project development, and further new project generation. In addition, three new licence applications across Greenland have been submitted, targeting copper, gold, and rare/critical earth elements.

The final major initiative identified involves investments in hydropower-based green energy production to lower diesel expenses and emissions. At Nalunaq, it is currently envisioned that the process plant will be powered through hydroelectric power to reduce diesel usage. Nalunaq’s mining operations are envisioned to implement battery run equipment to reduce ventilation and diesel requirements, and its camp and infrastructure are envisioned to be powered through hydroelectric, wind and solar, with a diesel generator as back-up. At other exploration sites across Amaroq’s portfolio, the camp and infrastructure are envisioned to be powered through small scale wind and solar energy to charge batteries and reduce dependency on diesel power generation. In order to de-risk the future life of mine at Nalunaq, whilst at the same time investing in technologies to power the future mines, the Company will be conducting a pre-Front-End Engineering Design (“FEED”) study for the construction of at least 720 kilowatt (“kW”) of hydro power within close proximity of Nalunaq. Once the FEED studies are completed, it is anticipated that construction work could commence, and power generation occur, in 2026.

Strategic Acquisitions

The creation of the West Greenland Hub, focused on the high-grade zinc and nickel opportunity, with the previously operated Black Angel mine and separate Kangerluarsuk exploration licence area, will help Amaroq expand its Greenlandic footprint and diversify its commodity exposure. The Directors believe that the Strategic Acquisitions complement Amaroq’s broader vision of establishing a presence across key mineral belts in Greenland and strengthens its future project pipeline, which the Company believes further positions the business as a proxy for Greenland and its development. The West Greenland Hub will be located within an active and high potential exploration district which has historically had large and mid-tier mining companies conduct exploration for further economic orebodies.

The Black Angel mine was a former producing high grade room and pillar mine with significant in situ infrastructure and >176,000m of core drilling. The mine historically produced at 450Kt per annum for ~11.2Mt @ 12.6% Zn, 4.1% Pb and 29g/t Ag via conventional flotation. Amaroq believes that the project holds significant additional exploration potential and intends to capitalise on this opportunity using a work programme in the remainder of 2025 to assess growth potential which would ultimately allow the Company to update feasibility studies with new resources. The key historical statistics in relation to the Black Angel mine includes:

• Diamond Drilling: 176,861m of core drilling completed;
• Operating Window: 12 m/y mine operations, supplies and shipments during June – Nov;
• Personnel: Peak ~335, reduced to 250;
• Peak OPEX: dkk1,700/t – reduced to 1,200 by Boliden;
• Zn Recovery: ~96% to a Conc Grade ~57.6% Zn;
• Pb Recovery: ~88% to a Conc Grade ~70% Zn;
• Ag Recovery: ~90% held within Pb conc;
• Historical Investment: ~US$60m;

The Kangerluarsuk exploration area is located 12km from Black Angel and within 15km strike length of favourable geology. The area has widespread outcropping high-grade mineralisation explored via mapping and channel sampling by Cominco, Rio Tinto and 80 Mile with grades up to 41.1% Zn.

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the UK Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the UK Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in the FCA Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the “Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the UK Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the UK Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the UK Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the UK Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, in relation to the UK Placing, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Panmure Liberum and Canaccord will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A, respectively, of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the UK Placing Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the UK Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the UK Placing Shares and the Icelandic Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the UK Placing Shares and the Icelandic Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the UK Placing Shares or the Icelandic Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The EU Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the UK Placing or the Icelandic Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, in relation to the UK Placing, notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, Panmure Liberum and Canaccord will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. In relation to the Icelandic Placing, Landsbankinn and Acro will only procure investors who meet the criteria of EEA Qualified Investors.

For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the UK Placing Shares or the Icelandic Placing Shares.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLACEES ONLY REGARDING THE UK PLACING

UK Bookbuild

Following this Announcement, the UK Joint Bookrunners will commence a bookbuild process in respect of the UK Placing (the “UK Bookbuild”) to determine demand for participation in the UK Placing by Placees. The book will open with immediate effect following release of this Announcement. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the UK Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any UK Placing Shares.

The UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company shall be entitled to effect the UK Placing by such alternative method to the UK Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the UK Placing Shares

The UK Joint Bookrunners are acting as placing agents in connection with the UK Placing. The UK Joint Bookrunners have entered into a placing agreement (the “Placing Agreement”) with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, the UK Joint Bookrunners have severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally), as agents for and on behalf of the Company, agreed to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the UK Placing Shares at a price of 85.0 pence per UK Placing Share (the “Placing Price”). The number of UK Placing Shares in the UK Placing will be determined following completion of the UK Bookbuild and set out in a term sheet to be entered into between the UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company (the “Term Sheet”). The final number of UK Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and the number of Icelandic Placing Shares will be decided at the close of the UK Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the UK Bookbuild and allocations will be at the discretion of the UK Joint Bookrunners. Details of the number of UK Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and the number of Icelandic Placing Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the UK Bookbuild.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions in the Placing Agreement, the UK Placing is not underwritten by the UK Joint Bookrunners and in the event that subscribers are not obtained for all or any of the UK Placing Shares (being the “Unplaced Shares”) or in the event of a default to make payment by any subscribers procured by either UK Joint Bookrunner, there will be no obligation on either UK Joint Bookrunner to subscribe for any Unplaced Shares or defaulted UK Placing Shares.

The UK Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the constitutional documents of the Company and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Common Shares in the capital of the Company, including the Subscription Shares and the Icelandic Placing Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Common Shares after the date of issue of the UK Placing Shares.

Alongside the UK Placing, the Company has proposed a placing in Iceland of new depositary receipts of new Common Shares at the Placing Price, being the “Icelandic Placing Shares”. Acro and Landsbankinn are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Icelandic Placing. The Company has entered into a service agreement with Acro and Landsbankinn in relation to the Icelandic Placing (“Icelandic Service Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Fundraising, the Company is seeking, in aggregate, to raise minimum gross proceeds of £30.0 million (equivalent to approximately C$55.5 million or ISK 5.1 billion). Alongside the UK Placing and Icelandic Placing, the Company has also procured certain subscriptions of Subscription Shares at the Placing Price, being the Subscription. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms and Conditions set out in this Appendix apply to the UK Placing, but do not apply to the Icelandic Placing or the Subscription.

As set out under “Conditions of the UK Placing”, the UK Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, the Icelandic Service Agreement and the Subscription Agreements being wholly unconditional. The Icelandic Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, the Icelandic Service Agreement not having been terminated prior to the subscription for the Icelandic Placing Shares and the conditional approval of the TSX-V.

Applications for admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Fundraising Shares, including the UK Placing Shares, to trading on AIM (“Admission”).

It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 30 June 2025 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the UK Joint Bookrunners).

The Company will apply for conditional approval of the TSX-V, with respect to the UK Placing Shares (and all other Fundraising Shares), subject to the satisfaction by the Company of any conditions imposed by the TSX-V. As a prospectus is required to be published for the admission of the Fundraising Shares to the Icelandic Exchange (the “Prospectus”), it is expected that admission of the Fundraising Shares on the TSX-V will become effective on or around 9.30 a.m. (Toronto time) on 30 June 2025 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the UK Joint Bookrunners).

The Company will apply for listing of the Fundraising Shares, including the UK Placing Shares, on the Icelandic Exchange, with admission expected to become effective at 9.30 a.m. (Reykjavik time) on 30 June 2025.

Each UK Joint Bookrunner and its Affiliates are entitled to enter bids as principal in the UK Bookbuild.
2. The UK Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the number of UK Placing Shares to be issued and allotted by all Placees whose bids are successful. The number of UK Placing Shares and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the UK Placing will be agreed between the UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the UK Bookbuild. The number of UK Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service (“Placing Results Announcement”) following the completion of the UK Bookbuild and entry into the Term Sheet by the Company and the UK Joint Bookrunners.
3. To bid in the UK Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of UK Placing Shares which a prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Placing Price. Bids may be scaled down by the UK Joint Bookrunners on the basis referred to in paragraph ‎7 below. The UK Joint Bookrunners reserve the right not to accept bids or to accept bids in part rather than in whole.
4. The UK Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 7.00 a.m. (London time) on 12 June 2025 but may be closed earlier or later, at the absolute discretion of the UK Joint Bookrunners. The UK Joint Bookrunners may, following consultation with the Company, accept bids that are received after the UK Bookbuild has closed.

5. Each Placee’s allocation will be agreed between the UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company and will be confirmed to Placees orally or in writing by the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner, acting as agent of the Company, following the close of the UK Bookbuild, and a contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. Subject to paragraph ‎11 below, the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner’s oral or written confirmation to such Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of such UK Joint Bookrunner and the Company, under which such Placee agrees to subscribe for the number of UK Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay the Placing Price for each such UK Placing Share on the Terms and Conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company’s constitutional documents.
6. The Company will release the Placing Results Announcement following the close of the UK Bookbuild, detailing the aggregate number of the UK Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and Icelandic Placing Shares to be issued.
7. Subject to paragraphs 2 and ‎3 above, the UK Joint Bookrunners may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at their discretion and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine or be directed. The UK Joint Bookrunners may also, notwithstanding paragraphs ‎2 and ‎3 above, following consultation with the Company, (a) allocate UK Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and (b) allocate UK Placing Shares after the UK Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The acceptance of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the UK Joint Bookrunners. If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity, the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner has not received such satisfactory evidence, such UK Joint Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Placee’s UK Placing participation in which event all funds delivered by the Placee to relevant UK Joint Bookrunner will be returned without interest to the account of the drawee bank or CREST account from which they were originally debited.
8. The UK Placing Shares are being offered and sold by the Company (a) outside the United States to non-US persons in offshore transactions as defined in, and pursuant to, Regulation S, or (b) in the United States to a limited number of investors reasonably believed to be QIBs who have delivered to the Company and the UK Joint Bookrunners an investor representation letter in the form provided to it, in transactions not involving any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or pursuant to an exemption from, or transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Placee and the prospective beneficial owner of the UK Placing Shares is, and at the time the UK Placing Shares are subscribed for will be (a) outside the United States, not a US person and subscribing for the UK Placing Shares in an “offshore transaction” as defined in, and pursuant to, Regulation S; or (b) (i) a QIB, and (ii) subscribing for the UK Placing Shares pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements under the Securities Act, acknowledging that the UK Placing Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or with any State or other jurisdiction of the United States. With respect to (b) above, it is subscribing for the UK Placing Shares for its own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which it exercises sole investment discretion and each of which is a QIB, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution or for resale in connection with the distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in the United States, and it has full power to make the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings herein on behalf of each such account.
9. A bid in the UK Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner’s consent will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner (as agent of the Company), to pay it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of UK Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to acquire. Such Placees’ obligations will be owed to the Company and to the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner. The Company shall allot such UK Placing Shares to each Placee following each Placee’s payment to the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner of such amount.
10. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by either UK Joint Bookrunner or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee’s prior written consent.
11. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee’s allocation(s) pursuant to the UK Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all UK Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the UK Placing will be required to be made on the basis explained below under “Registration and Settlement”.

14. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither UK Joint Bookrunner, nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise. In particular, neither UK Joint Bookrunner, nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the UK Joint Bookrunners’ conduct of the UK Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the UK Placing as the UK Joint Bookrunners, their respective Affiliates and the Company may agree or determine.

6. the warranties on the part of the Company in the Placing Agreement being true and accurate in all material respects and not misleading as of the date of the Placing Agreement, the date of the Term Sheet and at all times up to and immediately prior to the date of Admission, as though they had been given and made on such dates by reference to the facts and circumstances then subsisting;

The UK Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion and upon such terms as they think fit, waive fulfilment of all or any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more conditions, save that certain conditions including the condition relating to Admission may not be waived.

Each UK Joint Bookrunner may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

By participating in the UK Bookbuild, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under “Termination of the UK Placing” below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

Termination of the UK Placing

Each UK Joint Bookrunner is entitled to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including, inter alia, if at any time before Admission in the opinion of either UK Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith):

1. any statement contained in the Prospectus or the documents issued by the Company in connection with the UK Placing is incorrect or has become or been discovered to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or misleading or that there has been a material omission therefrom;
2. any of the warranties given by the Company under the Placing Agreement was, when given, in any material respect, untrue or inaccurate or misleading;

4. the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations contained in the UK Placing Agreement;
5. there has occurred a suspension or cancellation by either the AIM, the TSX-V or the Icelandic Exchange of trading in the Company’s securities on any of AIM, the TSX-V or the Icelandic Exchange, other than a suspension of trading in the Company’s securities on the TSX-V to facilitate the UK Bookbuild;
6. the Icelandic Service Agreement having terminated or lapsed;
7. there are any facts, matters or circumstances which give rise to, or are reasonably likely to give rise to (in the opinion of either Bank acting in good faith) a claim under the indemnities given by the Company for the benefit of the UK Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement;
8. the appointment of either UK Joint Bookrunner as agent of the Company under the Placing Agreement is terminated for whatever reason;
9. there shall have occurred any significant new factor, mistake or inaccuracy in the information in this document requiring in the opinion of either UK Joint Bookrunner, acting in good faith, a supplementary press document to be published by or on behalf of the Company; or
10. there has occurred, in the opinion of either UK Joint Bookrunner acting in good faith, a Material Adverse Change whether or not foreseeable at the date of the Placing Agreement.

On the occurrence of any one or more of the above-mentioned circumstances, either UK Joint Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Company (or by orally communicating the same to the Company and the other UK Joint Bookrunner), terminate the Placing Agreement with immediate effect. If circumstances arise that would allow either UK Joint Bookrunner to terminate the Placing Agreement, it may nevertheless determine to allow Admission to proceed. In addition, if both UK Joint Bookrunners do not give notice to terminate the Placing Agreement in circumstances where they are able, the UK Joint Bookrunner who does not give such notice may allow Admission to proceed and will assume the obligations which remain to be performed under the Placing Agreement by the UK Joint Bookrunner who has given notice to terminate.

By participating in the UK Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the “Conditions of the UK Placing” section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after oral confirmation by the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner following the close of the UK Bookbuild.

By participating in the UK Bookbuild, each Placee agrees with the Company and the UK Joint Bookrunners that the exercise by the Company or the UK Joint Bookrunners of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or the UK Joint Bookrunners or for agreement between the Company and the UK Joint Bookrunners (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor the UK Joint Bookrunners need make any reference to, or undertake any consultation with, Placees and that neither they nor any of their respective Affiliates’, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

No prospectus

The UK Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only and will not be offered in such a way as to require any prospectus or other offering document to be published. No prospectus or other offering document has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA in relation to the UK Placing or the UK Placing Shares and Placees’ commitments will be made solely on the basis of publicly available information taken together with the information contained in this Announcement, and any Exchange Information previously published by or on behalf of the Company simultaneously with or prior to the date of this Announcement and subject to any further terms set forth in the contract note sent to individual Placees.

Each Placee, by participating in the UK Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement and the publicly available information released by or on behalf of the Company is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms to the UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company (other than publicly available information) or the UK Joint Bookrunners or their respective Affiliates or any other person and none of the UK Joint Bookrunners or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates or any other person will be liable for any Placee’s decision to participate in the UK Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the UK Placing. No Placee should consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Lock-up

The Company has undertaken to the UK Joint Bookrunners that, between the date of the Placing Agreement and 120 calendar days after the Closing Date, it will not, without the prior written consent of the UK Joint Bookrunners, enter into certain transactions involving or relating to the Common Shares, subject to certain customary carve-outs agreed between the UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company.

By participating in the UK Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the UK Joint Bookrunners of any power to grant consent to waive the undertaking by the Company of a transaction which would otherwise be subject to the lock-up under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the UK Joint Bookrunners and that they need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that they shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise of the power to grant consent.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the UK Placing Shares (ISIN: CA00108V1022) following Admission will take place within the relevant system administered by Euroclear (“CREST”), using the delivery versus payment mechanism, subject to certain exceptions. Subject to certain exceptions, the UK Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the UK Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not practicable in CREST within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee’s jurisdiction.

In order to enable Placees in the United Kingdom to settle their securities through CREST, the Company has appointed Computershare Investor Services plc to act as a depositary (the “Depositary”) to hold the Common Shares and issue dematerialised depositary interests representing the underlying Common Shares (“Depositary Interests”). The Depositary will hold the Common Shares on trust for the relevant shareholders.

The Depositary Interests are independent English securities and held on a register maintained by the Depositary. The Depositary Interests have the same security code and ISIN number as the underlying Common Shares which they represent and do not require a separate admission to AIM. Any references to UK Placing Shares in this Announcement shall include any Depositary Interests issued in relation to the same.

Following the close of the UK Bookbuild for the UK Placing, each Placee allocated UK Placing Shares in the UK Placing will be sent a contract note stating the number of UK Placing Shares to be allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner and settlement instructions. It is expected that such contract note will be despatched on or around 12 June 2025 and that this will also be the trade date.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner. The Company will deliver the UK Placing Shares to a CREST account or account operated by each UK Joint Bookrunner as agent for the Company and the relevant Bank will enter its delivery instruction into the CREST system. Each UK Joint Bookrunner will hold any UK Placing Shares delivered to this account as nominee for the Placees. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant UK Placing Shares to that Placee against payment. It is expected that settlement will be on 30 June 2025 on a T+12 basis in accordance with the instructions given to the UK Joint Bookrunners.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above SONIA as determined by the UK Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the UK Joint Bookrunners (or either of them) may sell any or all of their UK Placing Shares on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Company’s own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the Placing Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its UK Placing Shares on its behalf.

If UK Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the Relevant Person within that organisation. Insofar as UK Placing Shares are registered in a Placee’s name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such UK Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the UK Placing.

Neither UK Joint Bookrunner nor the Company are liable to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or any other similar dues or taxes (“transfer taxes”) that arise: (a) if there are any such arrangements (or if any such arrangements arise subsequent to the acquisition by Placees of UK Placing Shares); or (b) on a sale of UK Placing Shares; or (c) for transfer taxes arising otherwise than under the laws of the United Kingdom. Each Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the UK Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of UK Placing Shares has given rise to such transfer taxes undertakes to pay such transfer taxes forthwith, and agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold each UK Joint Bookrunner and/or the Company and their respective Affiliates harmless from any such transfer taxes, and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to such transfer taxes. Each Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such transfer tax liability arises.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and agrees that either UK Joint Bookrunner or any of its Affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the UK Placing Shares. Each Placee acknowledges and is aware that each UK Joint Bookrunner is receiving a fee in connection with its role in respect of the UK Placing as detailed in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with either UK Joint Bookrunner, any money held in an account with either UK Joint Bookrunner on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant UK Joint Bookrunner’s money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by such UK Joint Bookrunner in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of such UK Joint Bookrunner.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment by the UK Joint Bookrunners (in their absolute discretion). The UK Joint Bookrunners shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

Time shall be of the essence as regards obligations pursuant to this Announcement.

No statement in this Announcement is intended to be a profit forecast or estimate, and no statement in this Announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of the Company for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of the Company.

The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon disposal of the shares. Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

The rights and remedies of each UK Joint Bookrunner and the Company under these Terms and Conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose in writing or orally to the UK Joint Bookrunners:

(a)        if he or she is an individual, his or her nationality; or

(b)      if he or she is a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ICELANDIC SUBSCRIBERS ONLY REGARDING THE ICELANDIC PLACING

Icelandic Bookbuild

Following this Announcement, the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners will commence the Icelandic Bookbuild to determine demand for participation in the Icelandic Placing by Icelandic Subscribers. The book will open with immediate effect following release of this Announcement. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Icelandic Placing.

The Icelandic Joint Bookrunners and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Icelandic Placing by such alternative method to the Icelandic Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Details of the Icelandic Placing Shares

The Icelandic Joint Bookrunners are acting as placing agents in connection with the Icelandic Placing. The Icelandic Joint Bookrunners have entered into a Icelandic Service Agreement with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Icelandic Service Agreement, the Icelandic Banks have severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally), as agents for and on behalf of the Company, agreed to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure Icelandic Subscribers for the Icelandic Placing Shares at a price of ISK 144 per Icelandic Placing Share (the “Icelandic Placing Price”), being equivalent to the UK Placing Price, using the mid-rate published by the Central Bank of Iceland on the date of this Announcement. The final number of UK Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and Icelandic Placing Shares will be decided at the close of the Icelandic Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the Icelandic Bookbuild will be at the discretion of the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners and allocations will be at the discretion of the Company. Details of the number of UK Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and the Icelandic Placing Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Icelandic Bookbuild.

The Icelandic Placing is not underwritten by the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners and in the event that subscribers are not obtained for all or any of the Icelandic Placing Shares or in the event of a default to make payment by any Icelandic Subscriber, there will be no obligation on either Icelandic Joint Bookrunner to subscribe for any unsold or unpaid Icelandic Placing Shares.

The Icelandic Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the constitutional documents of the Company and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Common Shares in the capital of the Company, including the Subscription Shares and the UK Placing Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Common Shares after the date of issue of the Icelandic Placing Shares.

Alongside the Icelandic Placing, the Company has proposed a placing in the UK and certain other jurisdictions of the UK Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The UK Joint Bookrunners are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the UK Placing.

Pursuant to the Fundraising, the Company is seeking, in aggregate, to raise minimum gross proceeds of ISK5.1 billion (equivalent to approximately C$55.5 million or £30.0 million). Alongside the UK Placing and Icelandic Placing, the Company has also procured certain subscriptions of Subscription Shares at the Placing Price, being the Subscription. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms and Conditions set out in this Appendix apply to the Icelandic Placing, but do not apply to the UK Placing or the Subscription.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Icelandic Placing

1. The Icelandic Joint Bookrunners are acting as joint bookrunners and joint brokers in connection with the Icelandic Placing. Participation in the Icelandic Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners to participate.
2. The Icelandic Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the number of Icelandic Placing Shares to be issued and allotted to all Icelandic Subscribers whose bids are successful. The number of Icelandic Placing Shares and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Icelandic Placing will be determined by the Company following completion of the Icelandic Bookbuild. The number of Icelandic Placing Shares will be announced in the Placing Results Announcement following the completion of the Icelandic Bookbuild.
3. To bid in the Icelandic Bookbuild, Icelandic Subscribers should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at the relevant Icelandic Joint Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of Icelandic Placing Shares which a prospective Icelandic Subscriber wishes to subscribe for at the Icelandic Placing Price. The Icelandic Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right not to accept bids or to accept bids in part rather than in whole, in their absolute discretion.
4. The Icelandic Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 6.00 a.m. (Icelandic time) on 12 June 2025 but may be closed earlier or later, at the absolute discretion of the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners. The Icelandic Joint Bookrunners may, following consultation with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Icelandic Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Icelandic Placing, in its discretion.
5. Each Icelandic Subscriber’s allocation will be determined by the Company and will be confirmed to Icelandic Subscribers in writing by the relevant Icelandic Joint Bookrunner, acting as an agent of the Company, following the close of the Icelandic Bookbuild. The relevant Icelandic Joint Bookrunner’s oral or written confirmation to such Icelandic Subscriber will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person in favour of the Company, under which such Icelandic Subscriber agrees to subscribe for the number of Icelandic Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay to the Company, as instructed in the confirmation, in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Icelandic Placing Price and the number of Icelandic Placing Shares that such Icelandic Subscriber has been allocated.
6. The Company will release the Placing Results Announcement following the close of the Icelandic Bookbuild, detailing the aggregate number of the UK Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and Icelandic Placing Shares to be issued.
7. The Icelandic Placing Shares are being offered and sold by the Company outside the United States to non-US persons in offshore transactions as defined in, and pursuant to, Regulation S. The Icelandic Subscriber and the prospective beneficial owner of the Icelandic Placing Shares is, and at the time the Icelandic Placing Shares are subscribed for will be outside the United States, not a US person and subscribing for the Icelandic Placing Shares in an “offshore transaction” as defined in, and pursuant to, Regulation S, acknowledging that the Icelandic Placing Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or with any State or other jurisdiction of the United States.

Conditions of the Icelandic Placing

The subscription of each Icelandic Subscriber to the Icelandic Placing Shares and their respective payment of the Icelandic Placing Price in accordance with their allocation is conditional upon:

1. the Placing Results Announcement having been published by the Company; and
2. the Company having accepted the Icelandic Subscriber’s subscription by procuring the delivery of a confirmation of their allocation in accordance with the terms of this Appendix.

The issuance of the Icelandic Placing Shares by the Company and the delivery of depositary receipts representing such Placing Shares is conditional upon:

1. neither UK Joint Bookrunner having terminated the Placing Agreement before Admission in accordance with its terms;
2. the TSX-V providing conditional approval for the listing of all the Fundraising Shares on the TSX-V, subject to the Company fulfilling the requirements of the TSX-V;
3. the Prospectus being approved by the FSA not later than 4.00 p.m. GMT on 27 June 2025 and having been filed, published and made available in the manner specified by the EU Prospectus Regulation;
4. the Icelandic Service Agreement not having lapsed or been terminated and having become unconditional in all respects prior to Admission; and
5. in the reasonable opinion of the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners, there having been since the date of the Icelandic Service Agreement, no Material Adverse Change, prior to Admission.

If any of the conditions set out above are not fulfilled or waived by the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners (in their sole and absolute discretion) prior to the relevant deadline, which shall in no event be later than 8.00 a.m. (London time) on the Long Stop Date, the Icelandic Placing will not proceed and each Icelandic Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Icelandic Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Icelandic Subscriber agrees that no claim can be made by the Icelandic Subscriber against any of the Company or either Icelandic Joint Bookrunner in respect thereof.

Registration and settlement

After issuance of the Icelandic Placing Shares, a corresponding amount of depositary receipts will be delivered to the Icelandic Subscribers by the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners on or around the business day falling two business days from the date on which the Icelandic Joint Bookrunners receive the depositary receipts from Arion Bank hf., who is acting as a depositary for the Company, holding Common Shares and issuing authorised depositary receipts representing the underlying Common Shares. The Fundraising Shares will be admitted to trading on the Icelandic Exchange.

Following the close of the Icelandic Bookbuild, each Icelandic Subscriber allocated Icelandic Placing Shares will be sent a confirmation stating the number of Icelandic Placing Shares to be allocated to it at the Icelandic Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Icelandic Subscriber to the Company and settlement instructions.

Each Icelandic Subscriber agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with the certificated settlement instructions provided in their allocation confirmation.

If payment is not received on its final due date, as indicated in the confirmation notice, the Company reserves the right to collect the amount due with penalty interest in accordance with Act No 38/2001 on Interest and Indexation.

The Company further reserves the right to unilaterally annul and cancel unpaid subscriptions on their final due date and sell any unpaid Icelandic Placing Shares at any price and by any means, to other investors or third parties in lieu of collecting the debt owed without limiting the liability of the Icelandic Subscriber towards the Company. Should the Company cancel subscriptions and sell the unpaid Icelandic Placing Shares to a third party at a price which is lower than the amount owed (including interest), the defaulting Icelandic Subscriber is liable for any damage this may cause the Company, including but not limited to, damages relating to the following:

1. the difference between the amount owed and the price paid by the third party for the unpaid Icelandic Placing Shares; and
2. any costs incurred by the Company relating to the cancellation of the unpaid subscription and the subsequent third-party sale, including but not limited to FX loss and hours worked.
