Star Metro - Organto Foods Announces Intention to Prepay Outstanding Debentures

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures, the Company may prepay the principal sum owing under the Convertible Debentures in whole or in part, together with any unpaid interest thereon calculated to the date of prepayment (the "Prepayment Date") without penalty by providing written notice (the "Prepayment Notice") to the holders of the Convertible Debentures (the "Holders") 30 days prior to the Prepayment Date, during which time the Holders may exercise their conversion rights in the manner set out in the certificates representing the Convertible Debentures.

The Company is delivering the Prepayment Notice to the Holders advising them that Friday, November 28, 2025, has been set as the Prepayment Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures, Holders have the right to convert their Convertible Debentures (the "Conversion Right") into common shares of the Company ("Shares") at a conversion price of $0.60 per Share.

In the event that no Holders exercise their Conversion Right prior to the Prepayment Date, the Company expects that the aggregate cash payment to be made to Holders in respect of all outstanding Convertible Debentures will be $2,549,679, comprised of the principal sum totaling $2,340,850 and unpaid interest to the Prepayment date of totaling $206,829.
