NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES

Rektron Group Inc. ("Rektron" or the "Company") (CSE:REK.U)(FRA:F75) a global commodities trading house, is pleased to announce that it has appointed its director and CEO Atanas Kolarov and its independent director Trevor Turner to the board of directors of its wholly-owned subsidiary DL Hudson Limited, effective December 18, 2024.

Access to Annual General Meeting Materials

On November 15, 2024, all postal service by Canada Post was suspended as a result of labour action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (the "Postal Strike"). On December 16, 2024, Canada Post announced the resumption of its operations and receipt and pick up of new parcels and mail to start on December 19, 2024. As a result, Canada Post has warned of delays to the backlog of items already in the system. Given the sizable backlog and potential operational challenges, it may take some time for Canada Post to regain its usual rhythm. The Company's upcoming annual general meeting (the "Meeting") will be held virtually on Thursday, January 9, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto Time).

The information circular and the form of proxy for the Meeting and all other proxy-related materials (collectively, the "Meeting Materials"), can be found on the Company's website (at www.rektrongroup.com) or under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (at www.sedarplus.ca). The shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 3, 2024 (the "Shareholders"), are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders of the Company are encouraged to access electronic versions of the Meeting Materials and all other proxy-related materials online through the Company's website and SEDAR+, and to vote in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Circular.

Shareholders will still be able to vote their shares either directly by proxy (for registered Shareholders) or indirectly through their intermediary (for unregistered Shareholders who hold their shares through brokerage firms or other intermediaries). Registered Shareholders should complete all signed proxy forms as directed on the form of proxy no later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) on January 7, 2025. Beneficial owners can obtain a copy of the voting instructions form from their intermediary. If you are a registered Shareholder and do not receive the Meeting Materials by mail ahead of the voting deadline, please contact Odyssey Trust Company at 1-888-290-1175 or visit How Can We Help?

Copies of the Company's financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ and on its website.
