Star Metro - Route1 Inc. Confirms Availability of Meeting Materials for Annual General and Special Meeting

The Company confirms the availability of its Meeting materials and wishes to advise shareholders of alternative ways to vote their shares for the Meeting, due to current delays of postal services in Canada as a result of labour action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers that commenced on September 25, 2025 (the "Postal Delays").

The Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

1. to receive the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, together with the auditor's report thereon;

2. to fix the number of directors of the Company for the ensuing year at four (4);

3. to elect directors of the Company for the ensuing year;

4. to re-appoint MNP LLP as the auditors of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration;

5. to re-approve the long-term incentive plan of the Company;

6. to consider, and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution authorizing a change of name of the Company to a name determined by the board of directors, subject to all required regulatory approval; and

7. to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Electronic copies of the proxy-related materials required under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, the Notice of Meeting, the Management Information Circular, form of proxy and all other proxy-related materials ("Meeting Materials") have been filed and are available under Route1's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and are posted on www.envisionreports.com/PSEQ2025.

Shareholders are encouraged to access the Meeting Materials through the aforementioned sites, or may contact the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare") toll free at 1-866-962-0498 or 514-982-8716 from outside North America to request electronic or paper copies of the Meeting Materials, obtain their voting control number, or receive assistance with voting. Requests for paper copies are due by November 24, 2025. While the Company will mail the applicable Meeting Materials in the ordinary course, delivery prior to the Meeting cannot be assured due to the Postal Delays.

Shareholders of record as of October 22, 2025, are not required to be present at the Meeting but may vote in advance of the Meeting. Proxies must be received by Computershare no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 2, 2025. To ensure votes are counted, online or telephone voting is recommended. Registered shareholders may vote by completing and returning their proxy form, or by following the online or telephone instructions provided. Beneficial holders should follow the voting instructions provided by their broker or depositary company, as each intermediary has its own procedures for proxy return.

Copies of the Company's audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Financial Statements and MD&A") are available on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Shareholders may also request printed copies from the Company at 8 King Street East, Suite 600, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1B5. Mailing will be accommodated, but, consistent with the Postal Delays, there can be no assurance that the Financial Statements and MD&A will be received by shareholders prior to the Meeting.

The Company has complied with the filing requirements for proxy-related materials under Section 9.3 of National Instrument 51‑102 -Continuous Disclosure Requirements. Shareholders are encouraged to access materials online and vote electronically or by telephone to avoid mailing delays.
