Highlights from the Quarter:

• On August 26, 2025, the Company announced that it completed an initial step towards this objective by closing a non-brokered private placement for proceeds of $1.5M to be used for working capital purposes and payment of short-term debt. The Common Shares issued under the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period expiring December 26, 2025. The Company has decided to close this Private Placement currently to ensure that it has sufficient working capital for the duration of the discussions.

• On September 4, 2025, the Company announced the award of a contract worth approximately CA$ 7.2M by a state-owned Mobile Network Operator (MNO) for a major network expansion project in a rural region of West Africa. The agreement is structured as a CAPEX contract valued at approximately CA$ 7.2M and provides for the deployment of up to 200 sites to expand mobile coverage to underserved communities.

• On September 12, 2025, the Company announced it has received authorization from the approval committee for its infrastructure license to operate telecom sites in the Democratic Republic of The Congo ("DRC"). The authorization was confirmed through the issuance of the license fee invoice, which has now been settled.

• On September 29, 2025, the Company announced that it has received approval for the third drawdown of US$ 1M from the Facility for Energy Inclusion ("FEI"), a fund managed by Cygnum Capital.
