The Company anticipates that its common stock will begin trading on the NYSE American under the symbol, “BCHT,” at the opening of trading on or about February 12, 2026, subject to final authorization by the NYSE American of the Company’s listing application and continued compliance with the exchange rules.

In connection with the anticipated NYSE American listing, the Company is also conducting a concurrent offering of its common stock, subject to market conditions and regulatory approval (the "Offering"). The approval of the listing of the common stock on the NYSE American is a condition to the completion of the Offering.

Upon effectiveness of the listing on the NYSE American, trading of the common stock on the OTCQB will terminate. Stockholders of the Company do not need to take any action prior to the listing of the Company’s shares on the NYSE American. The Company will remain listed on the TSX.
