METATEK-GROUP LTD. COMPLETES INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON SHARES FOR TOTAL GROSS PROCEEDS TO METATEK OF C$35.0 MILLION

Metatek-Group Ltd. has closed its initial public offering of common shares at a price of $5 per share. The offering consisted of a treasury offering of seven million common shares, for total gross proceeds to the company of approximately $35.0-million, and a secondary offering of one million common shares at the offering price, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0-million.

"This IPO comes at a timely moment, as the growing global focus on energy security, critical minerals and supply chain resilience is driving increased demand for our solutions. With this capital, we are well positioned to accelerate our next phase of growth as we expand our global airborne geoscience capabilities and advance a strong pipeline of developments," said Dr. Mark Davies, chief executive officer of Metatek.

The offering was made through a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., as sole bookrunner, and including CIBC Capital Markets, Bank of Nova Scotia, ATB Capital Markets, Roth Canada Inc., Beacon Securities Ltd. and Research Capital Corp.

PillarFour Capital Fund II LP, PillarFour Capital Parallel Fund II LP and certain of their limited partners have granted the underwriters an overallotment option, exercisable in whole or in part from time to time for a period of 30 days following the closing of the offering, to purchase up to an additional 1.2 million common shares at the offering price for additional gross proceeds of up to $6.0-million to the overallotment selling shareholders, if the overallotment option is exercised in full. The company will not receive any proceeds if the overallotment option is exercised.

The company expects to use the full amount of the net proceeds received from the treasury offering to repay all amounts outstanding under its credit facility, for near-term milestone payments toward the purchase of two new eFTG systems, toward refurbishment costs of an iFTG system, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The common shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on March 25, 2026, under the symbol MTEK.

The offering was completed pursuant to the company's supplemented PREP prospectus dated March 18, 2026, filed with the securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, a copy of which is available under the company's profile on SEDAR+.
