PROPEL ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted its notice of intention to proceed with a normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

The company's board of directors believes that the market price of the common shares may not, from time to time, fully reflect their long-term value. Accordingly, the NCIB is in the best interests of Propel and its shareholders and an attractive and appropriate use of available liquidity.

Pursuant to the notice, the company may purchase up to 2,904,140 of its common shares, representing approximately 10 per cent of the public float of 29,041,401 shares as at Nov. 3, 2026, during the 12-month period commencing Nov. 17, 2026, and ending Nov. 16, 2027. As at Nov. 3, 2026, there were 39,421,867 shares issued and outstanding. Under the NCIB, other than purchases made under block purchase exemptions, Propel may purchase up to 43,722 shares on the TSX during any trading day, which represents approximately 25 per cent of 174,889, which represents the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSX's acceptance of the notice of the NCIB. Any shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The company's prior normal course issuer bid commenced on Nov. 14, 2025, and expired on Nov. 13, 2026, under which the company was authorized to purchase for cancellation up to 2,703,439 shares. The company purchased 12,000 shares under the company's prior normal course issuer bid through open market purchases on the TSX at a volume-weighted average price of $18.48 per share.

Although the company intends to purchase shares under its NCIB, there can be no assurances that any such purchases will be completed. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be made by Propel subject to favourable market conditions at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems. Purchases under the NCIB may be made by means of open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or such other means as a securities regulatory authority may permit.
