BLACK DIAMOND GROUP LIMITED ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

Black Diamond Group Ltd. has obtained approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX) to renew its normal course issuer bid (the NCIB) with respect to its common shares. The NCIB will commence on May 12, 2026, and will terminate on the earlier of May 11, 2027, the date on which the company has purchased the maximum number of common shares permitted under the NCIB or the date on which the NCIB is terminated.

Under the NCIB, the company may, over a 12-month period commencing on May 12, 2026, purchase in the normal course through the facilities of the TSX or Canadian alternative trading systems, if eligible, up to 5,261,698 common shares, such amount representing 10 per cent of the public float of the common shares and approximately 7.6 per cent of the 69,353,230 issued and outstanding common shares as at April 30, 2026. Furthermore, subject to certain exemptions for block purchases, the maximum number of common shares that the company may acquire on any one trading day is 34,568 common shares, such amount representing 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume of the common shares of 138,272 for the six calendar months prior to the start of the NCIB. All common shares purchased by the company under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Management of Black Diamond believes that, from time to time, the market price of the common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the common shares and that at such time the purchase of the common shares represents attractive investment value and would be in the best interests of Black Diamond. The purchase of common shares by Black Diamond will increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders.

During the prior NCIB of the company, which will terminate on May 11, 2026, the company obtained approval to purchase 4,513,658 common shares, and as of April 30, 2026, purchased 33,050 common shares at a weighted average price of approximately $11.96 per common share through the facilities of the TSX and alternative trading systems.

In connection with the NCIB, the company has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the ASPP) with its designated broker to allow for common share repurchases to be made at times when Black Diamond would not otherwise be able to, due either to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. The ASPP is dated May 8, 2026, and will terminate at the earliest date on which: a) the maximum annual purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; b) the NCIB expires; or c) the company or its broker terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms.

Under the ASPP, prior to entering into a blackout period, Black Diamond may, but is not required to, instruct its broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be made by the broker in its sole discretion within parameters set by Black Diamond, in compliance with TSX rules, applicable securities laws and the ASPP's terms. Common shares repurchased through the ASPP will count toward the total number of common shares purchased under the NCIB. Outside of predetermined blackout periods, common shares may be purchased under the NCIB based on the company's discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable securities laws.
