(via TheNewswire)

May 15, 2026 – TheNewswire - VANCOUVER, BC, Wildpack Beverage Inc. (TSXV: CANS) ( “ Wildpack ” or the “ Company ” ) a leading middle market co-packer of canned beverages, provides an update on the status of its Management Cease Trade Order (" MCTO ") granted by the British Columbia Securities Commission under National Policy 12-203  Management  Cease Trade Orders .

The MCTO was issued due to the Company's inability to file its audited annual financial statements, related MD&A, and CEO and CFO certifications for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the " Required Filings ") by the April 30, 2026, deadline resulting in a default under Part 4 of National Instrument 51-102  Continuous Disclosure Obligations  (" Default ").

The delay in filing the Required Filings is due to short-term cash constrains impacting the Company. The Company continues to actively work on addressing the cash constrains so that it can complete the Required Filings. The Company currently does not have cash on hand or financing in place that would alleviate the short-term cash constrains.

The Company remains committed to completing the filing as soon as practicable. The Company wishes to clarify that this delay is purely administrative in nature, does not arise from any disagreement with its auditors. The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy the default by filing the Required Filings on or before June 30, 2026. The MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are completed.

In accordance with NP 12‑203, the Company will provide bi‑weekly status updates by way of news releases for so long as the Required Filings remain outstanding. The Company does not anticipate any additional specified defaults under NP 12‑203.
