EXCO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

The Toronto Stock Exchange has approved Exco Technologies Ltd.'s normal course issuer bid. Under the NCIB, Exco has the right to purchase for cancellation, from Feb. 20, 2026, to Feb. 19, 2027, a maximum of 1,706,558 common shares, representing 10 per cent of the 17,065,583 shares forming Exco's public float as at Feb. 8, 2026. As of Feb. 8, 2026, Exco had 37,891,331 common shares issued and outstanding.

Any shares purchased by Exco under the NCIB will be effected through the facilities of TSX, as well as on alternative Canadian trading systems, at prevailing market rates, and any common shares purchased by the company will be cancelled. The actual number of shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Exco. Any purchases made by Exco pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX.

During the most recently completed six months, the average daily trading volume for the common shares of Exco on the TSX was 19,726 shares. Consequently, under the policies of the TSX, Exco will have the right to repurchase under its NCIB, during any one trading day, a maximum of 4,931 shares, representing 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume. In addition, Exco will be allowed to make, once per calendar week, a block purchase (as such term is defined in the TSX company manual) of shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of Exco, in accordance with the TSX policies. Exco will finance the purchases through available cash and/or bank facilities. Pursuant to a previous notice of intention to conduct a normal course issuer bid, under which the company sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 1,770,513 common shares for the period of Feb. 20, 2025, to Feb. 19, 2026, the company has purchased 572,656 common shares on the open market as of Feb. 8, 2026, at a weighted-average purchase price of $6.62 per common share.

Exco's board of directors believes that the underlying value of the company may not be reflected in the market price of its common shares from time to time and that, at appropriate times, repurchasing its shares through the NCIB may represent a good use of Exco's financial resources, as such action can protect and enhance shareholder value when opportunities or volatility arise. Thus, the board has determined that the NCIB is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.

Exco is a global supplier of innovative technologies servicing the die-cast, extrusion and automotive industries. Through its 21 strategic locations in nine countries, it employs approximately 4,500 people and services a diverse and broad customer base.
