Pursuant to the NCIB, FTG is authorized to purchase through the facilities of the TSX, from time to time over the next 12 months, if considered advisable, up to an aggregate of 1,193,740 common shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”), being approximately 5% of its Common Shares outstanding as of August 14, 2024.

Purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB will be made in accordance with TSX by-laws, rules and policies through the facilities of the TSX and/or through alternative Canadian trading systems. All Common Shares purchased by FTG will be cancelled. The price paid for any repurchased Common Shares will be the market price of such Common Shares at the time of acquisition. The average daily trading volume of the Common Shares of the Corporation from the start of trading on February 1, 2024 through July 31, 2024 was 22,855 Common Shares and, accordingly, daily purchases will be limited to 5,713 Common Shares other than block purchase exemptions.

FTG completed the purchase for cancellation through the facilities of the TSX, and/or through alternative trading systems, of 36,200 Common Shares at a weighted average price of $3.34 per Common Share. FTG’s previous normal course issuer bid expired on June 4, 2024.
To FTG’s knowledge, none of the directors, officers or other insiders of FTG or any associate of any such persons, or any associate or affiliate of FTG currently intends to sell Common Shares to FTG during the course of the NCIB.
