This annual report on Form 40-F, including the exhibits incorporated by reference into this Annual Report, includes certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" (collectively referred to as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. These statements are based on the Registrant's current expectations, estimates and assumptions in light of its experience and perception of historical trends. All statements other than statements of historical fact may constitute forward-looking statements. Often, forward-looking statements are identified by words such as "believe," "may," "plan," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "project," "potential," "ongoing," "could," "would," "target" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these terms or similar expressions. These statements reflect management's beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information available to management as of the respective dates of this Annual Report and the document incorporated by reference herein, including reasonable assumptions, estimates, internal and external analysis and opinions of management considering its experience, perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments as well as other factors that management believed to be relevant as at the date such statements were made. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those described in the Registrant's Annual Information Form for the year ended May 31, 2026, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and those described in the Registrant's management discussion and analysis for the year ended May 31, 2026, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.

The Registrant and management caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Although the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements were reasonable as of the time such forward-looking statements were made, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Registrant and management assume no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances except as required by applicable securities laws.

The Registrant is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this Annual Report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Registrant prepares its audited annual financial statements, which are filed with this Annual Report and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and the audit is subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards. Such financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
