The Offering is being made on a commercially reasonable efforts basis through a syndicate of agents led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and including Gravitas Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents").

Permex has granted the Agents an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Agents for a period of 60 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional number of Offered Shares as is equal to 15% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares issued pursuant to the Offering at the Offering price of $0.50 per share.

The CSE has conditionally approved the listing of the Offered Shares and the Company's other common shares (the "Common Shares"), subject to fulfilling customary CSE requirements.

There can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed. An investment in the Offered Shares is subject to a number of risks.
