Avante also announces that due to the ongoing Canadian postal suspension (the “Suspension”), the Corporation has fulfilled all conditions to rely on, and will be relying on, CSA Coordinated Blanket Order 51-932 issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators and Coordinated Blanket Order 51-932 issued by the Ontario Securities Commission (collectively, the “Orders”) for exemption from the requirements to mail its proxy-related materials in connection with the Meeting, including the notice of meeting and management information circular dated September 15, 2025, as well as the form of proxy and voting instruction form in connection with the Meeting (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”), to shareholders.

Shareholders may also request a copy of the Meeting Materials to be delivered by email by emailing Avante’s investor relations team at pardeep@angadcapital.com or calling 604-572-6392. In the event that Canada Post resumes accepting commercial volumes at least 15 days before the Meeting date, the Corporation will send the Meeting Materials by regular mail; however, there can be no assurance that the Meeting Materials will be received by shareholders prior to the Meeting. In accordance with the Orders, Avante is waiving the proxy cut-off time stated in the Meeting Materials, and will accept votes submitted by proxy until 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on Monday, October 20, 2025.
