The Sweetener Warrants will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from their date of issuance. The use of proceeds for any Sweetener Warrant exercised will be used to support the feasibility study and for general working capital.

Holders of Warrants who elect to exercise their existing Warrants at the reduced price and to participate in the Warrant Incentive Program will be required to contact the Company as soon as possible by email at gjang@graphiteoneinc.com to receive their amended and restated Warrant certificate.

Prior to 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on March 21, 2024, the holder of such Warrant will be required to deliver to the Company the following:

• a duly completed and executed exercise form, in the form which accompanies the amended and restated Warrant certificate;
• the original certificate representing the Warrants being exercised; and
• the applicable aggregate exercise price (Cdn$1.00 per Warrant) payable to the Company by way of certified cheque, money order, bank draft, or wire transfer in lawful money of Canada.

The Warrant Incentive Program is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the final approval of the TSXV.
