DIRTT ANNOUNCES ISSUER BID AND TENDER OFFER TO PURCHASE 6.00% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES DUE JANUARY 2026 AND 6.25% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES DUE DECEMBER 2026

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.'s board of directors has approved a substantial issuer bid and tender offer, under which the company will offer to repurchase for cancellation (i) up to $6-million principal amount of its issued and outstanding 6.00 per cent convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due Jan. 31, 2026 (or such larger principal amount as the company, in its sole discretion, may determine it is willing to take up and pay for, subject to applicable law), at a purchase price of $720 per $1,000 principal amount of January debentures; and (ii) up to $9-million principal amount of its issued and outstanding 6.25 per cent convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due Dec. 31, 2026 (or such larger principal amount as the company, in its sole discretion, may determine it is willing to take up and pay for, subject to applicable law), at a purchase price of $600 per $1,000 principal amount of December debentures. Holders of Debentures who validly tender and do not withdraw their Debentures will receive the applicable purchase price, plus a cash payment for all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date on which such Debentures are taken up by the Company. The applicable purchase price will be denominated in Canadian dollars and payments of amounts owed to holders of deposited Debentures, including for interest, will be made in Canadian dollars.

The Issuer Bid will remain open for acceptance until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on March 22, 2024, unless withdrawn or extended by the Company. If the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Issuer Bid exceeds C$6,000,000 for the January Debentures or C$9,000,000 for the December Debentures, the Company will purchase a pro-rated portion of the January Debentures or the December Debentures so tendered, as applicable (with adjustments to maintain C$1,000 minimum denominations of Debentures). DIRTT will return all Debentures not purchased under the Issuer Bid, including Debentures not purchased because of pro-ration. Debentures taken up and paid for by the Company will be immediately cancelled.

The Company intends to fund the Issuer Bid with a portion of the proceeds from the Company's previously completed rights offering to its common shareholders, which closed in January 2024 for aggregate gross proceeds of C$30,000,000.

Further details of the Issuer Bid, including instructions for tendering Debentures to the Issuer Bid, will be included in the formal offer to purchase, issuer bid circular, letter of transmittal and other related documents (collectively, the "Issuer Bid Documents"). The Issuer Bid Documents will be filed with the applicable securities regulators and made available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov , as applicable, on February 15, 2024. The Issuer Bid Documents are expected to be mailed to holders of Debentures ("Debentureholders") in Canada and the U.S. on or around February 16, 2024.

In accordance with applicable securities laws, an independent special committee of the board of directors of the Company has retained KPMG LLP as an independent valuator in connection with the Issuer Bid. A copy of the formal valuation will be included with the Issuer Bid Documents. The formal valuation will not be, and should not be construed to be, a recommendation to a Debentureholder, or to anyone else, to take any course of action. Debentureholders of the Company are urged to carefully read the Issuer Bid Documents, once available, and to consult with their own financial, tax and legal advisors prior to making any decision with respect to the Issuer Bid.

The Issuer Bid is not expected to be conditional upon any minimum number of Debentures being tendered. It is, however, subject to other customary conditions, as detailed in the Issuer Bid Documents.

The Company reserves the right to modify any terms of the Issuer Bid, or to extend or determine not to proceed with the Issuer Bid, at any time. The January Debentures and the December Debentures are listed on the TSX under the symbols DRT.DB and DRT.DB.A, respectively. On February 12, 2024, the last full trading day the January Debentures traded prior to the announcement by the Company of the approval of the Issuer Bid by its directors, the closing price on the TSX was C$62 per C$100 principal amount of January Debentures (which represents C$620 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures). On February 8, 2024, the last full trading day the December Debentures traded prior to the announcement by the Company of the approval of the Issuer Bid by its directors, the closing price on the TSX was C$55 per C$100 principal amount of December Debentures (which represents C$550 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures). As of February 14, 2024, C$40,250,000 principal amount of January Debentures and C$35,000,000 principal amount of December Debentures were issued and outstanding.
