OPTEGRA PROVIDES UPDATE ON SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Vancouver, British Columbia, December 8, 2025 - Optegra Ventures Inc. (the "Company" or "Optegra") (TSXV: OPTG) is pleased to provide an update on the previously announced 4:1 consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its common shares ("Common Shares").

The Company has determined to implement the Consolidation effective on December 11, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and exchange approvals. No fractional post-Consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidated Shares") will be issued. Any fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Consolidation will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Upon completion of the Consolidation, the Consolidated Shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the stock symbol "OPTG" under a new CUSIP: 68387G203 and new ISIN: CA68387G2036. The Consolidated Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange at market open on or about December 11, 2025. As a result of the Consolidation, the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, stock options, and other convertible securities will be reduced on a 4:1 basis and their exercise prices will be increased on a 4:1 basis.

Registered shareholders of the Company will receive a letter of transmittal from the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., providing instructions for the exchange of their pre-Consolidation Common Shares as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender to the transfer agent the certificate(s) representing the pre-Consolidation Common Shares. The transfer agent will send to each registered shareholder who follows the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal a new share certificate representing the number of post- Consolidation Common Shares to which the shareholder is entitled to, or alternatively, a DRS Advice/Statement representing the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares the shareholder is entitled to following the Consolidation. No action is required by beneficial shareholders of the Company to receive Consolidated Shares in connection with the Consolidation. Beneficial shareholders who hold their pre-Consolidation Common Shares through intermediaries (e.g., a broker, bank, trust company investment dealer or other financial institution) and who have questions regarding how their Common Shares will be processed in connection with the Consolidation should contact their intermediaries.

As of the date of this news release, the Company has 8,817,880 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Following completion of the Consolidation on the Effective Date, the Company is expected to have approximately 2,204,470 Consolidated Shares issued and outstanding, subject to rounding of fractional Consolidated Shares.
