OPTEGRA ANNOUNCES APPLICATION FOR MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER

Optegra Ventures Inc. has acknowledged a potential delay in the filing of its annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended Sept. 30, 2025, and the related management's discussion and analysis, and chief executive officer and chief financial officer certificates, which are due Jan. 28, 2026. As further described below, the company expects to file the required filings on or before March 14, 2026.

The company continues to work diligently with its auditor but anticipates it will fail to file the required filings by the filing deadline due to recent financial difficulties associated with delays in closing its previously announced private placement, which impacted the company's ability to finance its audit combined with auditor scheduling issues over the holiday season. The company anticipates that it will be in a position to file the required filings on or about March 14, 2026.

The company has made an application for a management cease trade order (MCTO) to the British Columbia Securities Commission (the BCSC) under National Policy 12-203 -- Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults, which is subject to approval by the BCSC. There is no certainty that the MCTO will be granted. If the MCTO is granted, and during the period while the MCTO is effective, certain individuals will be prohibited from trading in the company's securities, but the general public who are not insiders of the company will continue to be able to trade in the company's listed securities.

The company confirms that there is no other material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed. The company will provide updates as further information relating to the required filings and the BCSC's decision regarding the company's application for the MCTO.

We seek Safe Harbor.
