OPTEGRA VENTURES PROVIDES DEFAULT STATUS REPORT ON REQUIRED FILINGS

Further to Optegra Ventures Inc.'s news releases dated Jan. 16, 2026, Jan. 29, 2026, Feb. 12, 2026, Feb. 26, 2026, and March 12, 2026, regarding the company's late filing of its audited financial statements for the year ended Sept. 30, 2025, the related management discussion and analysis, and chief executive officer and chief financial officer annual certificates for this period and the grant of a management cease trade order, the company has provided its biweekly default status report in the form of a news release, as required under National Policy 12-203, Management Cease Trade Orders.

The company confirms that:

1. There have been no material changes to the information contained in the default announcement that have not been generally disclosed.
2. There has been no failure by the company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203.
3. There has been no default by the company subsequent to the default announcement other than the company being unable to file its interim financial statements for the three-month period ended Dec. 31, 2025, the related management discussion and analysis, and the CEO and CFO interim certifications by the required deadline of March 2, 2026.
4. There has been no other material information concerning the affairs of the company that has not been generally disclosed.

The company confirms that it will continue to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203 for so long as the required filings and the Q1 filings have not been filed.

The current management cease trade order expires on March 30, 2026, and, if the annual filings are not completed by such date, a failure-to-file cease trade order will be issued. The company currently expects to file the required filings by May 8, 2026, with the Q1 filings to follow shortly thereafter, and will issue a news release once the required filings and Q1 filings have been filed.
