Metatek launches share buyback program under NCIB

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2026) - Metatek-Group Ltd. (TSX: MTEK) ("Metatek" or the "Company") announces that its Board of Directors has approved the filing of an application to the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") to launch a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"). Subject to TSX approval, the Company intends to repurchase up to 2,461,323 common shares, representing approximately five percent of its outstanding common shares, the maximum permitted over a twelve-month period under the policies of the TSX. The Board of Directors believes that, from time to time, the market price of the Company's common shares may not fully reflect their underlying value and future prospects.

Accordingly, the Board believes that the NCIB represents an appropriate use of the Company's available financial resources and forms part of the Company's ongoing commitment to enhancing shareholder value. Dr. Mark Davies, Chief Executive Officer of Metatek, commented: "The proposed NCIB reflects our confidence in Metatek's long-term outlook and commitment to disciplined capital allocation. We believe our technology platform, contract portfolio and growth opportunities are not fully reflected in our current market valuation.

The NCIB would provide an opportunity to create long-term value for shareholders while maintaining the financial flexibility required to support the continued growth of our business." Additional details regarding the commencement date, term and other conditions of the NCIB will be announced following receipt of all required approvals.
