The parties wish to regulate the affairs of the Corporation, the composition of the Board, the transfer of Shares, and certain exit, information, and restrictive covenant matters, on the terms of this Agreement, which is intended to be a unanimous shareholder agreement within the meaning of the Act.zNOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:u ARTICLE 1 — INTERPRETATIONr2 z1.1 Definitionsz9In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:r7 zc"Act" means The Business Corporations Act, 2021 (Saskatchewan), as amended.z"Affiliate" has the meaning given in the Act, provided that a portfolio company of a financial sponsor Shareholder shall not be an Affiliate of that Shareholder solely by reason of common ownership by the sponsor.zI"Board" means the board of directors of the Corporation.zp"Business Day" means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or statutory holiday in Saskatchewan.z"Competitor" means any Person whose principal business is the origination, aggregation, processing, or export of pulses, oilseeds, or specialty crops in Canada, the United States, or any member state of the European Union.z"Drag Threshold" means Shareholders holding not less than two-thirds (66.67%) of the outstanding Class A Common Shares.a9 "Fair Market Value" means the cash price at which Shares would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under compulsion, determined without minority discount or control premium unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, and expressed in Canadian dollars.a "Permitted Transferee" means (a) an Affiliate of a Shareholder; (b) a trust, the sole beneficiaries of which are the Shareholder and members of the Shareholder's Immediate Family; and (c) in the case of the Founder, a holding company wholly owned by the Founder.z"Person" includes an individual, corporation, partnership, trust, unincorporated organization, and any government or agency thereof.z"Shares" means issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Corporation, of any class, and includes any option, warrant, conversion right, or other right to acquire shares.z"Transfer" includes any sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, and "Transferred" has a corresponding meaning.z 1.2 Interpretationab Headings are for convenience only. The words "including" and "includes" mean including without limitation. A reference to currency is to lawful money of Canada. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions continue in full force. This Agreement is drafted in English; the French version, if any, is for convenience only.u) ARTICLE 2 — SHARE CAPITAL AND OWNERSHIPz 2.1 Shareholdingsa[ Each Shareholder represents that it is the registered and beneficial owner of the Shares set out opposite its name in Schedule A, free of Encumbrances other than those arising under this Agreement and the constating documents. The Corporation shall not issue, and no Shareholder shall Transfer, any Shares except in accordance with this Agreement.z2.2 LegendaU Share certificates and the securities register shall bear a legend substantially as follows: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A UNANIMOUS SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT MADE AS OF 1 SEPTEMBER 2024, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE REGISTERED OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THAT AGREEMENT IS VOID."z!2.3 No Public Offeringa0 The parties intend that the Corporation remain a private issuer. No Shareholder shall take any step that would reasonably be expected to require the Corporation to become a reporting issuer under Saskatchewan, Alberta, or Manitoba securities laws, without the prior written consent of the Drag Threshold.u> ARTICLE 3 — TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSALz"3.1 General prohibitiona No Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares except (a) to a Permitted Transferee that first agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement; (b) pursuant to the right of first refusal in Section 3.3; (c) pursuant to the tag-along right in Article 4; (d) pursuant to the drag-along right in Article 5; (e) pursuant to the buy-sell procedure in Article 6; or (f) with the prior written consent of Shareholders holding at least 90% of the Class A Common Shares, excluding the Shares proposed to be Transferred.z3.2 Lock-upa Notwithstanding Section 3.1, no Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee during the period of eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date (the "Lock-up Period"), except pursuant to a drag-along sale under Article 5 or a buy-sell under Article 6. Transfers to Competitors are prohibited during the Lock-up Period in all circumstances.z%3.3 Right of first refusala If a Shareholder (the "Offeror") receives a bona fide written offer from an arm's-length third party (the "Third-Party Offer") to purchase Shares, and the Offeror wishes to accept it, the Offeror shall first deliver a written notice (the "ROFR Notice") to the Corporation and the other Shareholders. The ROFR Notice shall attach the Third-Party Offer and state the number of Shares, the cash price in Canadian dollars per Share, the identity of the proposed transferee, and all other material terms. The price under this Section 3.3 must be payable 100% in cash at closing; any non-cash consideration is deemed to have a cash value of nil for ROFR purposes unless the other Shareholders agree otherwise in writing.a The Corporation shall have a first right, exercisable by written notice within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the ROFR Notice, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the offered Shares on the terms of the Third-Party Offer. If the Corporation declines or fails to exercise, the other Shareholders shall have a second right, exercisable within a further fifteen (15) Business Days, to purchase the offered Shares pro rata to their holdings of Class A Common Shares (excluding the Offeror), with a right of oversubscription as among exercising Shareholders. The combined exercise period shall not exceed twenty-five (25) Business Days from delivery of the ROFR Notice.a] If the Corporation and the other Shareholders do not collectively elect to purchase all offered Shares, the Offeror may, during the following forty-five (45) days only, Transfer all (but not less than all) of the offered Shares to the identified third party at a price not less than, and on terms no more favourable to the transferee than, those in the ROFR Notice. Any Transfer to a Competitor requires the prior written consent of the Board, which may be withheld in the Board's sole discretion. A Transfer that is not completed within that forty-five day period again becomes subject to this Article 3.z 3.4 Void transfersa Any purported Transfer in breach of this Article 3 is void, confers no rights on the purported transferee, and shall not be entered in the securities register. The Corporation is entitled to treat the purported transferor as the continuing holder for all purposes.u ARTICLE 4 — TAG-ALONG RIGHTSz4.1 Triggera If one or more Shareholders propose to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, Class A Common Shares representing 10% or more of the outstanding Class A Common Shares to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee (a "Tag Sale"), the selling Shareholder(s) shall give at least twenty (20) Business Days' prior written notice to the other Shareholders (the "Tag Notice").z 4.2 Participationa Each non-selling Shareholder may elect, by notice within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Tag Notice, to sell a pro rata portion of its Class A Common Shares on the same price per Share and otherwise on the same terms as the Tag Sale. "Pro rata" means the proportion that the electing Shareholder's Class A Common Shares bear to all Class A Common Shares held by Shareholders participating in the Tag Sale, including the original selling Shareholder(s). The Founder may, in any Tag Sale, elect to include all of the Founder's Shares (and not merely a pro rata portion) if the Tag Sale would leave the Founder holding less than 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Shares.z4.3 Same termsa0 Tagging Shareholders shall not be required to provide any representation, warranty, or indemnity other than as to title to their own Shares, due authorization, and the absence of conflicts, and their liability shall be several (not joint) and capped at the proceeds actually received by that Shareholder.u ARTICLE 5 — DRAG-ALONG RIGHTSz 5.1 Drag-along salea If Shareholders constituting the Drag Threshold approve a bona fide arm's-length sale of all, or substantially all, of the outstanding Shares or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (a "Drag Sale"), those Shareholders (the "Dragging Shareholders") may require all other Shareholders to sell their Shares on the same price per Share and otherwise on the same terms as the Dragging Shareholders. The Dragging Shareholders shall deliver a Drag Notice at least twenty-five (25) Business Days before the proposed closing, describing the purchaser, price, form of consideration, and expected closing date.z#5.2 Minority protectionsa A Drag Sale may not be imposed if: (a) the consideration is other than cash or freely tradeable securities of a reporting issuer listed on the TSX, TSX Venture, or NYSE, unless each dragged Shareholder may elect cash in lieu based on Fair Market Value determined by an independent valuator appointed by the Board; (b) the purchaser is an Affiliate of a Dragging Shareholder, unless the price is not less than Fair Market Value as determined by that valuator; or (c) the Drag Sale would close during the Lock-up Period, unless the Board (excluding nominees of the Dragging Shareholders) unanimously consents. Dragged Shareholders' liability shall be several and capped at proceeds received.z 5.3 Power of attorneyaT Each Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints the Chair of the Board as its attorney to execute transfer forms, share certificates, and closing deliverables required to complete a Drag Sale conducted in accordance with this Article 5. The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and survives the Shareholder's insolvency or incapacity.u ARTICLE 6 — SHOTGUN BUY-SELLz6.1 Offera At any time after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, any Shareholder holding at least 15% of the Class A Common Shares (the "Initiating Shareholder") may deliver a written offer (the "Shotgun Offer") to the other Shareholders stating a single all-cash price per Class A Common Share in Canadian dollars (the "Shotgun Price") at which the Initiating Shareholder offers either to purchase all Shares held by the recipients or to sell all of the Initiating Shareholder's Shares. The Shotgun Offer shall be irrevocable for sixty (60) days and shall not include any earn-out, vendor take-back, or other deferred consideration.z6.2 Electiona Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Shotgun Offer (the "Election Period"), the recipient Shareholders acting by simple majority of their Class A Common Shares shall elect in writing either to (a) sell all of their Shares to the Initiating Shareholder at the Shotgun Price, or (b) purchase all of the Initiating Shareholder's Shares at the Shotgun Price. If the recipients fail to elect within the Election Period, they are conclusively deemed to have elected to sell. Closing shall occur on the ninetieth (90th) day after expiry of the Election Period, or the next Business Day, against payment in immediately available funds to an account in Saskatoon or Calgary.z6.3 Defaulta If a party obliged to purchase fails to close, the non-defaulting party may, as its sole remedy in lieu of specific performance, elect within ten (10) Business Days to reverse the transaction at 90% of the Shotgun Price, in which case the defaulting party shall sell, and the non-defaulting party shall purchase, all of the defaulting party's Shares. Interest at the Royal Bank of Canada prime rate plus 4% per annum shall accrue on overdue amounts.u ARTICLE 7 — PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTSa If the Corporation proposes to issue any Shares or securities convertible into Shares for cash (an "Issuance"), it shall first offer those securities to the Shareholders pro rata to their Class A Common Share holdings, on the same terms, by written notice specifying price, number, and a subscription period of not less than fifteen (15) Business Days. Unsubscribed securities may be offered to the other Shareholders for a further five (5) Business Days, and thereafter to third parties for not more than sixty (60) days at a price not less than, and on terms no more favourable than, those offered to Shareholders. This Article 7 does not apply to (a) Shares issued under a Board-approved employee option plan covering in aggregate not more than 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Shares; (b) Shares issued on conversion of already outstanding convertible securities issued in compliance with this Agreement; or (c) Shares issued as consideration in an arm's-length acquisition approved as a Reserved Matter.u/ ARTICLE 8 — BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCEz 8.1 Size and nomineesa The Board shall consist of five (5) directors.
