Accordingly, Clarke may repurchase its shares under the Plan on any trading day during the Share Issuer Bid including during self-imposed trading blackout periods. The Plan will commence immediately and terminate with the Share Issuer Bid. The Company may otherwise vary, suspend or terminate the Plan only if it does not have material non-public information and the decision to vary, suspend or terminate the Plan is not taken during a self-imposed trading blackout period. The Plan constitutes an “automatic plan” for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and has been pre-cleared by the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Purchases under the Plan may commence on August 24, 2026 and will terminate on August 23, 2027.
