American Marconi Wireless News - Zentek Announces Results of Canada Revenue Agency Audit

On February 25, 2025, the Company received a notice of reassessment from CRA in respect of its 2018 financial year resulting in a reclassification of approximately $507,000 (16.895%) of the amounts renounced (the "Reclassified Expenses") on the basis that the Reclassified Expenses did not meet the definition of CEEs, as defined for income tax purposes. As a result, Part XII.6 tax payable under section 211.91 of the Income Tax Act, related to form T101 was assessed for $59,693. The Company expects a reclassification of the renounced CEEs in 2019 as well and will report on that amount once a notice of reassessment in respect of the Company's 2019 financial year is received.

Subscribers of the Flow-Through Financings will be contacted directly by the CRA regarding a reassessment of deductions claimed in connection with the Reclassified Expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription and renunciation agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") entered into by the Company and the subscribers in connection with the Flow-Through Financings, the reduction in renounced CEEs will be made on a pro rata basis among all subscribers of the same financing.

Furthermore, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify the subscribers within 20 business days for tax attributable to disallowed renunciations of CEEs. The Company invites subscribers of the Flow-Through Financings who have received notices of reassessment from CRA to contact fts@zentek.com as soon as possible to exercise their right of indemnification and for more information about next steps. The maximum aggregate quantum of the Company's liability with respect to this indemnification obligation from the Flow-Through Financings is expected to be approximately $527,000.
