Victoria, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - ALUULA Composites Inc.

Repricing these non-insider options remains subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company also announces the grant of 1,504,760 stock options, pursuant to the Company's share option plan, to certain directors, officers, and consultants to purchase up to 1,504,760 common shares of the Company. These options are exercisable at a price of $0.61 per common share until May 13, 2030. 533,725 of these options vested on grant, and the remaining options vest over a three-year period.
Stock options form a critical element of the Company's compensation policy and ALUULA wants to ensure adequate incentive is in place to attract and retain team members that will support the Company in meeting its growth objectives.
