TOURMALINE ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
The NCIB allows Tourmaline to purchase up to 19,342,343 common shares (representing 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares as of July 31, 2025) over a period of twelve months commencing on August 8, 2025. The NCIB will expire on August 7, 2026. Under the NCIB, common shares may be repurchased in open market transactions on the TSX and other alternative trading platforms in Canada and in accordance with the rules of the TSX governing NCIBs. The total number of common shares Tourmaline is permitted to purchase is subject to a daily purchase limit of 563,429 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 2,253,717 common shares on the TSX calculated for the six-month period ended July 31, 2025; however, Tourmaline may make one block purchase per calendar week which exceeds the daily repurchase restrictions. Any common shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase by Tourmaline.
Under its most recent normal course issuer bid, Tourmaline obtained approval to purchase up to 17,621,578 of its common shares, of which Tourmaline purchased no common shares.
Tourmaline believes that at times, the prevailing share price does not reflect the underlying value of the common shares and the re-purchase of its common shares for cancellation represents an attractive opportunity to enhance Tourmaline's per share metrics and thereby increase the underlying value of its common shares to its shareholders. Tourmaline will use the NCIB as another tool to enhance total long-term shareholder returns and it will be used in conjunction with management's disciplined free cash flow capital allocation strategy.

The Hosted Buyers Program facilitates access for national and international buyers and specifically promotes networking within the industry. A roadshow with stops in selected economic regions spotlights the trade fair in advance and reinforces the presence of key players. International dimension and targeted networking Preparations are already in full swing – this autumn, Kids India will once again bring international decision-makers and leading Indian manufacturers and brands together under one roof. As a focused B2B platform, the trade fair specifically promotes the development of sustainable supplier relationships and offers the opportunity to discover innovative products and current market trends directly on site. At the last edition, 127 exhibitors presented over 170 brands in 8,000 m² of exhibition space. The spectrum ranges from baby and infant articles, wooden toys and sustainable products to technical and electronic toys, dolls and soft toys, school supplies, model construction, sports and outdoor items, lifestyle products and games. Kids India is part of the world's largest network for the toy industry, which also includes SPIEL in Essen and the Spielwarenmesse in Nuremberg. More than 5,000 trade visitors from 31 countries took advantage of last year's event to make new business contacts and gain a comprehensive overview of the innovative strength of the Indian market. Hosted Buyers Program provides easier access to the market Kids India strengthens professional discussion and helps companies to expand their networks in the industry through a variety of measures. A particular highlight is the Hosted Buyers Program. This makes it easier for domestic and foreign buyers to attend the trade fair, thereby expanding the buyer base.

"With the Hosted Buyers Program, we specifically promote dialogue between exhibitors and key market players, thereby laying the foundations for sustainable business relationships," emphasises Tanu Ailawadi, Managing Director of Spielwarenmesse India Pvt.

With benefits such as these and its comprehensive supporting programme, Kids India provides the ideal conditions for deepening existing partnerships and tapping into new potential in one of the world's fastest-growing toy markets. Exhibitors can still take advantage of the opportunity to be part of Kids India 2025. All information and registration options can be found on the official website of the trade fair.

Last week, Ether (ETH) surged more than 20%, approaching its November 2021 all-time high, fueled by record institutional participation and a historic $1 billion single-day inflow into ETH Spot ETFs on August 11, 2025. Firms such as SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion Technologies led the charge, with BitMine surpassing the 1 million ETH milestone and outlining plans to expand its equity program by $20 billion. Key Market Highlights ETH rallies 23% this week, extending its 30-day gain to 55% and outperforming Bitcoin year-to-date. Record $1B inflow into ETH Spot ETFs on Aug 11, 2025, alongside bullish derivatives positioning. ETH options skew flipped from −11% to +4.8% in favor of short-tenor calls, signaling strong upside sentiment. BTC hits new ATH of $124K on Aug 14, 2025, after President Trump's executive order permitting 401(k) investments in digital assets. BTC options volatility briefly spiked from 24% to 34% as spot broke key resistance levels, with demand shifting toward upside calls. ETH: Institutional Demand Dominates Ether's rally is supported by unprecedented institutional inflows and favorable regulatory momentum boosting stablecoin and tokenization activity on Ethereum. Despite rapid price appreciation, daily ETH options volumes held steady at $200 million, with traders aggressively pricing short-term gains. A brief term structure inversion on Aug 10 underscored market conviction in near-term upside potential. BTC: Sentiment Reversal Toward Upside Bitcoin surged past $116K to $122K before reaching a record $124K. The rally coincided with a sharp reversal in derivatives sentiment as short-tenor call demand grew.
