The Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. The Reporting Persons intend to monitor and evaluate the investment on an ongoing basis and expect regularly to review and consider alternative ways of maximizing its return on such investment, depending on prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements or other investment considerations the Reporting Persons deem relevant. The Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors of NMG, other shareholders of NMG and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, board composition, management, strategy and future plans of NMG only to the extent such discussions do not create a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements and in compliance with applicable securities laws. The Reporting Persons may from time to time in the future seek to acquire, alone or in conjunction with others, additional Common Shares or other securities issued by NMG through open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, tender offer, merger, reorganization or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may also dispose of all or a portion of the securities of NMG, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Common Shares, in each case, subject to limitations under applicable law and any other required approvals. Under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, CGF will have certain information and access rights to books and records. CGF has the right to appoint one member of the board and one board observer. CGF has appointed one board observer and intends to nominate one director candidate to stand for election at NMG's 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders. Except as described in this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change its position and/or change its purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of NMG and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, NMG or other persons.
