Strategic rationale

Following Westbridge's previous dividend of CAD 0.10 per share, which was distributed on 21^st June 2024 to shareholders of record as of 7^th June 2024, the Company remains committed to returning value to shareholders while preserving the financial flexibility required to grow. The Company is declaring a one-time, special dividend. This is a non-recurring distribution and should not be interpreted as an indication of ongoing or regular dividend payments. The Company remains committed to consider additional dividends if and when its cash position permits, but any future distributions will remain at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

After the payment of this proposed dividend, Westbridge retains a strong cash position to continue advancing its development portfolio and pursue expansion into new projects. The Company is actively working on new project development opportunities in Ontario, aiming to establish a leading position in one of Canada's most strategically important power markets. In addition, Westbridge has launched data centre initiatives in the United States that will diversify the Company's portfolio and provide exposure to the rapidly growing AI sector, where demand for reliable clean power and energy-dense infrastructure is accelerating.

Management remains committed to future dividend distributions when the Company's cash position permits and as revenues from ongoing and upcoming projects are realized.

"This dividend is a demonstration of Westbridge's confidence in its financial strength and its future pipeline," said Stefano Romanin, CEO of Westbridge. "We believe in delivering returns to our shareholders without compromising our ability to grow. The Ontario projects are especially promising, and our U.S. data centre initiatives will enable us to participate in one of the most dynamic sectors out there - all while maintaining our clean energy leadership."
