Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains “forward -looking information” and “forward- looking statements” within the
meaning of applicable securities legislation (collectively, “forward- looking statements”), including, but not
limited to, statements relating to future events or future financial or operating performance of the Company
and reflect management’s expectations and assumptions regarding the Company’s growth, results,
performance and business prospects and opportunities. Such forward- looking statements reflect
management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to it. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, the information concerning the Offering, including the
jurisdictions in which the Shares will be offered, the anticipated offering size, the completion of the Offering
on the timeline indicated, or at all; the anticipated use of the net proceeds from the Offering, the receipt of
all necessary approvals, and the expected results of the initiatives described in this press release, and those
statements which are discussed under the “About Nouveau Monde” paragraph and elsewhere in the press
release which essentially describe the Company’s outlook and objectives.
Forward-looking statements are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable by the Company as of the time of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance, or
achievement of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known or unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors
that could cause actual results or event s to differ materially from current expectations include, among
others, availability financing or financing on favorable terms for the Company, delays in finalizing the
definitive agreements, delays in reaching FID, and general economic conditions, as well as earnings, capital
expenditure, cash flow and capital structure risks and general business risks. A further description of risks
and uncertainties can be found in NMG’s Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2025, including in the
section thereof captioned “Risk Factors”, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR
at www.sec.gov. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this Cautionary Note could also have
material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.
Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. There can be
no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are provided
for the purpose of providing information about management’s expectations and plans relating to the future.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward -looking statements or
to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements,
except to the extent required by applicable law.
