Updated Information on Privatization Transaction

The Company is pleased to provide an update in respect of its previously announced transaction pursuant to which XS Acquisition Portfolio LLC (the "Purchaser"), an affiliate of a US alternative asset fund, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares ("SV Shares") and proportionate voting shares ("PV Shares") of XS, by plan of arrangement for a cash purchase price of Cdn$0.05265 per SV Share and Cdn$52.65 per PV Share (the "Arrangement").

XS is convening a general and special meeting to be held on September 9, 2024 to seek securityholder approval for the Arrangement (the "Meeting"). The transaction will be effected by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under Section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and will require the following approvals to be obtained at the Meeting:

(i)

approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by holders of SV Shares at the Meeting, voting separately as a class;

(ii)

approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by holders of PV Shares at the Meeting, voting separately as a class;

(iii)

approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by holders of SV Shares, PV Shares, outstanding stock options of XS ("Options") and outstanding share purchase warrants of XS ("Warrants") at the Meeting, voting together as a single class;

(iv)

a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of SV Shares at the Meeting, excluding votes from certain shareholders as required under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"); and

(v)

a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of PV Shares at the Meeting, excluding votes from certain shareholders as required under MI 61-101.

The votes to be excluded with respect to items (iv) and (v) above are those attaching to SV Shares and PV Shares held, directly or indirectly, by Messrs. David Kivitz, Antony Radbod and Justin Vuong (collectively, the "Interested Insiders"). The Arrangement constitutes a "business combination" of XS for the purposes of MI 61-101 as (i) it is an arrangement as a consequence of which the interest of a holder of an equity security of XS may be terminated without the holder's consent, and (ii) the Interested Insiders, each of whom is a director and/or officer of XS, is entitled to receive a collateral benefit in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to (A) new employment agreements to be entered into pursuant to which each of the Interested Insiders will provide ongoing services to XS following completion of the Arrangement; and (B) the receipt of a portion of an overall bonus pool in the aggregate amount of US$770,000 upon completion of the Arrangement (the division of which will be determined by the compensation committee of the Company in its discretion). To the knowledge of the Company, the Interested Insiders collectively hold, directly and indirectly, an aggregate of 3,698,790 SV Shares, 19,681.645 PV Shares, 22,166,666 Options (on an as-converted to SV Share basis) and no Warrants as of the date hereof, representing approximately 4.8% of all issued and outstanding SV Shares, approximately 75.2% of all issued and outstanding PV Shares, approximately 56.4% of all issued and outstanding Options and 0% of all issued and outstanding Warrants as of such date.

For further details of the Meeting, please refer to the management information circular of the Company dated August 2, 2024 (the "Circular") available at SEDAR+ online at www.sedarplus.ca. The Company has also agreed to waive the proxy cut-off deadline as set forth in the Circular and accept duly completed proxies up to the commencement of the Meeting. All XS securityholders are urged to read the Circular in its entirety as it contains additional important information about the Arrangement. The Company encourages all shareholders and holders of Options and Warrants to complete and return their form of proxy or voting information form, as applicable, in accordance with the instructions contained in the Circular in order that such securities may be voted at the Meeting.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
