The other of the Legal Proceedings involves a second statement of claim filed at the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta alleging wrongful termination against the Company and seeking an amount equal to 26 months of her total compensation plus additional damages. The independent directors and management dispute the allegations and intend to defend the interests of the Company and its shareholders.“Questor is moving forward with purpose,” said Paul Huizinga, Chair of the Special Committee. “Our focus is on securing the right permanent leadership for Questor and ensuring shareholders have full visibility into that process.

The Company has not received any proposal with respect to a going-private transaction or any other strategic transaction. There are no assurances that any strategic alternative will be identified or pursued from the Special Committee’s strategy refresh process. The Company will continue to provide updates on the CEO search and strategy refresh process in accordance with applicable securities laws and as developments warrant.ABOUTQUESTORTECHNOLOGYINC.Questor Technology Inc., incorporated in Canada under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), is an environmental emissions reduction technology company founded in 1994, with global operations.
