Outlook & Update on Annual General Meeting

The Corporation has been restructuring and refocusing on its core assets over the past year, developing strategic transportation networks, solidifying long term sales contracts and expanding its production capacity at its Hixton, Wisconsin facility. AMI's 2022 year-end audit reflects the complexity of this process and provides a strong foundation on which the Corporation can now move forward to pursue greater efficiency and to realign business strategic priorities.

During Q1, 2023, the Corporation announced the engagement of Canaccord Genuity as advisors for the exploration of strategic alternatives intended to maximize shareholder value. These strategic alternatives may include financing alternatives, a merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, consolidation, reorganization or other business combinations and other alternatives. This process is currently ongoing and based on the anticipated timing of the strategic alternatives process the Corporation has made the decision to defer the Annual General Meeting to a date later in the year.
