The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all investor relations ("IR") activities conducted by or on behalf of the Company comply with: The Securities Act (British Columbia), applicable guidance from the BC Securities Commission (BCSC), Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) requirements, and National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

For the purposes of this policy, "Investor Relations Activities" includes any activities or communications, directly or indirectly, that promote or could reasonably be expected to promote the purchase or sale of the Company's securities.

This includes, without limitation: newsletters, blog posts, and marketing materials; social media posts (including by third parties or influencers); paid research, reports, or analyst coverage; and email campaigns and digital advertising.

All IR materials must comply with the "clear and conspicuous disclosure" standard. Every communication must clearly state that it is "Disseminated on behalf of Plaid Technologies Inc." or a "paid advertisement on behalf of Plaid Technologies Inc."

Each communication must disclose: the party responsible for dissemination, and the nature of compensation (cash, securities, or other consideration).

Communications must be written in plain language, placed prominently at or near the beginning of the communication, and presented in a manner designed to capture reader attention.

Disclosure must not be buried in fine print or legal disclaimers, appear only at the end of a document, or be accessible only through hyperlinks.

All IR communications must be accurate, balanced, and not misleading. They must avoid exaggerated, promotional, or one-sided statements, include material risks where appropriate, and not resemble independent journalism without clear disclosure.

No IR communication may contain material information that has not been publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable securities laws.

All IR materials must be reviewed and approved by the Company's CEO and/or the designated Disclosure Officer. Legal review is required for new IR campaigns and third-party promotional engagements.

The Company will maintain centralized control over all IR messaging.

Prior to engaging any IR firm or consultant, the Company must enter into a written agreement outlining: scope of services, compensation structure, and compliance obligations. The Company must also conduct due diligence on the IR provider and require adherence to this policy and applicable securities laws.

The Company shall retain the right to pre-approve all content and monitor all disseminated materials.
