22NW Provides Update on Requisition for DIRTT Environmental Solutions Meeting

SEATTLE, November 29, 2021 /CNW/ - 22NW Fund, LP (“22NW”) today provided an update on its requisition (the “Requisition”) for a meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“DIRTT”) under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “ABCA”) to remove six of the eight current directors of DIRTT, being Todd Lillibridge, Denise Karkkainen, Shauna King, Jim Lynch, Steve Parry and Diana Rhoten, and replace them with six highly qualified director candidates, being Aron English, Cory Mitchell, Douglas Edwards, Scott Robinson, Scott Ryan and Ken Sanders. 22NW has requested that the Meeting be held no later than January 21, 2022.

On November 26, 2021, Canadian counsel for 22NW received a letter (the “DIRTT Letter”) from counsel to DIRTT’s board of directors (the “Board”), stating that in connection with the Requisition, counsel to the Board had been asked to undertake an investigation as to whether 22NW and other DIRTT shareholders have been acting jointly or in concert in an attempt to gain control of the Board, and also to examine whether similar conduct had been undertaken in a co-ordinated strategy to acquire DIRTT shares (“Shares”).

Today, 22NW’s Canadian counsel responded to counsel to the Board, by referring counsel to 22NW’s various filings made under United States and Canadian securities laws, as well as 22NW’s information circular dated November 22, 2021, filed on DIRTT’s SEDAR profile on November 22, 2021, which provide complete responses to the matters raised in the DIRTT Letter.

The Requisition was delivered to DIRTT on November 17, 2021 (as acknowledged in DIRTT’s press release of the same date), and as of today 22NW has not received any response from DIRTT to the Requisition, other than the DIRTT Letter. Under the ABCA, the Board has until December 8, 2021 to respond to the Requisition.

Depending on market conditions and other factors, 22NW may in the future increase or decrease its ownership, control or direction over Shares through market transactions, private agreements or otherwise.
