CORPORATE NAME AND ADDRESS CHANGE

PyroGenesis’ corporate name has changed from PyroGenesis Canada Inc. to PyroGenesis Inc. Simultaneously, the French version of its name has changed from PyroGènese Canada Inc. to PyroGènese Inc.

“This change to our name is a subtle but indicative change,” noted Mr. Pascali. “With sales across 21 countries and counting, this name change is part of an initiative to better express in all areas of communication that we are an internationally focused company with global reach.”

This name change does not involve any restructuring, change of control, or other corporate reorganization. This decision solely pertains to a more inclusive and internationally resonant brand image. The name change does not affect trading of the Company’s shares. The shares will continue to trade on the TSX under the symbol PYR and through the OTCQX under the symbol PYRGF. It is currently expected that the new corporate name will be effective on the Canadian and US capital markets as of November 11, 2024, with no change to the stock symbols.

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that it has recently moved its headquarters to a larger office location in downtown Montreal. The move comes as a result of the Company having outgrown its previous headquarters after more than 30 years in Montreal’s historic Griffintown neighbourhood. The new office location resides in the heart of downtown near Montreal Central Station, the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, and the Bell Centre arena (home of the Montreal Canadiens), and provides more modern amenities and a smarter office layout, while also providing easier access for employees and customers that use public transit.

PyroGenesis’ new corporate headquarters are located at 1100 René-Lévesque Boulevard West, Montréal, Québec, Suite 1825, H3B 4N4. Phone numbers will remain the same, with 514-937-0002 as the main line.
