DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES
The Company is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements, which are filed with this Annual Report, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and which are not comparable to financial statements of United States companies.
CURRENCY
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Annual Report, including the documents incorporated by reference herein or attached as Exhibits hereto, are in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars (the functional currency of the Company) into United States dollars, on December 31, 2024, based upon the daily average exchange rate as quoted by the Bank of Canada, was U.S.$1.00 = C$1.4389. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 31, 2025, based upon the daily average exchange rate as quoted by the Bank of Canada, was U.S.$1.00 = C$1.3706.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A. . Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “” or the “”) under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“”) and its Chief Financial Officer (“”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedu
res
Commission
SEC
CEO
CFO
At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e)
and Rule 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act). The evaluation included documentation review, enquiries and other procedures considered 1
by management to be appropriate in the circumstances. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
B. . This Annual Report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by rules of the Commission for newly public companies.
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting
C. . This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Commission for newly public companies.
Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm
D. . During the period covered by this Annual Report, no change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. See “Certification on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in the MD&A.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR
The Company was not required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to send any notices to any of its directors or executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Company’s board of directors (the “”) has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. The Board has determined that William Onuwa is an audit committee financial expert and is independent, as that term is defined by the Exchange Act and the New York Stock Exchange’s (“”) corporate governance standards applicable to the Company.
Board
NYSE
The Commission has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board in the absence of such designation and does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit and Risk Management Committee or Board.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “”), by which it and all officers and employees of the Company, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, abide. There were no waivers granted in respect of the Code during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Code is posted on the Company’s website at https://boydgroup.com/sustainability/. If there is an amendment to the Code, or if a waiver of the Code is granted to any of Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller,
Code

the Company intends to disclose any such amendment or waiver by posting such information on the Company’s website. Unless and to the extent specifically referred to herein, the information on the Company’s website shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Annual Report. Except for the Code, and notwithstanding any reference to the Company’s website or other websites in this Annual Report or in the documents incorporated by reference herein or attached as Exhibits hereto, no information contained on the Company’s website or any other site shall be incorporated by reference in this Annual Report or in the documents incorporated by reference herein or attached as Exhibits hereto.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Deloitte LLP (PCAOB ID No. 1208 )
acted as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

AUDIT
COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES See the section
“Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures” in our AIF, which section is incorporated by reference herein. IDENTIFICATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and satisfies the requirements of Exchange Act
Rule 10A-3. The
Company’s Audit Committee is comprised of William Onuwa (Chair), John Hartmann and Christine Feuell, all of whom, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, are independent (as determined under Rule 10A-3 of
the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE) and are financially literate. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The NYSE Listed Company Manual generally requires that a listed company’s
by-laws
provide for a quorum for any meeting of the holders of the company’s common shares that is sufficiently high to ensure a representative vote. As a foreign private issuer, we have elected to comply with practices that are permitted under Canadian law in lieu of this NYSE requirement. Our by-laws
provide that two persons (one of whom shall be, or shall be representing, a Canadian) present and holding or representing by proxy, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the shares entitled to be voted at the meeting shall be a quorum. Except as stated above, we are in compliance with the rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the NYSE. We may in the future decide to use other foreign private issuer exemptions with respect to some of the other NYSE listing requirements. Following our home country governance practices, as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a company listed on the NYSE, may provide less protection than is accorded to investors under the NYSE listing requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
