LANGLEY, BC - March 25, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Ironman International Ltd. (TSXV: IMI) (OTCQB: IMITF) ("Ironman" or the "Company") announces that it will likely miss its filing deadline of March 30, 2026 to file audited annual financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the financial year ended November 30, 2025 (collectively, the "Annual Filings"), as required under applicable Canadian securities laws.

In connection with the Company's inability to file the Annual Filings on time, the Company has applied for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") and is waiting for the decision of the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) with respect to its application.

The Company is applying for a MCTO as a result of the Company having been advised by its auditor that the auditor anticipates being unable to complete its audit of the Company by the required filing deadline. The delay in completion of the audit is due to the Annual Filings being the first audited financial statements filed by the Company following the Company’s acquisition of 1097195 B.C. Ltd. and Ironman Directional Drilling US Inc. as further detailed in the Company’s news release dated September 29, 2025.

The Company expects to file the Annual Filings on or about April 13, 2026, but in any event as soon as they are available. The Company will issue a news release once the Annual Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities will not be able to trade in the Company's common shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of March 30, 2026, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default.

The Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings. If the Company provides any information to any of its creditors during the period in which it is in default of filing the Annual Filings, the Company confirms that it will also file material change reports on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ containing such information.
