Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (39% average weekly change).

Imaflex Inc. Submits Advaseal® Registration Package to the EPA Imaflex Inc. announced that it has submitted the ADVASEAL HG® (ADVASEAL®) registration package to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as a new physical pesticide formulation. In conjunction with this, the Corporation submitted the required active ingredient (TGAI1) registrations for approval as generic pesticides for use in the manufacturing of ADVASEAL®. News follows the successful completion of two previously announced independent field trials – the Efficacy Trial and the Release Study – which respectively demonstrated the efficacy and safety of ADVASEAL® as a pre-plant soil fumigant replacement. The required active ingredient rates using ADVASEAL® are more than 95% lower than the current labeled fumigant rates per acre and the exposure to emissions and pesticide drift is almost eliminated for applicators and bystanders. Management believes the EPA registration process will be positive as the generic pesticides to be used in ADVASEAL® are effectively used by growers. As well, the Corporation previously received EPA approval of an herbicidal active ingredient release film, ADVASEAL® HSM. Reported Earnings • Aug 23

Imaflex Announces Positive Independent Results for the ADVASEAL Release Study Imaflex Inc. announced positive independent results for the ADVASEAL Release Study. The release times of all five crop protection products coated on ADVASEAL® are in compliance with the pre-harvest intervals established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Study included two soil bed moisture levels at time of ADVASEAL's application and two independent drip irrigation frequencies. More specifically, initial soil bed moisture levels at application were set at either 75% or 100% soil capacity, while irrigation intervals after applying the film were either once (day eight) or twice (day eight and fifteen). Regardless of treatment used, the release times of all active ingredients were found to be in compliance with permitted pre-harvest intervals. The original EPA approved ADVASEAL (ADVASEAL® HSM), contained only a herbicide for weed control. The new enhanced ADVASEAL under development also includes fungicides and a nematicide to control soil borne pathogens, thus becoming a complete non-fumigant alternative for soil disinfestation. With ADVASEAL, modern non-volatile crop protection products can be applied more effectively and safely than with fumigants. The crop protection products are incorporated into a coating, which is then applied to a mulch film. Once the coated film is applied to the ground, the active ingredients are released into the soil under controlled conditions, preventing the over/under-dosing found with current soil disinfestation practices. This new technology dramatically reduces the amount of crop protection products required. The catalyst to trigger the release of the active ingredients is soil moisture. When the film is applied to the soil, they are efficiently and safely discharged into the ground, resulting in heightened productivity, lower costs and notable environmental benefits.

Imaflex Inc. Updates on Its ADVASEAL Study Imaflex Inc. is conducting a Release Study, which is the last and most comprehensive trial required prior to submitting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration package. The study determines the exact timing for release of each active ingredient (herbicide, nematicide and fungicides) coated on the new ADVASEAL®. This is required to show compliance with the pre-harvest interval legally established by the EPA, which is essentially the wait time required between the application of crop protection products onto the soil and when a crop can be harvested for safe human consumption. Imaflex will announce the independent trial results once available. The Corporation remains focused on submitting the registration package with the EPA around year-end 2020. Once submitted, the EPA review process can take up to a year to complete. Is New 90 Day High Low • Nov 13
