*Debt Settlement Agreement* 

On March 15, 2023, DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (the "Company") entered into a debt settlement agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement") with 22NW Fund, LP and Aron English (collectively, "22NW"). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company acknowledged it is indebted to and will reimburse 22NW for the costs incurred by 22NW in connection with the Company's contested director election at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2022 (the "2022 Meeting"), being $1,559,898 (the "Debt"), in exchange for a release of any and all claims 22NW may have against the Company arising in any way, directly or indirectly, out of the 2022 Meeting.

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed to repay the Debt by either, or a combination of, (a) a payment in cash by the Company to 22NW (the "Cash Payment") or (b) the issuance of equity securities of the Company to 22NW (the "Security Issuance"). If the Company is unable to make the Cash Payment, then the Company shall repay the Debt with the Security Issuance, subject to approval by the Company's shareholders, if necessary.

The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Debt Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

*Share Issuance Agreement* 

Also on March 15, 2023, in connection with the entry into the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into a share issuance agreement with 22NW (the "Share Issuance Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay the Debt with the issuance of 3,899,745 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") to 22NW at a deemed price of $0.40 per Common Share, subject to the approval of a simple majority of votes cast at the 2023 annual and special meeting of the holders of Common Shares ("Shareholder Approval"), excluding any and all Common Shares held by 22NW, as required to be excluded under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). If the Company is unable to obtain Shareholder Approval, then the Company and 22NW will work in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to settle the terms of the repayment of the Debt.

The Security Issuance, if any, is subject to standard regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX. The Debt Settlement Agreement and Share Issuance Agreement contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and 22NW. The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement will be offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Issuance Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

As of the date hereof, 22NW is the Company's largest shareholder and beneficially owns 19,234,034 Common Shares, representing approximately 19.5% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares. Aron English is also a director of the Company.

**DIRTT Agrees to Reimburse 22NW for Expenses Related to Contested Director Election** 

CALGARY, Alberta, March 16, 2023—DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. ("DIRTT" or the "Company") (TSX:DRT, NASDAQ:DRTT), a global leader in industrialized construction, is pleased to announce it has entered into agreements with Aron English and 22NW Fund, L.P. (collectively, "22NW"), where the Company acknowledges it is indebted to and will reimburse 22NW for the expenses incurred by 22NW in connection with the Company's contested director election at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2022. The total expenses to be reimbursed are US$1,559,898. Subject to the receipt of shareholder approval, which is required under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"), the Company has agreed to issue common shares as settlement of the debt. The issuance of the shares, priced at US$0.40, will be put before the Company's shareholders for consideration and approval at the Company's upcoming 2023 annual and special meeting**.**

Ken Sanders, Board Chair of DIRTT, commented "As the prevailing party in last year's contested director election, it is appropriate that 22NW be reimbursed for the expenses they incurred. We believe a share reimbursement approach allows DIRTT to further strengthen our balance sheet and better positions the Company for long-term success, while the pricing fairly reflects the extended duration of the obligation as well as the trading restrictions attached to the issued shares. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to turn the page of this chapter in DIRTT's journey. Together, our highly collaborative Board and executive team – all of whom are now shareholders in the Company – continue to apply our full attention to creating differentiated value for our clients, partners, employees, and shareholders."

The issuance of the Shares is subject to standard regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX, which has not yet been obtained.
