NOUVEAU MONDE ANNOUNCES EVALUATION OF ADDITIONAL LISTING ON A MAJOR U.S. STOCK EXCHANGE AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS - Seite 2

The Company anticipates its common shares would commence trading on the selected U.S. stock exchange during the second quarter of this year, subject to the Board of the Directors' approval to proceed with the potential listing, prevailing market conditions and satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements as well as receipt of approval to list.

Special Meeting of Shareholders to Consider a Share Consolidation

In connection with the potential listing, the Company will hold a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. The Company has set the Record Date for the Special Meeting on Friday, February 19, 2021. The purpose of the Special Meeting is to seek authorization from the Company's shareholders to enable the Board of Directors (the "Board") to consider a consolidation of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio that will result in a post-consolidation price that meets the listing requirements for the selected U.S. stock exchange.

Any authority of the Board to consolidate the shares is conditional upon the prior approval of the Company's shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange. There is also no assurance that the Board will proceed with a listing on a major U.S. stock exchange, or that the exchange would approve a listing application by the Company. Additional information, including the time and instructions for virtually accessing and voting at the Special Meeting will be provided later. Further, a Management Information Circular for the upcoming Special Meeting will be mailed to shareholders and filed by the Company on SEDAR.
