85,714,285 common shares of the Company (“Common
Shares”) at a price of C$0.35 per whole Common Share for
aggregate gross proceeds of C$30,000,000. Each right distributed
under the Rights Offering (each, a "Right")
entitled eligible holders to subscribe for 0.81790023 Common
Shares, exercisable for whole Common Shares only, meaning
1.22264301 Rights were required to purchase one Common Share (the
"Basic Subscription Privilege").
In accordance with applicable law, the Rights
Offering included an additional subscription privilege (the
"Additional Subscription Privilege") under which
eligible holders of Rights who fully exercised the Rights issued to
them under their Basic Subscription Privilege were entitled to
subscribe for additional Common Shares, on a pro rata basis, that
were not otherwise subscribed for under the Basic Subscription
Privilege.
DIRTT issued an aggregate of 67,379,471 Common
Shares pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and 18,334,814
Common Shares pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege. As
a result of the Common Shares issued under the Basic Subscription
Privilege and Additional Subscription Privilege, no Common Shares
were available for issuance pursuant to the standby commitment
provided by 22NW Fund, LP, 726 BC LLC, 726 BF LLC and WWT
Opportunity #1 LLC (collectively, the "Standby
Purchasers") under a standby purchase agreement with the
Company (the "Standby Purchase Agreement").

inquiry, directors, officers and other insiders of the Company

Basic Subscription Privilege and 13,821,838 Common Shares under the
Additional Subscription Privilege for an aggregate of approximately
61,374,653 Common Shares acquired under the Rights Offering,
representing total subscription proceeds of approximately
C$21,481,128.55. To the knowledge of the Company, after reasonable
inquiry, no person that was not an insider of DIRTT before the
Rights Offering became an insider as a result of the distribution
of Common Shares under the Rights Offering.
To the knowledge of the Company after reasonable
inquiry, all other persons, as a group, acquired approximately
19,826,656 Common Shares under the Basic Subscription Privilege and

for an aggregate of approximately 24,339,632 Common Shares acquired
under the Rights Offering, representing total subscription proceeds
of approximately C$8,518,871.20.

with the solicitation of the exercise of Rights under the Rights
Offering; however, DIRTT will reimburse the Standby Purchasers for
their reasonable expenses in connection with the Standby Purchase
Agreement up to a maximum of C$30,000 per Standby Purchaser.
