David Barclay, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Jade Power, commented,
“I would like to thank our Unitholders for their
support. 2022 has proven to be a monumental year for Jade Power.
Through the sale of our assets, we believe, we have delivered on
the best value opportunity to our Unitholders. As previously
announced, it is our intention to distribute all of the net
proceeds received from the Sale Transaction less a reserve to be
held to operate the Trust for a period of time. Although the exact
payment date and value of future special distributions is not
determinable at this time, we look forward to maximizing value to
Unitholders.”

About Jade Power
Jade Power Trust (“Jade Power” or the “Trust”)
is an unincorporated open-ended limited purpose trust established
under the laws of the Province of Ontario Prior to the sale of its
operating assets, the Trust, through its subsidiaries, generated
and sold electricity. Following the closing of the Sale
Transaction, the listing of the trust units (“Units”) in the
capital of the Trust was transferred to the NEX Board (“NEX”) of
the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV") as a result of the Trust no
longer meeting certain of the TSXV’s continuous listing
requirements. The trading of the Units on NEX became effective at
the opening of trading on December 2, 2022. The Trust qualifies as
a "mutual fund trust" and not a “SIFT trust” (each as defined under
the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act").” All
