24. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Debt Settlement Agreement”) with 22NW and Aron English, 22NW’s principal and a director of DIRTT, (together, the “22NW Group”) who, collectively, beneficially owned approximately 19.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at such time. Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the 22NW Group for the costs incurred by the 22NW Group in connection with the contested director election at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 26, 2022, being approximately $1.6 million (the “Debt”).

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to repay the Debt by either, or a combination of (i) a payment in cash by the Company to the 22NW Group, and/or (ii) the issuance of equity securities of the Company to the 22NW Group. The liability as at March 31, 2023 was revalued using the closing common share price at March 31, 2023, and a $2.1 million liability and expense was recorded in the financial statements.

In connection with the Debt Settlement Agreement, on March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a share issuance agreement with the 22NW Group, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay the Debt with the issuance to the 22NW Group of 3,899,745 common shares at a deemed price of $0.40 per common share, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders which was obtained at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 30, 2023.

Other related party transactions for the year ended December 31, 2023, relate to the sale of DIRTT products and services to the 22NW Group for $0.3 million. The sale to the 22NW Group was based on price lists in force and terms that are available to all employees. There were no sales to the 22NW Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Repurchase Agreement with 22NW Group to purchase for cancellation of C$18.9 million ($14.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$13.6 million ($10.1 million) principal amount of the December Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of C$22.1 million ($16.2 million). As at December 31, 2024, 22NW no longer held any Debentures. Interest earned on Debentures held by a related party is $nil for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024). Interest was earned on terms applicable to all Debenture holders.

Additionally, on August 2, 2024, DIRTT entered into a support and standstill agreement (the “2024 Support Agreement”) with 22NW and WWT, DIRTT’s second largest shareholder, which replaced the support and standstill agreement entered into with 22NW on March 22, 2024. Under the 2024 Support Agreement, both 22NW and WWT agreed to certain voting and standstill obligations, including voting in favor of the management director nominees at each of DIRTT’s next two annual general meetings and voting in favor of the ratification of the Amended and Restated SRP. Additionally, each of 22NW and WWT has the right to designate a director

nominee at each of DIRTT’s next two annual general meetings, and is subject to certain restrictions with respect to commencing a take-over bid for the Company. The 2024 Support Agreement also permits WWT to acquire up to 4,067,235 additional shares through market purchases (representing approximately 2% of the then issued and outstanding shares), which provides WWT with an opportunity to own the same number of shares as 22NW (being 57,447,988 shares, or approximately 29.8% of the issued and outstanding shares as of the date of the 2024 Support Agreement). The 2024 Support Agreement otherwise prohibits each of 22NW and WWT from acquiring any additional shares. Since the commencement of the 2024 Support Agreement, WWT acquired 156,250 shares in the year ended December 31, 2024. As of result of the share sale by WWT to the 726 Entities on February 13, 2026 as described below, WWT is no longer entitled to its nomination right under the 2024 Support Agreement. Except as amended by the 2026 Support Agreement described below, the 2024 Support Agreement otherwise remains in force.

To give effect to the terms of the 2024 Support Agreement, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated SRP, effective August 2, 2024, which amended and restated the Company’s shareholder rights plan agreement originally adopted by the Board on March 22, 2024 (the “Original SRP”). The Amended and Restated SRP was ratified by shareholders at the special meeting held on September 20, 2024 (the “SRP Meeting”). The Amended and Restated SRP revised the definition of “Exempt Acquisition” in order to permit WWT to acquire additional common shares without triggering the provisions of the Amended and Restated SRP. The Amended and Restated SRP is otherwise consistent with the Original SRP and is substantially similar to the rights plan adopted by the Company in 2021. Like the Original SRP, the Amended and Restated SRP is intended to help ensure that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly and equally in connection with any unsolicited take-over bid or other acquisition of control of the Company (including by way of a “creeping” take-over bid). The Amended and Restated SRP was not adopted in response to any specific proposal to acquire control of the Company, and the Board was not aware of any pending or potential take-over bid for the Company at the time of the adoption.
