On June 21, 2019, we completed our plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) with Mogo Finance Technology Inc (“Mogo Finance”). In connection with the Arrangement, the Company was continued into British Columbia and changed its name from Difference Capital Financial Inc. to Mogo Inc. The Arrangement was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of the Company by Mogo Finance under IFRS 3 - Business combinations, and accordingly, beginning with the second quarter of 2019, the Company’s financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and all other documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada reflect the continuing operations of Mogo Finance.

We rely on our proprietary credit scoring model in the forecasting of loss rates. If we are unable to effectively forecast loss rates, it may negatively impact our operating results.
Our risk management efforts may not be effective.
We have a history of losses and may not achieve consistent profitability in the future. In addition, if we continue to grow, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively.
Carta's business is reliant on contracts with key customers operating in the payment industry.
We may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If capital is not available to us, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.
If new products and platform enhancements do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our financial results and competitive position will be harmed.
Our business is subject to extensive and evolving regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, all of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation.

As registrants and members of, or firms registered with, applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, IntelligentInvesting Securities Inc. and IntelligentInvesting Wealth Management Inc. are subject to extensive regulation in Canada.
If we do not maintain the capital levels required by applicable regulators, our business may be restricted and we may be subject to disciplinary or corrective actions.
Our operation of a platform for independent portfolio managers exposes us to potential liability for advisor misconduct, compliance failures, and evolving regulatory expectations for investment management platforms.
Our business may be adversely affected by material changes to the interest rate charged to our members and paid to our lenders.
Our debt financing sources are highly concentrated, and we may not be able to access additional sources of funding on reasonable terms or at all.
Our agreements with our lenders contain a number of early payment triggers and covenants. A breach of such triggers or covenants or other terms of such agreements could result in an early amortization, default, or acceleration of the maturity date which could materially impact our operations.
Our levels of indebtedness can have negative implications for our shareholders.
We and our partners process sensitive data, and our digital platforms may be targeted by fraud or unauthorized access, which could harm our reputation and materially affect our business.
The collection, processing, storage, use, and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights.
Cybersecurity incidents and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.
It may be difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection. We may face claims by third parties for alleged infringement of their intellectual property rights, which could harm our business.

Worsening economic conditions may cause our members' loan default rates to increase and harm our operating results.

Approximately 35% of our assets as of December 31, 2025 consisted of loans to our members. Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in Canada and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets, historically have created a difficult environment for companies operating in our industries. Current global and macroeconomic conditions remain in a state of heightened volatility due to a number of factors, including geopolitical risks and tensions, changes in government administrations, regulations, legislation and policies, and trade relations and ongoing trade tensions, including the threat of tariffs, other governmental actions and retaliatory actions. In particular, tariffs imposed by the United States on Canadian imports, together with retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on U.S imports, have created significant economic uncertainty. These tariffs have contributed to inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, reduced consumer confidence, and increased volatility in the Canadian dollar and capital markets. There can be no assurance that the current tariff regime will be eased, and any escalation or prolonged continuation of trade tensions between Canada and the United States could further weaken the economic conditions in which we operate. These factors, which are beyond our control, may influence inflation, interest rates, unemployment levels, consumer confidence, economic growth in the geographies in which the Company operates and other general economic conditions. The Company continues to monitor global and macroeconomic developments and may take steps to mitigate potential risks. However, there can be no assurance that such developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, there can be no assurance that economic conditions will remain favorable for our business or that default rates on our loans by our members will remain at current levels. Increased default rates by our members on our loans may inhibit our access to capital and negatively impact our profitability. If delinquency or uncollectable rates on our consumer loans exceed certain levels defined in the Credit Facility it could constitute a default under the Credit Facility or other credit facilities, reducing or terminating such facilities. Furthermore, we receive a number of applications from potential members who do not satisfy the requirements for our loans. If an insufficient number of qualified individuals apply for our loans, our growth and revenue could decline.

Our allowance for loan losses is determined based upon both objective and subjective factors and may not be adequate to absorb loan losses.

We face the risk that our members will fail to repay their loans in full. We reserve for such losses by establishing an allowance for loan losses, the increase of which results in a charge to our earnings as a provision for loan losses. We have established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. While this evaluation process uses historical and other objective information, the classification of loans and the forecasts and establishment of loan losses are also dependent on our subjective assessment based upon our experience and judgment. The accelerating development and adoption of artificial intelligence and automation technologies may disrupt traditional employment patterns and potentially increase unemployment rates in certain sectors where our borrowers are concentrated. These technological disruptions could alter historical default patterns and create new challenges in accurately forecasting loan losses, as these emerging trends may not be fully captured in our historical data or current risk models. Actual losses are difficult to forecast, especially if such losses stem from factors beyond our historical experience, and unlike traditional banks, we are not subject to periodic review by bank regulatory agencies of our allowance for loan losses. A significant increase in our allowance for loan losses could also adversely affect our available capital and our ability to comply with financial covenants under our Credit Facility, which could restrict our access to funding. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

7


 

We rely on our proprietary credit scoring model in the forecasting of loss rates. If we are unable to effectively forecast loss rates, it may negatively impact our operating results.

In deciding whether to extend credit to prospective members, we rely heavily on our credit score generated by our proprietary credit scoring model and decisioning system, an empirically derived suite of statistical models built using third-party data, data from our members and our credit experience gained through monitoring the performance of our members over time. If our proprietary credit scoring model and decisioning system fails to adequately predict the creditworthiness of our members, or if our proprietary cash flow analytics system fails to assess prospective members' financial ability to repay their loans, or if any portion of the information pertaining to the prospective member is false, inaccurate or incomplete, and our systems did not detect such falsities, inaccuracies or incompleteness, or any or all of the other components of the credit decision process described herein fails, we may experience higher than forecasted losses. Furthermore, if we are unable to access the third-party data used in our credit scores, our access to such data is limited or such information is outdated or incorrect, our ability to accurately evaluate potential members will be compromised, and we may be unable to effectively predict probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which would negatively impact our results of operations.

Our risk management efforts may not be effective.

We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted if we are unable to effectively identify, manage, monitor and mitigate financial risks, such as credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other market-related risk, as well as operational risks related to our business, assets and liabilities. To the extent our models used to assess the creditworthiness of potential members do not adequately identify potential risks, the credit scores we produce would not adequately represent the risk profile of such members and could result in higher risk than anticipated. Our risk management policies, procedures, and techniques, including our use of our proprietary credit scoring technology, may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks we are exposed to, mitigate the risks that we have identified or identify concentrations of risk or additional risks to which we may become subject in the future.

We have a history of losses and may not achieve consistent profitability in the future. In addition, if we continue to grow, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

Although we had shareholders equity of approximately $72 million as of December 31, 2025, we also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $354 million. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue levels in future periods to become profitable, and, even if we do so, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We intend to continue to expend significant funds to expand our marketing and sales operations, continue developing our products including further development of our platforms, increase our service and general product servicing capabilities, compensate our growing employee base, and expand into new markets. In addition, our provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, is based on our expectation of future loan losses related to our loans receivable. As we continue to grow our members and loans receivable, we expect the aggregate amount of this expense will also continue to grow.

Our historical growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. Our organizational structure is becoming more complex as we add additional staff, and we will need to improve our operational, financial, management and compliance controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this 20-F, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown

8


 

events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our publicly listed securities may significantly decrease.

Further, the circumstances that accelerated the growth of our business in prior years, including an extended period of general macroeconomic growth in Canada and the U.S., as well as growth in the financial services and technology industries in which we operate, have slowed in recent years and may not return in the future. Our membership grew from 2.2 million members as at December 31, 2024 to 2.3 million members as at December 31, 2025. We may experience declines in the growth of our business (or negative growth) as a result of a number of factors, including slowing demand for our products, insufficient growth in the number of customers that utilize our products, declines in the level of usage of our products by existing members, macroeconomic factors, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of our overall market or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities, including as a result of our inability to scale to meet such growth and economic conditions that could reduce financial activity and the maturation of our business, among others. If our growth rate declines, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

Carta's business is reliant on contracts with key customers operating in the payment industry.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our relationships with these clients or that these client relationships will result in increasing revenue. Given the B2B nature of Carta's operations, the number of clients that are potential users of the Carta platform is concentrated. Our largest clients may not be easily replaced and the loss of any one or more of such clients may have a material adverse impact on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. In addition, if we are unable to add new clients, we may not realize anticipated levels of growth in the future. While we expect this concentration of revenue to decrease over time, we may continue to depend upon a relatively small number of clients for a significant portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. The loss of a significant client or failure to attract new clients could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If capital is not available to us, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.

 

Since our founding, we have raised substantial equity and debt financing to support the growth of our business. Because we intend to continue to make investments to support the growth of our business, we may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, including increasing our marketing expenditures to improve our brand awareness, developing new products or services or further improving existing products and services, enhancing our operating infrastructure and acquiring complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. However, additional funds may not be available when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, our agreements with our lenders contain restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, and any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve further restrictive covenants which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Volatility in the credit markets may also have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain debt financing.

 

If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our Common Shares. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen

9


 

circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

 

If new products and platform enhancements do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our financial results and competitive position will be harmed.

 

We incur expenses and expend resources upfront to develop, acquire and market new products and platform enhancements to incorporate additional features, improve functionality or otherwise make our platform more desirable to our members. New product or platform enhancements must achieve high levels of market acceptance in order for us to recoup our investment in developing and bringing them to market.

 

Our products, and changes to our platforms could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including, without limitation, the following:

our failure to predict market demand accurately and supply products that meet this demand in a timely fashion;
members using our platforms may not like, find useful or agree with any changes;
defects, errors or failures in our platforms;
negative publicity about our products or our platforms' performance or effectiveness;
delays in releasing to the market new products or platform enhancements; and
the introduction or anticipated introduction of competing products by our competitors.

 

If our new products or platform enhancements do not achieve adequate acceptance in the market or if management decides not to proceed with the launch of new products or platform enhancements if it does not expect to achieve adequate acceptance in the market, our competitive position, revenue and operating results could be harmed. The adverse effect on our financial results may be particularly acute because of the significant development, marketing, sales and other expenses we will have incurred in connection with new products or enhancements.

 

We may not realize the expected benefits from acquisitions due to challenges associated with integrating the operations, technologies, and personnel of Orion Digital and the acquired companies.

 

Acquisitions, strategic investments, or partnerships could divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. The anticipated benefits of any acquisition, strategic investment, or partnership may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.

 

We may seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement our products and services or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential investments or acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not they are consummated. Any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures.

 

We may be required to issue equity or increase debt to acquire businesses which could dilute our shareholders or adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may suffer. Further, we may invest in companies that do not succeed, and our investments may lose all or some of their value, which result in us recording impairment charges reflected in of results of operations.

Our business is subject to extensive and evolving regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, all of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation.

Our business is subject to numerous federal, provincial and other local laws, ordinances and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which are subject to change and which may impose significant costs or limitations on the way we conduct or expand our business. As we develop and introduce new products and services, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations.

Future legislation or regulations may restrict our ability to continue our current methods of operation or expand our operations and may have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the price of our Common Shares. In addition, future legislation or regulations, or amendments to the existing regulatory regime, could require us to modify our platforms and processes, which may cause us to incur additional costs and lead to a reduction in revenue.

For example, our lending business activities are subject to section 347 of the Criminal Code, which prohibits the receipt of interest at a “criminal rate” (as defined therein). Following consultations on predatory lending conducted by the Department of Finance in August 2022, in 2023, the Canadian federal government introduced the Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No 1, to reduce the criminal rate of interest from 60% to 35%, and to replace an effective annual rate of interest calculation with an annual percentage rate of interest calculation. On January 1, 2025, these amendments came into force. However, the new criminal rate of interest does not apply in respect of any receipt of a payment or partial payment of interest that is interest at a criminal rate, if the payment arises from an agreement or arrangement to receive interest that was entered into before January 1, 2025 and the interest that arises from that agreement or arrangement would not have been at a criminal rate on the date it was entered into. In addition, the federal government has indicated it may further reduce the criminal rate of interest below 35% APR and a consultation on the further lowering of the criminal rate of interest closed on January 7, 2024. The Company continues to monitor developments in this area to ensure compliance with section 347 of the Criminal Code.

In addition to the criminal interest rate restrictions, certain of our MogoMoney products may be subject to new legislation and regulations respecting 'high-cost credit products' which have been implemented in certain provinces in which we operate. Provincial high-cost credit ("HCC") legislation has been implemented in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. HCC legislation, which is part of the broader provincial consumer protection regime in these provinces, imposes additional requirements, including licensing and disclosures, on lenders making loans above certain interest rate thresholds. We are currently licensed as an HCC lender in both provinces and comply with all regulatory requirements. We also continue to participate in the regulatory process, monitor the HCC landscape that continues to develop in other provinces. The Company will continue to ensure that its business complies with any HCC regulatory changes and is well positioned to respond to any enhanced disclosure requirements.

While we endeavor to operate our business model in compliance with the applicable provincial and federal laws, with respect to certain of our business models, the application of certain law may be subject to evolving interpretation and requirements. As such, there is a risk that regulatory bodies or consumers could assert that certain federal or provincial laws are applicable where we have determined that they are not, or that such laws apply to aspects of our business in a manner that we have not addressed. If it is determined that we have not complied with the requirements of applicable laws, we could be subject to civil actions for nullification of contracts, rebate of some or all payments made by members, and damages, or subject to sanctions, penalties, or other enforcement for violation of the laws, any of which outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

As a registrant and member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, IntelligentInvesting Securities Inc. is subject to extensive regulation in Canada.

 

IntelligentInvesting Securities Inc. (“IISI”) is registered as an investment dealer in each of the provinces and territories in Canada, and it is also a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization ("CIRO"). Compliance with many of the regulations applicable to IISI involves a number of risks, particularly in areas where applicable regulations may be subject to interpretation. In the event of non-compliance with an applicable regulation, securities regulators or CIRO may institute administrative or judicial proceedings that may result in censure, fine, civil penalties, issuance of cease-and-desist orders, deregistration or suspension of the non-compliant investment dealer or investment adviser, suspension or disqualification of the investment dealer's officers or employees, or other adverse consequences. The imposition of any such penalties or orders on IISI regardless of duration or any subsequent appellate results could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

If we do not maintain the capital levels required by CIRO, our business may be restricted and we may be subject to disciplinary or corrective actions.

CIRO has stringent rules regarding the maintenance of specific capital levels by investment dealers. CIRO sets minimum capital requirements that require firms to have enough capital for the type and scope of their business activities. This reduces the possibility of firm failure by preventing excessive leverage and risky business practices. CIRO monitors our financial condition, may conduct surprise on-site audits, and requires comprehensive financial reporting. We must have our financial statements audited annually by independent CIRO-approved accounting firms.

Failure to maintain the required capital levels could result in immediate business restrictions, suspension or expulsion by CIRO, limitations on our ability to expand our existing business or commence new businesses, and could ultimately lead to the termination of our investment dealer registration. If capital requirements are changed or expanded, if there is an unusually large charge against our capital, or if we make changes in our business operations that increase our capital requirements, operations that require intensive use of capital could be limited. A large operating loss or charge against capital could have adverse effects on our ability to maintain or expand our business.

Additionally, if we breach early warning thresholds established by CIRO, we may become subject to the Early Warning System, which imposes various business restrictions including potential requirements to deposit additional capital, restrictions on business expansion, and increased regulatory oversight. These restrictions could significantly impact our operations and profitability.

 

As a registered portfolio manager, investment fund manager and exempt market dealer, IntelligentInvesting Wealth Management Inc. is also subject to extensive regulation in Canada.

Intelligent Investing relies on IntelligentInvesting Wealth Management Inc. (“IIWMI”) to provide investment management services to its clients. IIWMI is registered as a portfolio manager, investment fund manager, and exempt market dealer. These registrations subject IIWMI to extensive regulatory requirements under applicable securities laws and regulations, as well as oversight by provincial and territorial securities regulators and the federal anti-money laundering regulator. Compliance with these regulatory frameworks presents numerous risks, particularly given the complexity and evolving nature of securities regulations and the interpretive discretion exercised by regulatory authorities.

Failure to maintain full compliance or disagreements regarding regulatory interpretation could result in administrative or judicial proceedings initiated by securities regulators. Such proceedings may lead to sanctions including, but not limited to, censure, monetary fines, civil penalties, suspension or revocation of

12


 

registrations, restrictions or prohibitions on business activities, suspension or disqualification of IIWMI's officers, directors, or employees, or other regulatory actions. The imposition of any such penalties, sanctions, or orders - regardless of their duration or the outcomes of any subsequent appeals - could significantly impair IIWMI's (and therefore Intelligent Investing’s) operations, financial performance, and reputation, and consequently, may have a material adverse effect on our overall business and financial condition.
 

Failure to comply with anti-money laundering, sanctions, and anti-terrorist financing laws could result in significant penalties and harm our business.

 

Our wealth management operations are subject to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), regulations administered by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC). These laws require us to maintain comprehensive compliance programs, including customer identification and verification procedures, transaction monitoring, suspicious transaction reporting, and recordkeeping. The regulatory expectations in this area continue to increase in scope and complexity, and enforcement activity has intensified. If we fail to maintain adequate compliance programs, or if our systems fail to detect or prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions violations, we could be subject to significant monetary penalties, criminal liability, regulatory enforcement actions, loss of licenses, or reputational damage. Any such failure could also result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our operation of a platform for independent portfolio managers exposes us to potential liability for advisor misconduct, compliance failures, and evolving regulatory expectations for investment management platforms.

Through Tactex, which is a division of IIWMI, we provide regulatory, technological, and operational infrastructure for independent portfolio managers. While these advisors operate their businesses independently, our role creates significant regulatory obligations and potential liability exposure. Canadian regulators may hold us accountable for inadequate supervision of advisors using our platform, even when those advisors exercise independent judgment. We may be subject to regulatory scrutiny regarding our due diligence processes for onboarding advisors, our ongoing monitoring of advisor activities, and our handling of potential compliance violations.

If portfolio managers using our platform engage in misconduct, provide unsuitable investment advice, misappropriate client funds, or violate securities regulations, we could face regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, financial penalties, and reputational damage, even if we were not directly involved in the misconduct. Additionally, clients who suffer investment losses may pursue claims against both the individual advisor and our company as the platform provider and registrant. The costs of defending such claims could be substantial, regardless of the ultimate outcome.

Maintaining the necessary registrations requires significant compliance resources and continuous adaptation to evolving regulatory expectations. Securities regulators are increasingly focused on digital platforms that facilitate investment management services, with evolving guidance on issues such as fee transparency, conflict-of-interest management, and know-your-client obligations. Any failure to meet these regulatory expectations could result in conditions being placed on our registrations, suspension or revocation of our registrations, or enforcement actions that could materially impact our ability to operate the Tactex business.

Furthermore, changes to capital requirements, insurance obligations, or proficiency standards for registered firms could increase our operational costs or require significant changes to our business model.

If we are unable to effectively manage these regulatory risks or if the cost of compliance becomes prohibitive, we may need to modify or discontinue certain services offered through our Tactex platform, potentially affecting our growth strategy and financial performance in this business segment.

The loss of one or more investment advisors managing significant assets on our wealth management platform could materially reduce our assets under management and revenue.

 

A portion of the assets under management on our wealth management platform is managed by a limited number of investment advisors. The loss of any advisor managing a significant portfolio, whether due to termination, regulatory action, departure to a competitor, retirement, or dissatisfaction with our platform, could result in a meaningful decline in our assets under management and associated fee revenue. We may not be able to replace a departing advisor or retain the underlying client assets, particularly if clients have a primary relationship with the advisor rather than with our platform. A significant reduction in assets under management could also affect our ability to attract new advisors and clients, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our business may be adversely affected by material changes to the interest rate charged to our members and paid to our lenders.

 

We earn a substantial portion of our revenues from interest payments on the loans we make to our members. Various financial institutions and other funding sources provide, and may in the future provide, us with the capital to fund these term loans and lines of credit and charge us interest on funds that we draw down. In the event that the spread between the rate at which we lend to our members and the rate at which we borrow from our lenders decreases, our financial results and operating performance will be harmed.

 

There are a variety of factors that could affect the interest rates we charge to our members and which we pay to our lenders, such as access to capital based on our business performance, the volume of loans we make to our members, competition with other lenders, regulatory requirements. These interest rates may also be affected by variations to the types of products we sell to our members and investors over time and a shift among our channels of member acquisition. Interest rate changes may adversely affect our business forecasts and expectations and are highly sensitive to many macroeconomic factors beyond our control, such as inflation, recession, the state of the credit markets, changes in market interest rates, global economic disruptions, unemployment and the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies. Any material reduction in our interest rate spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our debt financing sources are highly concentrated, and we may not be able to access additional sources of funding on reasonable terms or at all.

 

We have obtained debt financing from a limited number of lenders. Our reliance on the Credit Facility for a significant amount of our funding exposes us to funding concentration risks. If the lender were to terminate or decline to renew the Credit Facility, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay the outstanding balance or to fund ongoing lending operations, which could require us to significantly curtail or cease certain business activities or have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the Credit Facility must be renewed on a periodic basis. If we were unable to renew the Credit Facility on acceptable terms when it became due or if the lender imposed materially more restrictive terms, higher borrowing costs, or reduced availability as a condition of renewal, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. There can be no assurance that alternative sources of debt financing would be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, in the event that the Credit Facility is terminated or not renewed. Our ability to secure alternative financing may be further constrained by

14


 

prevailing credit market conditions, our financial performance, and our credit profile at the time such financing is sought.

Our agreements with our lenders contain a number of early payment triggers and covenants, including at the portfolio level. A breach of such triggers or covenants or other terms of such agreements could result in an early amortization, default, or acceleration of the maturity date which could materially impact our operations.

Primary funding sources available to support the maintenance and growth of our business include, among others, the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains restrictions on the Company's ability to, among other things, pay dividends, sell or transfer assets, incur additional debt, repay other debt, make certain investments or acquisitions, repurchase or redeem shares, and engage in alternate business activities. The Credit Facility also contains a number of covenants that require the Company to maintain certain specified financial ratios. Description of these covenants, requirements and events are set out in the Credit Facility agreement.

 

During the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, for example, principal collections from our consumer loans would be applied to repay principal under the Credit Facility rather than being available on a revolving basis to fund newly originated loans. During the occurrence of an event of default under any of our debt, including debt owing under the Credit Facility, debt owing to the holders of debentures issued by the Company or debt owing to future facilities we may enter into, the applicable lender could accelerate the repayment of our debt and the lender's commitments to extend further credit would terminate. If we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under our debt when due, the applicable lender could seek remedies, including against the collateral pledged as security for such debt.

An event of default or other event requiring early repayment of the Credit Facility would negatively impact our liquidity, including our ability to originate new loans, and require us to rely on alternative funding sources, which might increase our funding costs or which might not be available when needed. If we were unable to arrange new or alternative methods of financing on favorable terms, we might have to curtail the origination of loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations under our facility.

 

Our levels of indebtedness can have negative implications for our shareholders.

 

We have, and anticipate having, a significant amount of indebtedness, which totaled approximately $51.7 million on our Credit Facility and $31.9 million in outstanding debentures as of December 31, 2025. Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our funding debt will depend on our future operating performance and our ability to enter into additional debt and equity financings, which to a certain extent, is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If, in the future, we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance and any additional equity financing would result in the dilution of shareholders.

 

Our substantial indebtedness could have significant consequences to shareholders, such as the inability to satisfy our obligations under the Credit Facility and increased vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions. We may find it more difficult to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes or other purposes and we would have to allocate a substantial portion of our cash resources to the payment on our indebtedness, which would reduce the funds available for operations and for distribution to shareholders.

We and our partners obtain, store and process a large amount of sensitive data. Any real or perceived improper or unauthorized use of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm our reputation as a trusted brand, as well as have a material and adverse effect on our business.

 

We and our third-party partners and service providers, including third-party data centers that we use, obtain and process large amounts of sensitive data, including our members' personal and credit information and other sensitive data relating to our members and their transactions. We face risks, including to our reputation as a trusted brand, in the handling and protection of this data, and these risks will increase as our business continues to expand to include new products and technologies.

 

We have administrative, technical, and physical security measures in place, and we have policies and procedures in place to contractually require third parties to whom we transfer data to implement and maintain appropriate security measures. However, if our security measures or those of the previously mentioned third parties are inadequate or are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, malware, phishing, hacking attacks, system error, trickery, or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to funds, or sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, on our systems or our partners' systems, or if we suffer a ransomware or advanced persistent threat attack, or if any of the foregoing is reported or perceived to have occurred, our reputation and business could be damaged. Any perceived or actual breach of security, regardless of how it occurs or the extent of the breach, could have a significant impact on our reputation as a trusted brand, cause us to lose existing members, prevent us from obtaining new members, require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by breaches and to implement measures to prevent further breaches, cease operations, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability including those resulting from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation and costs associated with remediation, such as fraud monitoring. Any actual or perceived security breach at a company providing services to us or our customers could have similar effects.

 

The collection, processing, storage, use, and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights.

We receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other sensitive data from members. There are federal, provincial and foreign laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and sensitive data. Specifically, personally identifiable information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted. Any violations of these laws and regulations may require us to change our business practices or operational structure, address legal claims and sustain monetary penalties or other harms to our business.

While we have policies and procedures in place to protect personally identifiable information and other sensitive data of our members that comply with applicable laws, the regulatory framework for privacy issues in Canada and Europe is constantly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. The interpretation and application of such laws is often uncertain, and such laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner inconsistent with our current policies and practices or require changes to the features of our platforms. If either we or our third-party service providers are unable to address any privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable laws and regulations, it could result in additional costs and liability, damage our reputation and harm our business.

Cybersecurity incidents and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

 

16


 

Cybersecurity incidents and other issues related to our information systems, technology and data may materially and adversely affect us. Cybersecurity incidents and cyberattacks have been occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in the future. The digital finance industry is a particular target for cybersecurity incidents, which may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by individuals or groups having authorized or unauthorized access to our systems or our members' or counterparties' information, which may include confidential information. These individuals or groups include employees, vendors and customers, as well as hackers. The information and technology systems used by us and our third-party partners and service providers are vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among other things: hacking, ransomware, malware and other computer viruses; denial of service attacks; network failures; computer and telecommunication failures; phishing attacks; infiltration by unauthorized persons; security breaches; usage errors by their respective professionals; power outages; terrorism; and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.

 

We may experience cybersecurity incidents in the future. While we take efforts to protect our systems and data, including establishing internal processes and implementing technological measures designed to provide multiple layers of security, and contract with third-party partners and service providers to take similar steps, there can be no assurance that our safety and security measures (and those of our third-party partners and service providers) will prevent damage to, or interruption or breach of, our information systems, data (including personal data) and operations. We may be required to expend significant resources to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

 

Nevertheless, it is possible we could suffer an impact or disruption that could materially and adversely affect us. Our operational infrastructure may be breached due to the actions of outside parties, error or malfeasance of our employees, or otherwise, and, as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to our members' personally identifiable information and other sensitive data. Additionally, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce our employees to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our infrastructure. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, or may be designed to remain dormant until a predetermined event, and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures.

 

Controls employed by our information technology department and our third-party partners and service providers, including cloud vendors, could prove inadequate. If an actual or perceived breach of any of our information systems occurs, the market perception of our effectiveness could be harmed. Moreover, there could be public announcements regarding any cybersecurity-related incidents and any steps we take to respond to or remediate such incidents, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these announcements to be negative, it could, among other things, have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Common Shares.

 

As we rely on our third-party partners and service providers for our operations, the risk of cybersecurity attacks and loss, corruption, or unauthorized access to or publication of our information or the confidential information and personal data of members and employees may be more acute. Third-party risks may include insufficient security measures, data location uncertainty, and the possibility of data storage in inappropriate jurisdictions where laws, security measures or other controls may be inadequate or in which there are uncertainties regarding governmental intervention and use of such data, and our ability to monitor our third-party partners' and service providers' data security practices are limited. Although we generally have agreements relating to cybersecurity and data privacy in place with our third-party service providers, they are limited in nature and we cannot guarantee that such agreements will prevent the accidental or unauthorized access to or disclosure, loss, destruction, disablement or encryption of, use or misuse of or modification of data (including personal data) or enable us to obtain adequate or any reimbursement from

17


 

our third-party partners or service providers in the event we should suffer any such incidents. Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for any information security failure or cybersecurity attack attributed to our third-party partners and service providers as they relate to the information we share with them. A vulnerability in or related to a third-party partner or service provider's software or systems, a failure of our third-party partners' or service providers' safeguards, policies or procedures, or a breach of a third-party partner or service provider's software or systems could result in the compromise of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our systems or the data housed in our third-party platforms.

 

The security of the information and technology systems used by us and our service providers may continue to be subjected to cybersecurity threats that could result in material failures or disruptions in our business. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, we or a service provider may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in operations and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to shareholders (and the beneficial owners of shareholders). Such a failure could harm our reputation, subject to legal claims and otherwise materially and adversely affect our investment and trading strategies and our value.

 

It may be difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

 

The success of our platforms depend, in part, upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, suppliers and other third parties to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We currently do not have any issued patents.

 

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights.

 

Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our brand and adversely affect our business.

 

We may face claims by third parties for alleged infringement of their intellectual property rights, which could harm our business.

 

Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights. Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Although we have developed most of our platforms, we do include third-party software in our platforms. In these cases, this software is licensed from the entity holding the intellectual property rights. Although we believe that we have secured proper licenses for all third-party software that is integrated into our platforms, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Any such assertion may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties. Such licenses may not be available, or they may not be available on reasonable terms. In addition, such litigation could be disruptive to our ability to generate revenue or enter into new market opportunities and may result in significantly

18


 

increased costs as a result of our defense against those claims or our attempt to license the intellectual property rights or rework our platforms to ensure they comply with judicial decisions. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Any of the foregoing could have a significant adverse effect on our business and operating results as well as our ability to generate future revenue.

 

Some aspects of our platforms include open-source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could negatively affect our business.

 

We incorporate open-source software into our proprietary platforms and into other processes supporting our business. Such open-source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License. The terms of various open-source licenses have not been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of the platforms and negatively affects our business operations. Some open-source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open-source software we use. If portions of our proprietary platforms are determined to be subject to an open-source license, or if the license terms for the open-source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our platforms or change our business activities. In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of open-source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of the software. Many of the risks associated with the use of open-source software cannot be eliminated, and could adversely affect our business.

 

If our software contains serious errors or defects, we may lose revenue and market acceptance.

 

Software developed for our proprietary platforms often contains errors, defects, security vulnerabilities or software bugs that are difficult to detect and correct, particularly when first introduced. Despite internal testing, our platforms may contain serious errors or defects, security vulnerabilities or software bugs that we may be unable to successfully correct in a timely manner or at all, which could result in lost revenue, significant expenditures of capital and damage to our reputation and brand, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Since the software we use is a critical component to our proprietary platforms, errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, service interruptions or software bugs in our platforms could result in inappropriate loan decisioning and corresponding credit scores or interest rates or outages that could affect our ability to process some customers' transactions on our wealth platform.

 

Operating risk and insurance coverage.

 

The Company has insurance to protect its assets, operations and employees. While the Company believes its insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which it is exposed and is adequate and customary in its current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Company is exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Company's liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Company were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

19


 

Our success and future growth depend in part on our successful marketing efforts and increased brand awareness. Failure to effectively use our brand to convert sales may negatively affect our growth and our financial performance.

We believe that an important component of our growth will be continued market penetration through our digital marketing channel. To achieve this growth, we anticipate relying heavily on marketing and advertising to increase the visibility of our brands with potential members. The goal of this marketing and advertising is to increase the strength, recognition and trust in the Orion Digital and Intelligent Investing brands, and drive more unique visitors to open accounts and access our products. We incurred $4.1 million of marketing expenses in the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our business model relies on our ability to scale rapidly and to decrease incremental member acquisition costs as we grow. If we are unable to recover our marketing costs through increases in website traffic and in our conversion rates, or if we discontinue our broad marketing campaigns, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth, results of operations and financial condition.

Member complaints or negative publicity could result in a decline in our member growth and our business could suffer.

Our reputation is very important to attracting new members to the lending and wealth platforms as well as securing repeat lending to existing members and retaining wealth management clients. While we believe that we have a good reputation and that we provide our members with a superior experience, there can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain a good relationship with our members or avoid negative publicity. Any damage to our reputation, whether arising from our conduct of business, negative publicity, regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions, matters affecting our financial reporting or compliance with securities regulatory authorities and TSX and Nasdaq requirements, security breaches or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Any misconduct or errors by our employees and third-party service providers could harm our business and reputation.

 

We are exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of misconduct and errors by our employees and third-party service providers. Our business depends on our employees and third-party service providers to process a large number of increasingly complex transactions, including transactions that involve significant dollar amounts and loan transactions that involve the use and disclosure of personal and business information. We could be materially adversely affected if transactions are redirected, misappropriated or otherwise improperly executed, if personal and business information is disclosed to unintended recipients or if an operational breakdown or failure in the processing of other transactions occurs, whether as a result of human error, a purposeful sabotage or by means of a fraudulent manipulation of our operations or systems. In addition, the manner in which we store and use certain personal information and interact with members is governed by various federal and provincial laws. If any of our employees or third-party service providers take, convert or misuse funds, documents or data or fail to follow our protocol when interacting with members, we could be liable for damages and subject to regulatory actions and penalties. As a result, we could also be perceived to have facilitated or participated in illegal misappropriation of funds, documents or data, or failed to have followed protocol, and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or errors by employees or third-party service providers, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent such activities may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. Any of these occurrences could result in our diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to our members, inability to attract future members, reputational damage, regulatory intervention and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

20


 

Our business depends on our ability to collect payments and service the products we make available to our members.

 

We rely on banks and services providers to facilitate funds transfers within our customer accounts, including among other things, the disbursement of proceeds of newly originated loans to our members and the collection of payments from members. As we are not a bank, we do not have the ability to directly access the electronic funds transfer payment network, and must therefore rely on a service provider to process our transactions. If we cannot continue to obtain such services from our current institution, service provider or elsewhere, or if we cannot transition to another processor quickly, our ability to process transactions will suffer.

 

We rely on third-party partners, service providers and systems to deliver our products and services and perform key functions. Any disruption of service by such third parties could interrupt or delay our ability to deliver our products and service to our members.

 

We rely on third-party partners, service providers and systems, including internet service providers, payment services providers, market and third-party data providers, regulatory services providers, clearing systems, market makers, exchange systems, banking systems, payment gateways that link us to the payment card and bank clearing networks to process transactions, co-location facilities, communications facilities, cloud-based and traditional data center facilities, and other third-party facilities, to deliver our products and services, run our platform, facilitate trades by our customers, and support or carry out some regulatory obligations, including with respect to the provision of our products and services, account verification, credit decisioning and transaction processing. In addition, external content providers provide us with financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, research reports, and other fundamental data that we provide to our customers.

 

The continuous availability of our service depends on the continued operations of these third-party partners, service providers and facilities. These providers are susceptible to processing, operational, technological and security vulnerabilities, including security breaches, which might impact our business, and our ability to monitor our third-party service providers' data security is limited. We depend on the ability of our third-party partners and service providers to protect their operations and facilities against damage or interruption from security breaches, natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, criminal acts and similar events. Any failures by our third-party service providers that result in an interruption in service, unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction of data or other similar occurrences could interrupt our business, cause us to incur losses, result in decreased customer satisfaction and increase customer attrition, subject us to customer complaints, significant fines, litigation, disputes, claims, regulatory investigations or other inquiries and harm our reputation. Regulators might also hold us responsible for the failures of our providers.

 

In addition, these third-party service providers might rely on subcontractors to provide services to us that face similar risks. We face a risk that our third-party service providers might be unable or unwilling to continue to provide these services to meet our current needs in an efficient, cost-effective manner or to expand their services to meet our needs in the future.

 

We designed our system infrastructure and procure and own or lease the computer hardware used for our services. Design and mechanical errors, failure to follow operations protocols and procedures could cause our systems to fail, resulting in interruptions in our platforms. Any such interruptions or delays, whether as a result of third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm our relationships with members and cause our revenue to decrease or our expenses to increase. Also, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately

21


 

compensate us for any losses that we may incur. These factors in turn could further reduce our revenue and subject us to liability, which could materially adversely affect our business.

 

Our reliance on third-party platforms for distribution of our mobile applications exposes us to policy changes, fee increases, and potential service disruptions beyond our control.

We rely significantly on third-party platforms, particularly Apple's App Store and Google Play, to distribute our mobile applications to customers. These platform providers have broad discretion to change their terms of service and other policies, including fee structures, payment processing systems, and content or technical requirements. Such changes could increase our operating costs, reduce our profit margins, or affect our ability to deliver services to customers. These platforms may also limit our access to customer data, impose authentication requirements that impair user experience, or restrict our ability to communicate with customers. Additionally, if our applications are found to violate platform policies, they could be removed from these stores, significantly impairing our ability to acquire and service customers. We have limited ability to negotiate terms with these platform providers or to rapidly migrate our customer base to alternative distribution channels if necessary. Any prolonged disruption in the availability of our applications on these platforms could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We face increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

 

We compete with other companies that provide financial services to individuals. These traditional financial institutions include banks, credit unions, credit card issuers and other consumer finance companies. In addition, other technology companies may begin to focus, or may in the future focus, their efforts on targeting millennials.

 

In some cases, some competitors may offer a broader range of financial products to our members, and some competitors may offer a specialized set of specific products or services. Many of these competitors have significantly more resources and greater brand recognition than we do and may be able to attract customers more effectively than we do.

 

When new competitors seek to enter one of our markets, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market share, they sometimes undercut the pricing or credit terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share or ability to exploit new market opportunities. Our pricing and credit terms could deteriorate if we act to meet these competitive challenges. All of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future growth.

 

If the information provided by members to us is incorrect or fraudulent, we may misjudge a member's qualification to receive a loan and our operating results may be harmed.

 

Our lending decisions are based partly on information provided to us by loan applicants. To the extent that these applicants provide information to us in a manner that we are unable to verify, our credit model may not accurately reflect the associated risk. In addition, data provided by third-party sources is a significant component of our credit model, and this data may contain inaccuracies. Inaccurate analysis of credit data that could result from false loan application information could harm our reputation, business and operating results.

 

We also use identity and fraud check analyzing data provided by external databases to authenticate each member's identity. There is a risk, however, that these checks could fail, and fraud may occur. We may not be able to recoup funds underlying loans made in connection with inaccurate statements, omissions of fact or fraud, in which case our revenue, operating results and profitability will be harmed. Fraudulent activity

22


 

or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, negatively impact our operating results, brand and reputation and require us to take steps to reduce fraud risk, which could increase our costs.

 

We rely on our management team and need additional key personnel to grow our business, and the loss of key employees or inability to hire key personnel could harm our business.

 

We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our executives and employees, including David Feller, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and Gregory Feller, our President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. In addition, the loss of any of our senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and strategy, and despite maintaining a comprehensive succession plan, we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees.

 

Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees whom we need to support our business.

 

Competition for highly skilled engineering and data analytics personnel is extremely intense, and we continue to face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in many areas of our business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates making employment decisions, specifically in high-technology industries, often consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their employment. Any significant volatility in the price of our Common Shares may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical, financial and marketing personnel.

 

In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our members could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business.

 

If we cannot maintain our corporate culture, we could lose valuable qualities from our workforce.

We believe that our corporate culture is a critical component of our success, which we believe fosters innovation, encourages teamwork and cultivates creativity. As we evolve, we may find it difficult to maintain these valuable aspects of our corporate culture. Failure to preserve our corporate culture could negatively impact our future success, including our ability to attract and retain employees, encourage innovation and teamwork and effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives.

 

Litigation may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

Our business is subject to the risk of litigation by employees, members, consumers, suppliers, competitors, shareholders, government agencies, or others through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits, regulatory actions and intellectual property claims, is difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to these lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In addition,

23


 

certain of these lawsuits, if decided adversely to us or settled by us, may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend future litigation may be significant. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect consumer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actively managing our investment portfolio.

In managing our investment portfolio, we may from time to time take a position as an activist investor and advocate for changes to corporate governance practices, such as management and board composition, executive compensation practices, social issues and other corporate actions. If a proxy contest results from our actions as an activist investor or otherwise, our business could be adversely affected because engaging in proxy contests and other investor activist actions can be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the attention of management. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to the future of the strategic direction of any of our investments may result in a loss to the value of such investments, which could negatively impact our financial condition.

United States investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against the Company.

 

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal or state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is governed by the BCBCA, that the majority of the Company's officers and directors are residents of Canada, and that all, or a substantial portion of their assets and a portion of the Company's assets, are located outside the United States. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on certain of its directors and officers or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against the Company or certain of the Company's directors and officers based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

 

If we become a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for United States federal income tax purposes, certain adverse tax rules may apply to U.S. Holders of our Common Shares.

Based on the market price of our Common Shares and the composition of our income and assets, including goodwill, we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year ending December 31, 2025. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year, and the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects. Moreover, the value of our assets for the purposes of the PFIC determination will generally be determined by reference to the market price of our Common Shares, which could fluctuate significantly. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we are not a PFIC for the current taxable year or will not be classified as a PFIC in the future.

We will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year for United States federal income tax purposes if either (i) 75% or more of our gross income in that taxable year is passive income or (ii) the average percentage of our assets by value in that taxable year which produce or are held for the production of passive income (which includes cash) is at least 50%.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a beneficial owner of Common Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or another entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of

24


 

its source, or (iv) a trust that (A) is subject to the supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or (B) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a "U.S. Holder") holds Common Shares, such U.S. Holders could be subject to adverse United States federal income tax consequences whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. For example, U.S. Holders may become subject to increased tax liabilities under United States federal income tax laws and regulations and will become subject to burdensome reporting requirements. If we are a PFIC during which a U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, such U.S. Holder may be able to make a "mark-to-market" election or a "qualified electing fund" election that could mitigate the adverse United States federal income tax consequences that would otherwise apply to such U.S. Holder. Although upon request of a U.S. Holder, we will provide the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make the qualified election, no assurance can be given that such information will be available for any lower-tier PFIC that we do not control.

 

International conflicts and other geopolitical tensions may impact the Company’s business.

 

International conflicts and other geopolitical tensions and events, including war (such as the recent US-Israel-Iran conflict (impacting the wider Middle East) that escalated in late February 2026 and remains ongoing), military action, terrorism, trade disputes, and international responses, including sanctions or other actions, thereto have historically led to, and may in the future lead to, uncertainty or volatility in global financial markets. Continuing or escalating geopolitical tensions may, among other consequences, have a destabilizing effect on global economies and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could have, a broad impact across industries and the economy, including impacts on our operations and our employees, partners and members. At the onset of an epidemic, pandemic or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus, governments and regulatory bodies in affected areas may impose a number of measures designed to contain the outbreak, including business closures, social distancing protocols, travel restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on gatherings and events. Future disruptions arising from a new pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, as well as required disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to produce timely and accurate consolidated financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules of the SEC require, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop could become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, changes in accounting principles or interpretations could also challenge our internal controls and require that we establish new business processes, systems and controls to accommodate such changes. If these new systems, controls or standards and the associated process changes do not give rise to the benefits that we expect or do not operate as intended, it could adversely affect our financial reporting systems and processes, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial reports or the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, our business might be harmed if we experience problems with

25


 

any new systems and controls that result in delays in their implementation or increased costs to correct any postimplementation issues that might arise. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our business or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and could result in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to design, develop or maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in implementing, improving or remediation lapses in internal controls may affect our ability to prevent fraud, detect material misstatements, and fulfill our reporting obligations. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting could harm our business, cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our reported financial and other information, and result in us becoming subject to investigations by the stock exchanges on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, any of which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we might not be able to remain listed on the Nasdaq.

 

Cost-cutting may adversely affect our business.

 

In response to challenging macroeconomic conditions, we have taken aggressive cost-cutting steps to accelerate the path to profitability and make us a more efficient company. There can be no guarantee that these cost-cutting measures will be successful. We face a risk that our cost-cutting measures negatively impact our ability to attract and retain talent, maintain product quality, invest in innovation, or respond to competitive pressures. Cost-cutting steps, if managed incorrectly, may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects or our ability to expand our business.

 

Our insurance coverage might be inadequate or expensive.

 

While we may have insurance to protect our assets, operations, and employees, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which we are exposed. No assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover our liabilities or that it will be available in the future or at all, and that it will be commercially justifiable. We may be subject to liability for risks against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure due to the high cost of insurance premiums or other factors. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce the funds available for our normal business activities. Payment of liabilities for which we do not carry insurance may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations.

 

Our flexible remote working model subjects us to heightened operational risks.

We have a flexible remote work policy, under which a large segment of our employees are not required to come into the office on a daily basis. Allowing our employees to work remotely subjects us to heightened operational risks. There is no guarantee that the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter risks associated with employees accessing company data and systems remotely. We also face challenges due to the need to operate with a dispersed and remote workforce, as well as increased costs related to business continuity initiatives. Our flexible remote working model may make it more difficult for us to preserve our corporate culture of innovation and our employees might have decreased opportunities to collaborate in meaningful ways. Further, we cannot guarantee that having a large portion of our workforce continuing to work remotely will not have a negative impact on employee morale or productivity. Any failure to overcome the challenges presented by our flexible remote work policy could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit

26


 

personnel, innovate and operate effectively, maintain product development velocity, and execute on our business strategy.

Our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies may subject us to operational, regulatory, and reputational risks that could adversely affect our business.

We increasingly rely on artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning technologies in various aspects of our business, including credit decisioning, fraud detection, customer service, and product recommendations. The use of these technologies presents several risks that could materially impact our operations, financial condition, and reputation. Our AI models may produce erroneous outputs due to faulty data inputs, algorithmic bias, or technical limitations, which could lead to inappropriate credit decisions, discriminatory outcomes, or regulatory violations. Despite our efforts to test and validate these systems, the complex nature of AI technologies makes it difficult to identify and address all potential flaws or biases. If our AI systems make decisions that are perceived as unfair, biased, or discriminatory, we could face regulatory scrutiny, legal claims, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. The regulatory landscape governing AI is rapidly evolving, with new laws and regulations being proposed or enacted in various jurisdictions. These regulations may impose new requirements related to transparency, explainability, human oversight, data usage, and algorithmic accountability. Compliance with these emerging regulations may require significant resources and technical modifications to our systems. Failure to comply with current or future AI regulations could result in penalties, restrictions on our business activities, or increased regulatory scrutiny. We may face challenges in explaining or justifying AI-driven decisions to customers, regulators, or other stakeholders due to the inherent complexity and opacity of certain AI systems. This "black box" problem could hinder our ability to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws and regulations, particularly in areas such as fair lending and privacy. Our AI systems depend on high-quality data for training and operation. If the data used to train or operate these systems contains errors, biases, or is otherwise compromised, the resulting outputs could be flawed, potentially leading to operational inefficiencies, customer dissatisfaction, or regulatory issues. We may rely on third-party AI technologies or services, which could introduce additional risks related to data security, system reliability, and vendor management. If these third-party providers experience service disruptions, security breaches, or compliance failures, our operations could be adversely affected. As AI technologies continue to advance, we may face intellectual property challenges related to the development, acquisition, or use of AI systems. Additionally, the use of open-source AI components may create licensing compliance risks or unexpected limitations on our proprietary rights. The integration of AI into our cybersecurity infrastructure may create new vulnerabilities or attack vectors that could be exploited by malicious actors. Conversely, sophisticated AI-powered cyber threats may become more difficult to detect and mitigate, potentially increasing our exposure to data breaches or system compromises. If we are unable to effectively manage the risks associated with AI technologies, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation could be materially and adversely affected.

Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may lead to labor market displacement that adversely affects our members and our loan portfolio.

 

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and automation technologies across industries may result in significant changes to the labor market, including job displacement, wage suppression, and structural unemployment in certain sectors. If AI adoption leads to increased unemployment or reduced income levels among our members or prospective members, we could experience higher loan default rates, increased credit losses, reduced demand for our lending products, and lower member engagement across our platforms. These effects may be particularly pronounced among the younger, digitally-oriented demographic that forms a significant portion of our member base, as entry-level and mid-career roles in certain sectors face heightened displacement risk. In addition, AI-driven changes to the labor market could reduce consumer confidence and discretionary savings, which may adversely affect demand for our wealth

27


 

management products. The pace and scope of AI-driven labor market disruption are difficult to predict, and we may not be able to adjust our credit models, product offerings, or risk management strategies quickly enough to account for these shifts. Any material deterioration in the employment or financial condition of our members as a result of AI-related labor market changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Evolving regulations governing cross-border data transfers may impair our ability to operate efficiently across international boundaries.

Our operations, particularly through our Carta subsidiary, involve the transfer of customer and operational data across international borders. Regulatory frameworks governing data transfers are rapidly evolving and increasingly restrictive in many jurisdictions. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Canada's proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act, and similar regulations in other jurisdictions impose strict requirements on cross-border data transfers. Compliance with these requirements often necessitates complex legal mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or adequacy decisions, which are subject to ongoing legal challenges and regulatory changes. Court decisions invalidating prior transatlantic data transfer frameworks, and the ongoing legal and political uncertainty surrounding the current EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, have created significant uncertainty regarding the long-term viability of compliant data transfer mechanisms. If we are unable to transfer data between jurisdictions due to regulatory changes or the invalidation of transfer mechanisms, we may need to implement costly data localization measures, redesign our technical infrastructure, or limit our service offerings in certain regions. Any failure to comply with cross-border data transfer regulations could result in substantial fines, regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, and reputational damage.

 

Maintaining compliance with both Canadian and U.S. securities regulations creates additional costs, complexities, and risks.

As a company dual-listed on the TSX and Nasdaq, we are subject to securities laws and regulations in both Canada and the United States, which imposes additional compliance burdens and costs. These dual regulatory regimes sometimes contain differing or even conflicting requirements regarding corporate governance, disclosure obligations, internal controls, and financial reporting. Compliance with these varying requirements necessitates additional legal, accounting, and administrative resources. The costs associated with dual-listing compliance, including legal fees, accounting costs, listing fees, and additional personnel, are substantial and ongoing. Any failure to comply with the requirements of either regulatory regime could result in delisting, regulatory penalties, shareholder litigation, and reputational damage. Additionally, changes to securities laws or regulations in either jurisdiction may require us to modify our compliance programs, governance practices, or disclosure controls, potentially increasing our compliance costs and diverting management attention from operational activities.

The implementation of open banking frameworks may alter competitive dynamics, create integration challenges, and impose new security and compliance obligations.

Various jurisdictions, including Canada, are developing or implementing open banking or consumer-directed finance frameworks that would require financial institutions to securely share customer data with authorized third parties at the customer's direction. The Department of Finance Canada has proposed an open banking framework that, if implemented, could impact our business model and competitive position. These initiatives may create opportunities for us to access customer data from traditional financial institutions, but also pose risks as they may lower barriers to entry for new competitors, potentially commoditizing certain aspects of our services. Implementation of open banking will likely require substantial investments in API development, security enhancements, and compliance systems. We may face

28


 

technical challenges integrating with various financial institutions' systems, each with potentially different standards and specifications. Additionally, open banking frameworks typically impose strict requirements regarding data security, customer consent management, and liability allocation, creating new compliance obligations and potential sources of liability. If we are unable to effectively adapt to open banking environments, we may lose market share to competitors who more successfully leverage these frameworks.

 

Our recent corporate name change from Mogo Inc. to Orion Digital Corp. may not achieve its intended benefits and could adversely affect our business.

 

On December 29, 2025, we changed our corporate name from Mogo Inc. to Orion Digital Corp. and began trading under the ticker symbol "ORIO" on January 2, 2026. While we believe the rebrand better reflects our evolution toward a multi-platform digital financial infrastructure business, the name change involves significant risks. We have built brand recognition and goodwill under the "Mogo" name over many years, and the transition to "Orion Digital" may result in confusion among existing members, partners, and investors. There can be no assurance that the new brand will achieve the same level of recognition or positive association as the prior brand. The rebrand also involves substantial costs, including updating marketing materials, digital properties, contractual and regulatory documentation, and product-level branding. Delays or inconsistencies in executing the rebrand across our platforms and subsidiaries could create further confusion and reputational risk. If the rebrand fails to resonate with our target markets, or if we experience customer attrition or reduced investor interest during the transition, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our investment portfolio is subject to significant valuation risk, illiquidity, and concentration, which could result in further write-downs and materially affect our financial condition.

 

We hold an investment portfolio consisting of approximately 19 investments in private and public companies and bitcoin ETFs, which was valued at approximately $21 million as of December 31, 2025. Many of these investments are in early-stage or growth-stage companies with limited operating histories, and in the case of private company investments, there is no liquid public market for these securities. The fair value of our portfolio is subject to significant volatility and may decline due to factors beyond our control, including changes in market conditions, the financial performance of portfolio companies, adverse developments in the digital asset markets, and broader macroeconomic trends. We have experienced material declines in the value of our portfolio in prior periods, and there can be no assurance that we will not experience further impairments. In addition, we may be unable to realize the carrying value of our investments upon disposition due to market illiquidity, contractual restrictions on transfer, or a lack of willing buyers. Any material decline in the value of our investment portfolio, or an inability to liquidate investments at acceptable prices, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The price of the Common Shares in public markets may experience significant fluctuations.

 

The market price for the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including but not limited to: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations; actual or anticipated fluctuations to the capital requirements of our properties; changes in estimates of our future results of operations by us; release or expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on outstanding common shares; and price and volume fluctuations in the trading of the Common Shares and in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole.

 

Financial markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of public entities and that have, in many cases, been unrelated

29


 

to the performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such entities. Accordingly, the market price of the common shares may decline even if our business, financial condition and results of operations or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. As well, certain institutional investors may base their investment decisions on consideration of our environmental, governance and social practices and performance against such institutions’ respective investment guidelines and criteria, and failure to satisfy such criteria may result in limited or no investment in the Common Shares by those institutions, which could materially adversely affect the trading price of the Common Shares. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue for a protracted period of time, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares could also be materially adversely affected.

 

 

We are subject to risks related to fraudulent activity targeting our digital platforms, which could result in financial losses, regulatory action, and reputational harm.

 

Our digital lending, payments, and wealth management platforms could be targets for various types of fraud, including application fraud (where individuals use stolen, synthetic, or falsified identities to obtain loans or open accounts), transaction fraud (including unauthorized payments, chargebacks, and merchant fraud within our Carta payments platform), and account takeover (where bad actors gain unauthorized access to member accounts). The volume and sophistication of fraud attempts targeting digital financial services companies have increased in recent years, driven in part by the availability of stolen personal data, advances in social engineering techniques, and the use of artificial intelligence tools to generate convincing fraudulent applications and communications. Our fraud detection and prevention systems, which rely on a combination of automated rules, machine learning models, and manual review, may not identify all fraudulent activity in a timely manner, or at all. When fraud is not detected before a transaction is completed or a loan is funded, we may bear the resulting financial loss and may be unable to recover the funds. In addition, fraud-related losses in our Carta payments business could damage our relationships with payment network partners and clients. If we are unable to maintain effective fraud prevention and detection measures, or if we experience a significant increase in fraud-related losses, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our mobile applications depend on third-party app stores and mobile operating systems that we do not control.

 

Our wealth management products, including Intelligent Investing, are distributed primarily through mobile applications available on Apple's App Store and Google Play. We are dependent on these third-party platforms to distribute our apps to members, process in-app transactions, and deliver updates. Apple and Google each have broad discretion to change their app store terms, policies, and fee structures, and to delay, restrict, or remove applications for a variety of reasons, including changes to their guidelines regarding financial services apps, privacy requirements, or in-app payment rules. Any material change to app store policies, increase in platform fees, or removal or suspension of our applications could disrupt our ability to acquire and serve members, delay the rollout of product updates, and adversely affect our revenue. We have no control over the operating systems on which our apps run, and changes to iOS or Android could require us to devote significant development resources to maintain compatibility. If we are unable to maintain our

30


 

presence on these platforms on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

If we fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or expectations, the trading price of our securities could decline.

 

From time to time, we may provide public guidance regarding our expected financial performance, including revenue, adjusted EBITDA, or other operating metrics. This guidance is based on management's estimates and assumptions at the time it is provided, which are inherently uncertain and may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual results may differ materially from our guidance due to factors within or outside our control, including changes in macroeconomic conditions, competitive dynamics, regulatory developments, or the timing of product launches. If our actual results fall short of our publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline significantly, and we could face increased investor scrutiny, securities litigation, or reputational harm. Even if we meet or exceed our guidance, analysts or investors may react negatively if the results do not meet their independent expectations or if we revise our guidance downward for future periods.

 

Changes in accounting standards or their interpretation could materially affect our reported financial results.

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The IASB periodically issues new or revised accounting standards that may require changes to how we recognize, measure, or disclose certain transactions and balances. Future changes to IFRS, including standards related to financial instruments, revenue recognition, lease accounting, or the classification of digital assets, could materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, and could require significant changes to our financial reporting systems and processes. In addition, differences in the interpretation or application of accounting standards could result in restatements or revisions to previously reported financial results. Any such changes or restatements could affect investor confidence, the trading price of our securities, and our ability to comply with financial covenants under our credit facilities.

 

Negative publicity or damage to our brand and reputation could adversely affect our business.

 

Our ability to attract and retain members, partners, and investors depends in part on the strength of our brand and reputation. Negative publicity, whether or not accurate, relating to our products, services, management, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, data security, or the broader financial services industry, could harm our reputation and erode member trust. The speed and reach of social media, online review platforms, and financial commentary forums amplify the potential impact of negative coverage, and reputational harm can occur rapidly and with limited opportunity to respond. In addition, short-seller reports, analyst downgrades, or negative commentary from market participants could adversely affect investor confidence and the trading price of our securities, regardless of the accuracy of such reports. Reputational harm could reduce member acquisition and engagement, increase member attrition, impair our ability to attract or retain employees, damage relationships with business partners, and result in increased regulatory scrutiny. Restoring a damaged reputation can be a lengthy and costly process with no assurance of success. Any material reputational harm could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our lending operations are concentrated in Canada, which exposes us to regional economic risks.

 

Substantially all of our loan portfolio consists of loans to borrowers located in Canada. This geographic concentration means that our lending business is disproportionately exposed to economic conditions,

31


 

regulatory developments, and other factors specific to the Canadian market. A deterioration in Canada's economy, whether caused by trade disruptions, tariffs, rising unemployment, a downturn in the housing market, natural disasters, or other adverse developments, could result in higher loan default rates and increased credit losses across our portfolio in a manner that would not affect a more geographically diversified lender. Our ability to mitigate this concentration risk through geographic expansion is limited by regulatory requirements, the cost of entering new markets, and the need to develop market-specific underwriting capabilities. If Canadian economic conditions deteriorate materially, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected to a greater degree than those of competitors with more geographically diversified lending operations.

 

Evolving expectations and political scrutiny related to environmental, social, and governance matters could expose us to reputational and regulatory risk.

 

Investors, regulators, employees, and other stakeholders in both Canada and the United States have placed increasing emphasis on corporate environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) practices. At the same time, there has been a growing political backlash against ESG initiatives in certain U.S. jurisdictions, including legislative and regulatory efforts to restrict the consideration of ESG factors in investment and business decisions. As a dual-listed company, we face the challenge of navigating these diverging expectations. Actions we take, or choose not to take, in response to ESG-related matters, including public statements, diversity and inclusion initiatives, climate-related disclosures, or investment practices, could attract criticism from stakeholders on either side of these debates. Failure to meet evolving ESG-related expectations could result in reputational harm, reduced access to capital from ESG-focused investors, or difficulty attracting and retaining employees, while actions perceived as overly focused on ESG could attract scrutiny from investors, political actors, or regulators opposed to such initiatives. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect our reputation, business relationships, and results of operations.

ITEM 4: INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.
History and Development of the Company

Mogo Finance Technology Inc. ("Mogo Finance") was incorporated under the Company Act on August 26, 2003 under the name "675909 B.C. Ltd." and transitioned under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") on May 4, 2005. Mogo Finance's name was changed several times, the last of which occurred on June 1, 2012 when its name was changed from "Hornby Management Inc." to the current name, "Mogo Finance Technology Inc.". Mogo Finance completed an initial public offering of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the trading symbol "GO" in June 2015.

The Company was incorporated by letters patent under the laws of Canada on January 14, 1972 under the name "Eskimo International Resources Limited." On August 17, 1972, the Company changed its name to "Natalma Mines Limited" by supplementary letters patent. The Company was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") by articles of continuance dated November 19, 1979. On May 4, 1983, the Company's name was changed to "Tonka Resources Inc.". The Company underwent several name changes between 1988 and 2013. On June 13, 2013, the Company changed its name to "Difference Capital Financial Inc" ("Difference").

On June 21, 2019, the Company completed a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"), being a business combination with Mogo Finance. In connection with the Arrangement, the Company was continued into British Columbia under the BCBCA and changed its name to "Mogo Inc." (referred to in this section as the "Combined Entity").

Under the Arrangement, Mogo Finance was amalgamated with a wholly owned subsidiary of Difference and each Mogo Finance common share (each a "Mogo Finance Share") outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement, other than Mogo Finance Shares held by Difference, was exchanged for one common share of the Combined Entity (each, a "Common Share"). On completion of the Arrangement, former Mogo Finance shareholders owned approximately 80% of the Combined Entity, on a fully diluted basis and the former directors of Mogo Finance made up a majority of the directors of the Combined Entity and the former officers of Mogo Finance became officers of the Combined Entity. In connection with the Arrangement, all of Mogo Finance's outstanding convertible securities became exercisable or convertible, as applicable, for Common Shares in accordance with the provisions thereof.

The Common Shares began trading on the TSX under the trading symbol "MOGO" in place of the Difference common shares at the open of trading on June 25, 2019. In addition, the Combined Entity was treated as a successor in interest to Mogo Finance and, as such, the Combined Entity was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq") under the symbol "MOGO". Mogo Finance Shares were delisted from the TSX on the close of trading on June 24, 2019. On August 10, 2023, the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Combined Entity were consolidated on a three for one basis.

B.
Business Overview

Orion Digital Corp. is a financial technology company focused on its digital wealth platform. The Company’s Intelligent Investing platform provides structured investment solutions designed to support long-term portfolio construction through automated and technology-enabled processes.

 

Orion Digital also operates a European payments infrastructure business that provides transaction authorization and processing services, and a Canadian consumer lending portfolio that generates cash flow and is managed with a focus on risk and capital efficiency.

 

Orion Digital’s capital allocation framework prioritizes reinvestment in its wealth platform, followed by investment in payments infrastructure and share repurchases where appropriate, with excess liquidity retained on the balance sheet to support operating stability and capital flexibility.

Products and Services

The Company’s primary products focus on wealth, payments and lending and include the following:

Revenue Model and Economics

 

The Company generates revenue across three primary business lines:

Wealth (subscription and services): Recurring revenue derived from platform membership fees and investment-related services, with revenue scaling alongside assets under management and member growth.
Payments (transaction and platform fees): Revenue generated from issuer processing, transaction-based fees, and program management services provided to enterprise and fintech clients. Revenue is correlated with transaction volume and client program activity.
Lending (interest income): Revenue generated from consumer lending products, with profitability driven by pricing and credit performance.

34


 

The Company’s strategy is to increase the contribution of recurring and scalable revenue streams from wealth and payments over time, while managing lending as a capital-efficient source of cash flow.

Wealth: Primary growth and strategic focus of the Company

IntelligentInvesting.ai

Intelligent Investing is a digital wealth platform designed to help Canadians build long-term wealth through disciplined, technology-enabled investing solutions. As of December 31, 2025, Intelligent Investing was delivered through two mobile applications, the Intelligent Investing app (managed investing) and the MogoTrade app (self-directed investing), which together formed an integrated investing ecosystem. Intelligent Investing consists of two core offerings:

 

Managed Investing

The Company’s managed investing solution is delivered through the Intelligent Investing mobile application.

The Intelligent Investing app provides a fully managed digital investing experience designed to simplify long-term wealth building through automation and structured portfolio management. Members make recurring or one-time contributions into professionally managed portfolios constructed with a strategic focus on broad-market ETFs, such as those tracking the S&P 500. Dividends are automatically reinvested.

There are no account minimums, and members may deposit or withdraw funds without transaction fees. Portfolios are constructed and managed based on each member’s investment objectives and risk profile.

Investments held through the Intelligent Investing app are managed by IIWMI, a registered portfolio manager, investment fund manager, and exempt market dealer in Canada.

The Intelligent Investing application is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Self-Directed Investing

The Company’s self-directed investing solution is a commission-free self-directed stock trading platform delivered through a mobile app that allows members to trade equities listed on major exchanges, including the TSX, TSX Venture Exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE. The platform is designed to support informed investment decision-making through integrated research tools and educational resources.

The Company’s self-directed investing platform is offered by IISI, a dealer member regulated by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO).

The Intelligent Investing self-directed trading application is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Platform Integration and Technology

While managed and self-directed investing were offered through separate applications as of December 31, 2025, they operate within a common Intelligent Investing framework and

35


 

subscription model. Together, they provide members with access to both professionally managed portfolios and self-directed trading capabilities within a single investing ecosystem.

The Intelligent Investing platform is built on cloud-based infrastructure leveraging internally developed microservices and standardized APIs. The architecture is designed to support scalability, regulatory compliance, and integration with third-party data providers, custodians, and market infrastructure.

The Company continues to invest in technology enhancements across the Intelligent Investing platform. This includes ongoing development and evaluation of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence–enabled capabilities intended to enhance personalization, portfolio insights, research functionality, and operational efficiency. While such capabilities were at various stages of development as of December 31, 2025, the Company expects data-driven and AI-enabled tools to play an increasing role in supporting member experience and platform differentiation over time.

Wealth revenue is primarily recurring in nature and benefits from operating leverage as assets under management and member engagement increase.

Tactex Asset Management

Tactex, a division of IIWMI, offers an independent platform designed to empower portfolio managers to grow their business on their own terms. Tactex provides the regulatory, technological, and operational infrastructure needed for advisors to thrive - professionally and financially. IIWMI is registered as a portfolio manager in all Canadian provinces and territories, as an Investment fund manager in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and as an exempt market dealer in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island.

Payments: Infrastructure layer supporting transaction authorization and client programs

Carta is a digital payments software company, founded in 2008, which provides technology and services that enable financial technology companies, banks, and corporations to issue payment products to consumers via multiple channels, including physical, virtual and tokenized cards, as well as payment switching and routing services. The Carta platform provides the infrastructure needed to help fintech and payments businesses build and manage their payment systems, and supports prepaid, debit, and credit card issuer processing. Carta is certified as a Visa and MasterCard processor with active card programs in over 11 countries, and annual transaction volume of approximately $12 billion.

Payments revenue is driven by transaction volume and client program activity, with revenue scaling as customer programs grow and expand.

Lending: Cash-generative business managed for risk and capital efficiency

The Company’s lending business provides unsecured consumer credit and is operated with a focus on disciplined underwriting, portfolio monitoring, and cash flow generation. The business is not a primary growth driver and is managed within defined risk and capital constraints.

 

Operating under the Mogo brand, the Company primarily offers an unsecured open line of credit product (the “Mogo Line of Credit”), which is designed to provide members with access to short-term liquidity. The Mogo Line of Credit provides approved members with access to credit up to $5,000 at a rate of 34.37%, subject to applicable provincial regulations and individual credit assessment. The Company's loan portfolio

36


 

also includes loans originated prior to 2025 at rates higher than 34.37%, which remain in effect at their original terms for existing borrowers. Members may obtain a no-obligation pre-approval through a fully digital application process and funding is completed electronically.

 

The lending experience is designed to be digital-first and highly automated, with the objective of reducing paperwork and minimizing manual intervention. The Company utilizes proprietary credit decisioning models that incorporate multiple data sources and analytical methodologies to assess risk and determine eligibility and credit limits.

 

Credit Decisioning and Technology

 

A core component of the Company’s lending platform is its data-driven underwriting and risk management framework. The Company leverages internally developed risk models, behavioral data, third-party bureau data, and other permitted data sources to inform credit decisions and ongoing account management. The Company continues to enhance its credit decisioning and operational capabilities through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence–enabled tools. These technologies are used to support: risk assessment and credit limit determination; fraud detection and identity verification; automated income and account verification processes; portfolio monitoring and collections prioritization.

 

Automation is embedded throughout the lending lifecycle, from application and underwriting through servicing and collections. While automated systems are central to the workflow, human oversight remains in place where required by policy, regulation, or internal risk controls.

 

The Company expects continued investment in AI-driven and automation technologies to improve operational efficiency, reduce manual processing requirements, strengthen risk management, and streamline the member experience over time. These initiatives remain subject to regulatory requirements, internal governance standards, and technological development timelines.

 

Integrated Financial Ecosystem

 

The Company’s lending business operates within a broader financial ecosystem that includes Intelligent Investing.

 

While the lending product is designed to address short-term liquidity needs, the broader platform provides members with access to tools and services intended to support longer-term financial management and wealth-building objectives.

 

Investment Portfolio (“Orion Digital Ventures”)

Orion Digital owns a portfolio consisting of approximately 15 investments in private and public companies and bitcoin ETFs. The Company’s investment portfolio is managed opportunistically and is not a core component of its operating strategy.

As of December 31, 2025, Orion Digital's investment portfolio was valued at approximately $21 million and included:

A stake in TSX-listed WonderFi Technologies Inc. ("WonderFi"), a fully regulated crypto exchange in Canada;

37


 

Investments in leading and emerging Crypto, Web 3.0 platforms and gaming companies, including Gemini, NFT Trader, and Enthusiast Gaming (NASDAQ:EGLX); and
Legacy investments including Hootsuite, Blue Ant Media and Alida, with a focus on monetizing these investments.

In the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequently in 2026, Orion Digital monetized approximately $19.5 million and $8.4 million respectively, of its investment portfolio through a sale of its remaining stake in WonderFi.

Three Year History

 

In 2025, Orion Digital:

 

Completed Phase 1 of the Redesign and Rebuild of Intelligent Investing Platform. In Q4 2025, the Company completed Phase 1 of the comprehensive redesign and rebuild of the Intelligent Investing platform, including enhancements to performance and reliability, expanded portfolio information and suitability processes, new goal-setting and planning tools, improved transfer management capabilities, and other product and user experience improvements.

Exited Legacy Institutional Brokerage Business. In Q1 2025, the Company exited its legacy institutional brokerage business, as part of management's strategic focus on eliminating sub-scale revenue streams and prioritizing higher margin offerings.

These revenues were reported within other subscription and services revenue.

Excluding the previously exited Canadian operations, European payments volume increased from $2.8 billion in Q4 2024 to $3.1 billion in Q4 2025, representing growth of 14% year-over-year.
Completed Carta Migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In Q1 2025, Carta completed its transition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ("OCI"), supporting the scalability and operational efficiency of the Company's payments platform in Europe.

Product Development

 

Orion Digital is a product-driven company focused on building digital wealth solutions that support disciplined capital allocation in financial systems that are increasingly automated and AI-assisted. Our CEO leads our product team, ensuring that development priorities are aligned with the Company's capital allocation framework, which prioritizes reinvestment in our wealth platform, followed by investment in payments infrastructure. Our product development is informed by member behavior data, platform performance metrics, and market trends, and we continuously refine our platforms to improve usability, reliability, and the overall member experience. Our primary product development focus is the Intelligent Investing platform, a unified wealth platform that integrates managed and self-directed investing capabilities within a single interface. We expect to continue to invest in products and platform

42


 

enhancements that we believe meet our return-on-investment criteria and that advance the Company's position as a digital wealth infrastructure business.

Our Platforms

 

Intelligent Investing Platform

 

Intelligent Investing is a cloud-based system built on internally developed microservices that communicate through RESTful Application Program Interfaces ("APIs"). Application data resides in both Canada as well as the United States. We rely on a vast list of third parties to ensure that customers are making financial decisions based on correct market information and market analysis.

 

The platform is designed to support a largely self-directed user experience, reducing reliance on operational support. Its core technology foundation was acquired in 2021 and has since been further developed and enhanced by the Company. The platform also leverages shared infrastructure developed across Orion Digital’s other business lines, including services related to ledgering, funds transfer, account creation and account management.

 

Mogo Platform

 

The Company operates an integrated, cloud-based platform designed to deliver financial products to consumers, with a focus on providing access to credit for individuals with non-prime or evolving credit profiles. The platform is built using a modular architecture of internally developed services, supporting reliability and flexibility.

The platform is designed to provide a largely self-service user experience through digital interfaces. For loan customers, this includes the MogoAccount portal, which enables members to manage their accounts, access product information and receive communications.

Automation and data analytics are embedded within the platform’s processes, supporting application processing, transaction execution, credit decisioning and marketing activities. The platform also utilizes standardized interfaces to integrate with third-party service providers, allowing for flexibility and ongoing enhancement of functionality. Data generated through platform operations is used to monitor performance and support continuous improvement in credit and operational processes.

 

Carta Platform

Carta's business-to-business ("B2B") offering is based on a hosted platform with data centers in North America and Europe with direct connectivity to global card payment networks – Visa and MasterCard ("Payment Networks"). The platform is designed to comply with applicable data security and privacy standards, including Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS Level 1), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and regional and bank partner regulatory requirements.

Carta serves customers seeking to issue payment cards by providing connectivity to the Payment Networks and client facing interfaces that enable management of the card programs. Customers access the platform through APIs and administration portals built on these APIs, enabling, real-time creation and modification of user accounts and issuing of 16 Digit Personal Account Numbers ("PANs").

43


 

The core component of the platform is the authorization functionality which enables real-time authorizations of transactions based on configurable rules within the Carta system. Customers may also interact with the authorization process through Carta's delegated authorization service,Issuer Link, which allows for the application of additional customer-defined controls beyond standard processing rules. This functionality enables enhanced transaction-level controls and supports the development of differentiated card products and features.

The integrity, security and reliability of the Company’s technology and payments infrastructure are critical to its operations. The Company intends to continue investing in its platform to meet client needs and maintain confidence in its services, including through ongoing optimization of its cloud-based infrastructure to support global payment processing with localized performance and connectivity to the Payment Networks. The platform is designed to maintain low authorization latency and high availability, while delivering scalable, consistent performance and resilience as transaction volumes grow.

In 2025, Carta exited its Canadian payments business to focus on its core European market.

 

Platform Maintenance

 

We maintain our platforms with 37 full‑time technology and credit risk analysis employees (credit risk, product, design, development, business intelligence and information technology) as of December 31, 2025 (excluding Carta). For Carta, we have 52 full-time technology employees (Payment Systems, Information Technology and Compliance, Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering).

Seasonality

The Company's business exhibits certain seasonal patterns, with relatively higher demand for wealth management services typically occurring during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The Company experiences higher loan repayments and insolvencies in the second quarter of the year. These seasonal

variations primarily reflect consumer financial behaviors associated with tax filing periods and year-end financial planning activities. Historically, these seasonal fluctuations have not resulted in material volatility in the Company's financial results. Management continuously monitors these seasonal trends and implements appropriate operational adjustments and resource allocations to address anticipated demand variations throughout the year.

Marketing

In addition to 50 software developers, designers, data scientists, product managers, and marketers, we have all of the traditional roles of a financial services provider including credit risk, finance, customer experience, operations, governance, legal and compliance. Our team supports the delivery and development of Orion Digital's wealth, payments infrastructure, and consumer lending operations through a combination of technology, financial services, and operational expertise. Our future success partly

depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees who share Orion Digital's passion for innovation through our products, platform and brand.

Competitive Conditions

 

Mogo and Intelligent Investing

The financial services industry continues to undergo rapid transformation, driven by shifting consumer expectations, digital innovation, and growing dissatisfaction with traditional financial institutions. Our competitors include other financial technology companies, other consumer finance companies, brokerages, online lenders, mortgage brokerages, traditional financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, and new market entrants. We compete with various financial services companies in each of our main products including financial technology companies such as Wealthsimple, Koho, Questrade, Qtrade and Webull; large Schedule I banks such as TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, Royal Bank of Canada, Tangerine, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, EQ Bankand Bank of Montreal; credit unions such as Meridian Credit Union and Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union; and consumer credit companies such as Capital One, Fairstone Financial Inc., and goeasy.

What sets Orion Digital apart is our strategic focus on long-term financial outcomes rather than short-term engagement or product volume. Our Intelligent Investing platform is designed to disrupt the traditional wealth industry by offering a simple, powerful solution that helps users actually build wealth over time, where banks and brokers often profit from complexity, fees and frequent trading. The platform is designed to emphasize long-term investing principles, including diversification, cost efficiency, and minimizing behavioral decision errors.

 

We are also the only non-prime lender in Canada offering an integrated pathway from borrowing to investing -allowing us to serve a broader financial journey than most competitors. We believe our multi-pronged differentiation, including a clear value-driven strategy, 22 years of proprietary data, a strong brand, a talented team, and growing scale, positions us as a category-defining alternative to both legacy institutions and newer fintech entrants. As new players continue to enter the market, few are aligned with long-term outcomes in the way we are. Our focus is not just on acquiring users, but on helping them win financially for life.

 

Carta

 

As an issuer processor, Carta operates in a competitive market landscape that includes established legacy processing platforms as well other modern platforms. Legacy processing platforms, including TSYS, FISERV, FIS, and others historically emerged as an outsourcing of traditional bank credit and debit card processing functions and grew to become incumbent players in the payment card market. Often these platforms are based on legacy technology and were not designed to support the complex and dynamic requirements of modern fintech card issuing ecosystem.

As Carta competes against other modern issuer processors, the business leverages product differentiation, service level, pricing models, and partnership engagement to effectively compete in the market. Modern issuer processing platform competitors include Marqeta and Galileo (a subsidiary of SoFi). In some markets, Carta may also face competition from large fintech platforms such as Stripe, Adyen and Checkout.com, whose core business is not issuer processing but may be expanding to more directly compete with Carta. Competitive dynamics vary across countries and regions where Carta operates as well as within industry verticals, and Carta's B2B sales and marketing approach follows a model that is tailored to optimize growth within target market segmentation.

Government Regulations

Our business is subject to numerous federal, provincial and other local laws, ordinances and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which are subject to change.

The following is an overview of key government regulations applicable to our business:

Privacy & Data Protection

 

Similarly to all Canadian businesses we are subject, at the federal level, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. The Privacy Commissioner of Canada is an Agent of Parliament whose mission is to protect and promote privacy rights. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) oversees compliance with the Privacy Act, which covers the personal information-handling practices of federal government departments and agencies, and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law. In addition to the federal regulator, we are also subject to the purview of the equivalent provincial regulator, for provinces that do have such a body.

Carta operates in the European Union and is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, our UK operations are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, which together establish the UK's data protection framework and are enforced by the UK Information Commissioner's Office. The UK GDPR is substantially aligned with the EU GDPR but is subject to independent interpretation and potential divergence over time.

Operational Resilience and Cybersecurity

 

As a provider of services to financial institutions operating in the European Union, we are subject to, or otherwise required to support our clients' compliance with, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) (DORA), which took effect on January 17, 2025. DORA establishes a harmonized framework for information and communication technology (ICT) risk management, incident reporting, operational resilience testing, and oversight of third-party ICT service providers across the EU financial sector.

 

We are also subject to, or otherwise required to support our clients' compliance with, Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2), which strengthens cybersecurity risk management, governance and incident reporting obligations for essential and important entities across the European Union, as implemented by each EU member state in which we or our clients operate.

 

Artificial Intelligence

 

Our European operations are subject to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU Artificial Intelligence Act), which establishes a risk-based regulatory framework for the development, deployment and use of artificial intelligence systems in the European Union. The EU AI Act is being phased in, with prohibitions on certain AI practices and AI literacy obligations applicable from February 2, 2025, governance and general-purpose AI model obligations applicable from August 2, 2025, and the majority of the remaining obligations, including those applicable to high-risk AI systems, becoming applicable on August 2, 2026. We continue to monitor our use of AI systems and evaluate applicability of, and compliance obligations under, the EU AI Act.

48


 

Consumer Protection

 

As we operate a business to consumer model, we are subject to the various consumer protection and business practices acts that each of the Canadian provinces legislate and supervise through their respective provincial regulatory bodies for this matter. These regulations impact a variety of matters including marketing, cost of credit disclosure, credit reporting, lending, and collections.

Securities & Investments

 

Our business is subject to the securities legislations and regulations as developed and enforced by the provincial securities and investment regulators, the Canadian Securities Agency ("CSA") and CIRO. CIRO is committed to the protection of investors, providing efficient and consistent regulation, and building Canadians’ trust in financial regulation and the people managing their investments and is the primary body overseeing the activities of IISI which is registered as an investment dealer. Furthermore, IIWMI holds registrations as both an exempt market dealer and as a portfolio manager. The primary regulatory framework for these activities is governed by National Instrument 31-103, National Instrument 45-106, and their related regulations and enforced by each of the provinces respective securities regulator, with the primary regulator for IIWMI being Quebec’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers where IIWMI is headquartered.

Lending

 

Our lending business activities are subject to section 347 of the Criminal Code, which prohibits the receipt of interest at a “criminal rate” (as defined therein). Following consultations on predatory lending conducted by the Department of Finance in August 2022, in 2023, the Canadian federal government introduced the Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No 1, to reduce the criminal rate of interest from 60% to 35%, and to replace an effective annual rate of interest calculation with an annual percentage rate of interest calculation. On January 1, 2025, these amendments came into force. However, the new criminal rate of interest does not apply in respect of any receipt of a payment or partial payment of interest that is interest at a criminal rate, if the payment arises from an agreement or arrangement to receive interest that was entered into before January 1, 2025 and the interest that arises from that agreement or arrangement would not have been at a criminal rate on the date it was entered into. In addition, the federal government has indicated it may further reduce the criminal rate of interest below 35% APR and a consultation on the further lowering of the criminal rate of interest closed on January 7, 2024. The Company continues to monitor developments in this area to ensure compliance with section 347 of the Criminal Code.

In addition to the criminal interest rate restrictions, certain of our MogoMoney products may be subject to new legislation and regulations respecting 'high-cost credit products' which have been implemented in certain provinces in which we operate. Provincial high-cost credit ("HCC") legislation has been implemented in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. HCC legislation, which is part of the broader provincial consumer protection regime in these provinces, imposes additional requirements, including licensing and disclosures, on lenders making loans above certain interest rate thresholds. We are currently licensed as an HCC lender in both provinces and comply with all regulatory requirements. We also continue to participate in the regulatory process, monitor the HCC landscape that continues to develop in other provinces. The Company will continue to ensure that its business complies with any HCC regulatory changes and is well positioned to respond to any enhanced disclosure requirements.

Financial Crime

 

As a provider of various types of financial services, we are subject to Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act ("PCMLTFA") and associated Regulations and must fulfill

49


 

specific obligations as required by the PCMLTFA to help combat money laundering and terrorist activity financing in Canada. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada ("FINTRAC") has the mandate to ensure the compliance of businesses subject to the PCMLTFA and to generate actionable financial intelligence for police, law enforcement and national security agencies to assist in the investigation of money laundering and terrorist activity financing offences or threats to the security of Canada.

 

French Language Laws

 

Our service offerings and operations within the province of Québec are subject to the language legislation of that province, namely the Charter of the French Language and its related legislation and regulations. These are supervised and enforced by the Office québecois de la langue francaise.

The Company does not own any real property and is remote-first with respect to its North America operations. We also have two short-term leased properties in Vancouver for administrative and IT support purposes and two short-term leased properties in Montreal that support our wealth businesses that may be relocated without significant cost or disruption.

In 2023, we executed an Indenture to Sublease our 13,193 sq ft. Vancouver office to a third-party and entered a lease for a smaller office. During 2025, our Winnipeg lease, no longer necessary given the transition of our Canadian employees to remote work, was allowed to expire. Also during 2025, our leases in Charlottetown, PEI and Nicosia, Cyprus expired. These sites previously housed Carta's data centers and were no longer required following Carta's exit from its Canadian payments business and completion of its migration to cloud-based storage solutions for its European business. We consider our property in Casablanca to be adequate for its purpose. We currently expect to extend the terms of this lease or to find a replacement site on commercially acceptable terms. We do not anticipate any environmental issues that may affect the Company’s utilization of the assets. There are no plans to expand or improve the facilities described above.

Our material tangible property and equipment are described in note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 17. Financial Statements.”

Orion members(1)

 

Our total member base grew to 2,328,000 members as at December 31, 2025, from 2,194,000 members as at December 31, 2024, representing an increase of approximately 6% or 134,000 net members. From Q3 2025, net members increased by 36,000 in Q4 2025. The growth in our member base reflects the continued adoption of our products by new members.

 

Revenue

 

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Total revenue decreased to $17.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $18.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease primarily reflects the Company’s exit from the legacy institutional brokerage business as previously announced, as well as lower interest revenue following the implementation of the 35% rate cap on consumer lending in Canada and the Company’s disciplined management of its lending portfolio.

These declines were partially offset by continued growth in the Company’s Wealth platform, as well as ongoing expansion in its Payments business.

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Total revenue decreased to $68.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $71.2 million in the same period last year. The decline primarily reflects the Company’s exit from the legacy institutional brokerage business and lower interest revenue following the implementation of the consumer lending rate cap in Canada and the Company’s disciplined approach to managing its lending portfolio.

 

These impacts were partially offset by growth in the Company’s Wealth platform, which represented the primary driver of platform revenue growth during the year, as well as continued expansion in its Payments business.

 

Subscription and services revenue

Subscription and services revenue represents the Company’s platform-based revenue streams, including wealth management services, payments infrastructure revenue, and other subscription-related products.

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

Subscription and services revenue decreased to $10.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $11.3 million in the same period last year.

Within this category, wealth revenue increased to $3.8 million, representing growth of 32% or $0.9 million compared to $2.9 million in the same period last year, reflecting continued growth in the Intelligent Investing platform.

Payments revenue remained consistent at $2.4 million compared to the same period last year reflecting stable transaction activity within the Carta platform.

These increases were offset by a decrease in other subscription and services revenue primarily due to the Company's exit from the legacy institutional brokerage business in the year.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Subscription and services revenue decreased to $42.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $43.1 million in the same period last year.

Wealth revenue increased to $14.5 million representing a 36% or $3.8 million compared to $10.7 million in the same period last year. Wealth represented the primary source of platform revenue growth during the year, reflecting the rollout of Phase 1 of the Company’s Intelligent Investing platform.

55


 

 

 

 

 

Payments revenue increased to $9.9 million representing growth of 15% or $1.3 million compared to $8.6 million in the same period last year. This increase reflects growth in European transaction volumes within the Company’s Carta payments infrastructure.

These increases were offset by a decline in other subscription related revenue, primarily reflecting the Company's exit from the legacy institutional brokerage business in the year.

 

Net loss

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Net loss was $5.7 million for three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $10.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net income is primarily due to the $2.6 million revaluation loss on investment portfolio and marketable securities in the current quarter compared to a $13.8 million gain in the same period in the prior year.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Net loss was $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is a decrease in net loss of $5.1 million compared to net loss of $13.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to other income related to agreements entered with WonderFi and its related shareholder groups to amend investor rights agreements (“IRAs”) as well as increased gross profit in the year.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which is consistent with the same period last year.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Net cash used in operating activities was ($1.0) million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is an improvement of $0.3 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($1.3) million in the same period last year. The change was primarily due to an increase in the net issuance of loan receivable offset by a cash inflow related to the IRA amendments as previously discussed.

 

 

Other Key Performance Indicators

 

These measures are used by management and the Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. Management considers cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable to be a useful measure in understanding the cash flow trends inherent to our existing scale of operations, by separating out the portion of cash flows related to investment in portfolio growth.

Adjusted revenue(1)

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Adjusted revenue was $17.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.2 million compared to $16.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in the Company’s wealth platform, supported by continued activity within the payments infrastructure business.

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Adjusted revenue was $67.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $2.7 million compared to $65.1 million in the same period last year. The increase reflects growth in the Company’s platform businesses, particularly the wealth platform, supported by continued expansion in the payments business.

 

Adjusted subscription and services revenue(1)

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Adjusted subscription and services revenue was $10.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.4 million compared to $9.5 million in the same period last year.

Within this category, wealth revenue increased 32% year-over-year, reflecting continued adoption of the Intelligent Investing platform, while adjusted payments revenue increased 12%, driven by growth in European payments programs supported by the Carta platform.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Adjusted subscription and services revenue was $41.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $4.5 million compared to $37.0 million in the same period last year. Within this category, wealth revenue increased 36% year-over-year, reflecting the rollout of Phase 1 of the Intelligent Investing platform, while adjusted payments revenue increased 23%, driven by growth in European transaction volumes within the Carta payments infrastructure platform.

 

Adjusted payments revenue(1)

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Adjusted payments revenue was $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $0.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year, representing 12% year-over-year growth driven by increased European payments activity.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Adjusted payments revenue was $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.9 million compared to $7.8 million in the same period last year, representing 23% year-over-year growth driven by expansion of European payments programs supported by the Carta platform.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

 

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $0.1 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA has increased in the current period due to an increase in gross profit offset by increased expenses from the continued investments made to the Company's wealth products.

57


 

 

 

 

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $0.5 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 million in the same period last year. This is due primarily to the reasons noted above.

 

Adjusted net loss(1)

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Adjusted net loss was $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an improvement of $0.3 million compared with an adjusted net loss of $0.4 million in the same period last year. This change is primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit offset by increased expenses from the continued investments made to the Company's wealth products, as well as lower interest expense during the year.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

Adjusted net loss was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is an improvement of $1.8 million compared with an adjusted net loss of $4.1 million in the same period last year. This change is due primarily to the reasons noted above.

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable(1)

 

Three months ended Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $6.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.9 million compared to $4.1 million in the same period last year.

 

The increase was primarily driven by lower interest paid of approximately $0.9 million, reflecting the amended credit facility terms, a $1.0 million payment received in connection with amendments to certain investor rights agreements (“IRA amendments”), and improved working capital management of approximately $0.2 million, partially offset by other operating changes during the period.

 

Year ended 2025 vs 2024

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $5.0 million compared to $14.5 million in the same period last year.

 

The increase was primarily driven by lower interest expense of approximately $1.7 million following the amendment of the Company’s credit facility and $4.0 million of payments received in connection with IRA amendments.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted revenue, adjusted subscription and services revenue, adjusted payments revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable are non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.

We use non‑IFRS financial measures to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non‑IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers.

Our management also uses non‑IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non‑IFRS financial measures versus their nearest IFRS equivalents. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any non‑IFRS financial measure and view it in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. In evaluating these non‑IFRS financial measures, readers should be aware that in the future we will continue to incur expenses similar to those adjusted in these non-IFRS financial measures.

The following adjusted metrics are intended to provide insight into the performance of the Company’s continuing platform businesses following the strategic exits completed in 2025.

 

Adjusted revenue

Adjusted revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure calculated as total revenue excluding revenue from the legacy institutional brokerage business and Carta Canada payments revenue, both of which were exited in Q1 2025.

Adjusted revenue has been updated in the current year to also exclude Carta Canada payments revenue in order to reflect the Company’s continuing operations following the strategic decision to focus the payments business on Europe.

Management believes this measure provides a more relevant view of the Company’s ongoing operating performance by excluding revenue from businesses that have been exited and by better reflecting trends within the Company’s core platform businesses.

Adjusted revenue is used by management and the Board to evaluate operating performance and to assess growth trends within the Company’s continuing lines of business.

Adjusted net loss

Adjusted net loss is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, revaluation (gain) loss, other non-operating income (expense) and income tax recovery. This measure differs from adjusted EBITDA in that adjusted net income (loss) includes credit facility interest expense, debenture and other financing expense, and thus comprises more elements of the Company’s overall net profit or loss. Adjusted net income (loss) is a measure used by management and the Board to evaluate the Company’s core financial performance.

Adjusted net loss has been redefined in the current quarter to exclude revaluation gains and losses related to marketable securities and investment portfolio. The Company had revised the definition of adjusted net loss to include these revaluation amounts. Management has determined that reverting to the prior definition enhances comparability with previously reported periods and aligns the presentation of adjusted net loss with the Company’s long-standing approach to evaluating operating performance.

Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change in definition.

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as cash used in operating activities, less net issuance of loans receivables. The Company requires net cash outflows in order to grow its gross loans receivable, which in turn generates future growth in interest revenue. These net cash outflows are presented within the operating activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, whereas the economic benefits are realized over the longer term. Consequently, we consider cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable to be a useful measure in understanding the cash flow trends inherent to our existing scale of operations, by separating out the portion of cash flows related to investment in portfolio growth.

Orion members

 

Orion members is not a financial measure. Orion members refers to the number of individuals who have signed up for one or more of our products and services including: MogoMoney, Intelligent Investing, our premium account subscription offerings, unique content, or events. People cease to be Orion members if they do not use any of our products or services for 12 months and have a deactivated account. Reported Orion members may overstate the number of unique individuals who actively use our products and services within a 12-month period, as one individual may register for multiple accounts whether inadvertently or in a fraudulent attempt. Customers are Orion members who have accessed one of our revenue generating products.

Results of Operations

The Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the continued evolution of Orion Digital’s business model toward platform-based revenue streams. Growth during the period was primarily driven by expansion of the Company’s Wealth platform, Intelligent Investing, and continued development of its payments infrastructure through Carta. At the same time, total revenue was affected by the strategic exit of the legacy institutional brokerage business and lower interest revenue following the implementation of the consumer lending rate cap in Canada. The Company’s lending portfolio continues to operate as a stable cash-generating component of the business while management prioritizes investment in its Wealth platform and payments infrastructure.

Subscription and services revenue – represents the Company’s platform-based revenue streams, including wealth management services, payments infrastructure revenue and other subscription-related products. Wealth revenue includes fees related to Orion Digital's Intelligent Investing platform and also includes portfolio management fees from our asset management business. Payments revenue consists of the transaction processing fees and other charges related to Carta. Other subscription and services revenue includes premium account fees, loan insurance revenue, referral fee revenue, partner lending fees, legacy institutional brokerage revenue and other fees and charges.

Interest revenue – represents interest earned on the Company’s consumer lending products. The lending portfolio continues to be managed primarily as a stable cash-generating component of the business, with origination levels adjusted in response to regulatory changes and macroeconomic conditions.

Wealth revenue was $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $0.9 million compared to $2.9 million in the same period last year. Wealth revenue was $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 representing an increase of $3.8 million compared to $10.7 million in the same period last year. These increases reflect continued adoption of the Company’s Intelligent Investing platform following the rollout of Phase 1 of the platform, which introduced the new managed portfolio offering during the year.

Payments revenue was $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which is consistent with the same period last year. Payments revenue was $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 representing an increase of $1.3 million compared to $8.6 million in the same period last year. This increase primarily reflects growth in European transaction volume within the Company’s Carta payments infrastructure platform, partially offset by the Company’s strategic exit from Canadian payments operations.

Other subscription and services revenue was $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which is a $1.3 million decrease compared to $6.0 million in the same period last year. Other subscription and services revenue was $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 which is a $5.9 million decrease compared to $23.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily as a result of the Company exiting the low margin legacy institutional brokerage business in the year.

G&A expenses consist primarily of salary and personnel related costs for our corporate, finance and accounting, credit analysis, underwriting, legal and compliance, fraud detection and human resources employees. Additional expenses include consulting and professional fees, insurance, legal fees, occupancy costs, and other corporate expenses.

 

G&A expenses were $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which is a $0.1 million decrease compared to $3.2 million in the same period last year. G&A expenses were $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 which is a decrease of $0.4 million compared to $14.5 million in the same period last year. These decreases were due to decreases in operational costs from streamlined vendor management.

Stock-based compensation represents the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model and amortized over the vesting period of the options. Depreciation and amortization is principally related to the amortization of intangible assets relating to internally capitalized development costs related to our technology platform, and technology, licenses and customer relationships acquired in the acquisitions of Carta, Moka and Fortification in 2021. Stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization are all non-cash expenses.

 

Stock-based compensation was $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 consistent with the same period in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2025 stock-based compensation remained relatively stable at $1.8 million compared to $1.9 million in the prior year.

 

Depreciation and amortization remained consistent at $2.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $8.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $8.4 million in the same period last year. There was a decrease in additions to intangibles compared to the same periods in the prior year resulting in a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense.

Total other (income) expenses was an expense of $4.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which is a change of $16.3 million compared to income of $12.0 million for the same period last year. The change from other income to other expense was primarily driven by a revaluation gain in the prior period compared to a loss in the current period.

 

Total other (income) expenses was an expense of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is a decrease of $3.1 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. The variance is primarily due to other income related to the IRA amendments previously discussed, offset by a decrease in revaluation gain for the year.

 

Revaluation gains and losses was a $3.5 million loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $13.8 million gain in the same period last year. The variance is primarily attributable to a loss in investment portfolio and marketable securities of $2.4 million in the current period, compared to $13.6 million gain in the same period last year. Revaluation gains and losses was a $0.1 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $1.3 million gain in the same period last year. The variance is primarily attributable to a revaluation loss in investment portfolio and marketable securities of $1.9 million in the current year offset by revaluation gains on the Company's debentures and foreign exchange, compared revaluation losses in the same period last year.

 

Other non-operating (income) expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 consists primarily of income related to agreements to the IRA amendments as previously noted.

 

Debenture and other financing expense primarily consists of interest expense related to our debentures and interest expense related to our lease liabilities. Debenture and other financing expense remained relatively consistent for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.

B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations and continue as a going concern, and to deploy capital to provide future investment return to its shareholders. A detailed description of the Company’s approach to capital management and risk management policy for managing liquidity risk is outlined in Note 24 in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company has assessed that it has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which management has defined as being at least the next 12 months. The Company monitors its cash position and cash flow on a regular basis, and may monetize certain marketable securities and investments in the next 12 months to reinforce its cash position, should management consider it necessary.

To date the Company has funded its lending and investing activities, expenses and losses primarily through the proceeds of its initial public offering which raised $50 million in 2015, subsequent issuances of common shares of the Company, convertible debentures, warrants, prior private placements of preferred shares, placements of debentures, credit facilities, and cash from operating activities. The business combination between the Company and Mogo Finance Technology Inc. in the second quarter of 2019 also added to the Company’s capital resources and strengthened its financial position with an investment portfolio and marketable securities which the Company is actively seeking to monetize.

We manage our liquidity by continuously monitoring revenues, expenses and cash flow compared to budget. Our principal cash requirements are for working capital, loan capital and investing activities. Our future financing requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, product development investments, increase in marketing activities, investment levels in our gross loans receivables, the macroeconomic conditions and their impact on loan performance, and potential mergers, strategic investments and acquisitions activity. Management expects that they will be able to refinance any outstanding amounts owing under the credit facility or our long-term debentures and may at times consider the issuance of shares in satisfaction of amounts owing under debentures, in each case as they become due and payable. The debentures are subordinated to the credit facility.

 

In order to support its growth strategy, the Company gives consideration to additional financing options including accessing the capital markets for additional equity or debt, monetization of our investment portfolio and marketable securities, increasing the amount of long-term debt outstanding or increasing availability under existing or new credit facilities.

Although we are not currently party to any material undisclosed agreement and do not have any understanding with any third parties with respect to potential material investments in, or material acquisitions of, businesses or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favourable to us or at all.

In February 2025, we amended our credit facility. The amendment changed the effective interest rate from 8% plus SOFR, to 7% plus SOFR, and extends the maturity date from January 2026 to January 2029.

This table presents a management cash flow summary, which is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The net change in cash presented above reconciles to the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

(1)
Core operating cash generation represents operating cash flow excluding net issuance of loans receivable and cash interest paid on debentures of $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, and $2.9 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. These amounts have been included in net financing and shareholder actions.
(2)
Investments in intangible assets and property and equipment.
(3)
Net change in loans receivable, net advances and repayments on credit facility, and changes in working capital.
(4)
Net cash flows from purchases and sales of marketable securities and investment portfolio monetizations.
(5)
Cashflow related to debenture principal and interest payments, share repurchases, lease principal payments and foreign exchange effects.

 

Core operating cash generation

Core operating cash generation was $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a $1.9 million increase. Core operating cash generation was $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 a $4.8 million increase compared to the same period last year. The change was primarily due to a cash inflow related to the IRA amendments as previously discussed, as well as a decrease in interest paid.

 

Discretionary growth and platform investment

Discretionary growth and platform investment was $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a $0.2 million increase compared to $0.8 million in the same period last year. The increased investment in Q4 reflects the Company's investment in the unified intelligent investing platform to be launched in 2026. Discretionary growth and platform investment was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a $0.6 million decrease compared to $3.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower overall investment in intangible assets, with development activity weighted more heavily toward the fourth quarter of the current year.

Net balance sheet deployment

Net balance sheet deployment was $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a $1.2 million increase compared to $3.9 million in the same period last year. This is primarily due to $0.4 million of net draws on the Company's credit facility in current period, compared to $0.3 million of net repayments in the same period in prior year. Additionally, there was an increase in the Company's net issuance of loans receivable in the current year.

 

Net balance sheet deployment was $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a $1.7 million increase compared to $16.4 million. This is primarily due to higher net issuance of loans receivable and increased utilization of the credit facility, as well as a higher overall working capital cash outflow for the year.

 

Portfolio investments and monetizations

70


 

 

 

 

 

Portfolio investments and monetizations was $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Portfolio investments and monetizations was $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $0.5 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the timing and volume of portfolio transactions completed in the current period.

 

Net financing and shareholder actions

Net financing and shareholder actions increased in the fourth quarter compared with the prior-year quarter and for the full year compared with the prior year, primarily reflecting higher repayments of debt and increased repurchases of common shares during the periods.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities

 

Our operating activities consist of our subscription and services revenue inflows, our cash operating and interest expense outflows, as well as the funding and servicing of our loan products, including the receipt of principal and interest payments from our loan customers, and payment of associated direct costs and receipt of associated fees.

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivables(1) was $6.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which is a $1.9 million increase compared to $4.1 million in the same period last year. Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivables(1) was $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is a $5.0 million increase compared to $14.5 million in the same period last year. The change was primarily due to a cash inflow related to the IRA amendments as previously discussed, as well as a decrease in interest paid.

 

Cash invested in loans receivable was a $5.4 million outflow in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $3.6 million outflow in the same period last year. Management maintains complete discretion over the ability to manage this as either a usage of cash or an inflow of cash from period to period.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was consistent at $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year. Cash used in operating activities was ($1.0) million for the year ended

December 31, 2025, which is a decrease of $0.3 million compared to cash used in operating activities of ($1.3) million in the same period last year. The change was primarily due to an increase in cash invested in loans receivable.

Cash provided by (used in) investing activities

 

Our investing activities consist primarily of capitalization of software development costs, purchases of property, equipment and software, investment and sale of our digital assets, monetization of our investment portfolio and marketable securities. The cash flow may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations, changes in employee headcount and the development cycles of our internal‑use technology.

 

Cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.8 million compared to cash used in investing activities of ($0.8) million in the same period last year. Cash provided by investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2025 was $11.7 million compared to cash used in investing activities ($2.8) million in the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to inflows from the monetization of marketable securities in the current year.

 

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities

 

Historically, our financing activities have consisted primarily of the issuance of our common shares, debentures, convertible debentures, and borrowings and repayments on our credit facilities.

 

Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended December 31, 2025 was ($0.5) million compared to ($1.0) million for the same period last year. The decrease is due to $0.4 million of net draws on the Company's credit facility in current period compared to $0.3 million of net repayments in the prior period as well as a decrease in repayments on debentures and principal repayments of lease liabilities. Cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2025 was ($1.6) million compared to cash used in financing activities of ($3.5) million for the same period last year. This is primarily due to $2.4 million of net draws on the Company's credit facility in current year offset by the repurchase of common shares, compared to $0.6 million of net repayments in the prior period.

Total assets decreased by $16.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in prepaid expenses, and other receivables and assets as a result of exiting the legacy institutional brokerage business as well as continued amortization of intangible assets. Monetization of marketable securities and investment portfolio resulted in increased cash.

 

Total liabilities decreased by $7.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, accruals and other as a result of exiting the legacy institutional brokerage business as well as a decrease in debentures.

 

Gross loans receivable were $77.6 million as at December 31, 2025, compared to $72.7 million at December 31, 2024, reflecting loan originations partially offset by repayments and charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses was $17.0 million, representing 21.9% of gross loans receivable, compared to $14.1 million (19.4%) at December 31, 2024. The increase primarily reflects updated macroeconomic assumptions and portfolio performance. The allowance represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses under IFRS 9. Further details are provided in Note 4.

 

Credit facility

The credit facility consists of a $60,000 senior secured credit facility. On February 26, 2025, the Company amended its credit facility to extend the maturity date by three years, from January 2, 2026 until January 2, 2029. As part of the amendment, certain financial covenants were modified, and the interest rate was reduced by 100 basis points to 7% plus the greater of i) 2% and ii) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). There is a 0.33% fee on the available but undrawn portion of the $60,000 facility. Availability under the facility is determined monthly based on the level of eligible loan receivables. Borrowing capacity fluctuates with the amount of eligible loans, and any borrowings in excess of the eligible loan receivables must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The principal and interest balance outstanding for the credit facility as at December 31, 2025 was $51,713 (December 31, 2024 – $48,792).

The credit facility is subject to certain covenants and events of default. As at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Interest expense on the credit facility for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $5,721 (December 31, 2024 – $6,702) is included in credit facility interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Interest payments are due semi-monthly.

The Company has provided its senior lenders with a general security interest in all present and after acquired personal property of the Company, including certain pledged financial instruments, cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company has pledged financial instruments as collateral against its credit facilities. Borrowing capacity under the facility is influenced by the composition of these assets. Under the terms of the general security agreement, assets pledged as collateral primarily include loans receivable with a carrying amount equal to $60,650 (December 31, 2024 – $58,620) and cash and cash equivalents with a balance of $586 (December 31, 2024 – $254).

Debentures

The Company's debentures pay interest at a coupon rate between 8 - 10% per annum. Payments of interest and principal are made to debenture holders on a quarterly basis on the first business day following the end of a calendar quarter, at the Company's option either in cash or Common Shares.

The debentures are secured by the assets of the Company, governed by the terms of a trust deed and, among other things, are subject to a subordination agreement to the credit facility which effectively extends the individual maturity dates of the debentures to January 2, 2029 which is the maturity date of the credit facility.

As at March 1, 2025, the Company adjusted the amortised cost of the debentures to give effect to the amended maturity date of the Company's senior secured credit facility from January 2, 2026 to January 2, 2029. The Company determined this constituted a non-substantial modification of the existing debentures and the amortised cost of the debentures was recalculated by discounting the revised estimated future cash flows at the existing effective interest rate. The impact of the modification was recorded in revaluation gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The debenture principal repayment dates, after giving effect to the subordination agreement referenced above, are as follows:

Trend Information

The information required by this item is set forth above in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events since December 31, 2025 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in this annual report on Form 20-F to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

E.
Critical Accounting Estimates

These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience, best knowledge of current events, conditions and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and other factors that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

 

These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effect of a change in accounting estimate or assumption is recognized prospectively by including it in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period of the change and in any future periods affected.

 

The areas where estimates and assumptions have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the following:

 

(i) Provision for loan losses, net of recoveries

The provision for loan losses consists of amounts charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the period to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The Company's allowance for loan losses represents its estimate of the expected credit losses expected from its existing loan portfolio and is based on a variety of factors, including the composition and quality of the portfolio, loan-specific information gathered through collection efforts, delinquency levels, estimate of impaired loans recoveries, historical charge-off and loss experience, the Company's expectations of future loan performance, and general forward-looking macroeconomic conditions. The methodology and assumptions used in setting the loan loss allowance are reviewed regularly to reduce any difference between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

 

The determination of the recoverable amount on charged-off loans represents a component of the allowance for expected credit losses and involves a significant accounting estimate. Impaired loans are loans for which the Company has determined there is no reasonable expectation of full recovery. The Company recognizes the portion of the receivable expected to be collected based on estimated future cashflows and may continue collection activities to recover a portion of the contractual cashflows. The estimation of recoverable amounts is subject to inherent uncertainty because it requires management to assess the timing and amount of future cash flows that may be collected after charge-off, which are not directly observable and may vary from actual outcomes.

76


 

 

 

 

 

 

In determining the recoverable amount on charged-off loans, management applies judgement and uses historical recovery experience, delinquency status, and origination period, adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions and forward-looking information. The estimate reflects management’s expectations regarding future recoveries, including the probability of collection, expected cash recovery rates, and the estimated timing of recoveries. These assumptions are reviewed regularly and updated based on recent collection performance and other relevant information.

 

(ii) Fair value of privately held investments

Estimating fair value requires that significant judgment be applied to each individual investment. For privately held investments, the fair value of each investment is measured using the most appropriate valuation methodology or combination of methodologies in the judgment of management in light of the specific nature, facts and circumstances surrounding that investment. This may take into consideration, but not be limited to, one or more of the following: valuations of recent or in-progress funding rounds, forward revenue and earnings projections, comparable peer valuation multiples, and the initial cost base of the investment. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

 

(iii) Impairment testing of intangible assets and goodwill

Management is required to use judgement in determining the CGUs and reviewing impairment indicators. Management reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Management must apply a range of assumptions and considers estimated cashflows based on actual operating results as well as industry and market trends. These projections are inherently uncertain due to market and economic factors.

B.
Compensation

The following discussion describes the significant elements of our executive compensation program, with particular emphasis on the process for determining compensation payable to our executive officers.

 

Our executive compensation practices are designed to attract and retain the skillsets and experience needed to lead the development and execution of the Company’s strategy and to reward our executives for high performance and their contribution to our long‑term success. The Board seeks to compensate executives by combining short‑term and long‑term cash and equity incentives. It also seeks to reward the achievement of corporate and individual performance objectives, and to align executive officers’ incentives with the Company’s performance.

 

In order to achieve our aggressive growth objectives, attracting and retaining the right team members is critical. A key part of this is a well‑thought out compensation plan that attracts high performers with specific skillsets and compensates them for continued achievements.

 

Setting executive compensation in a growth-oriented fintech organization can be challenging as we seek to balance the creation of shareholder value with long-term growth objectives. As a result, elements of our compensation plan evolve from year to year as the Company matures.

 

Our Board, on recommendations from the CGCNC, makes decisions regarding all forms of compensation, including salaries, bonuses and equity incentive compensation for our executives, as well as approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to our executives’ compensation. Finally, the CGCNC in conjunction with senior management also administers employee incentive compensation, including the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”).

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Context of our Executive Compensation Practices

Orion Digital operates as a publicly listed fintech company in a competitive market for executive and senior leadership talent. Our compensation program is designed to retain leaders who can execute the Company’s strategy, support disciplined operating performance, and align management outcomes with long-term shareholder value.

Several market and business factors inform the CGCNC’s approach:

We compete for talent with both technology companies, where equity compensation is a core component of pay, and established financial services companies, which often have more developed cash compensation, incentive, benefit, and retirement programs. As a result, the CGCNC considers both equity ownership and competitive cash compensation in designing programs intended to retain key executives and align them with long-term shareholder value.
Our compensation decisions are made in the context of continued cash discipline, operating efficiency, and the Company’s focus on revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA performance, balance sheet strength, and long-term value creation.

81


 

 

 

 

 

The CGCNC aims to balance these factors with the expectations of our shareholders and their responsibilities around oversight. As the business matures through the execution of our corporate strategy, the CGCNC will continue to evolve our compensation strategies to support performance, retention and shareholder alignment.

 

How Executive Compensation is determined

 

The CGCNC annually assesses and makes a recommendation to the Board with regard to the competitiveness and appropriateness of the compensation package, including regular, incentive and equity-based compensation of the executive officers. As required, the CGCNC retains independent advice in respect of compensation matters and, if deemed appropriate by the Committee, meets separately with such advisors. Orion Digital specifically uses salary survey information to benchmark its compensation against the market. Orion Digital uses a variety of specialized survey data and relies heavily on data from The Mercer HR Tech Group Salary Survey. This survey is based in British Columbia, but the data is relevant for all Canadian high-tech markets. The most recent survey included data provided by over 95 leading technology organizations in the British Columbia market. The survey includes cash, short and long-term incentive information and has executive benchmarks for over 30 functions. Compensation analysis is available by size and type of organization. Additionally, third party consultants have also provided input on our senior leadership and executive compensation.

 

 

Summary of Elements of Compensation Program

Our executive compensation consists primarily of three elements: base salary, annual bonus and long‑term equity incentives.

Annual Base Salary

 

Annual base salary reflects the scope and responsibilities of the role, each executive’s personal experience and performance, and market competitiveness. Base salaries are reviewed annually based on individual performance and/or for market competitiveness. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope or breadth of an executive’s role or responsibilities, as well as for market competitiveness or in response to economic conditions.

 

Annual Performance Bonus

 

Annual performance bonus is expressed as a percentage of annual base salary and is calculated based on achievement levels against a mix of corporate performance goals and individual performance goals and is payable at the discretion of the Board. Annual performance bonuses may be paid in cash, equity awards, or a combination of both, and remain subject to Board discretion. Any annual performance bonuses in respect of the 2025 performance year have not yet been determined or awarded and, if approved, are expected to be evaluated in 2026 based on the applicable performance targets.

 

One-Time Operational Transformation Bonus

 

In 2025, the Board approved a one-time discretionary Operational Transformation Bonus for certain executives and senior leaders in recognition of their contributions to the Company’s multi-year operational transformation during 2022-2024. Since the 2021 performance year, no operational bonuses had been paid to executives or senior leaders despite contractual eligibility, while the leadership team delivered significant operational improvements, strengthened its financial position, and continued to execute during a period of macroeconomic uncertainty, rising interest rates and fintech sector volatility.

82


 

 

 

 

 

 

The Board considered several operational achievements in approving the Operational Transformation Bonus, including the Company’s EBITDA, cash flow performance, and improved financial strength.

The Board also considered the executives’ sustained alignment with shareholders. The CEO and President & CFO have maintained meaningful personal ownership of Orion Digital shares and, from 2022 through the date the operational bonus was determined in mid 2025, collectively purchased more than 570,000 Orion Digital shares in the open market at an average purchase price of approximately $2 per share. Based on Company records, neither executive has sold Orion Digital shares during his tenure with the Company. The Compensation Committee believes this ownership profile reinforces alignment with long-term shareholder value creation.

 

The award was non-recurring, does not create a precedent for ongoing discretionary awards, and was approved separately from the Company’s annual bonus plan.

 

Long-Term Incentives

 

Stock Options - Stock options are awarded annually at the Board’s discretion and typically vest over four years with an eight-year term. Stock options align executive compensation with shareholder interests as the value is dependent on post-vesting share price.

Our Stock Option Plan is in place for the benefit directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, including the executive officers. The executive officers and directors have been issued options under such plan.

Our Stock Option Plan was adopted effective November 15, 2013, as amended. Subject to the requirements of the Stock Option Plan, the Board, with the assistance of the CGCNC, has the authority to determine when options will be granted, which eligible persons will be granted options, the number of common shares subject to each option granted and the vesting for each option.

RSUs – We established a RSU Plan to form part of our incentive compensation arrangements which is available for eligible directors, officers and employees of the Company as of April 18, 2018, the closing date of our IPO. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are issued in limited amounts and only awarded to senior management, and typically vest over three years. RSUs are aligned with shareholder interests as their value depends on post-vesting share price.

In setting the annual performance objectives and evaluating executive compensation, the Company considers each element carefully against relevant internal and market factors and the Board provides appropriate oversight with regard to the payment of short and long-term incentives to ensure alignment with our shareholders’ long-term interests.

In addition, Messrs. Feller employment agreements contains a provision entitling them to full acceleration of vesting of any stock options previously granted to them upon a ‘Change in Control’, as defined in the Stock Option Plan. Mr. Carter’s employment agreement contains a change of control provision entitling him to an additional six months of severance, should a good reason arise within the first twelve months of the change of control and twelve months of severance should good reason arise after that, for the duration of his employment with Orion Digital.

ITEM 7: MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A.
Major Shareholders

Based on a review of the information provided to us by our transfer agent, as of April 10, 2025, there were 447 record holders, of which 347 record holders holding approximately 76% of our Common Shares had registered addresses in Canada. These numbers are not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our Common Shares nor are they representative of where such beneficial holders reside, since many of these Common Shares are held of record by brokers or other nominees (including one Canadian. nominee company, CDS & Co., which held approximately 75% of our outstanding common shares as of such date).

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of April 25, 2026, the latest practicable date, by each person known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common shares. The calculations in the table below are based on the 23,897,826 Common Shares outstanding as of April 29, 2026.

89


 

 

 

 

 

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we have included shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days from April 29, 2026, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security. These shares, however, are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person.


No holder of common shares has different voting rights from any other holders of Common Shares..

B.
Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions during the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 include transactions with debenture holders that incur interest. The related party debentures balance as at December 31, 2025 totaled $0.1 million (December 31, 2024 – $0.1 million). The debentures bear annual coupon interest of 8.0% (December 31, 2024 – 8.0%) with interest expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 totaling $3,000 and $10,000 respectively (December 31, 2024 – $3,000 and $14,000 respectively). The related parties involved in such transactions include shareholders, officers, directors, and management, close members of their families, or entities which are directly or indirectly controlled by close members of their families. The debentures are ongoing contractual obligations that are used to fund our corporate and operational activities.

ITEM 8: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A.
Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.

See “Item 17 Financial Statements” for the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report on Form 20-F.

 

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time involved in legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to our business. We believe that none of the litigation in which we are currently involved, or have been involved since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Regulatory Actions

Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are involved in any regulatory action which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Dividend Policy

 

The holders of common shares are entitled to receive distributions as and when declared from time to time on the common shares by the Board, acting in its sole discretion, out of the Company’s assets properly available for the payment of dividends.

The Company intends to reinvest all future earnings in order to finance the development and growth of its business. As a result, the Company does not intend to pay dividends on the common shares in the foreseeable future. The declaration of any future dividends by the Board will be dependent on the Company’s earnings, liquidity position, financial condition and capital requirements, as well as any other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

 

Significant Changes

 

There have been no significant changes to our business that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s incorporation number is C1213467. On December 29, 2025, the Company changed its name from Mogo Inc. to Orion Digital Corp.

 

Objects and Purposes

The Articles of the Company do not contain limitations or restrictions on the business of the Company.

Directors

Under the Articles of the Company, a director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property, right or interest that could result, directly or indirectly, in the creation of a duty or interest that materially conflicts with that individual’s duty or interest as a director or senior officer, must disclose the nature and extent of the conflict as required by the BCA. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution approving the contract or transaction, unless all directors have an interest in the contract or transaction. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is entitled to be counted as part of the quorum for the directors’ meeting to consider the contract or transaction. Such director or senior officer who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is liable to account to the Company for any profit that accrues to the director or senior officer under or as a result of the contract or transaction only if and to the extent provided in the BCA.

 

Under the Articles, the Company, if authorized by the directors, may: (a) borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions that the directors consider appropriate; (b) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other person and at such discounts or premiums and on such other terms as the directors consider appropriate; (c) guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and (d) mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, grant a security interest in, or give other security on, the whole or any part of the present and future assets and undertaking of the Company.

 

Directors are not required to hold a share of the Company as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the BCA to become, act or continue to act as a director.

 

The Articles do not specify a retirement age for directors.

 

Subject to the BCA, the Company must indemnify a director, former director of the Company and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding.

 

94


 

 

 

 

 

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions

The Company’s Notice of Articles provides that the authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares of the Company.

 

Subject to the BCA, the directors may from time to time declare and authorize payment of such dividends as they may consider appropriate. The dividend provisions are subject to the rights, if any, of shareholders holding shares with special rights as to dividends. All dividends on shares of any class or series of shares must be declared and paid according to the number of such shares held.

 

Subject to any special rights or restrictions attached to any shares and to the restrictions imposed on joint shareholders: (a) on a vote by show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or proxy holder and entitled to vote on the matter has one vote; and (b) on a poll, every shareholder entitled to vote on the matter has one vote in respect of each share entitled to be voted on the matter and held by that shareholder and may exercise that vote either in person or by proxy.

 

At every annual general meeting: (a) the shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting for the election of directors must elect, or in the unanimous resolution appoint, a board of directors consisting of the number of directors for the time being set under the Articles; and (b) all the directors cease to hold office immediately before the election or appointment of directors under paragraph (a), but are eligible for re-election or re-appointment.

 

Action Needed to Change Shareholder Rights

The Company must not make a payment or provide any other consideration to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its shares if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (a) the Company is insolvent; or (b) making the payment or providing the consideration would render the Company insolvent.

 

Subject to the BCA, the Company may by special resolution make alterations to the authorized share structure and special rights or restrictions to change the rights of the shareholders. The majority of votes required for the Company to pass a special resolution at a meeting of shareholders is two-thirds of the votes cast on the resolution.

 

Shareholder Meeting

The Company’s Articles provide that (a) the Company must hold an annual general meeting at least once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual reference date at such time and place as may be determined by the directors; (b) the directors may, at any time, call a meeting of shareholders to be held at such time and place as may be determined by the directors; (c) the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 25% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting; and (d) in addition to those persons who are entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, the only other persons entitled to be present at the meeting are the directors, the president (if any), the secretary (if any), the assistant secretary (if any), any lawyer for the Company, the auditor of the Company, any other persons invited to be present at the meeting by the directors or by the chair of the meeting and any persons entitled or required under the BCA or the Company’s Articles to be present at the meeting.

 

Limitations on Ownership of Securities

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the common shares under the laws of Canada or British Columbia or in the Company's charter documents.

95


 

 

 

 

 

Change in Control

There are no provisions in the Articles or charter documents that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in the control of the Company, or that would operate with respect to any proposed merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving its company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

Ownership Threshold

There are no provisions in the Articles governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada, however, requires that shareholder ownership (as well as ownership of an interest in, or right or obligation associated with, a related financial instrument of a security of the Company) must be disclosed once a person beneficially owns or has control or direction over, directly or indirectly, securities of a reporting issuer carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the reporting issuer’s outstanding voting securities and United States federal securities laws require us to disclose in this our annual report on Form 20-F, holders who own 5% or more of our issued and outstanding shares.

 

Changes to Capital

There are no conditions imposed by the Articles governing changes in the rights of holders of common shares where such conditions are more significant than is required by the laws of British Columbia.

 

Description of Capital Structure

There are no conditions imposed by the Articles governing changes in the capital that are more stringent than is required by the laws of British Columbia.

E.
Taxation

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Information for Non-Canadian Holders

The following summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the holding and disposition of our common shares by a beneficial owner of common shares who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereto (the “Tax Act”), and at all relevant times, (1) is not, or is deemed not to be, resident in Canada, (2) deals at arm’s length with and is not affiliated with us, (3) holds such shares as capital property and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, such shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada and (4) has not entered into and will not enter into, with respect to the common shares a “derivative forward agreement” as that term is defined in the Tax Act (hereinafter, a “Non-Canadian Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, apply to a Non-Canadian Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

 

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Treaty”), all proposed amendments to the Tax Act and the Treaty publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and our understanding of the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”). It has been assumed that all such proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed and that there will be no other relevant change in any governing law or administrative policy or assessing practice, whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action, although no assurances can be given in this respect. This summary does not take into account Canadian provincial, U.S. federal, state or other foreign income tax law or practice.

 

Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed in this summary, for the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of common shares must be determined in Canadian dollars based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada on the date such amount first arose or such other rate of exchange as may be acceptable to CRA.

97


 

 

 

 

 

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, holders of common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-Canadian Holder by us will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. The Tax Act imposes withholding tax at a rate of 25%, although such rate may be reduced by virtue of an applicable tax treaty. For example, under the Treaty, where dividends on the common shares are considered to be paid to a Non-Canadian Holder that is the beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to all of the benefits of, the Treaty, or a qualifying person, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15% (or to 5% if such Non-Canadian Holder is a qualifying person that is a company that for purposes of Article X(2)(a) of the Treaty owns at least 10% of our voting shares). We will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any dividend and remit it to the Canadian government for the Non-Canadian Holder’s account. A disposition of common shares to us may in certain circumstances result in a deemed dividend.

 

Disposition

 

A Non-Canadian Holder will not be subject to Canadian tax under the Tax Act on a capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of our common shares unless, at the time of disposition, such common shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Canadian Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Canadian Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident.

 

If a common share is listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX and NASDAQ) at the time it is disposed of, such common share will generally not constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Canadian Holder unless, at that time or at any particular time within the preceding 60 months,

25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock was owned by one or any combination of (1) the Non-Canadian Holder, (2) persons with whom the Non-Canadian Holder did not deal with at “arm’s length” (within the meaning of the Tax Act), and (3) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Holder or a person described in (2) holds a membership directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and
more than 50% of the fair market value of the common share was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such foregoing properties, whether or not such properties exist.

 

If a common share is taxable Canadian property to a Non-Canadian Holder that is a qualifying person, any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of such share will nevertheless generally not be subject to Canadian federal income tax by virtue of the Treaty if the value of the common share at the time of the disposition or deemed disposition is not derived principally from “real property situated in Canada” for purposes of the Treaty.

A Non-Canadian Holder whose shares may constitute taxable Canadian property is urged to consult with the Non- Canadian Holder’s own tax advisors.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. Except as discussed below, this summary does not discuss applicable income tax reporting requirements. This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. Each prospective U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities upon which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.

 

Scope of this Summary

 

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the "Canada-U.S. Tax Convention"), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

 

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of common shares acquired pursuant to this Form 20-F that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

99


 

 

 

 

 

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons has the authority to make all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

Non-U.S. Holders

 

For purposes of this summary, a "non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of common shares that is not a U.S. Holder and is not a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

 

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

 

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own common shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquired common shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold common shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); or (h) U.S. Holders that own, have owned or will own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the outstanding shares of the Company. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act; (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold common shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose common shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares.

 

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity and the partners (or other owners) of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners. This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such owner. Partners of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

Ownership and Disposition of Common Shares

 

The following discussion is subject in its entirety to the rules described below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Taxation of Distributions

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a common share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian or foreign income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated "earnings and profits" of the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated "earnings and profits" of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such common shares (see "Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares" below). However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the common shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on common shares generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received deduction" available to U.S. corporate shareholders receiving dividends from U.S. corporations.

Subject to applicable limitations and provided the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada - U.S. Tax Convention or the common shares are readily tradable on a United States securities market, dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that the Company not be classified as a PFIC in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

 

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder's tax basis in such common shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, such common shares are held for more than one year.

Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in common shares generally will be such U.S. Holder's U.S. dollar cost for such common shares, which if the consideration is paid in Canadian dollars, is determined under the principles described in “Receipt of Foreign Currency” below.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

Based on the market price of our Common Shares and the composition of our income and assets, including goodwill, we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year ending December 31, 2025. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year, and the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects. Moreover, the value of our assets for the purposes of the PFIC determination will

101


 

 

 

 

 

generally be determined by reference to the market price of our Common Shares, which could fluctuate significantly. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we are not a PFIC for the current taxable year or will not be classified as a PFIC in the future.

In general, we will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which:
at least 75% of our gross income is passive income, or
at least 50% of the value (determined based on a quarterly average) of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

 

For purposes of the PFIC provisions, “gross income” is determined using U.S. federal income tax principles and generally includes sales revenues less cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources and “passive income” generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person). The “value of our assets” generally is determined based on fair value at each quarter. If we own at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning our proportionate share of the other corporation’s assets and receiving our proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Common Shares, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of our common shares. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over a U.S. Holder’s holding period for our Common Shares,
the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and
the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

U.S. Holders will be required to file IRS Form 8621 if they hold our Common Shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC.

 

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, we will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such holder for all subsequent years during which such common shares continue to be held, even if we cease to meet the threshold requirements for PFIC status. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the availability of a “deemed sale” election that in certain circumstances would allow such holder to terminate PFIC status with respect to such common shares.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Common Shares and any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC, or a lower-tier PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules on (i) excess distributions by the lower-tier PFIC, and (ii) a disposition of shares of a lower-tier PFIC, in each case as if the U.S. Holder held such shares directly, even though the holders have not received the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions directly. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

102


 

 

 

 

 

In lieu of being subject to the excess distribution rules discussed above with respect to our Common Shares (but not with respect to any lower-tier PFIC), a U.S. Holder may make an election to include gain on the stock of a PFIC as ordinary income under a mark-to-market method, provided that such stock is regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Our common shares will be treated as “regularly traded” in any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of such shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter of such year. Nasdaq, on which the common shares are traded, is a qualified exchange for this purpose.

If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, it will include in each year we are a PFIC as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of such U.S. Holder’s common shares at the end of the year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares. A U.S. Holder will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss in each such year the excess of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares over their fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, any gain the U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of its common shares of in a year that we are a PFIC we will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years that we are a PFIC unless the common shares are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable in their particular circumstances.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may avoid the rules described above by electing to treat us (and any lower-tier PFIC) as a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF, under Section 1295 of the Code. A QEF election requires a U.S. Holder to include currently in income each year its pro rata share of a PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gains, regardless of whether or not such ordinary earnings and gains are actually distributed. Thus, a U.S. Holder could have a tax liability with respect to such ordinary earnings or gains without a corresponding receipt of cash. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares of a QEF will be increased to reflect the amount of the taxed but undistributed income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a corresponding reduction of basis in the shares and will not be taxed again as a distribution to the U.S. Holder. In addition, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss on the disposition of common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares. To make a QEF election, a U.S. Holder will need to have an annual information statement from the PFIC setting forth the earnings and capital gains for the year. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences of making a protective QEF election or other consequences of the QEF election. Upon request of a U.S. Holder, we will provide the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make the QEF election. However, no assurance can be given that such QEF information will be available for any lower-tier PFIC that we do not control. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of holding our common shares if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

 

Additional Considerations

 

Additional Tax on Passive Income

 

103


 

 

 

 

 

Individuals, estates and certain trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on "net investment income" including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in certain trades or businesses). Special rules apply to PFICs. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

 

Receipt of Foreign Currency

 

The amount of any distribution paid in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder in connection with the ownership of the Common Shares, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as translated into U.S. dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receipt of the payment, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in Canadian dollars and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method with respect to foreign currency. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars, including the possibility for an accrual taxpayer to make an election to recognize foreign currency gain or loss on the purchase or sale of common shares on the settlement date of such purchase or sale.

 

Foreign Tax Credit

 

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder's income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder's "foreign source" taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder's worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder's various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either "foreign source" or "U.S. source." Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the common shares that is treated as a "dividend" may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. Certain Treasury Regulations further restrict the ability of any such credit based on the nature of the tax imposed by the non-U.S. jurisdiction, although the IRS has provided temporary relief from the application of certain aspects of these regulations until new guidance or regulations are issued. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

104


 

 

 

 

 

Special rules apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, non-U.S. taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complex, and a U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding their application to the U.S. Holder.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a non-U.S. corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of "specified foreign financial assets" includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, if held for investment and not in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity. U.S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their common shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns on IRS Form 8938, and, if applicable, filing obligations relating to the PFIC rules, including possible reporting on IRS Form 8621.

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman of (a) distributions on the common shares, and (b) proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares generally will be subject to information reporting. In addition, backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24% for the 2018 to 2025 tax years (increasing to 28% for tax years after 2025), may apply to such payments if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder's correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding. Certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner. The information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply even if, under the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, payments are exempt from the dividend withholding tax or otherwise eligible for a reduced withholding rate.

 

This discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute an exhaustive description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirements. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

ITEM 11: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments that could be affected by market risk include cash, investment portfolio, credit facilities, debentures, derivative financial assets and derivative financial liabilities.

 

Interest rate risk

Changes in market interest rates may have an effect on the cash flows associated with some financial assets and liabilities, known as cash flow risk, and on the fair value of other financial assets or liabilities, known as price risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily relating to its credit facility that bears interest fluctuating with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The credit facility does not have a SOFR floor. As at December 31, 2025, SOFR is 3.87% (December 31, 2024 – 4.49%). For the year ended December 31, 2025, a 100-basis point change in SOFR would increase or decrease credit facility interest expense by $455 (December 31, 2024 – $315). The debentures have fixed rates of interest and are not subject to variability in cash flows due to interest rate risk.

 

 

Currency risk

ITEM 15: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

B.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

● pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

● provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors;

● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

All internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm as the Company is not an accelerated or large accelerated filer.

D.
Changes in Internal Controls

Management has evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There have been no material changes to the internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by the annual report.

ITEM 16: [RESERVED]

A.
Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board has considered the extensive financial experience of Ms. McAlister, Mr. Payne and Ms. Floyd and has determined that each is (i) financially literate in accordance with NI 52-110 and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and (ii) an independent director as that term is defined by the applicable Canadian and SEC rules and in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.

 

Specifically, for the purposes of NI 52‑110, an individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the issuer’s financial statements. Additionally, Mr. Payne qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. All members of the Audit Committee have experience reviewing financial statements and dealing with related accounting and auditing issues. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – A. Directors and Senior Management" for the education and experience of each member of the Audit Committee relevant to the performance of his duties as a member of the Audit Committee.

 

B.
Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all officers, employees, contractors, and members of the Board (the “Code of Conduct”) that complies with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. The Code of Conduct includes, among other things, written standards for the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, which are required by the SEC for a code of ethics applicable to such officers. A copy of the Code of Conduct can be accessed electronically at https://orion-digital.com/corporate-governance.

The Audit Committee is also required to approve the engagement letter for all non‑audit services and estimated fees thereof, other than those for de minimis services or routine advisory work as required by management during the year. The pre‑approval process for non‑audit services will also involve a consideration of the potential impact of such services on the independence of the external auditors. The Audit Committee has also established an External Auditor Hiring Policy.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.

Orion Digital’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program in March 2022 with authorization to purchase up to US$10 million of common shares. Orion Digital may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The actual timing and amount of future repurchases are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors.

F.
Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Effective October 1, 2024, at the request of the Company, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and the Company appointed MNP LLP to fill the vacancy, and to hold such position until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. The resignation of KPMG as auditor of the Company and the appointment of MNP as auditor of the Company were considered and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for either of the past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and through the date of KPMG’s dismissal, there were (i) no “disagreements” between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years and (ii) there was no reportable event requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim periods prior to the engagement of MNP, neither we nor anyone on behalf of us has consulted with MNP regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that MNP concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of the instructions to Form 20-F, or (iii) any reportable event pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F.

 

We furnished a copy of the disclosures in this Annual Report to KPMG, requesting that KPMG furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter has been filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereof.

 

 

G.
Corporate Governance.

As a British Columbia corporation listed on Nasdaq, we are not required to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Section 5615(a)(3) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules permits Nasdaq to grant exemptions to a foreign private issuer for certain provisions of the Rule 5600 series, Rule 5250(b)(3) and Rule 5250(d). We are organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and our Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX. We comply with the applicable laws of Canada and rules and regulations of the TSX, including rules related to corporate governance practices. A description of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules is as follows:

 

Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirement

 

The Nasdaq minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting under Section 5620(c) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules is one-third of the outstanding shares of common voting stock. In addition, a company listed on Nasdaq is required to state a quorum requirement in its by-laws. Our quorum requirement is set forth in our articles. A quorum for our shareholder meeting is two persons, who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate hold at least 25% of the issued shares of the Company entitled

114


 

 

 

 

 

to be voted at the meeting (subject to the special rights or restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of our shares).

 

Shareholder Approval Exemption

 

Section 5635 of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules sets forth circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to certain types of security issuances. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, a company must receive prior shareholder approval for transactions involving: (1) the sale, issuance or potential issuance by a listed company of its common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for its common stock) (i) at a price less than the greater of book value or market value, and (ii) which together with sales by officers, directors, or substantial stockholders, is equal to 20% or more of the company’s shares of common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance; or (2) the sale, issuance or potential issuance by a listed company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable common stock) (i) at a price less than the greater of book value or market value, and (ii) is equal to 20% or more of the company’s shares of common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance. In the event of an issuance meeting the criteria set forth above, we may not be required to seek prior shareholder approval under applicable Canadian law and the rules of the TSX, and, if that is the case, we will submit a certification to Nasdaq from independent Canadian counsel to such effect.

 

The foregoing is consistent with the applicable laws in Canada and the rules of the TSX.

J.
Insider trading policies

 

We have adopted a comprehensive Insider Trading Policy that applies to all our employees, contractors, consultants, and members of our Board of Directors. The policy also applies to persons or companies who acquire information from a source known by them to be in a special relationship with Orion Digital.

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits trading in Orion Digital securities by any person who possesses material, non-public information relating to Orion Digital. Under the policy, material information is defined as any information relating to our business and affairs that results in or would reasonably be expected to result in a significant change in the market price or value of any of our securities.

Key provisions of our Insider Trading Policy include:

1.
Trading Restrictions: Persons in possession of material non-public information are prohibited from trading in our securities until the information has been fully disclosed to the public and a reasonable period of time has passed for the information to be disseminated.
2.
Blackout Periods: We maintain regular blackout periods during which trading in Orion Digital securities is prohibited. These periods commence at the close of trading on the last business day of each fiscal quarter or year-end and end at the close of business on the first trading day following our public release of quarterly or annual results.

115


 

 

 

 

 

3.
Pre-clearance Requirements: All insiders must provide prior notification to our Chief Financial Officer before trading in any securities of Orion Digital and receive confirmation to proceed with their trade.
4.
Long-term Investment Perspective: Our policy prohibits insiders from engaging in short selling or trading in call or put options on Orion Digital securities. We encourage acquiring our securities only as a long-term investment.
5.
Confidentiality: The policy requires maintaining undisclosed material information in strict confidence and prohibits "tipping" or passing such information to others except in the necessary course of business.
6.
Reporting Requirements: Reporting Insiders, as defined under Canadian securities laws, must file insider reports through the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI) within 10 days of becoming a Reporting Insider and within five days of any subsequent trade.
7.
Sanctions: Non-compliance with the policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment, in addition to potential civil and criminal penalties under applicable securities laws.

Our Insider Trading Policy is reviewed at least annually by Management and approved by the Board of Directors when material amendments are made. A copy of the Insider Trading Policy has been filed herewith as Exhibit 11.1.

 

K.
Cybersecurity

 

Risk Management and Strategy

Orion Digital has established an information security framework that includes policies, procedures and mechanisms to protect against and minimize the impact of a cyberattack. Our strategy includes, but is not limited to, cyber security risk assessment and information security governance programs, information technology safeguards and controls, use of encryption, managing risks related to third-party service providers, vulnerability tests and compliance monitoring, employee training and awareness, and incident response plans.

The Company’s IT & Compliance departments manage the security monitoring and incident program, coordinating with Company engineers, compliance team members and senior management, along with third parties as needed, across our operating companies. All company employees undergo mandatory annual cybersecurity awareness training, which includes topics on the Company’s policies and procedures for reporting potential incidents. The Company evaluates emerging risks, regulations, and compliance matters and updates the policies and procedures accordingly on an ongoing basis.

The Company has a vendor management program that evaluates and oversees cybersecurity risks related to third party vendors providing services to the Company. Security reviews are conducted on third-party service providers with access to personal, confidential, or proprietary information to ensure they meet our security standards.

Third-party consultants and service providers are engaged, where appropriate, to test or otherwise assist with the protection of our information and IT systems and network. The Company is also subject to examinations by applicable regulators.

116


 

 

 

 

 

There can be no assurance that our cyber security risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information.

Although Orion Digital has implemented the cybersecurity processes described above and we have not identified any cybersecurity incidents or threats that have materially affected us or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, we remain exposed to cybersecurity incidents which could have a material adverse affect on our business, operations and financial results (see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors”).

Cybersecurity Governance

Our board of directors has overall oversight responsibility for our cyber risk management. Orion Digital’s Chief Operating Officer in charge of operations, oversees the Company’s cybersecurity program and personnel and Orion Digital’s senior management team is engaged as appropriate in assessing Orion Digital’s cyber risk tolerance and are informed about and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

Orion Digital’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors are informed of cybersecurity matters through quarterly reports from the senior management team.
