LongPoint Announces Potential Trading Halt and Change for MSTZ

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 6, 2026) - LongPoint Asset Management Inc. ("LongPoint") today is announcing a potential trading halt and change of operations of the shares of the SavvyShort (-2X) MSTR ETF ("MSTZ" or the "ETF") listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").

MSTZ's investment objective is to seek daily investment results that endeavour to correspond, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions, and other transaction costs, to two times inverse (-2X) the daily return (on a percentage basis) of the class A common stock of MicroStrategy Inc. ("Strategy"). MSTZ does not hedge its currency exposure to the U.S. dollar. MSTZ seeks to achieve its objective through the use of forward contracts with bank counterparties.

Based on MSTZ's stated investment objectives, you could lose your entire investment in one day if Strategy experiences a single-day price increase greater than 50%. The Manager's decision to potentially halt MSTZ follows the extreme volatility today on Strategy. The unexpected level of volatility has increased the risk of the net asset value of MSTZ going to zero today.

The Manager is advising investors and prospective investors that if the share price of Strategy reaches US$139.09 today, which is a 30% price change from last night's close, it is anticipated that the shares of MSTZ will be halted. The price of MSTZ shares should approximate CAD $8.82 which would be a 60% drop from its net asset value per share of CAD $22.05 February 5, 2026. Based on discussions with the bank counterparties to the derivatives held by MSTZ, the ETF's exposure to MSTR is expected to be reduced to zero in such circumstances.

If trading in the shares of MSTZ is halted, LongPoint will work with the bank counterparties to determine an estimated per-share value of the ETF following the MSTR exposure in MSTZ being reduced to zero and will publicly announce such estimated value. In addition, LongPoint will work with applicable regulatory authorities and the TSX to have trading in MSTZ shares resumed as soon practicable thereafter. When trading in MSTZ resumes after having dropped 60% in price, MSTZ will only own cash and will no longer seek to achieve its objective to deliver daily investment results that endeavour to correspond to two times inverse (-2X) the daily return of Strategy.

The Manager continues to monitor the value of Strategy closely and will advise if any action on MSTZ is required in due course.

Investing in shares of MSTZ is speculative, can involve a high degree of risk and may only be suitable for persons who are able to assume the risk of losing their entire investment. Potential investors in MSTZ are reminded to read the prospectus, as amended from time to time, and all information available on www.sedar.com before investing. Investors should continue to monitor their investment daily.

MSTZ is an alternative mutual fund, and as such, is permitted to invest in asset classes or use investment strategies that are not permitted for other types of mutual funds. The ETF is highly speculative. The ETF uses a significant amount of leverage which magnifies gains and losses. They are intended for use in daily or short-term trading strategies by very knowledgeable, sophisticated investors. If you hold such an ETF for more than one day, your return could vary considerably from the ETF's daily target return. The negative effect of compounding on returns is more pronounced when combined with leverage and daily rebalancing in volatile markets. The ETF is not suitable for investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. In addition, the ETF is concentrated and non-diversified, meaning it is only exposed to a single common stock. As a result, the ETF's assets are more susceptible to the impact of any specific company event, or single economic, technological, or regulatory event, compared to a diversified portfolio.

MSTZ employs significant leverage, may experience amplified losses, and should not be expected to return -200% of its daily target over any period of time other than daily. An investor in the ETF could lose their entire investment within a single day if their daily target gains more than 50% that day. The returns of the ETF over periods longer than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from inverse performance of its daily target for the same period. This effect is more pronounced for the ETF as the volatility of the daily target and/or the period of time increases.
