(the “Company”) today announced its financial and operational results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The completion of the sale of Copperleaf in the third quarter of 2024 and the resulting injection of $70 million cash, substantially changed the Company’s portfolio. At June 30, 2024, the Company’s Net Assets were 95.7% publicly listed companies, 13.3% private unlisted companies and (-9.0%) cash and other assets net of liabilities. At September 30, 2024, Pender’s Net Assets were 38% publicly listed companies, 12.5% private unlisted companies, and 49.5% cash and other assets net of liabilities. Since the Copperleaf closing, Pender has been deploying cash into opportunities that it believes show promise and by September 30, 2024, the portfolio included $58 million of cash. By October 31, 2024, the cash balance was $35 million and by November 15, 2024, a further $8 million had been deployed into investments, and the Company’s Net Assets were 49% publicly listed companies, 28% private unlisted companies and 23% cash and other assets net of liabilities. In October, subsequent to the quarter end, the Company closed the purchase of four private technology companies from Pluribus Technologies. The acquisition was made by Pender Software Holdings (or “PSH”) a new entity owned 86% by Pender, with the balance owned by Acorn Partners Inc. (“Acorn”) and its principals. Acorn (www.acorncappartners.com) is a Vancouver based company that invests in tech companies and provides advisory services to clients. The four software companies acquired are each cash flow positive and stable. PSH is leaving existing management in place to facilitate a focus on operational excellence with strategic support and access to capital managed by Pender and Acorn. Ampere Chan, the founder and CEO of Acorn is the CEO of PSH. Pender intends to use PSH as a vehicle for investing in additional software companies. We believe this new enterprise has great potential. We believe that the Company continues to be well-positioned today to pursue its investment objectives and we continue to find attractive investments opportunities as valuations in micro and small cap stocks in North America remain attractive despite the recent rally this year. Investment results may be affected by future developments and new information that may emerge about broad economic conditions, inflation, central bank measures, geopolitical risks, market risk, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, geopolitical and other global events, factors that are beyond the Company’s control. While macro events have driven investor sentiment, we have remained focused on our bottom-up fundamental research to identify companies that can thrive in a wide range of economic scenarios. We believe that this environment provides compelling opportunities for long-term focused investors and that the Company is well-positioned to continue to pursue its investment objectives. As always, this quarter we worked closely with our private portfolio companies and certain of our public portfolio companies. We continued to acquire shares of the Company in the market under our NCIB because we believe the shares are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. On February 15, 2024, the Company launched a new NCIB, under which the Company may purchase a maximum of 630,188 shares, or 10% of the Company’s public float on launch date, during the one-year period ending February 14, 2025.

INVESTOR DEADLINE NEXT WEEK: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Announces that Edwards Lifesciences Corporation Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit - EWCalifornia Democrat flips final House seat, dealing Republicans narrow majorityTEHRAN – In a powerful address during the Student Day ceremony at the Sharif University of Technology, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran will not retreat in the face of any power, emphasizing the nation's strength and resilience. Addressing a gathering of students and professors, Pezeshkian underscored the vital role of youth in shaping the country’s future. Highlighting the significance of Student Day as a platform for demanding rights, Pezeshkian remarked, "Students are the hope for the country's future." He praised their ability to express their views freely, stating, "A student is not dependent on positions and ranks; they can speak the truth and defend rights without fear." Pezeshkian drew attention to recent student protests in the United States and Europe against the ongoing Israeli violence in Gaza and Lebanon, contrasting them with the relatively muted response from Iranian universities. He urged students to raise their voices against injustices, saying, "When a group of killers claims to advocate for human rights while committing atrocities, it is essential to protest against that." Elsewhere in his address, Pezeshkian emphasized the importance of capable individuals stepping forward to achieve the nation’s vision as outlined by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution. "The country belongs to you," Pezeshkian declared, calling for unity among the youth to bring about necessary changes in leadership. He underscored that for the nation to progress toward its envisioned future, elite and competent individuals must take charge while those lacking capability must step aside. The president highlighted the need for a stronger connection between government and universities, stating, "Our universities are of the second generation. They need to be upgraded to the third and fourth generations." He elaborated that a fourth-generation university is one that integrates with society to address real-world problems, while a fifth-generation institution should be focused on long-term goals, looking a century into the future. Addressing Iranian student movements, Pezeshkian expressed his expectations for them to become advocates for rights, emphasizing that such advocacy transcends political affiliations. "Advocates for rights do not recognize left or right. We must dialogue together," he said. He stressed the importance of informed decision-making, insisting that policies should be grounded in scientific research, international experience, and expert consultation. The president also highlighted the critical need for Iran to implement Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards internally, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in financial transactions. He urged students and academics to collaborate in addressing systemic issues that he said hinder the nation’s economic stability. The president called for a united effort from universities and elite professionals to tackle these challenges, stating, "With the help of universities and elites, we can solve problems." Speaking on the matter of official appointments, Pezeshkian explained that the selection process for managers is based on individual capabilities, social capabilities, and structural capabilities. He emphasized the importance of education and communication skills in determining leadership potential. He posed a critical question regarding societal cohesion: "Are our doctors, engineers, merchants, and industrialists currently moving towards a clear goal, or is everyone moving in a different direction?" Pezeshkian argued that a society with well-defined goals and collaborative efforts among its professionals is more likely to thrive than one where individuals operate in isolation. As part of his ongoing efforts to improve governance, Pezeshkian announced plans for a meeting with newly appointed governors to discuss strategies for enhancing local administration and addressing community needs. He remains optimistic about the potential for collective action to create a more organized and purposeful society.

The lack of a clear identity and playing style is another concern for Manchester United. In the past, the team was known for its attacking flair and attractive football. However, in recent times, they have struggled to find their rhythm and assert dominance on the pitch. The absence of a cohesive game plan and a cutting edge in front of goal have resulted in a string of underwhelming performances, leaving fans disillusioned with the team's direction.The University Health Network, one of Canada’s largest research hospital systems, will expand cancer care programs with the purchase of a 15-storey building in downtown Toronto. The expansion comes as UHN’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre has reached capacity with increasing numbers of patients. The hospital network made the announcement from the second floor of the newly acquired space, at 522 University Ave. CEO Kevin Smith and Dr. Keith Stewart, director at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, addressed a room of reporters and health-care providers.. The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre sees almost 20,000 new cancer patients every year and has now reached the numbers that were anticipated for 2030. “But it’s good news ... we’re identifying cancer earlier, we’re seeing better survivorship,” said Smith. Other necessary appointments equate to nearly 200,000 follow-up visits and 5,000 cancer surgeries, said Stewart. “We have simply outgrown our current space.” Premier Doug Ford and Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones also attended. “UHN’s expansion of care will ensure families in Toronto and indeed across Ontario can connect to the care they need when and where they need it for decades to come,” said Jones. The building, which cost $79 million, sits on the southwest corner of University Avenue and Elm Street. The space will support expanding programs in cancer care, research and education at Princess Margaret and Toronto General Hospital and will also serve as a new training ground for UHN’s Michener Institute of Education. With the additional space, UHN will have the ability to focus on new clinical research in cancer, develop innovative treatments and technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and educate the next generation of cancer experts. Funds to support the new building’s operation will be supported, in part, by the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. When asked about the disparities in Black women’s health when it comes to breast cancer, in particular, both Smith and Stewart told the Star the new space will provide opportunities for research and education helping to better understand gaps in cancer research, care and education. “One of the major advantages we have in cancer research is living in Toronto because this is the most ethnically diverse city in the world,” said Stewart. “We have a great opportunity to teach the world. Are we missing populations? Do we not to have the right genomic data on those populations? Are we culturally sensitive to their needs, such as skin tone. And of course, this building will accelerate that.” UHN plans to begin retrofitting the building and moving people in within the next few months and be fully operational in a matter of years, said Stewart. The University Hospital Network also includes Toronto Western Hospital, the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and West Park Healthcare Centre.Promoting Sports: A Defence and Safeguard for the Nation
