Transactions increase total portfolio of purchased carbon credit inventory to 3.7 million credits

Advances the Company's strategic plan to broaden and diversify its asset portfolio, as a complement to its carbon management and project investment businesses

Company appoints Carl Stanton and Wray Thorn to its Board of Directors

Sacramento, California--(Newsfile Corp. - November 8, 2024) - DevvStream Corp. (NASDAQ: DEVS) ("DevvStream" or the "Company"), a leading carbon credit project co-development and generation firm specializing in technology-based solutions, today announced definitive agreements for the purchase of 2.5 million carbon credits (the "Purchase") in exchange for common shares of DevvStream. The carbon credits purchased were selected from a field of over 120 million potential candidates and are representative of multiple key categories: nature-based, biochar, and renewable power. Combined with the 1.2 million credits previously acquired from the Ipixuna REDD+ Project, the Purchase brings DevvStream's total portfolio of purchased credits to 3.7 million.

The Company's carbon portfolio serves as an important component of its strategic plan, alongside its carbon management and project investment initiatives. The Purchase immediately broadens and diversifies DevvStream's asset base, providing a strategic complement to its own carbon credit generation programs and carbon sequestration offerings. The timing of the Purchase was driven by two high-level prevailing trends: (a) lingering uncertainty within the carbon market leading to broad price declines, and (b) an overall decrease in carbon credit issuances and retirements. Because the global carbon credit market value is expected to grow to $2.68 trillion by 2028 according to Research and Markets, DevvStream's management believes that the current downward trends signify an important buying opportunity. Moreover, the Company believes that its unique, capital-light business model and existing customer relationships will enable rapid value generation from its portfolio of credits.
