Input's Board of Directors has met and confirmed a return to the Company's strategic plan that was in place prior to August 12, 2020.

Input will reinstate the quarterly dividend and continue its Normal Course Issuer Bid program. As of the most recently reported quarter, Input's book value per share was $1.34*.
Input's Board will continue to consider internal or external proposals that would enhance and grow shareholder value.
ABOUT INPUT
Input is an agriculture commodity streaming company with a focus on canola, the largest and most profitable crop in Canadian agriculture. The Company has developed several flexible and competitive forms of financing which help western Canadian canola farmers solve working capital, mortgage finance and canola marketing challenges and improve the financial position of their farms. Under a streaming contract, Input has provided capital in exchange for a stream of canola via multi-year fixed-volume canola purchase contracts. As of May 2019, Input has postponed capital deployment operations in light of canola trade uncertainties with China and the effect of this uncertainty on capital availability.
