| The INNOVA board of directors has unanimously recommended that INNOVA shareholders accept the Offer and tender their common shares thereto. |
The Consideration
If all conditions of the Offer are satisfied or waived, holders of INNOVA shares that accept the Offer will receive $2.50 in cash per common share.

If, at the Expiry Time, all of the conditions are satisfied or waived, Pollard Banknote will immediately take up the common shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn, and will pay for common shares taken up under the Offer as soon as possible but in any event not later than three business days after the common shares are taken up.

Those documents are accessible under INNOVA's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Shareholders are urged to read such documents and the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery which accompanied the original offer to purchase and circular and to consider the important information set out in those documents.
Shareholder Questions and How to Tender
INNOVA shareholders that have already deposited their common shares to the Offer do not need to take any further action.
