VANCOUVER, British Columbia — December 13, 2012 — Garmatex Technologies, Inc. (“Garmatex” or the
“Company”), an innovative leader in the research and development of scientifically engineered,
performance-inspired fabric technologies, is pleased to announce the signing of a 5 year licensing
contract with Pro-Formance Insights, R.A. Inc. (PFI), a Canadian company specializing in cut
resistant base layer protection apparel that safeguards against serious lacerations in sports, law
enforcement and other high-risk professions. PFI is selling their products through the brand names
BODYARMOUR® and BASE360™.

Doug Thom, CTO of Garmatex states; “This is truly an amazing breakthrough. By combining PFI’s
patented cut resistant technologies with our moisture management fabrics and patented T3® gusset
technology, this is truly the convergence of 2 superior technologies combined into 1 phenomenal
product. Whether you’re a hockey player trying to prevent skate cuts or a police officer exposed to
a dangerous situation, you now have the ultimate in comfort, performance and protection built into
one product.”

Rolf Loyens, President of PFI, is equally excited about this relationship. “This has been a
long process for us to find a partner that views performance and protection equally as important as
we do. In some cases, our users are on the front line putting their lives at risk therefore there
can be no compromise for quality; only the best will do.” Mr. Loyens also adds that; “We pre-tested
the product with our key influencers and the response by insiders to this new technology within our
2013 BODYARMOUR® and BASE360™ product line has been overwhelmingly positive. Hockey players are
looking to prevent severe lacerations from skates and the integration of protection in a light
weight performance fabric is establishing our base layer products as an integral piece of equipment
versus just an accessory.” Mr. Loyens comments that; “If one takes into account the multiple
applications for this technology like: hockey, ice sports, law enforcement, security, industrial
and military, the potential for this segment of the apparel market can be in excess of $400
million.”

Darren Berezowski, President of Garmatex suggests that; “This signing with PFI affirms our
goal at Garmatex towards continuing to license our leading-edge fabrics and technologies to premium
brands that are looking to use innovation to help improve lives around the world. Our technologies
combined with PFI’s technologies create a rather unique product which truly leverages both
companies into a strong market position. We are convinced that developing leading-edge technology
and partnering with like-minded companies will ultimately transform the materials industry and help
establish Garmatex as the leader for performance and fabric technologies.”

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — December 14, 2012 — Zepol Corporation, the leading trade intelligence company
reports that U.S. import volume in November, measured in TEUs (twenty-foot-containers), is down
12.8% from October and another 15.2% from November of last year. The total number of TEUs imported
for the month was 1,245,889. This is the lowest amount of U.S. imports for the month of November
since 2003. Hurricane Sandy on the east coast and labor strikes on the west certainly played a
large factor in the import slump. For the last two years, November imports have been over 1.4
million TEUs, though this year’s patterns have been changing. So far in 2012, the peak in imports
has shifted to earlier in the summer and there hasn’t been a rise in imports month-over-month since
July.

A Closer Look at U.S. Imports for November:

1. Exporting Countries – Imports from Asia dropped significantly in November,
which is a major contributor to the fall in U.S. imports. China and South Korea, the top Asian
exporters to the United States, decreased from October by 18.2% and 21.1%, respectively. Unlike
most regions, Europe actually increased in vessel exports to the United States by 4.5% from
October. Germany rose 4.8% and Italy increased 13% in November. Similar increases were also seen
from Belgium and Spain, but for some reason the United Kingdom dropped from October by nearly 6%.

2. U.S. Ports – The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach both had major
decreases in TEUs from October. This was partly due to the lack of imports in general, but also
because of labor strikes occurring at both pacific ports. The port of Newark and New York actually
rose in imports from October by 1.9% and was the only port in the top 10 to see a notable increase
for the month.

3. Carriers – Ocean carriers are singing the same tune as everything else in
November with large decreases coming from all of the top 20. Maersk Line, the leading carrier of
U.S. imports, dropped in TEUs by 6.6%. Mediterranean Shipping and APL Co. also decreased in TEUs by
10.3% and 14%, respectively. It’s not apparent why imports are so low in November and it will be
interesting to see if this declining trend will stick around in December.

Methodology:

Zepol’s data is derived from Bills of Lading entered into U.S. Customs and Border Protections
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). This information represents the number of House manifests
entered by importers of waterborne vessel goods. This is the earliest indicator for trade data
available for the previous month’s import activity. The data excludes shipments from empty
containers, excludes shipments labeled as freight remaining on board, and may contain other data
anomalies.
