Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2026) - CVW Sustainable Royalties Inc. (TSXV: CVW) (OTCQX: CVWFF) (FSE: TMD) ("CVW Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026. For complete details, please refer to the Q1 2026 Condensed Interim Financial Statements and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis, available on SEDAR+: www.sedarplus.ca or on the Company's website: www.CVWSustainableRoyalties.com.

Q1 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights

• On February 3, 2026, the Company closed a gross revenue royalty agreement with Relocalize Inc. ("Relocalize") for total capital of up to $26.5 million, including $4.0 million of upfront capital and an option to invest an additional $22.5 million across 13 future Relocalize commercial facilities. The first tranche of $2.5 million was funded during the quarter, entitling the Company to a 25.0% royalty on gross revenues from Relocalize's facility located in Plant City, Florida.
• During the quarter, the Company closed the brokered portion of its upsized private placement financing for gross proceeds of $50.0 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company completed the $50.0 million strategic investment by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax"), bringing total gross proceeds raised so far in 2026 to approximately $100.0 million.

In March 2026, Northstar confirmed its decision to capitalize the coupon on the royalty debenture for the period from September 13, 2025 to March 12, 2026, increasing the principal balance to approximately $16.2 million and increasing the Company's royalty rate to approximately 13.9% at each of Northstar's next two commercial facilities beyond Calgary. Northstar continues to debottleneck and ramp-up its operations in Calgary as it progresses toward stable, long-term production. Relocalize's Florida facility is ramping up operations at the Winn-Dixie distribution center in Plant City, with ice already being sold in multiple Winn-Dixie stores. Relocalize has ambitious expansion plans, and CVW Royalties is positioned to participate in that growth through its option to invest up to an additional $22.5 million across 13 future Relocalize commercial facilities.

Akshay Dubey, CEO of CVW Royalties, stated: "The first quarter of 2026 was transformational for the Company. In February, we welcomed Relocalize as our second royalty partner, funded the first $2.5 million tranche of our investment, and secured the ability to participate in 15 total deployments. This royalty demonstrates the scalability of our financing model and has the potential to generate meaningful long-term value and recurring cash flows for shareholders. In addition, the Company has raised total gross proceeds of $100.0 million so far in 2026 through strong demand from investors, materially strengthening our balance sheet and positioning us to accelerate the growth of our royalty platform. We remain focused on disciplined capital deployment, advancing the commercialization of our CVW™ technology, and identifying additional high-quality royalty opportunities that create long-term value for our shareholders."
