HAMPTON AGREES TO ISSUE SHARES FOR DEBT

Hampton Financial Corp. has reached agreements to settle all obligations under Hampton debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $4-million and to settle a quarterly interest payment under Hampton debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5.2-million in exchange for the issuance to the debentureholders of subordinate voting shares of Hampton at the deemed price of 40 cents per share. Hampton expects that the debt settlement transactions will close on or before Dec. 31, 2025, and would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 10,528,141 subordinate voting shares to the debentureholders. The transactions are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. This measure will serve to strengthen Hampton's balance sheet and reduce the cash cost of financing its operations. The company expects this to have a meaningful impact on 2026 results.
