NORTHFIELD CLOSES $15 MILLION BROKERED FINANCING

Northfield Capital Corp. has closed its previously announced, upsized brokered financing of 2,727,272 units of the company at a price of $5.50 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $15-million. Each unit consists of one Class A restricted voting share of the company and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional share at an exercise price of $7.50 per share at any time from Feb. 9, 2026, until Dec. 10, 2028, subject to adjustment in certain events.

Integrity Capital Group Inc. acted as the sole agent and bookrunner under the offering. In connection with the offering and as consideration for its services, the company paid to the agent and certain selling group members a cash commission, and issued to the agent and certain selling group members 120,000 non-transferable compensation options of the company. Each compensation option entitles the holder thereof to acquire one share at a price of $5.50 per share at any time on or before Dec. 10, 2028, subject to adjustment in certain events.

The net proceeds from the units issued under the offering will be used to finance operational expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

Robert Cudney, president and chief executive officer of the company, noted: "We are grateful for the strong support from investors and thank all the advisers involved in completing this financing. This capital strengthens Northfield's position as we continue to build long-term shareholder value."

The units were offered pursuant to Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions) as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 (Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption), and will not be subject to a hold period under Canadian securities laws. An amended and restated offering document dated Dec. 1, 2025, related to the offering can be accessed under the company's issuer profile at SEDAR+ and at the company's website.

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9

Robert Cudney, the president, chief executive officer and a director of the company, Michael Leskovec, the chief financial officer of the company, and Eric Klein, a director of the company, each participated in the offering. The participation in the offering of such insiders constitutes a related-party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) and Policy 5.9 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) of the TSX Venture Exchange. However, the participation by such insiders of the company in the offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the units, insofar as it involves such insiders, exceeded 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101. The exact extent of participation by insiders of the company in the offering was not determined sufficiently in advance of the anticipated closing date thereof, and, accordingly, the company did not file a material change report relating to the offering fewer than 21 days before the closing of the offering, which it deemed reasonable and necessary in the circumstances to meet the company's capital requirements.

Class B share issue

In connection with the closing of the offering, the company has also issued to Mr. Cudney an aggregate of 3,580 additional Class B multiple voting shares of the company on a non-brokered private placement basis at an issue price of $6.40 per share (in respect of 1,192 Class B shares) and an issue price of $6.20 per share (in respect of 2,388 Class B shares), for gross proceeds of $22,434.40.

Immediately prior to the Class B share issue, Mr. Cudney beneficially owned, or exercised control and direction over, Class B shares, representing approximately 39.6 per cent of the total voting power represented by the issued and outstanding voting securities of the company. As a result of the Class B share issue, Mr. Cudney continues to beneficially own, or exercise control and direction over, Class B shares, representing approximately 39.6 per cent of the total voting power represented by the issued and outstanding voting securities of the company. This does not account for any Class A shares or other convertible securities held by Mr. Cudney. The Class B share issue was undertaken for Mr. Cudney to maintain his pro rata voting interest in respect of the Class B shares (being the total voting power represented by the Class B shares beneficially owned by Mr. Cudney immediately prior to the closing of the offering) following the completion of the offering. The Class B shares were issued in accordance with the resolutions of the shareholders of the company passed at the meeting of shareholders of the company held in December, 1986, which authorized the board of directors of the company to issue additional Class B shares to Mr. Cudney at an issue price equal to the market price of the Class A restricted voting shares of the company on the day before the board approves such issuance.

All Class B shares issued pursuant to the Class B share issue are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date hereof. The company intends to use the net proceeds of the Class B share issue for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Mr. Cudney is the president, chief executive officer and a director of the company, and, accordingly, is a non-arm's-length party (as such term is defined in the policies of the exchange) in relation to the company and a related party of the company pursuant to MI 61-101. The participation in the Class B share issue by a related party of the company constitutes a related-party transaction as defined under MI 61-101 and within the meaning of Policy 5.9 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) of the exchange. However, pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the company's shareholders in respect of the Class B share issue due to the fair market value of the related-party participation being below 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101.

The offering and the Class B share issue remain subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Juno Corp. financing

Separately, the company is also pleased to announce that the company has acquired an aggregate of 875,000 common shares of Juno to maintain its pro rata ownership interest in Juno upon completion of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of Juno. The participation by the company constitutes a non-arm's-length transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) and a related-party transaction under MI 61-101 as the company is a control person of Juno (by virtue of having beneficial ownership of common shares of Juno carrying more than 20 per cent of the voting rights attached to all the outstanding voting securities of Juno). However, pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the company's shareholders in respect of the participation in the Juno offering due to the fair market value of such related-party participation being below 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101.
