Northstar Raises $1.0 Million in Debenture Proceeds

CALGARY, AB, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) ("Northstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a second closing of unsecured debentures totaling $1,000,000 (the "Financing"). This closing was completed on terms that are substantially similar to the debentures previously announced by the Company on December 9, 2025. Certain minor changes to the terms were agreed to with subscribers under the Financing, principally relating to the number of warrants issuable and the applicable exercise price. The terms of the Financing are set out below:

 Unit composition:       
 $5,000 face value debenture with 2,500 detachable non-transferable whole warrants per unit



 Coupon:                 
 9.0%, paid semi-annually in cash or shares (as described below)



 Total proceeds:                                                                      
        $1,000,000 (200 units)



 Warrant exercise price:                                                                   
        $0.35 per warrant



 Warrant term:           
 36 months from closing

"This Financing reflects our continued commitment to minimizing the dilution from our funding strategies as we advance Northstar's commercial objectives and support the continued ramp-up of operations at Empower Calgary," said Aidan Mills, CEO of Northstar. "We are excited with the progress to date and will provide an operational update in late February."

The Financing was entirely subscribed by arm's length parties, all of whom are existing investors of the Company. Use of proceeds will be directed to ramp-up operations at the Company's Empower Environmental Solutions Calgary Facility ("Empower Calgary") and for general corporate purposes. The majority of the Financing was sourced through a finders fee arrangement with Leede Financial Inc. ("Leede"). The Company paid Leede a cash commission of $45,000.

Interest payable on the debenture may be satisfied by the issuance of common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed price equal to the ten-day VWAP of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.

All securities issued in connection with the Financing are subject to a four month and a day statutory hold period expiring May 24, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities legislation. While the Company has received conditional approval of the Financing from the TSXV, closing remains subject to final acceptance by the TSXV.

Northstar looks forward to providing an operation update in late February highlighting progress as the Empower Calgary facility continues to ramp up.
