Northstar Closes Final Tranche of US$10 Million Private Placement

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES/

CALGARY, AB, April 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) ("Northstar" or the "Company") announces that it has closed the second and final tranche ("Tranche 2") of its previously announced US$10,000,000 non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") for gross proceeds of US$1,000,000 (the "Private Placement").

Each Convertible Debenture has a 5-year term and will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum on the outstanding principal amount. The principal amount of the Convertible Debentures will be convertible into common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at the option of the holder at any time during the 5-year term from the date of issuance at a conversion price of US$0.20 per Common Share. Interest is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2026. The Company may, at its option and subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval and applicable laws, satisfy accrued and unpaid interest payable on an interest payment date by issuing Common Shares in lieu of cash. The deemed issue price per Common Share for any Common Shares issued in satisfaction of interest will be equal to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSXV for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date, converted into US$ using the 30-day average US$/C$ exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada for the 30 business days immediately preceding that interest payment date. If TSXV approval is not obtained, such interest will be payable in cash. In no circumstances will the deemed issue price per Common Share for any Common Shares issued in satisfaction of interest be less than the minimum price permitted by the TSXV, including the "Market Price" (as such term is defined in TSXV policies), and any such share issuances remain subject to TSXV acceptance and approval.

The Company may, at its option, force the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debentures, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (which is payable in cash unless, at the Company's option and subject to TSXV approval and applicable laws, is satisfied in Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debentures), upon not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the holders in the event that the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSXV exceeds C$0.75 per Common Share for ninety consecutive trading days.

In connection with closing of Tranche 2, the Company paid finder's fees to arm's length third parties, satisfied through the issuance of approximately 411,450 Common Shares. The finder's fee Common Shares are subject to the statutory hold period described below. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of Tranche 2 of the Private Placement for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.

The Convertible Debentures are not prepayable for 12 months following the date of issuance except with the prior written consent of the holder. The Convertible Debentures and any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of principal are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, expiring on August 3, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Private Placement will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
