WINCHESTER EQUITY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES ADOPTION OF SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTING

Winchester Equity Corp. has elected to rely on Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 and move to semi-annual financial reporting (SAR).

Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 allows eligible venture issuers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange to voluntarily move from a quarterly to a semi-annual financial reporting framework. The company's fiscal year ends on Dec. 31. Under the SAR pilot program, the company will be exempt from filing interim financial reports and related management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for its first and third quarters:

• Interim period: The company will not file an interim report for the first quarter (Q1) ending March 31, 2026, and the third quarter (Q3) ending Sept. 30, 2026.
• Continuing reporting: WEC will continue to file audited annual financial statements (due within 120 days of Dec. 31, 2026) and six-month interim financial reports (due within 60 days of June 30, 2026).

The company confirms it meets the pilot program's eligibility criteria, which include being a venture issuer with annual revenues of less than $10-million and maintaining a clean 12-month continuous disclosure record.

This news release is being filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.

We seek Safe Harbor.
