Northstar Adds to Working Capital Reserves via Several Initiatives

CALGARY, AB, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) ("Northstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a number of initiatives that will enhance working capital reserves heading into 2026. In total, the Company received $1.74 million.

Northstar successfully closed a first tranche non-brokered unit financing (the "Financing") on the following terms:

The Financing was entirely subscribed for by an arm's length third party, 1010770 B.C. Ltd. 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.

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 April 6, 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.

Secondly, the Company is also pleased to announce the receipt of Emission Reduction Alberta's ("ERA") Milestone 3 payment of $735,000. These funds will be directed exclusively to Empower Calgary operations. The payment follows the operational achievement of 80 tonnes per day from Empower Calgary. The Company is now focused on the final Milestone of the $7.1 million ERA grant, which totals approximately $1.2 million, inclusive of holdbacks from prior milestone achievements.

"The combination of these various initiatives greatly assists with effectively conducting operations at Calgary Empower and at the corporate level," stated Greg Phaneuf, VP Corporate Development & CFO. "We plan to continue to secure capital on this basis in the short term to bridge the Company to the point where production, revenues and the associated cash flows at Empower Calgary reach operational break even. Aside from the warrants issued in the Financing, non-dilutive bridge vehicles are preferred at this juncture of the Company's growth capital formulation strategy as we ruthlessly focus on operations at Empower Calgary."
