Hempalta Corp. Announces Wind-Up of Hemp Processing Operations and Initiation of Strategic Alternatives Review

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2025) - Hempalta Corp. (TSXV: HEMP) ("Hempalta" or the "Company"), has commenced an orderly wind-up of its hemp processing operations following a review of its business and financial position.

Since its founding, Hempalta has pursued opportunities in industrial hemp, including the development of hemp-based consumer products, hurd for hempcrete, and the introduction of hemp biochar. Through the Hemp Carbon Standard, Hempalta verified nearly 30,000 tons of carbon removal across a global network of farms, creating one of the first farmer-driven hemp carbon credit programs.

Despite these milestones, the Company has been unable to generate sustainable revenues or attract the level of capital required to continue. The processing operation proved capital-intensive, consumer product adoption was slower than required, and the voluntary carbon market developed more cautiously than anticipated. In addition, the Company's previously announced equipment sale did not close, leaving Hempalta without sufficient resources to continue operations.

Hempalta also announces that Adrian Stokes, Russell Wilson, Craig Steinberg and Dan Balaban have resigned from the Board of Directors along with Michael Ginevsky as corporate secretary. Candace Ryan will remain as Chief Financial Officer to support ongoing financial reporting and compliance requirements. Darren Bondar, CEO and Director of Hempalta, will continue to manage the equipment sale process and the ongoing marketing of the Company's carbon credits. In addition, Hempalta will initiate a review of strategic alternatives available to the Company, including without limitation, seeking an alternative financing, sale, merger or other business combination.

Further disclosure regarding the wind-up and strategic review process will be provided as material information becomes available.
