Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH) ("SSC" or the "Company") announces that it has filed on SEDAR+ its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the related management's discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certificates (collectively, the "Annual Financials") which are available on SSC's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. SSC also announces that it intends to file its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the related management's discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certificates by August 28, 2026 (collectively, the "Q1 Financials"). On August 21, 2026, the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC"), the Company's principal regulator, approved an extension of the previously announced management cease trade order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") to August 28, 2026.

As previously announced, SSC entered into a restructuring process under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the "CCAA") (the "Restructuring") on February 27, 2026. See the Company's news release: CCAA Proceedings and Restructuring, dated July 28, 2026, which outlines the expected outcomes of the Restructuring.

Jeff Swainson, SSC's President & CEO stated: "Upon exiting the Restructuring, SSC's primary objective is to leverage its expanded net revenue (which increased 369% from $6,191,646 in 2023 to $29,058,839 in 2025), improved balance sheet (with total estimated debt reductions of up to $19.9 million), and streamlined cost structure (with total estimated cost reductions of up to $7.1 million per year) to drive operating and free cash flow from two revenue growth engines, Humble Grow Co. ("Humble") (cultivation) and ANC Inc. ("ANC") (manufacturing)."

Mr. Swainson continued: "At ANC, we are driving CPG revenue growth through a streamlined portfolio of brands with market traction. At Humble, we have made significant operational improvements that have increased cannabis flower yields by approximately 75-80% since June 2026 (with materially the same cash costs). We are currently advancing further yield and quality improvements through the addition of several exciting new genetics and enhanced environmental and plant control systems. Ultimately, we believe that Humble is capable of being one of the most productive indoor cultivation facilities in Canada not owned by a major licensed producer."

Should SSC close the Restructuring prior to September 30, 2026, the initial impacts of the Restructuring will be in SSC's financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the period ending September 30, 2026 (Q3 2026).

Q1 2026 Financials & MCTO Update

The delay in filing the Annual Financials has resulted in a delay of filing SSC's Q1 Financials. SSC expects to file its Q1 Financials on or before August 28, 2026. As previously announced, a MCTO was issued by the Company's principal regulator, the ASC, under NP 12-203 on May 4, 2026. The ASC has approved the extension of the MCTO to August 28, 2026.

Pursuant to the MCTO, management of the Company may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files the Q1 Financials and the MCTO is revoked. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company. The Company confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the above-noted filing requirements.

The Company confirms that (a) there have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative reporting guidelines under NP 12-203; (b) there has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the default announcements; and (c) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed. The Company will issue required bi-weekly updates regarding the MCTO until it is revoked.

Update on Private Placement and Shares for Debt Settlement

SSC also announces the extension of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 20,000,000 units of SSC ("Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1.0 million (the "Financing") and settlement of up to $5.975 million of convertible debentures of SSC (the "Debentures") and up to $1.6 million of promissory notes of the Company in Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit (the "Debt Settlement"). In addition, the conversion price of any Debentures not settled in Units will be amended from $1.00 per share to $0.15 per share and the exercise price of the common share purchase warrants issued with the Debentures will be amended from $1.20 per share to $0.25 per share (collectively, the "Debenture Amendment").

As of the date hereof, SSC has received subscriptions for $0.5 million of Units in the Financing and elections to convert an aggregate principal amount of $2.2 million of Debentures. The deadline to elect to convert Debentures was July 31, 2026.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of SSC and one common share purchase warrant of SSC (a "Warrant"), with each Warrant being exercisable for one common share of SSC at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the issuance date. The expiry date of the Warrants is subject to acceleration if the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares of SSC on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $0.18 for at least five consecutive trading days. All securities issued under the Financing and Debt Settlement will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

SSC expects to use the net proceeds of the Financing for final restructuring professional fees, Humble pre-CCAA excise taxes, CRA excise deposits, and general working capital. SSC expects to close the Financing, Debt Settlement and Debenture Amendment concurrently on or before September 30, 2026. SSC will provide any new information regarding timing as it becomes available.

Closing of the Financing, Debt Settlement and Debenture Amendment are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Further details of the Financing, Debt Settlement and Debenture Amendment are available in SSC's news release dated July 28, 2026.
