SIMPLY SOLVENTLESS ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF HUMBLE GROW CO. RETROFIT EXPECTED TO INCREASE PRODUCTION TO 14,000KG OF CANNABIS PER YEAR & CLOSING OF ANC INC. PROM NOTE REPAYMENT AND AMENDMENT
CALGARY, AB, July 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH) (" SSC") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the retrofit of its Humble Grow Co. (" Humble") facility (the " Retrofit"). SSC is also pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced repayment and amendment of non-interest bearing promissory notes of up to $7.15 million due to the prior shareholders of ANC Inc. (" ANC"), comprised of a promissory note of $3.65 million (the " Promissory Note"), previously due May 31, 2025, and a earn-out note with up to $3.5 million outstanding, previously due October 31, 2025 (together with the Promissory Note, the " Notes"). Humble Retrofit Commencement The Retrofit is expected to increase cannabis production from approximately 8,000kg per year to approximately 14,000kg per year, and to increase annual revenue from approximately $9.6 million ($9.1 million net of intercompany revenue) to approximately $18.0 million ($16.0 million net of intercompany revenue) at current price levels. SSC expects that harvests from the Retrofit will commence in late 2025 or early 2026. Humble has performed well since being acquired due to our strong cultivation team, significant integration efforts, and substantial cost reductions. During Q2 2025, Humble generated revenue of approximately $2.4 million ($2.3 million net of intercompany revenue) and EBITDA of approximately $0.5 million ($0.5 million net of intercompany revenue and expenses). The Retrofit leverages this strong performance and the previously obtained proof of concept on expected production increases resulting from two years of trials. SSC does not expect an increase in Humble fixed operating costs because of the Retrofit. The Retrofit is expected to cost approximately $2.5 million. SSC is using a mix of equipment financing and cash flow from operations to fund the retrofit. SSC expects that it will receive rebates of between $0.5 million and $0.75 million from the Government of Manitoba, reducing the total expected capital cost for the Retrofit to between $1.75 million and $2.0 million. Jeff Swainson, President & CEO of SSC, stated: "We have been keen to proceed with the Retrofit since we acquired Humble, and we are now in the position to allocate cash flow from operations to the Retrofit. We look forward to reaping the rewards of this material increase in production in an environment with balancing supply and demand dynamics, and we thank Alexa Goertzen, Bobby Bains, and Thomas Facciolo for their great efforts in advancing this project." Closing of ANC Promissory Note Repayment & Amendment The Notes were originally issued on October 17, 2024 as partial consideration in connection with the acquisition by SSC of ANC. The Notes were repaid and amended as follows: Approximately $3.4 million of the Notes were repaid through the issuance of 6,875,000 common shares of SSC at $0.50 per common share (the " Equity Issuance"). The Equity Issuance was approved by the TSXV. $0.5 million of the Notes were discharged. $1.0 million of the Notes will be repaid in cash on or before June 3, 2026. $2.2 million of the Notes will be repaid in weekly cash payments averaging $21,370.19 over two years. Should SSC repay this balance by July 31, 2025, the remaining principal balance owing at that time will be reduced by $367,500. Should SSC repay this balance by December 31, 2025, the remaining principal balance owing at that time will be reduced by $245,000. The remaining Note is non-interest bearing. The Equity Issuance is subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. Jeff Swainson, SSC's President & CEO, stated: "We would like to thank ANC's prior shareholders for their belief in SSC as demonstrated by their desire to have approximately $3.4 million of their notes repaid in SSC shares at $0.50/share. This arrangement significantly improves SSC's balance sheet while reducing cash flow obligations, providing a strong foundation for future growth and the execution of our impactful business plan." Related Party Transaction James, Clarke, Thomas Facciolo and Tairance Rutter, insiders of SSC, received a portion of the Equity Issuance as parties to the amended Notes, which are considered "related party transactions" for the purposes of National Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101"). SSC was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.

As such, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is calculated as income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is considered a useful measure by management to understand profitability excluding the effects of capital structure, taxation and depreciation, but may not be appropriate for other purposes. EBITDA is not defined under IFRS and therefore should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). See the " Operations" section in SSC's management's discussion & analysis for the period Q1 2025, available on SEDAR+ at for a quantitative reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA for that period.

TORONTO, July 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Starlight U.S. Residential Fund (TSXV: SURF.A) (TSXV: SURF.U) (the " Fund") announced the successful completion of a one-year extension maturing June 1, 2026 of the loan secured by the Fund's Sunlake Apartments property, a 268-suite Class "A" institutional quality multi-family property built in 2021 and located at 2700 Summershine St., Land O' Lakes, Florida 34638 (" Sunlake") (the " Extension"). Per the terms of the Extension, the loan is subject to certain conditions during the remaining loan term and bears interest-only payments at a fixed rate of 8.56% per annum with any debt service shortfall, as defined therein, being accrued and deferred until maturity. The Fund also previously announced that certain extension conditions for the loans secured by the Emerson at Buda property, a 304-suite Class "A" institutional quality multi-family property built in 2021 and located at 950 FM2001, Buda, Texas 78610 (" Buda" or the " Property"), were not achieved as of the initial maturity date of April 9, 2025. The Fund was pursuing good faith negotiations with the lenders to obtain a modification and extension of the loans secured respectively by the Property and by a pledge of the ownership interests (the " Pledged Interests"), in the entity that owns the Property. However, the Fund has now received a formal notice of an event of default (the " Notice") from one of the lenders (the " Lender") of the loans payable secured by the Pledged Interests.

In the absence of a negotiated modification and extension of such loan, the Lender has the right to exercise the remedies available to it under the loan agreement, including a foreclosure of the of the Pledged Interests. If that remedy is exercised, the Lender would be able to foreclose on the Pledged Interests through a foreclosure sale process governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, resulting in the conveyance of the Pledged Interests to Lender, its designee or a third party purchaser at the foreclosure sale, with the proceeds of the sale applied to amounts owed to Lender under the loan. As at the date hereof, the Lender has not exercised any such remedies, however the Fund expects that the Lender may proceed with a foreclosure of the Pledged Interests as a result of having delivered the Notice.

The Fund does not expect a material impact on its net asset value (as set out in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025) as a result of any remedies the lender may exercise.
