Summary of Corporate Developments:
As Hampton Financial Corporation enters fiscal 2026, the Company does so with renewed momentum and confidence. The first quarter of fiscal year 2026 reflected solid performance across Hampton's core operating businesses, providing a constructive foundation for the year ahead. Both the Company's wealth management platform and its wholly owned alternative lending subsidiary, Oxygen Working Capital Corp. ("Oxygen"), delivered strong results during the quarter, while activity within Hampton's capital markets division continued to improve. The benefits of initiatives undertaken in prior periods to strengthen existing business lines, streamline operations, and develop additional revenue verticals are beginning to be realized.
Hampton continues to evaluate strategic opportunities to grow its existing businesses and selectively pursue new initiatives that complement its platform. The Company remains focused on enhancing its service offerings, improving operational efficiency, and driving long-term shareholder value.
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, and as previously announced in a press release dated January 29, 2026, Hampton completed the issuance of shares to settle certain debt obligations under its debentures. The Company issued 10,528,141 subordinate voting shares to debenture holders in settlement of all obligations under Hampton's debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million, as well as a quarterly interest payment under the debentures in the aggregate amount of approximately $5.2 million. Management expects this transaction to significantly strengthen the Company's balance sheet, reduce ongoing operating costs, and positively impact financial results in fiscal 2026.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hampton Securities Limited ("HSL"), the Company continues to develop its wealth management, advisory, and principal-agent programs. HSL offers experienced wealth managers a flexible operating platform designed to provide enhanced independence, financial support, and tax efficiency as they grow and manage their professional practices. Hampton's capital markets team continues to work with a broad range of issuers, providing advisory and capital-raising services that support client growth objectives while contributing to Hampton's own revenue diversification.
Hampton's wholly owned commercial lending subsidiary, Oxygen, continues to provide factoring and term financing solutions to businesses across Canada, supporting clients' working capital needs across a range of industries.
