Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2026) - Hampton Securities Limited ("Hampton" or the "Agent") announces the closing of the initial public offering (the "Offering") for North America Home Finance Inc. (CSE: NAHF) ("NAHF" or the "Company"). North America Home Finance Inc. is a Canadian residential real estate investment and asset development company focused on shared-equity housing. The Company was pleased to announce the successful completion of its previously announced initial public offering, led by Hampton as exclusive agent, pursuant to a prospectus dated February 12, 2026 (the "Final Prospectus") and the listing of its common shares (the "Common Shares") on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the ticker symbol "NAHF", which commenced trading at market open on February 26, 2026.
"This marks a significant milestone - not only for NAHF, but for the evolution of housing finance," said George Lawton, Chief Executive Officer of NAHF. "We believe we are introducing a new category of public company in Canada, that we refer to as a 'Shared Equity Housing Corporation' that supports housing market stability, resident equity participation, and long-term asset performance. Commencement of trading under the ticker symbol "NAHF" on the CSE represents the beginning of our next growth chapter."
The Company completed the Offering of 3,400,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.50 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,700,000. Each Unit consisted of one Common Share (each, a "Unit Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant (each, a "Warrant") exercisable at $0.85 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following closing of the Offering. The Warrants will be listed for trading on the CSE under the ticker symbol "NAHF.WT" starting as of open of trading on February 26, 2026.
In connection with the filing of the Final Prospectus, the Company has also issued 3,595,204 Common Shares and 1,700,000 Common Share purchase warrants to acquire 1,700,000 Common Shares exercisable at $0.85 per Common Share in satisfaction of certain debt obligations outstanding as at the date of the Final Prospectus, with an aggregate principal amount of $1,700,000.
Pursuant to an agency agreement between the Agent and the Company dated February 12, 2026, the Company has granted to the Agent an option, exercisable, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Agent, for a period of 30 days from the closing of the Offering, to offer for sale additional Units of up to 15% of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering and/or any combination of additional Unit Shares and/or additional Warrants up to such amount.
In consideration for the services rendered by the Agent in connection with the Offering, the Company: (i) paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering; (ii) paid the Agent a corporate finance fee of $165,000; and (iii) issued 238,000 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants"), with each Broker Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.50 per Common Share at any time until 24 months following the closing of the Offering.
Use of Proceeds
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay certain liabilities, fund general corporate purposes (including general and administrative expenses), support working capital, and cover costs associated with listing and becoming a reporting issuer. A more detailed description of the use of proceeds is set out in the Final Prospectus. A copy of the Final Prospectus is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website (https://nahomefinance.com ).

NAHF's model combines residential real estate development, income-producing housing assets, and proprietary shared-equity programs, including its HomePlan offering. Through this structure, the Company seeks to create long-term housing value while expanding access to pathways toward home equity for resident families.
Exchange offering to existing securityholders
NAHF is conducting an exchange offering pursuant to which holders of certain previously issued bonds and rights may exchange such securities for series 1 non-voting preferred shares in the capital of the Company (the "Housing Shares") at a fixed exchange value of $10.35 per Housing Share (the "Exchange Offering"). The Exchange Offering is intended to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and align prior investors with long-term housing value creation.
