WANGTON CAPITAL CORP. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SHARES

Vancouver, British Columbia May 22, 2026 Wangton Capital Corp. ("Wangton" or the "Company") (NEX: WT.H) is pleased to announce, further to the Company's news releases dated April 8, 2026, May 4, 2026, May 6, 2026 and May 20, 2026, that it has closed its previously announced private placement (the "Private Placement") of 7,520,000 common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Share for aggregate proceeds of $752,000.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for evaluating potential qualifying transactions and for general working capital. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four (4) month and one (1) day hold period from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company has not entered into any Agreement in Principle (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) in respect of any qualifying transaction.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has agreed to pay aggregate cash finder's fees of $33,075. The cash finder's fees were paid to 1173225 B.C. Ltd., Haywood Securities Inc. and Ventum Financial Corp.

The closing of the Private Placement occurred following the completion of the Company's previously announced consolidation of its Shares based on five (5) existing Shares for each one (1) new Share (the "Consolidation"). Accordingly, the Shares were issued on a post-consolidated basis and the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company are 12,403,017 common shares.

An insider of the Company participated in the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds $5,000. The issuance of Shares to the insiders is considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 and Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange, as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to such insiders nor the consideration that will be paid by such persons exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement have not been, nor will they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons in the absence of U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

On behalf of Wangton Capital Corp.
