NORTHSTAR ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR AUDITOR

Northstar Gaming Holdings Inc. has appointed Davidson & Company LLP, as the company's new auditor to hold office until the company's next annual meeting of shareholders.

The company's board of directors and audit committee have approved the appointment of the successor auditor, and Northstar will seek ratification of the successor auditor's appointment at the next annual meeting of shareholders.

As announced on June 12, 2026, the company's former auditor, KPMG LLP, resigned effective May 29, 2026. The former auditor's reports with respect to Northstar's financial statements for the period commencing at the beginning of the company's two most recently completed financial years and ending on the date of the former auditor's resignation did not contain a modified opinion. However, there is a reportable event with respect to an unresolved issue (as such terms are defined in National Instrument 51-102 -- Continuous Disclosure Obligations) related to the former auditor's requests for additional information and audit evidence regarding certain systems and controls relevant to the company's audits. The former auditor advised the company that, without additional information, it was unable to complete certain audit procedures and took the position that it could not continue to rely on previously issued auditor's reports.

In accordance with NI 51-102, Northstar delivered a copy of a change of auditor notice in respect of the appointment of the successor auditor to both the successor auditor and the former auditor. In response, the successor auditor has provided its written confirmation that it agrees with the statements set forth in the notice and the former auditor has provided its written confirmation that its letter dated June 3, 2026, does not need to be updated in respect of the notice, each of which have been filed on SEDAR+.

Northstar has authorized the former auditor to respond fully to inquiries by the successor auditor concerning the matter.
