HOMERUN RESOURCES INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF INITIAL TRANCHE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITY FINANCING WITH THE LIND PARTNERS UNDER ENGAGEMENTS WITH BENCHMARK/STONEX

Homerun Resources Inc., further to its July 8, 2026, and Aug. 14, 2026, news releases, has closed the initial $2-million tranche financing pursuant to a convertible security financing agreement (CSFA) with Lind Global Fund III LP, managed by The Lind Partners. The initial tranche represents the initial financing of an aggregate of up to an additional $13-million in follow-on investments, subject to mutual agreement and receipt of applicable approvals. All dollar figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The initial tranche financing will provide near-term working capital as Homerun advances its broader vertical financing strategy, including larger-scale capital solutions in support of its growth objectives. Under the CSFA, the convertible security issued in respect of the initial tranche has a 24-month term and a face value of $2.2-million, comprising of $2-million principal and $200,000 of prepaid interest with an initial tranche closing fee of $80,000 payable to Lind. As part of closing of the initial tranche, Lind was issued warrants to purchase 1.85 million common shares of the company at a price of 66 cents per share.

Following the expiry of the applicable four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period, the company will have a one-time buyback right to repurchase the outstanding principal and prepaid interest of the convertible security issued pursuant to the initial tranche at a 3-per-cent premium, subject to Lind's right to: (a) convert up to one-quarter of the outstanding principal in connection with the exercise of that buyback right, as per the applicable conversion formulas; and (b) settle part or all of the prepaid interest by receiving common shares of the company pursuant to a shares for debt application, such common shares to be issued at a price within the context of the market at that time, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The initial tranche convertible security is senior secured by a general security agreement over the assets of Homerun and a pledge of shares in respect of Homerun's active subsidiaries. The CSFA also provides for a six-month repayment holiday, followed by monthly cash repayments of $111,111 from months seven through 24 of the term.

The CSFA provides Lind with a right to convert any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the initial tranche into common shares of the company at a fixed conversion price of 66 cents, equal to 110 per cent of the market closing price of the company's shares on the day prior to announcement of the CSFA.

The 110-per-cent premium conversion price supports the company's existing share price and limits the dilutive impact of any conversions, as any conversion by Lind would occur at a price above the prevailing market at announcement. Any conversions by Lind will be credited against the latest scheduled monthly repayment instalment.

The initial tranche of $2-million accrues interest at $16,667 per month over the 12-month period following closing. Following the expiry of the applicable statutory hold period and every 90 days thereafter, Lind will have the option to be issued common shares of the company in payment for the accrued prepaid interest by way of shares for debt at an issuance price within the context of the market at that time subject to TSX-V approval. Commencing on the first anniversary of closing, additional interest will accrue on any outstanding principal amount at a rate of 10 per cent per annum, with Lind having the option to be issued common shares of the company in payment for such accrued interest by way of shares for debt at an issuance price within the context of the market at that time subject to TSX-V approval.

This convertible security has been provided under an engagement with The Benchmark Company LLC, a subsidiary of StoneX Group, pursuant to which Benchmark acted as the exclusive placement agent. In consideration for its services, the company has agreed to pay Benchmark a cash fee of $140,000 and issue Benchmark 233,333 common shares of the company, equal to 7.0 per cent, of the gross proceeds drawn down under the CSFA with the share entitlement price to be 60 cents, being the market closing price for the company's shares on the day prior to the announcement of the CSFA for the initial tranche and the prevailing market price for any subsequent tranche.

The Benchmark engagement also includes a customary 12-month tail with respect to future financings completed with investors introduced by Benchmark during the engagement term, provided the applicable conditions in the engagement letter are satisfied. In addition, for a period of 12 months following execution of the engagement, the company has granted Benchmark a right of first refusal/right of participation to act as lead or joint lead investment banker, bookrunner and/or placement agent in connection with a potential initial public offering or similar listing transaction, subject to the terms of the Benchmark engagement.

In connection with this financing and the company's broader capital markets strategy, Homerun has signed a non-exclusive financial advisory relationship with StoneX. StoneX is assisting the company in evaluating and pursuing strategic financing alternatives supporting Homerun's long-term objective of pursuing an eventual uplisting to a senior U.S. exchange. There can be no assurance that such uplisting will occur.

The company sees the Lind financing, together with the relationships with Benchmark and StoneX, as a complementary to its strategic financing plan while seeking to limit near-term dilution for shareholders through a fixed-premium conversion structure, a reduced initial financing size, a six-month repayment holiday and the 50-per-cent warrant coverage.

Brian Leeners, chief executive officer of Homerun, stated: "This financing and the investment banking partnerships with both Benchmark and StoneX provide Homerun with near-term working capital while preserving flexibility as we advance discussions around larger-scale strategic and institutional funding initiatives. We view this as a bridge to broader financing opportunities that supports our long-term growth objectives and uplisting plans, while seeking to manage dilution for our existing shareholder base."

All securities issued in connection with the financing will be subject to applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX-V, including the applicable four month and one day hold period.
