Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 31, 2026) - Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH) (" SSC ") announces that it has filed on SEDAR its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the related management's discussion and analysis, and the related CEO and CFO certificate (collectively, the " Q1 Financials ") which are available on SSC's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca . SSC also announces that it intends to file its financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the related management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates by August 31, 2026. As previously announced, SSC entered into a restructuring process (the " Restructuring ") on February 27, 2026. See the latest update in the following news release: CCAA Proceedings and Restructuring , dated July 28, 2026, which outlines the expected outcomes of the Restructuring, including total estimated debt reductions of up to $19.9 million, and total estimated total cost reductions of up to $7.1 million per year. Should SSC close the Restructuring prior to September 30, 2026, the initial impacts of the Restructuring will be in SSC's financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the period ending September 30, 2026 (Q3 2026). MCTO Update On August 21, 2026, the Alberta Securities Commission (the " ASC "), SSC's principal regulator, approved an extension of the previously announced management cease trade order (" MCTO ") under National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders (" NP 12-203 ") to August 28, 2026. The filing of the Q1 Financials was the last item creating a default under NP 12-203, and while SSC is unable to provide assurance as to when the MCTO will be revoked, it expects that the MCTO will be revoked in approximately two full business days. Pursuant to the MCTO, management of SSC may not trade in securities of SSC until such time as the MCTO is revoked. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of SSC to trade in securities of SSC . SSC confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing biweekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as the MCTO remains in place. SSC confirms that (a) there have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative reporting guidelines under NP 12-203; (b) there has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the default announcements; and (c) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of SSC that has not been generally disclosed. SSC will issue required bi-weekly updated regarding the MCTO until it is revoked. Update on Private Placement and Shares for Debt Settlement SSC also announces the extension of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 20,000,000 units of SSC (" Units ") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to

$1.0 million (the " Financing ") and settlement of up to $3.0 million convertible debentures of SSC (the " Debentures ") and up to $1.6 million of promissory notes of the Company in Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit (the " Debt Settlement "). In addition, the conversion price of any Debentures not settled in Units will be amended from $1.00 per share to $0.15 per share and the exercise price of the common share purchase warrants issued with the Debentures will be amended from $1.20 per share to $0.25 per share (collectively, the " Debenture Amendment "). As of the date hereof, SSC has received subscriptions for $0.5 million of Units in the Financing and elections to convert an aggregate principal amount of $2.2 million of Debentures. The deadline to elect to convert Debentures was July 31, 2026. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of SSC and one common share purchase warrant of SSC (a " Warrant "), with each Warrant being exercisable for one common share of SSC at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the issuance date. The expiry date of the Warrants is subject to acceleration if the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares of SSC on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $0.18 for at least five consecutive trading days. All securities issued under the Financing and Debt Settlement will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance. SSC expects to use the net proceeds of the Financing for final restructuring professional fees, Humble pre-CCAA excise taxes, CRA excise deposits, and general working capital. SSC expects to close the Financing, Debt Settlement and Debenture Amendment concurrently on or before September 30, 2026. SSC will provide any new information regarding timing as it becomes available. Closing of the Financing, Debt Settlement and Debenture Amendment are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
