The Company expects the Initial Tranche funding to provide near-term working capital as Homerun advances its broader vertical financing strategy, including larger-scale capital solutions in support of its growth objectives and a potential future uplisting to a senior exchange. Under the CSFA, the convertible security issued in respect of the Initial Tranche has a 24-month term and a face value of C$2,200,000, comprised of C$2,000,000 principal and C$200,000 of pre-paid interest.

The CSFA also provides for 1,600,000 warrants to be issued to Lind in connection with the Initial Tranche, representing 50% warrant coverage on the Initial Tranche. The warrants will be exercisable for 36 months with an exercise price of C$0.7980, equal to 133% of the market closing price on the day prior to announcement of this transaction. Following the expiry of the applicable four-month and one-day statutory hold period, the Company will have a one-time buy-back right to repurchase the outstanding principal and pre-paid interest at a 3% premium, subject to Lind's right to: a) convert up to one-quarter of the outstanding principal in connection with the exercise of that buy-back right, as per the applicable conversion formulas; and b) settle part or all of the pre-paid 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 TSXV approval.

The Initial Tranche convertible security will be senior secured and will include a general security agreement over the assets of Homerun and a pledge of shares in respect of Homerun's subsidiaries. The CSFA also provides for a six-month repayment holiday, followed by monthly cash repayments of C$111,111 from months 7 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 C$0.66 (the "Principal Conversion Price"), equal to 110% of the market closing price of the Company's shares on the day prior to announcement of the CSFA.

The 110% 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 C$2,000,000 accrues interest at C$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 pre-paid Interest by way of shares for debt at an issuance price within the context of the market at that time subject to TSXV approval. Commencing on the first anniversary of closing, additional interest will accrue on any outstanding Principal Amount at a rate of 10% 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 TSXV approval. The CSFA further provides Lind with a right, during the term of the financing and subject to TSXV approval, to invest up to an additional C$1,000,000 in addition to the Initial Tranche on pro-rata terms with conversion pricing to be within the context of the market at that time, provided the Company's market capitalization exceeds C$32,000,000.

This convertible security has been provided under an engagement with The Benchmark Company, LLC ("Benchmark"), 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 7.0% and issue Benchmark common shares of the Company equal to 7.0%, of the gross proceeds drawn down under the CSFA with the share entitlement price to be $0.60 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, book-runner 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 also announces that it 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 complimentary to its strategic financing plan while seeking to limit near-term dilution for shareholders through a fixed-premium conversion structure, a reduced initial funding size, a six-month repayment holiday and the 50% 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 ." Closing of the Initial Tranche is subject to customary closing conditions under the CSFA, including the approval of the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the financing will be subject to applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSXV, including the applicable four month and one day hold period.
