PRINCIPAL TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
VANCOUVER, BC, July 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Principal Technologies Inc. (the " Company" or " Principal") (TSXV: PTEC) (FWB: JO7) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated April 28, 2025, regarding the financing of its Licence of Technology Agreement (the " Licence") with Oxford University Innovation Limited, the Company announces it has arranged to complete the second round of financing (" Second Round") ahead of schedule. The Second Round was originally contemplated to occur in October 2025 and to consist of the issuance of 1,248,000 common shares of the Company (" Common Shares") at a price of $0.50 per Common Share to raise proceeds of $624,000 (the " Proceeds"). The Company is now targeting to complete the Second Round by issuing an aggregate of 2,080,000 Common Shares within the next week at a price of $0.30 per Common Share (the " Issuance Price") to raise the Proceeds. The Issuance Price represents a 13% premium to market. The Second Round is fully allocated to a significant shareholder of the Company and no finder's fees are applicable. The proceeds of the Second Round are intended to be used to fulfill the research and development funding obligations of the Licence and for other general corporate purposes. The Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Second Round will be subject to the statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities legislation. Completion of the Second Round is subject to the receipt of all requisite approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions therefrom. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States. Related Party Participation in the Offering A significant shareholder of the Company will be participating in the Offering by purchasing the Common Shares. The participation by Roman Leydolf an insider of Principal, constitutes 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 valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities purchased by the insider, nor the consideration for the securities paid by such insider, exceeds 25% of Principal's market capitalization. The Company expects that the closing of the Second Round will occur within 21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable in order to complete the Second Round in an expeditious manner. The Second Round has been unanimously approved by the Company's board of directors. About Principal Technologies Principal Technologies Inc. is an international healthcare technologies investor. The Company is engaged in developing a portfolio of profitable healthcare technology assets focused on those with global distribution potential and intellectual property capable of enhancing medical treatment quality, cost efficiency, optimization of the patient pathway, and implementation of point of care technologies. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD Jerry Trent, Chief Executive Officer Principal Technologies Inc.

Birch Hill, Brookfield buying First National Financial in $2.9-billion deal
TORONTO – First National Financial Corp. says it has agreed to be sold in a roughly $2.9 billion deal. The mortgage firm says funds managed by Birch Hill Equity Partners Management Inc. and Brookfield Asset Management are the buyers though a newly-formed acquisition vehicle. First National Financial says founders Stephen Smith and Moray Tawse will each indirectly maintain about a 19 per cent interest in the company. It says the purchase price of $48 a share represents a 15.2 per cent premium to the average of the past 30 trading days and is above the 52-week high for the company, though it is below its peak of over $52 a share in 2021. First National Financial says the deal came after a strategic review and that it offers compelling value and liquidity to shareholders. Founders Smith and Tawse respectively hold about 37.4 per cent and 34 per cent of outstanding shares, of which they will sell about two-thirds to the buyers and exchange the rest into ownership interests.
