NEWS RELEASE | February 19, 2026 | CASCAIS, PORTUGAL

PULSAR HELIUM ANNOUNCES EQUITY FUNDRAISING OF APPROXIMATELY US$10 MILLION

Pulsar Helium Inc. (AIM: PLSR, TSXV: PLSR, OTCQB: PSRHF) ("Pulsar" or the "Company"), a primary helium company, is pleased to announce that it intends to conduct an equity fundraising (the "Placing") to raise gross proceeds of approximately US$10.0 million (approximately £7.4 million / CAD$13.7 million) at a price of £0.80 (approximately CAD$1.47) per common share in the Company (the "Issue Price").

The Placing will be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild process managed by OAK Securities as exclusive bookrunner. The bookbuild will be launched immediately following this announcement in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to the Announcement.  The timing of the closing of the bookbuild and allocations are at the absolute discretion of OAK Securities and the Company.  It is currently envisaged that the result of bookbuild will be announced by the Company at approximately 07:00 (UK time) on February 20, 2026. The final number of new common shares in the Company to be placed at the Issue Price ("Placing Shares") will be determined at the close of the bookbuild.

·    The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing primarily to advance Pulsar's flagship Topaz helium project in Minnesota, USA

·    A total of six appraisal wells have been drilled at Topaz (the sixth still in progress), all of which intersected pressurized gas, representing a 100% success rate to date and supporting the geological model for the project

·    Exploration and appraisal work to date has identified concentrations of helium-3, a rare isotope of helium with strategic applications in national security, quantum computing and advanced energy technologies, providing additional potential upside. The presence of helium-3 has been independently confirmed by two U.S. Federal laboratories

Use of proceeds and timetable

Net proceeds received pursuant to the Placing will be used to advance Pulsar's flagship Topaz helium project in Minnesota, USA, to progress the Falcon Project in Michigan, and for general working capital purposes. At Topaz, the Company intends to undertake extended well testing and reservoir evaluation; conduct an additional seismic survey to enhance structural interpretation and reservoir modelling; consolidate and expand its mineral and leasehold interests; update the independent resource estimate; and complete a pre-feasibility study for integrated helium and CO₂ production. The Company also intends to place deposits on certain long-lead processing equipment for the contemplated helium recovery and CO₂ capture facility. In addition, a portion of the proceeds is expected to support geophysical, geochemical and related exploration activities at the Falcon Project. The Company intends to utilise the proceeds of the Placing as follows:  

Closing of the Placing (and associated admission to trading on AIM of the Placing Shares) is anticipated to occur on or about February 27, 2026 ("Closing"), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals.

Additional information

The Placing will be conducted pursuant to Pulsar's Canadian base shelf prospectus dated February 11, 2026 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus"), a copy of which is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.  A prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") relating to the Placing will be filed on SEDAR+ later today.  As the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus qualify the distribution of the Placing Shares sold pursuant to the Placing, the Placing Shares will not be subject to any resale restrictions in Canada.  Such documents are not prospectuses for the purposes of the FCA's Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook.

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 United States state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable United States state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Pulsar has appointed OAK Securities (a trading name of Merlin Partners LLP), to act as the Company's exclusive bookrunner and placement agent in connection with the Placing pursuant to a placing agreement. Subject to and conditional on Admission, OAK Securities will be paid an advisory fee of £20,000, payable in cash and a cash commission in an amount equal to six per cent (6.0%) of the gross proceeds raised pursuant to the Placing.  The Company will also issue OAK Securities warrants (the "Broker Warrants") to subscribe for 6.0% of the number of Placing Shares placed in the Placing, with such Broker Warrants being exercisable at a price per share equal to the Issue Price for 12 months from the date of the closing of the Placing. OAK Securities has the right to terminate the placing agreement where, at its sole discretion (but in consultation with the Company), due to a change in market, economic or financial conditions, the Placing is rendered temporarily or permanently impracticable or inadvisable.

The Placing Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Common Shares in issue and therefore will rank equally for all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after the issue of the new Placing Shares.

Completion of the Placing, is subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including receipt of conditional approval from the TSX-V.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

OAK Securities (a trading name of Merlin Partners LLP) ("OAK"), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") in the United Kingdom and is acting as bookrunner to the Company and no one else in connection with the Placing, and OAK will not be responsible to anyone (including any purchasers of the Placing Shares) other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Placing or any other matters referred to in this Announcement.

Strand Hanson Limited ("Strand Hanson"), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, is acting as nominated adviser to the Company in connection with the Placing. The responsibilities of Strand Hanson as the Company's Nominated Adviser under the AIM Rules for Companies and the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers are owed solely to the London Stock Exchange and are not owed to the Company or to any director or shareholder of the Company or any other person. Strand Hanson will not be responsible to any person other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to clients of Strand Hanson or for providing advice to any other person in connection with the Placing or any acquisition of shares in the Company.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities 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 or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release and the interview contains forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements") that relate to the Company's current expectations and views of future events. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result", "are expected to", "expects", "will continue", "is anticipated", "anticipates", "believes", "estimated", "intends", "plans", "forecast", "projection", "strategy", "objective" and "outlook") are not historical facts and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements herein include, but are not limited to, statements relating relating to the expected date of Closing of the Placing and the expected use of net proceeds of the Placing. Forward-looking statements may involve estimates and are based upon assumptions made by management of the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company's capital cost estimates, management's expectations regarding the availability of capital to fund the Company's future capital and operating requirements and the ability to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals. 

No reserves have been assigned in connection with the Company's property interests to date, given their early stage of development. The future value of the Company is therefore dependent on the success or otherwise of its activities, which are principally directed toward the future exploration, appraisal and development of its assets, and potential acquisition of property interests in the future. No un-risked Contingent and Prospective Helium Volumes have been defined at the Tunu Project. However, estimating helium volumes is subject to significant uncertainties associated with technical data and the interpretation of that data, future commodity prices, and development and operating costs. There can be no guarantee that the Company will successfully convert its helium volume to reserves and produce that estimated volume. Estimates may alter significantly or become more uncertain when new information becomes available due to for example, additional drilling or production tests over the life of field. As estimates change, development and production plans may also vary. Downward revision of helium volume estimates may adversely affect the Company's operational or financial performance.

Helium volume estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment or, even if valid when originally calculated, may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. As further information becomes available through additional drilling and analysis the estimates are likely to change. Any adjustments to volume could affect the Company's exploration and development plans which may, in turn, affect the Company's performance. The process of estimating helium resources is complex and requires significant decisions and assumptions to be made in evaluating the reliability of available geological, geophysical, engineering, and economic date for each property. Different engineers may make different estimates of resources, cash flows, or other variables based on the same available data.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward- looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, that Pulsar may be unsuccessful in drilling commercially productive wells; the uncertainty of resource estimation; operational risks in conducting exploration, including that drill costs may be higher than estimates ; commodity prices; health, safety and environmental factors; and other factors set forth above as well as risk factors included in the Company's Annual Information Form dated February 3, 2026 for the year ended September 30, 2025 found under Company's profile on Sedarplus.ca. 

Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are as of the date of this news release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them or assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. No assurance can be given that the forward-looking statements herein will prove to be correct and, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any 'manufacturer' (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of 'retail investors' and investors who meet the criteria of 'professional clients' and 'eligible counterparties', each as defined in the FCA Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "UK Target Market Assessment").

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements") and/or any equivalent requirements elsewhere to the extent determined to be applicable, and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any 'manufacturer' (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of 'retail investors' and investors who meet the criteria of 'professional clients' and 'eligible counterparties', each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment" and, together with the UK Target Market Assessment, the "Target Market Assessments").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessments, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.  The Target Market Assessments are without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessments, OAK Securities will only procure investors who meet the criteria of 'professional clients' or 'eligible counterparties'.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessments do not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A, respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (for the purposes of the UK Target Market Assessment) or MiFID II (for the purposes of the EU Target Market Assessment); or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Timetable for the Placing

Various dates referred to in this Announcement are stated on the basis of the expected timetable for the Placing. It is possible that some of these dates may be changed.  The Placing Shares will be admitted to trading on February 27, 2026 subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals.

Terms of the Placing

OAK Securities has, prior to the notification of this Announcement to the RNS, entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which OAK Securities has undertaken, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, to use its reasonable endeavours as agent of the Company, to procure Placees for the Placing Shares. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics for participation in, the Placing.

Each Placee's commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares under the Placing and to participate in the Bookbuild (as defined below) will be agreed (by email, orally or otherwise) with OAK Securities and such agreement will constitute a binding irrevocable commitment by a Placee, subject to the Terms and Conditions set out in this Appendix, to subscribe for and pay for Placing Shares at the Issue Price. Such commitment is not capable of variation, termination or rescission by the Placee in any circumstances except fraud. Upon such agreement, each Placee has an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation owed to OAK Securities, as agent for the Company, to pay OAK Securities (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Issue Price and the total number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to subscribe for in the Placing. All such obligations are entered into by the Placee with OAK Securities, acting in its capacity as agent of the Company, and are therefore directly enforceable by the Company.

Each Placee's allocation of Placing Shares will be agreed between OAK Securities and the Company and will be confirmed by email or orally to each Placee by OAK Securities (as agent for the Company) as soon as possible following the closing of the Bookbuild and confirmed in writing, including the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to OAK Securities and settlement instructions ("Contract Confirmation"). The confirmation to such Placee by OAK Securities (as agent for the Company) constitutes an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon that person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of OAK Securities and the Company to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's articles of association. All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under 'Conditions of the Placing' and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under 'Right to terminate the Placing Agreement'. By participating in Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

OAK Securities and its affiliates are entitled to enter bids as principal in the Placing.

Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under 'Registration and Settlement'.

The Company confirms that the Placing Shares will when issued, subject to the constitution of the Company, rank pari passu in all respects and form one class with the existing Common Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of this announcement, including the right to receive dividends or other distributions after the date of issue of the Placing Shares, if any. The Placing Shares are or will be issued free of any encumbrance, lien or other security interest.

Applications for Admission

The Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM to become effective on or around February 27, 2026.

Bookbuild

The Placing will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuild" or the "Bookbuilding Process"), which will be launched immediately following this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild and allocations are at the absolute discretion of OAK Securities and the Company. It is currently envisaged that the result of the Bookbuilding Process will be announced via RNS on February 20, 2026 at or around 07:00 (UK time).

Scaling back

OAK Securities (after consulting with the Company) reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee or the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed for by all Placees in aggregate. OAK Securities also reserves the right not to offer allocations of Placing Shares to any person and not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole.  OAK Securities shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as it shall in its sole discretion lawfully determine in the exercise of its appointment and the powers, authority and discretion conferred on it as the sole broker.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither OAK Securities nor any holding company of OAK Securities, nor any subsidiary, branch or affiliate of any of OAK Securities (each an "Affiliate") nor any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither OAK Securities, nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on behalf of any such person shall have any liability to Placees in respect of its conduct of the Placing.

Placing Agreement

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, OAK Securities has agreed on behalf of and as agent of the Company to use its reasonable endeavours to procure persons to subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price, subject to these Terms and Conditions. The Placing will not be underwritten.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of OAK Securities under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are conditional, inter alia, on:

i.      the Company allotting the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement;

ii.     the receipt of all necessary approvals including receipt of conditional approval from the TSX-V; and

iii.    admission to trading on AIM, the market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc, of the Placing Shares becoming effective on February 27, 2026 or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the Broker, being no later than March 16, 2026.

If any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement ("Conditions") are not fulfilled by March 16, 2026 the Placing Agreement shall cease and determine.

Right to terminate the Placing Agreement

OAK Securities may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Placing Agreement, where, at its sole discretion (but in consultation with the Company), due to a change in market, economic or financial conditions, the Placing is rendered temporarily or permanently impracticable or inadvisable.

The exercise by OAK Securities of a right of termination (or any right of waiver) exercisable by OAK Securities contained in the Placing Agreement or the exercise of any discretion under the Terms and Conditions set out herein is within the absolute discretion of OAK Securities and OAK Securities will not have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any decision to exercise or not exercise any such rights.

By accepting the Placing Shares referred to in the Announcement to which this Appendix is annexed, each Placee agrees that, without having any liability to such Placee, OAK Securities may exercise the right: (i) to extend the time for fulfilment of any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement (provided that Placees' commitments are not extended beyond the Long Stop Date); (ii) to, in their absolute discretion, waive, in whole or in part, fulfilment of certain of the conditions (but not including Admission); or (iii) to terminate the Placing Agreement, in each case without consulting Placees (or any of them).

If any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement are not satisfied (or, where relevant, waived), the Placing Agreement is terminated or the Placing Agreement does not otherwise become unconditional in all respects, the Placing will not proceed and all funds delivered by Placees to OAK Securities pursuant to the Placing and this Appendix will be returned to Placees at their risk (without interest), and Placees' rights and obligations under the Placing shall cease and determine at such time and no claim shall be made by Placees in respect thereof.

Registration and Settlement

Irrespective of the time at which the Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made on the basis explained below.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: CA7459321039) following Admission will take place on a delivery versus payment basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation within the CREST system ("CREST") (subject to certain exceptions). OAK Securities reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it may deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in the Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the jurisdiction of any Placee. In order to enable Placees to settle their securities through CREST, the Company has appointed Computershare Investor Services Plc to act as a depositary (the "Depositary") to hold the Placing Shares and issue dematerialised depositary interests representing the underlying Placing Shares ("Depositary Interests"). The Depositary will hold the Placing Shares on trust for the relevant shareholders and this trust relationship is documented in a deed poll previously executed by the Depositary (the "Deed Poll"). The Deed Poll set(s) out the procedure for holders of Depositary Interests to vote at general meetings and to exercise other procedural shareholder rights, which will be transferred to the Depositary with the Placing Shares. The Depositary Interests will be independent English securities and will be held on a register maintained by the Depositary. The Depositary Interests will have the same security code and ISIN number as the underlying Placing Shares which they represent and will not require a separate admission to AIM.

Following despatch of Contract Confirmations, Placees will be required to confirm by email to OAK Securities (as agent for the Company) the CREST account details in their names or in the names of their CREST nominees to which their Placing Shares should be credited.

It is expected that settlement for Placing Shares will take place at 8.00 a.m. on February 27, 2026 unless otherwise notified by OAK Securities.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of 2 percentage points above the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc as determined by OAK Securities, with interest compounded on a daily basis.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, OAK Securities may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for its account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise in any jurisdiction upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on OAK Securities all such authorities and powers necessary or desirable to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which OAK Securities lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the Contract Confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

The Company confirms that, insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax.

Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.
