NAHF Housing Share Dividend Terms and Distribution Timeline

Eligible common shareholders of North America Home Finance will receive one Housing Share (CSE: NAHF.PR.A) for every 1,000 NAHF common shares held as of the November 12, 2026 record date. Housing Shares will be delivered via DRS Advice statements on or before November 30, 2026. The announcement states the dividend is intended both to recognise shareholders' participation in the company's growth and to broaden public ownership of Housing Shares. The issuance of Housing Shares will not increase the number of NAHF common shares outstanding, which the company states is designed to protect existing common shareholders from dilution.

Housing Shares as a Non-Dilutive Acquisition Currency for Residential Real Estate

Housing Shares are Series 1 Non-Voting Preferred Shares backed by an equal number of HY Units of NAHF Real Estate Trust, designed to reflect the long-term equity value of a residential housing portfolio. The company states that Housing Shares may be issued as consideration to residential developers, rental property owners, and other housing counterparties in exchange for income-producing assets. CEO George Lawton stated the objective is to make Housing Shares "increasingly useful as a currency for acquiring housing," offering sellers a publicly traded security with exposure to a diversified residential portfolio as an alternative to an all-cash transaction.

NAHF's "Flywheel" Strategy Linking Portfolio Growth to Housing Share Liquidity

NAHF's longer-term strategy describes a self-reinforcing cycle in which Housing Shares are used to acquire additional residential properties, generating rental income and portfolio diversification that may, in turn, make Housing Shares more attractive to future sellers. A Normal Course Issuer Bid for Housing Shares is also part of this framework, intended to support market liquidity alongside investor relations and market-making activity. The company states that as portfolio diversification and Housing Share market liquidity grow, the ability to use Housing Shares as acquisition consideration may become an increasingly important competitive advantage.
