• Ranzini is the President & CEO of University Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: UNIB) ("UNIB") and its wholly owned subsidiary, University Bank in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a position he has held since 1988 following the acquisition of the bank by UNIB. Under his leadership, the institution has expanded from a single-office community bank into a diversified financial services organization offering a range of banking, lending, insurance and asset management services.
• Ranzini has over four decades of experience in financial services and corporate governance. Throughout his career, he has served on numerous corporate, industry and non-profit boards, including leadership roles as chair or vice-chair of several organizations. His experience also includes venture investment, international trade finance, asset backed lending, foreign exchange and economic development. UNIB currently has a total of over $36 billion in Assets Under Management for over 185,000 customers across the U.S.
• Ranzini will serve as Deputy Chair of the Board and will also participate on certain Board committees, to be determined.

Neil Herbert, Chair of Pulsar, commented:

"We are delighted to welcome Stephen Lange Ranzini to Pulsar Helium as Non-Executive Deputy Chairman. Stephen brings deep U.S. financial market expertise, extensive institutional relationships, and a highly accomplished leadership record. As CEO of University Bank, he has overseen its development into one of the top-performing banks in the United States, demonstrating a consistent ability to build resilient institutions and create long-term shareholder value.

Stephen's appointment represents an important strengthening of Pulsar's senior leadership in the United States as we continue to build out a top-tier American leadership bench to support the development of our projects and capital markets profile. His experience at the highest levels of the U.S. financial system, including his appointment by the Federal Reserve to its Secure Payments Steering Committee and long-standing role within the Federal Reserve's Remittance Coalition, reflects the caliber of insight and network he brings to the Company.

Stephen's strategic perspective and experience across banking, capital markets and financial infrastructure will provide valuable guidance as Pulsar continues advancing its assets and positioning the Company to deliver long-term value for shareholders."

Stephen Lange Ranzini, Deputy Chair of Pulsar, commented:

"I am pleased to join the Board of Pulsar, which has discovered a significant occurrence of Helium-4 and Helium-3 in Minnesota's Iron Range (see Company's press release dated October 1, 2025). Qatar accounts for approximately a third of global helium production, with exports reliant on shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Ongoing hostilities in the region have highlighted the vulnerability of global helium supply chains. In this context, I believe that assisting Pulsar to complete the exploration program at its Topaz Project to quantify the size of the discovery and preparations for potential development of the Topaz Project into production as quickly as possible is now a national economic and national security imperative. Because of this, I have decided to add my effort to advise Pulsar's very qualified team of experts to try to accelerate their work."

Thomas Abraham-James, President & CEO of Pulsar, commented:

"We are very pleased to welcome Stephen to the Pulsar Board as Deputy Chair. UNIB has already demonstrated strong support for Pulsar, holding approximately 4.99% of the Company's issued share capital, providing a US$4 million line of credit to support development activities at our Topaz project, and expressing its intention to potentially finance up to US$12.5 million for a helium processing facility. Stephen's appointment further strengthens Pulsar's positioning in the United States, where our flagship Topaz helium project is located, and we look forward to benefiting from his extensive financial services and governance experience as we advance the project."
