Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain

Officers.

On September 4, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of

Northern Technologies International Corporation (“NTIC” or the “Company”), in furtherance of its management succession

planning, approved the following actions, in each case, effective immediately:

elected Gautam Ramdas, NTIC’s former Vice President of Zerust® Integrity Solutions, as NTIC’s President and Chief Executive

Officer replacing G. Patrick Lynch, who was elected Chairman of the Board and will remain an employee of NTIC for up to three years as

part of the transition;

expanded the Board from eight to nine directors and elected Mr. Ramdas as director to fill the vacancy created as a result of the Board

expansion;

appointed Richard Nigon, NTIC’s former Chairman of the Board, as NTIC’s lead independent director; and

elected Brian Haglund, NTIC’s former Vice President of Operations – North America, as NTIC’s Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Ramdas, age 53, has been with NTIC since 2005, most recently as Vice

President of Zerust® Integrity Solutions ("ZIS") from February 2025 to September 2026 and previously as Vice President and

Director – Global Market Development – Oil & Gas from October 2005 to January 2025. As a member of NTIC's management team,

he led the diversification of the Zerust portfolio beyond its automotive and industrial base into oil and gas, petrochemicals, EPC contractors,

OEMs and renewable energy. He holds multiple patents, has represented the Company, and the wider industry, with DOT/PHMSA, the American

Petroleum Institute (“API”) and the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (“AMPP”), and has been

a principal driver of NTIC's strategic planning. Outside of NTIC, Mr. Ramdas co-founded Magzter Inc., a global digital publishing platform

with 88M downloads, which was acquired by VerSe Innovation in April 2024. Prior to joining NTIC, Mr. Ramdas worked in the Strategic Change/Supply

Chain groups of IBM Business Consulting Services and PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consulting, where he led engagements with Fortune

500 clients in service strategy, global supplier management, E-Commerce, and supply chain streamlining. Mr. Ramdas received a Master of

Business Administration degree from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and holds a Bachelor of

Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the College of Engineering, Guindy (Chennai), India.

Brian Haglund, age 42, has been an employee of NTIC since 2018, and previously

served as Vice President of Operations – North America. Prior to joining NTIC, Mr. Haglund held various leadership roles within

Textron Inc., a Fortune 500 industrial conglomerate. During his tenure with Textron, Mr. Haglund led various global operations and manufacturing

facilities across the United States, in China, and in Germany focusing on aerospace and industrial manufacturing. Mr. Haglund received

a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Finance from The Miller College of Business through Ball State University.

He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Supply Chain Management from Eli Broad College of Business through Michigan State University.

In connection with the foregoing, the Board approved

the following compensation changes, effective immediately:

a new annual base salary for Mr. Ramdas equal to $520,000; continued participation in NTIC’s annual bonus

plan although at a higher undetermined percentage of the available pool; a promotional stock option to purchase 15,278 shares of NTIC

common stock at an exercise price equal to $7.99 per share, which option was in addition to an annual stock option to purchase 24,978

shares of NTIC common stock that he received on September 1, 2026, and was granted under the Northern Technologies International Corporation

2024 Stock Incentive Plan and will vest in three annual installments over three years so long as Mr. Ramdas remains an employee of NTIC

as of such date; an unrestricted stock grant of 43,805 shares of common stock granted under the Northern Technologies International Corporation

2024 Stock Incentive Plan; and severance equal to 18 months annual base salary to be payable upon an involuntary termination of Mr. Ramdas’s

employment with NTIC;

a new annual base salary for Mr. Lynch equal to $150,000; continued employee benefits; and severance equal to

$667,000 to be payable upon a termination of Mr. Lynch’s employment with NTIC for any reason; and

a new annual base salary for Mr. Haglund, the Company’s new Chief Operating Officer, of $302,500.

NTIC expects to enter into written employment and indemnification agreements with Mr. Ramdas,

Mr. Lynch, and Mr. Haglund documenting the compensation terms described above and containing other terms standard and customary for executive

agreements. The employment agreement with Mr. Lynch, once finalized and executed, will replace his existing employment agreement with

NTIC, which is described in NTIC’s most recent definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)

on December 1, 2025

No changes will be made to Mr. Nigon’s compensation as a director of NTIC and as lead

independent director, which compensation is described in NTIC’s most recent definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on December

1, 2025. As an employee director, neither Mr. Ramdas nor Mr. Lynch will receive any additional compensation for his service on the Board

and will not serve on any Board committees.

The change in Mr. Lynch's position was part of NTIC’s succession plan and not the result

of any disagreement with NTIC on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.

Except as described in this report, there are no other arrangements or understandings between

Mr. Ramdas, Mr. Lynch, or Mr. Haglund and any other person pursuant to which each such individual was selected as an officer of the Company

and the Company has not entered into any other material plan, contract or arrangement to which Mr. Ramdas, Mr. Lynch, or Mr. Haglund is

a party or in which he participates, or any material amendment, in connection with the election described above. There have been no transactions

since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or are currently proposed, regarding Mr. Ramdas, Mr. Lynch, or Mr. Haglund

that are required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K and neither Mr. Ramdas, Mr. Lynch, nor Mr. Haglund has any “family

relationships,” as that term is defined in Item 401(d) of SEC Regulation S-K, with any other executive officer or any director of

the Company.

that this new executive team, led by Gautam as President and Chief Executive Officer, has the experience and vision to take NTIC to its

next level of performance.”

“NTIC has built market-leading capabilities in corrosion prevention and sustainable materials, serving customers in more than

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include NTIC’s beliefs that the recent leadership changes will

take NTIC to its next level of performance and accelerate NTIC’s progress and deliver value for NTIC’s stockholders, and other

statements that can be identified by words such as “believes,” “continues,” “expects,” “anticipates,”

of similar meaning, and the use of future dates. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of

NTIC’s management and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from

those projected or implied. Such potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, in no particular order: risks associated

with leadership changes; the effect of the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, which has had immediate and substantial effects on global trade,

energy markets and financial markets; risks associated with international operations, including NTIC China, exposure to exchange rate

fluctuations, tariffs, trade disputes and changes to trade regulation; the health of the U.S. and worldwide economies, including in particular

the U.S. automotive industry, decreased exports of automotive products resulting from tariffs between the U.S. and both Mexico and Canada

and the evolution towards electric vehicles; the effect of economic uncertainty, recessionary indicators, inflation, increased interest

rates and turmoil in the global credit, financial and banking markets or perception thereof; effect of supply chain disruptions; the effect

of initiatives to improve gross margin and profitability, including expanding sales of ZERUST® oil and gas solutions and broadening

Natur-Tec® applications globally; the risk that the Beachwood facility sale will not be completed or will result in different than

anticipated proceeds to NTIC; NTIC’s dependence on its joint ventures, relationships with joint venture partners and their success,

including fees and dividend distributions; effect of economic slowdown and political unrest, including the war between Russia and Ukraine

and the conflicts in the Middle East; the level of growth in NTIC’s markets; NTIC’s investments in research and development

efforts; acceptance of existing and new products; timing of purchase orders under supply contracts; variability in sales to oil and gas

customers and effect on quarterly financial results; increased competition; costs and effects of complying with changes in tax, fiscal,

government and other regulatory policies, and rules relating to environmental, health and safety matters; and NTIC’s reliance on

its intellectual property rights and the absence of infringement of the intellectual property rights of others. More detailed information

on these and additional factors which could affect NTIC’s operating and financial results is described in NTIC’s filings with

the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 and subsequent

quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. NTIC urges all interested parties to read these reports to gain a better understanding of the many business

and other risks that it faces. Additionally, NTIC undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking
