Highfield Investment Group Inc. to Acquire Century Casinos’ Racing Entertainment Centre Operations in Edmonton and Calgary. CALGARY, Alberta — Sep. 28, 2026 — Highfield Investment Group Inc. has entered into an agreement to acquire Century Casinos’ Racing Entertainment Centre operations in Edmonton and Calgary, expanding the company’s footprint in gaming, hospitality and racing entertainment.

The transaction does not include Century Casinos’ other Alberta casino properties. Highfield is a diversified Alberta-based investment and development company with nearly 50 years of experience creating long-term value across multiple industries, including real estate, hotel and hospitality, agriculture, property management and energy services.

The company also brings more than 20 years of direct experience in thoroughbred breeding, ownership and racing operations in Western Canada. The acquisition adds established racing entertainment assets in a sector that continues to carry meaningful provincial economic impact.

A 2019 study found Alberta’s horse racing industry contributed $311.7 million in total economic impact, including $157.1 million in direct expenditures, while supporting 1,506 full-time equivalent jobs across the province.

“We see strong long-term potential in these operations and believe they are an excellent strategic fit with our experience in hospitality, operations and horse racing,” said Adrian Munro, President of Highfield Investment Group.

“We are making a significant investment in Alberta because we believe in the continued growth of this business and in the long-term value it can create.” Munro added that Highfield’s principals are appreciative of Century Casinos’ role in Alberta’s racing sector.

“We are thankful to Century Casinos for its significant investment in Alberta’s horse racing business and for the platform it has established.” Munro leads Highfield’s strategic direction and diversified operations and serves as President of the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society.

He is joined by Paul Ryneveld, Vice President of Racing Entertainment Centres, a veteran racing and gaming executive with 38 years of experience in North American horseracing, track operations, racetrack redevelopment and regulatory environments.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals
