PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

April 27, 2023

(To a Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus dated April 27, 2023)

Up to $75,000,000 of Preferred Shares and $75,000,000 of Class A Shares

This prospectus supplement (this "Prospectus Supplement"), together with the short form base shelf prospectus dated April 27, 2023, qualifies the distribution of preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares") and class A shares (the "Class A Shares") of Brompton Split Banc Corp. (the "Company") having an aggregate market value of up to $75,000,000 and $75,000,000, respectively (the "Offering"). The Company is a mutual fund corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario.

The Company invests, on an approximately equally weighted basis, in a portfolio (the "Portfolio") consisting of common shares of the six largest Canadian banks (currently, Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, National Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and The Toronto Dominion Bank). In addition, the Company may hold up to 10% of the total assets of the Portfolio in investments in global financial companies for the purposes of enhanced diversification and return potential, at the discretion of Brompton Funds Limited (the "Manager"), the manager of the Company.

The Preferred Shares and the Class A Shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbols "SBC.PR.A" and "SBC", respectively. On April 26, 2023, the closing price on the TSX of the Preferred Shares was $9.86 and of the Class A Shares was $10.74. The most recently calculated NAV per Unit (as defined herein) prior to the pricing of the Offering on April 20, 2023 was $19.13. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Preferred Shares and Class A Shares offered hereby. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX.

The Manager, in its capacity as manager of the Company and the Company have entered into an equity distribution agreement dated April 27, 2023 (the "Equity Distribution Agreement") with RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (the "Agent") pursuant to which the Company may distribute Preferred Shares and Class A Shares from time to time through the Agent, as agent, in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement. Sales of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the short form base shelf prospectus are anticipated to be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"), including sales made directly on the TSX or on any other existing trading market for the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares, as applicable, in Canada. The Preferred Shares and Class A Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices at which Preferred Shares and Class A Shares are sold may vary as between purchasers and during the period of any distribution. In accordance with paragraph 9.3(2)(a) of National Instrument 81-102 - Investment Funds ("NI 81-102"), the issue price of the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares will not (a) as far as reasonably practicable, be a price that causes dilution of the NAV of the Company's other outstanding securities at the time of issue and (b) be a price that is less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per Unit. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under this Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after raising only a portion of the

Offering amount set out above, or none at all. See "Plan of Distribution".

The Company will pay the Agent compensation for its services in acting as agent in connection with the sale of Preferred Shares and Class A Shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement of up to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Preferred Share sold and up to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Class A Share sold (the "Commission").

As agent, the Agent will not engage in any transactions to stabilize or maintain the price of the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares. No Agent, or underwriter of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such Agent or underwriter may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Preferred Shares or Class A Shares or securities of the same class as the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares distributed under this Prospectus Supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares that would result in the Agent or underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Preferred Shares and/or Class A Shares. See "Plan of Distribution".

An investment in the Preferred Shares or the Class A Shares involves a degree of risk. It is important for prospective investors to consider the risk factors described in this Prospectus Supplement and the short form base shelf prospectus. See "Risk Factors".
