ARCTIC FOX AND MAKERSOUL ENTER INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT FOR
PROPOSED RTO TRANSACTION
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (July 18, 2025) Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. (CSE: AFX /
FSE: O5K) (the "Company") Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. ("Arctic Fox" or, the "Company") is pleased
to announce that further to its press release of February 19, 2025, it has entered into a definitive
business combination agreement (the "Agreement") with MakerSoul (Hong Kong) Limited
("MakerSoul") dated July 18, 2025 to effect a transaction that will result in the reverse take-over (the
"RTO") of Arctic Fox by MakerSoul (the "Proposed Transaction") to ultimately form the resulting
issuer (the "Resulting Issuer"). If completed, the Proposed Transaction will constitute a "fundamental
change" pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Proposed
Transaction is to be arm's length and will be subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, including
final acceptance from the Exchange. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting
Issuer will carry on the business currently carried on by MakerSoul (the "Business").
The Proposed Transaction is planned to be completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation
pursuant to which, MakerSoul will rearrange through a share exchange agreement with a British
Columbia incorporated company ("MakerSoul BC"), such that MakerSoul will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of MakerSoul BC. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in British
Columbia will then be incorporated and merge with MakerSoul BC and MakerSoul BC will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. No finder's fee of any kind shall be paid as a direct result of,
or in association with, the Proposed Transaction. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the
Resulting Issuer will carry on the business currently carried on by MakerSoul.
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, MakerSoul will advance a bridge loan to the Company in
the amount of C$25,000 (the "Bridge Loan"), which shall be secured by a general security agreement
under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Bridge Loan has been negotiated in addition to
the previously disclosed break fee of C$150,000.
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, subject to receipt of applicable approvals, MakerSoul
expects to effect a name change and symbol change, to be confirmed in connection with the closing of
the transaction.
In conjunction with and upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the board of directors and the
officers of the Resulting Issuer will be changed, and disclosed in connection with the Closing. The
directors and officers shall hold office until the first annual meeting of the shareholders of the
Resulting Issuer following closing, or until their successors are duly appointed or elected.
There are currently 70,467,381 common shares of Arctic Fox ("Arctic Fox Shares") issued and

outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, following the Consolidation (as defined herein)
the resulting holders of all issued and outstanding shares of MakerSoul ("MakerSoul Shares") shall
hold approximately 90.00% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the
"Exchange Ratio"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In connection with the Proposed
Transaction, Arctic Fox will, subject to the prior approval of the board of directors of Arctic Fox,
implement a consolidation of the Arctic Fox Shares on a 10:1 basis (the "Consolidation"), such that
following the Consolidation, there will be 7,046,738 Arctic Fox Shares outstanding. The Arctic Fox
Shares will remain halted until the closing of the Proposed Transaction.
It is anticipated that all securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for MakerSoul Shares will
be converted or exchanged (or otherwise become convertible or exercisable in accordance with their
terms) into similar securities of the Resulting Issuer on substantially similar terms and conditions based
on the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that all
outstanding stock options and common share purchase warrants of Arctic Fox will remain in effect on
substantially the same terms, subject to the Consolidation and customary anti-dilution adjustments in
accordance with the terms thereof.

or shares of the Resulting Issuer immediately prior to or in connection with the closing of the Proposed
Transaction. MakerSoul is a private corporation. It is the intention for the Resulting Issuer to be listed
for trading on the Exchange following the closing of the Proposed Transaction.
Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including but
not limited to receipt of all required shareholder, regulatory, and other approvals. The Company intends
to seek the requisite shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction by way of written consent
resolution, pursuant to the policies of the Exchange and relevant securities and corporate laws.

will be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to any U.S. Person (as

securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. This news release does not
constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of Arctic Fox in any
jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful, including the United States.
