LITE ACCESS ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF EXCLUSIVITY PERIOD WITH IRONMAN DIRECTIONAL DRILLING LTD. AND INTENDS TO EXTEND WARRANT TERM

Lite Access Technologies Inc. has extended the exclusivity period with Ironman until June 30, 2024. This extension pertains to Lite Access's proposed acquisition of Ironman and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ironman Direction Drilling Ltd., a renowned provider of directional drilling services, as initially disclosed in a news release on May 5, 2023.

The completion of this transaction remains subject to several key conditions, including the execution of a definitive agreement between Lite Access and Ironman, completion of due diligence by both parties, approval by shareholders, final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and other customary conditions. Lite Access intends to issue a subsequent news release upon the execution of a definitive share purchase agreement with Ironman.

Both Ironman and Lite Access wish to assure the market that efforts to conclude the merger are actively continuing and are progressing well. During the trading halt period, both companies have been operating as usual while successfully securing and delivering on projects, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining operational momentum. Collaboration between the two companies is also under way, facilitating a smooth integration upon the deal's closure. These efforts are also showing positive effects on the combined financials, underscoring the strategic rationale behind the decision to merge the two entities.

Extension of warrant term

The company will be applying for approval from the exchange to extend the expiry date of 8,355,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at 15 cents, issued to subscribers under the company's private placement that closed on March 25, 2022.
