("Edge"), Electric Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aphelion, Aphelion FundCo Inc. ("FundCo"), and 1289571 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aphelion, (together, the "Parties") which will constitute the qualifying transaction of the Company (the "Qualifying Transaction"), and that it has filed a filing statement in respect of the Qualifying Transaction dated effective November 12, 2021 on the Company's SEDAR profile (the "Filing Statement"). Aphelion is further pleased to announce that the Parties have executed an amendment to the Merger Agreement whereby the Parties have agreed to extend the outside date in respect of the Merger Agreement to January 31, 2022, make certain amendments to the special rights and restrictions to be attached to the subordinate voting shares ("SVS") and preferred multiple voting shares ("MVS") to be created in connection with the Qualifying Transaction (the "Special Rights"), amended the stock split to be undertaken by the Company in connection with the Qualifying Transaction from 5:1 to 2:1 (the "Split"), and agreed to certain amendments generally to accommodate the Financings (as defined below). The amended Special Rights and Split ratio will be subject to shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held on December 14, 2021 (the "Meeting"). Aphelion has prepared an information circular in connection with the Meeting, a copy of which is available on the Company's SEDAR profile. The Parties may further amend the terms of the Merger Agreement or with respect to the Qualifying Transaction as may be required and agreed upon in order to complete the Qualifying Transaction. Concurrent Financings In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, Aphelion, Edge and FundCo have entered into an engagement letter dated September 29, 2021 with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent"), pursuant to which each of Aphelion and FundCo will complete a brokered private placement in connection with the Qualifying Transaction. Aphelion will complete a brokered private placement of a minimum of 6,935,483 and a maximum of 9,677,419 post-Split SVS (the SVS sold under the Aphelion Financing (as defined below), an "Offered Share") at a price per Offered Share of C$0.62 (the "Financing Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately between C$4,300,000 and C$6,000,000 (the "Aphelion Financing"), and FundCo will complete a brokered private placement of 1,612,903 subscription receipts of FundCo ("Subscription Receipts") at a price per Subscription Receipt equal to the Financing Price for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$1,000,000 (the "FundCo Financing", and together with the Aphelion Financing, the "Financings"). Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the resulting issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Financings for company growth, product development, strategic acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Aphelion Financing Closing of the Aphelion Financing will follow the completion of the Split, and each Offered Share shall be, upon issue, a post-Split SVS. Each Offered Share will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance thereof. In connection with the Aphelion Financing, the Agent will be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Aphelion Financing (the "Aphelion Cash Fee") and be issued such number of share purchase warrants (the "Aphelion Agents' Warrants") as is equal to 7% of the Offered Shares sold under the Aphelion Financing. Each Aphelion Agents' Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one SVS at the Financing Price for a period of twentyᅊfour months following the date of issuance thereof. The Aphelion Financing shall be completed concurrently or immediately before the closing of the Qualifying Transaction and shall be following the completion of the Split. FundCo Financing Each Subscription Receipt will automatically be converted, without payment of any additional consideration and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, into one common share in the capital of FundCo (a "FundCo Share"), upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions") as described in a subscription receipt agreement to be entered into at closing of the FundCo Financing (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"). Each FundCo Share received by holders of the Subscription Receipts shall then be converted into one post-Split SVS in connection with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The gross proceeds of the FundCo Financing, less 50% of the FundCo Cash Fee (as defined below) and the cash portion of the CFF (as defined below), which will be paid upon closing of the FundCo Financing, will be deposited in escrow at closing pending the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions. If either: (i) the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the escrow release deadline to be stipulated in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (the "Escrow Deadline"); or (ii) prior to such Escrow Deadline, Edge or Aphelion advises the Agent or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the escrowed funds shall be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. In connection with the FundCo Financing, the Agent will be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the FundCo Financing (the "FundCo Cash Fee") and be issued such number of FundCo Share purchase warrants (the "FundCo Agents' Warrants") as is equal to 7% of the Subscription Receipts sold under the FundCo Financing. If, and only if, the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, each FundCo Agents' Warrant will be exchanged for one SVS purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one SVS at the Financing Price for a period of twenty᩹four months following the date of issuance thereof. In addition, Aphelion and FundCo will pay the Agent a $150,000 corporate finance fee (the "CFF") upon closing of the FundCo Financing, with 50% of the CFF payable in cash and 50% of the CFF payable in FundCo Shares at a deemed price per FundCo Share equal to the Financing Price. The FundCo Financing shall be completed on such date to be determined between FundCo and the Agent. Closing Assuming all conditions to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction are satisfied, the Parties anticipate closing the Qualifying Transaction in December, 2021. In due course, the parties will issue a further press release announcing the closing of the Qualifying Transaction and the date on which the common shares of the Company will resume trading.
