FARSTARCAP ANNOUNCES PROPOSED QUALIFYING TRANSACTION TO ACQUIRE BP EXPLORATION
CORP.
Vancouver, BC March 14, 2025 - Farstarcap Investment Corp. (TSXV: FRS.P) ("Farstarcap" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a term sheet (the "Term Sheet") dated March
12, 2025, with BP Exploration Corp. ("BPEx") regarding a proposed transaction to acquire all of the issued
and outstanding securities of BPEx (the "Acquisition"). Upon completion of the Acquisition, the combined
entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue the business of BPEx as a Tier 2 "mining" issuer. The
Acquisition is intended to constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of Farstarcap, as such a term is defined
in Policy 2.4 "Capital Pool Companies" of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The Acquisition is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" pursuant to the policies of the
Exchange and, as such, the Company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the Acquisition.
Terms of the Qualifying Transaction
Subject to the execution of a definitive agreement ("Definitive Agreement"), Farstarcap proposes to
acquire from the shareholders of BPEx all the issued and outstanding securities of BPEx in exchange for
securities of Farstarcap. In consideration of BPEx, Farstarcap will issue one Post-Consolidation Farstarcap
Share (as defined below) for every BPEx Share. Farstarcap will also issue convertible securities in exchange
for the convertible securities of BPEx, if unexercised prior to closing of the Acquisition, on the same
exchange ratio.
As a condition of closing of the Acquisition, Farstarcap will complete a consolidation (the "Farstarcap
Consolidation") of its common shares on the basis of four (4) pre-consolidation shares of Farstarcap for
three (3) post-consolidation Farstarcap Shares (the "Post-consolidation Farstarcap Shares").
Prior to closing of the Acquisition, BPEx will also cancel one-third of 9,500,000 common shares of BPEx
("BPEx Shares") issued at $0.005 per BPEx Share (the "BPEx Founder Shares") and one-half of 7,283,000
BPEx Shares issued at $0.025 per BPEx Share (the "BPEx Seed Shares"). Each cancelled BPEx Seed Share
will be replaced with a common share purchase warrant (the "BPEx Warrant") exercisable at $0.10 per
common share for a period of five years from the date of issue. Upon completion of the Acquisition,
Farstarcap will issue one Post-Consolidation Farstarcap Share for every Post-consolidation BPEx Shares as
consideration for the Acquisition (the "Consideration Shares").
The closing of the Acquisition will also be conditional upon Farstarcap completing a concurrent private
placement financing (the "Concurrent Financing") for minimum gross proceeds of $1,000,000 and
maximum gross proceeds of $2,500,000. Farstarcap intends to use the net proceeds of the Concurrent
Financing for exploration and working capital purposes. The terms of the Concurrent Financing will be
disclosed in a subsequent news release issued by Farstarcap.
Farstarcap intends to make an application for a waiver from the Exchange's sponsorship requirements.
No finder's fee will be payable by either Farstarcap or BPEx in connection with the Acquisition.
The Acquisition is conditional upon, among other things, completion of due diligence to the satisfaction
of the parties, entry into a Definitive Agreement, approval from the Exchange and such other conditions
that are customary for this type of transaction.
Other Information
Farstarcap will issue additional news releases related to the final legal structure and final terms of the
Acquisition, post-closing capitalization of the Resulting Issuer, financial information regarding BPEx, the
names and background of insiders of the Resulting Issuer and other material information as it becomes
available.
Trading in the common shares of Farstarcap is presently halted. The common shares of Farstarcap will
remain halted until the Acquisition is completed and approved by the Exchange.
