VANCOUVER, BC, July 24, 2020 /CNW/ - Dizun International Enterprises Inc. (CSE: KDZ) ("Dizun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of a $750,000 non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units of the Company (each a "Unit") and that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Maitri Health Corp. ("Maitri") to complete a business combination by way of a reverse takeover (the "RTO") of Dizun by the shareholders of Maitri. Upon completion of the RTO, the combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue to carry on the business of Maitri. The closing of the RTO is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including without limitation regulatory approval for the listing of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange"). The LOI was negotiated at arm's length and is effective July 23, 2020.

Private Placement

Pursuant to the Private Placement, Dizun issued 30,000,000 Units at a price of $0.025 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $750,000.

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of Dizun (a "Dizun Share") and one Dizun Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Dizun Share at an exercise price of $0.025 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

The Private Placement is subject to the approval of the Exchange and the securities will be subject to a four-month hold period under securities laws.

In connection with the Private Placement, Dizun paid a cash finder's fee of $1,850 and issued 70,000 Finder's Warrants. The Finder's Warrants have the same terms as the Warrants and will be subject to a four-month hold period under securities laws.

Description of Maitri

Maitri is a coordinated global platform that delivers reliable, high quality health care supplies with transparent supply chains. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed a need for a new way to manufacture and manage healthcare and PPE materials. Businesses need new protocols to keep workers safe and healthcare needs to equip first responders. Created by industry leaders, Maitri's mission is to bring a stable supply of materials to enable businesses and healthcare to function efficiently. Maitri is securing strategic on-shore manufacturing and licensing agreements. Clients of Maitri have a system that ensures medical supplies are available, reliable, consistent and sustainable. With advanced protocols for production, logistics, advanced technology and strict quality control, Maitri will ensure our global community is able to navigate every biomedical emergency. For further information, refer to Maitri's website at www.maitrihealth.ca.

Terms of the RTO

The RTO is expected to be completed by way of a share exchange between the shareholders of Maitri (the "Maitri Shareholders") and Dizun, following which the Resulting Issuer will continue the business of Maitri. In exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Maitri (the "Maitri Shares"), the Maitri Shareholders will receive an aggregate of 250,000,000 Dizun Shares.

The Parties anticipate entering into a definitive amalgamation agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") by the end of August 2020, following the completion of satisfactory due diligence. The RTO constitutes an Arm's Length Transaction under the policies of the Exchange.

As of the date hereof, Dizun has 41,605,880 Dizun Shares outstanding, as well as an aggregate of 30,070,000 warrants.

As of the date hereof, Maitri has 25,000,000 Maitri Shares outstanding and no convertible securities.
