Green Scientific Labs Holdings Inc. Announces Completion of Reverse Takeover

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 15, 2021 /CNW/ - Green Scientific Labs Holdings Inc. (formerly Prominex Resource Corp.) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of the reverse takeover transaction (the "RTO") pursuant to which the Company acquired Green Scientific Labs, LLC ("GSL"). In connection with the RTO, the common shares of the Company, which have been redesignated as class A subordinate voting shares ("Subordinate Voting Shares") have been conditionally approved for listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "GSL".

Closing of the RTO

Pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement and plan of merger previously entered into between the Company, GSL and PRC Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Mergerco"), the RTO was completed by way of a merger under the laws of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the RTO, GSL merged with Mergerco, with GSL continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the RTO, the Company will continue to carry on the business of GSL.

In connection with closing of the RTO, the Company, which was formerly named "Prominex Resource Corp.", amended its articles to change its name to "Green Scientific Labs Holdings Inc." and also to implement a dual share class structure consisting of the Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B multiple voting shares ("Multiple Voting Shares"). At closing of the RTO, there were 14,701,745 Subordinate Voting Shares and 64,972 Multiple Voting Shares issued and outstanding. Each Subordinate Voting Share carries one vote per share and each Multiple Voting Share carries one hundred votes per share. The Subordinate Voting Shares are expected to begin trading on the CSE on or about November 18, 2021. The Multiple Voting Shares will not be listed for trading on the CSE but may be converted into Subordinate Voting Shares in certain circumstances.

Upon closing of the RTO, the following individuals were appointed to the Company's board of directors: Paul Crage, Michael Richmond, Ed Murray, Alex Spiro and Olivier Centner.

Concurrent Financing

In connection with the RTO, on November 12, 2021, GSL completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,176,416 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of USD$3.85 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of USD$4,529,200 (the "Concurrent Financing"). Immediately prior to the completion of the RTO, each Subscription Receipt automatically converted into one unit of GSL (a "Unit"), each Unit consisting of one GSL membership interest ("GSL Unit") and one GSL Unit purchase warrant (each a "Unit Warrant") and, immediately thereafter, pursuant to the RTO (a) each such GSL Unit was exchanged for either one Subordinate Voting Share or 1/100 of a Multiple Voting Share and (b) each Unit Warrant was exchanged for one share purchase warrant of the Company (each a "Resulting Issuer Warrant"). Each Resulting Issuer Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase either one Subordinate Voting Share or 1/100 of a Multiple Voting Share at a price of USD$4.50 for a period of 36 months following the Closing Date, provided that if the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the CSE is greater than CAD$8.50 for ten consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the time of expiry of the Resulting Issuer Warrants to the day that is 30 days from the date that notice of such acceleration is given to holders of Resulting Issuer Warrants. The proceeds of the Concurrent Financing were placed into escrow upon completion of the Concurrent Financing and were released from escrow to the Company in connection with the consummation of the RTO.
