/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, July 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Subversive Capital Acquisition Corp. ("SCAC") has filed a final prospectus for an initial public offering (the "Offering") as a newly-organized special purpose acquisition corporation formed for the purpose of effecting an acquisition of one or more businesses within a specified period of time.

The final prospectus has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada other than Québec. The Offering is for 50,000,000 Class A restricted voting units of SCAC (the "Class A Restricted Voting Units") at an offering price of U.S.$10.00 per Class A Restricted Voting Unit, for aggregate proceeds of U.S.$500,000,000. SCAC has granted the Underwriter (as defined below) a non-transferable over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to an additional 7,500,000 Class A Restricted Voting Units on the same terms and conditions, exercisable in whole or in part, by the Underwriter up to 30 days following closing of the Offering ("Closing"). The gross proceeds of the Offering (along with the gross proceeds from any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) will be placed in escrow pending completion of a qualifying transaction by SCAC and will only be released upon certain prescribed conditions.

Each Class A Restricted Voting Unit is comprised of a Class A restricted voting share of SCAC (a "Class A Restricted Voting Share") and one-half of a share purchase warrant of SCAC (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A Restricted Voting Share for a purchase price of U.S.$11.50, commencing sixty-five (65) days after the completion of the qualifying transaction and will expire on the day that is five years after the closing date of the qualifying transaction or earlier. The Class A Restricted Voting Units are intended to begin trading promptly after the Closing. The Class A Restricted Voting Shares and the Warrants comprising the Class A Restricted Voting Units will initially trade as a unit but it is anticipated that the Class A Restricted Voting Shares and the Warrants will begin trading separately 40 days following the Closing (or, if such date is not an Exchange (as defined below) trading day, the next Exchange trading day), subject to SCAC fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the Exchange, including the distribution of the Class A Restricted Voting Units to a minimum number of public holders.

The Offering is being distributed by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Underwriter").

The Neo Exchange Inc. (the "Exchange") has conditionally approved the listing of the Class A Restricted Voting Units, the Class A Restricted Voting Shares and the Warrants (including the Warrants forming part of the Class A Restricted Voting Units and the Class B Units, the Warrants that may be sold pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and the Sponsor's Warrants (as defined below) being sold pursuant to the Offering), under the symbols "SVC.UN.U", "SVC.A.U" and "SVC.WT.U".

Prior to the qualifying transaction, the Class A Restricted Voting Shares may only be redeemed upon certain events. Class A Restricted Voting Shares will be redeemable for a pro-rata portion of the amount then held in the escrow account, net of taxes payable and other prescribed amounts.

The Sponsor intends to purchase up to an additional 750,000 Sponsor's Warrants and 75,000 Class B Units, depending on whether the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in whole or in part. Each Class B Unit will consist of one Class B share and one-half of a Warrant.
