EEStor Corporation to Complete Private Placement and Amend Terms of Share Purchase Warrants

TORONTO, March 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EEStor Corporation (TSX.V: ESU) ("EEStor" or the "Corporation") announces that it will offer (the "Offering") up to 16,666,667 units (each, a "Unit") by way of non-brokered private placement at a price of $0.03 per Unit to raise gross proceeds of up to $500,000. Each "Unit" will consist of one common share of the Corporation, and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.05 for a period of twenty-four months.

Ian Clifford, Founder and CEO of the Corporation commented: "With the challenging global markets we face today, the board of EEStor has decided that strengthening our balance sheet is a prudent strategy. The imperative for sustainable and localized power generation has never been more evident, and as we continue to progress forward with our acquisition of Infinium Generation, we foresee many opportunities for EEStor shareholders."

The Corporation intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to retire existing payables, support operations and cover general and administrative expenses for the next six months. Assuming the Offering is completed in full, the Corporation estimates allocating the proceeds as follows:

The above figures are estimates only and there may be circumstances in which the Corporation is required to reallocate proceeds of the Offering based on the operational needs of the Corporation, or in the event the Offering is not completed in full.

The Corporation may pay finders' fees to eligible parties who have introduced subscribers to the Offering. All securities to be issued by the Corporation in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Completion of the Offering remains subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and cannot be completed until such approval has been obtained. Completion of the Offering is not contingent on completion of any transaction with Infinium Generation Ltd.

Warrant Amendment

The Corporation previously announced that it would amend the terms of an aggregate of 4,055,000 share purchase warrants (the "March Warrants"), currently exercisable to acquire common shares of the Corporation at a price of $0.45 until March 16, 2020. The March Warrants were previously issued in connection with a tranche of a non-brokered private placement completed by the Corporation. In addition to the March Warrants, the Corporation now intends to amend the terms of a further 2,743,000 share purchase warrants (the "April Warrants"), issued in connection with a further tranche of the same placement, and which are currently exercisable to acquire common shares of the Corporation on the same terms until April 12, 2020.

Under the terms of the amendment, both the March Warrants and the April Warrants will now be exercisable at a price of $0.10 until March 16, 2021 and April 12, 2021, respectively. In accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the amendment will also provide that the exercise period of the warrants will be reduced to thirty days if, for any ten consecutive trading days, the closing price of the common shares of the Corporation on the TSX Venture Exchange is $0.125 or greater. The reduced thirty-day period will begin seven calendar days after such ten-consecutive-trading-day period.

The March Warrants, and the April Warrants, were previously issued in connection with a non-brokered private placement completed by the Corporation, and not in compensation for any services provided to the Corporation. None of the March Warrants, or the April Warrants, are held by directors, officers or control persons of the Corporation.
