NexOptic Provides Notice of Acceleration of Expiry Date of Re-Priced Warrants

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NexOptic Technology Corp. ("NexOptic" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NXO) (OTCQB: NXOPF) (FSE: E3O1), hereby provides notice that the 30-day accelerated exercise provision attached to NexOptic share purchase warrants that were approved for re-pricing from $0.60 to $0.36 in June of this year is now in effect. Warrant holders have until 4:00 PM PST (Vancouver time) on August 13, 2020 to exercise any outstanding warrants, after which the warrants will have expired and all unexercised warrants will be void and of no effect.

Of 7,531,449 warrants in question, 2,924,949 (approximately 40%) have already been exercised for gross proceeds of $1,052,981.64 to the Company.

In accordance with the policies of the TSXV Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"), upon a re-pricing of warrants to an exercise price below market at the time of issuance, an acceleration provision must be added such that in the event that the market price of the Company's shares exceeds a certain level, a mandatory acceleration of the warrant term to 30 days from the date of such trading threshold being met applies. In the case for NexOptic, if the closing common share price on the TSX-V was $0.45 or above for 10 consecutive trading days, the acceleration provision automatically comes into effect. This threshold occurred at 1 PM, PST today.

Additional details of the warrants and their repricing can be found in the Company's May 29, 2020 news release.

The NexOptic team wishes to thank its share and warrant holders for their continued strong support.
