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

TORONTO, March 10, 2021 /CNW/ - Ether Capital Corporation ("Ether Capital" or the "Company") (NEO: ETHC) announced today the pricing of its previously announced overnight marketed offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 7,463,000 units (the "Offered Securities") at a price per Offered Security of $3.35 for total gross proceeds $25,001,050.

Each Offered Security will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per Warrant Share, until the date that is 24 months from the closing of the Offering. In the event that the closing price of the Common Shares is greater than $8.00 per Common Share for a period of 15 consecutive trading days at any time after the closing of the Offering, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving written notice to the holders thereof and in such case the Warrants will expire 30 days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

The Offered Securities will be offered in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, other than Québec, pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company's base shelf prospectus dated March 4, 2021 (the "Prospectus") and in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and applicable state securities laws. 

The Offering is expected to close on March 15, 2021 and will be subject to market and other customary conditions, including requirements of the Neo Exchange Inc.

In addition, the Company intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offered Securities pursuant to the proposed Offering on the same terms and conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to execute on the Company's business strategy of investing in projects, protocols, technologies and businesses that leverage the Ethereum ecosystem and Web 3 technologies, which may include investments in digital assets. The Company may also use the net proceeds for working capital requirements or for other general corporate purposes. Pending any such permanent use of the net proceeds, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds in Ether.

Canaccord Genuity Corp. and CIBC Capital Markets are acting as the co-lead underwriters for the Offering.
