Immediately prior to the completion of the
Amalgamation, Rebel will consolidate all of its issued and
outstanding common shares (“Rebel Shares”) on the
basis of one post-consolidation Rebel Share for every two
pre-consolidation Rebel Shares. At the effective time of the
Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), each issued
Alzex common share will be cancelled and replaced by one common
share in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (a “Resulting
Issuer Share”) and all other outstanding convertible
securities of Alzex will become exercisable for Resulting Issuer
Shares in accordance with the terms of the Definitive
Agreement.
Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction,
it is expected that the Resulting Issuer Shares will be composed of
the following:
- 37,925,863 common shares;
- Shares purchased through the Alzex Financing (as defined in the
Definitive Agreement) of up to 10,000,000 Alzex Units (as defined
in the Definitive Agreement) at a price of $0.25 per Alzex Unit for
gross proceeds of $2,500,000, which shall close prior to the
Amalgamation, and in any event, shall close no later than March 31,
2020. Each Alzex Unit will be comprised of one common share
and one whole share purchase warrant, each warrant exercisable for
one Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of 24
months following closing of the Alzex Financing; and,
- Shares purchased in the Subscription Receipt Offering (as
defined in the Definitive Agreement) of at least 8,333,333 units
and up to 16,666,666 units at a price of $0.30 per unit for gross
proceeds of between $2,500,000 and $5,000,000 whereby each
subscription receipt shall be exchangeable into units of the
Resulting Issuer. Each Unit will be comprised of one common
share and one whole share purchase warrant, each warrant
exercisable for one Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.60 for
a period of 24 months following closing of the Subscription Receipt
Offering.
Each of a, b and c above shall be completed in
accordance with the terms of the Definitive Agreement and are
subject to any regulatory, shareholder, director, TSX Venture
Exchange (the “Exchange”) or other approvals that
may be required.

Cautionary Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws
relating to the proposal to complete the Qualifying Transaction and
associated transactions, including statements regarding the terms
and conditions of the Qualifying Transaction, the Alzex Financing,
the Subscription Receipt Offering, and the Consolidation and the
Name Change. The information about Alzex contained in the press
release has not been independently verified by Rebel. Although
Rebel believes in light of the experience of its officers and
directors, current conditions and expected future developments and
other factors that have been considered appropriate that the
expectations reflected in this forward-looking information are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because
Rebel can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on
forward-looking information. Actual results and developments may
differ materially from those contemplated by these statements
depending on, among other things, the risks that the parties will
not proceed with the Qualifying Transaction, the Alzex Financing,
the Subscription Receipt Offering, the Consolidation, the Name
Change and associated transactions, that the ultimate terms of the
Qualifying Transaction, the Alzex Financing, the Subscription
Receipt Financing, the Consolidation and the Name Change and
associated transactions will differ from those that currently are
contemplated, and that the Qualifying Transaction, the Alzex
Financing, the Subscription Receipt Offering, the Consolidation,
the Name Change and associated transactions will not be
successfully completed for any reason (including the failure to
obtain the required approvals or clearances from regulatory
authorities). The terms and conditions of the Qualifying
Transaction may change based on Rebel’s due diligence (which is
going to be limited as Rebel intends largely to rely on the due
diligence of other parties of the Qualifying Transaction to contain
its costs, among other things) and the receipt of tax, corporate
and securities law advice for both Rebel and Alzex. The statements
in this press release are made as of the date of this release.

or statements made by third-parties in respect of Rebel, Alzex,
