About MGX Renewables
MGX Renewables has developed a patented zinc-air flow battery that efficiently stores energy in the form of zinc particles and contains none of the traditional high cost battery commodities such as lithium, vanadium or cobalt. The technology allows for low cost mass storage of energy and can be deployed into a wide range of scalable energy storage applications. The zinc-air flow-battery is differentiated from other battery technologies by its ability to decouple the relationship between energy (kWh) and power (kW), by the very low cost of its zinc energy storage medium, and by the inherent safety of its chemistry.

Legal Advisories
Listing of the Renewables shares remains subject to CSE approval. A market for Renewables Shares may not sustainably develop following the completion of the Plan of Arrangement. If a market for Renewables Shares does not sustainably develop, MGX shareholders may have difficulty selling their Renewables Shares and the market price for Renewables Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s and Renewables’ control.

Following completion of the Plan of Arrangement, the Company will own or control Renewables Shares and that ownership or control may be material. As a result, the Company could have the ability to control or veto matters submitted to Renewables’ shareholders for approval. This may negatively affect the attractiveness of Renewables to third parties considering an acquisition of Renewables or cause the market price of the Renewables Shares to decline. The interests of the Company may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of Renewables’ shareholders. In addition, the Company may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in the judgment of its management, could enhance its equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to Renewables’ shareholders and may ultimately adversely affect the market price of the Renewables Shares. So long as the Company continues to own, directly or indirectly, a significant amount of the Renewables Shares, the Company may be able to strongly influence or effectively control Renewables’ decisions.

The Company does, from time to time, make investments in other companies and in its own research and development initiatives. As such, the Company may acquire interests in companies or otherwise develop businesses that directly or indirectly compete with all or certain portions of Renewables’ business or that are suppliers to, or customers of, Renewables.

MGX shareholders should consult their own tax advisors in respect of the Plan of Arrangement.
