RMR Science Technologies Inc. Provides Update on Proposed Business Combination with Turnium Technology Group, Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 8, 2022) – RMR Science Technologies Inc. (TSXV: RMS.P) (“RMR” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update with respect to the arm’s length business combination of RMR and Turnium Technology Group, Inc. (“Turnium”), pursuant to which RMR will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Turnium (the “Transaction”). Upon completion, the Transaction will constitute a reverse take-over of RMR by Turnium which will constitute RMR’s “Qualifying Transaction” under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange, with the resulting company to be renamed “Turnium Technology Group Inc.” (the “Resulting Issuer”).

Private Placement

In connection with the completion of the Transaction, on April 8, 2022, Turnium completed a private placement of: (i) the brokered sale of 2,764,984 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$1.54 million at a price of C$0.56 per Subscription Receipt (the “Brokered Offering”); and (ii) the non-brokered sale of 3,145,643 Subscription Receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of C$1.76 million at a price of C$0.56 per Subscription Receipt (the “Non-Brokered Offering”, and collectively, with the Brokered Offering, the “Private Placement”). The Subscription Receipts were created and issued pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement”) between Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as subscription receipt agent, RMR, Turnium, Eight Capital and Canaccord Genuity Corp., on behalf of the Agents (as defined below). Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted on the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions set forth in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, into a Turnium unit (each, a “Turnium Unit”) comprised of one Turnium common share and one-half of one Turnium common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Turnium Warrant”). Each Turnium Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of Turnium at a price of C$0.75 per Turnium common share on or before April 8, 2024.

Eight Capital and Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as co-lead agents for a syndicate of agents, which included Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and iA Private Wealth Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement between Turnium, RMR and the Agents (the “Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement, in consideration for their services in connection with the Brokered Offering, the Agents received (A) a cash commission equal to: (i) 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering excluding proceeds from subscribers on a president’s list plus (ii) 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering from subscribers on a president’s list (the “Cash Commission”), and (B) such number of agents’ warrants (the “Compensation Options”) as is equal to: (i) 7.0% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts issued under the Brokered Offering excluding Subscription Receipts issued to president’s list subscribers and (ii) 3.0% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts issued under the Brokered Offering to president’s list subscribers. Each Compensation Option is exercisable into one Turnium Unit at an exercise price equal to C$0.56 on or before April 8, 2024. In addition, Turnium paid the Agents an advisory fee comprised of a cash payment and the issuance of 52,000 Compensation Options.

The gross proceeds from the Private Placement (less 50% of the Cash Commission and advisory fee and the Agents’ expenses in relation to the Private Placement) are currently being held in escrow by Computershare Trust Company of Canada until the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions as set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, including confirmation that all conditions precedent to the Transaction have been satisfied.

Debt Conversion

In addition to completing the Private Placement, Turnium’s convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million has been converted into Turnium common shares at a price of $0.48 per common share.

Debt Extension

Turnium has also reached an agreement with a secured lender to extend the date for a payment of principal in the amount of $850,000 under a $1,850,000 term loan to May 31, 2023.

Turnium CFO Juliet Jones stated, “We are very pleased to have the support of our shareholders and lenders in closing the Private Placement and in renegotiating our debt. Their support has provided us with the opportunity to complete our current business plan and focus on building our market presence.”
