APHELION CAPITAL CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE TO QUALIFYING TRANSACTION WITH ETI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Vancouver, British Columbia , January 8, 2021, Aphelion Capital Corp. (TSXV: APHE.P) (the “ Company ”) announces that, further to its news release dated August 13, 2020, it has entered into an amended arm’s-length letter of intent dated January 6, 2021 (the “ Amended LOI ”) with ETI Technologies, Inc. (“ ETI ”) to its arm’s-length letter of intent (the “ LOI ”) dated August 7, 2020, in connection with a proposed combination of the business of ETI with the Company. The Amended LOI outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company and ETI will complete a transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of the Company by ETI (the “ Proposed Transaction ”). The Proposed Transaction will be an arm’s length transaction, and, if completed, will constitute the Company’s “Qualifying Transaction” (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”)). Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the resulting issuer (the “ Resulting Issuer ”) will carry on the business of ETI, and intends to list as a technology issuer on the Exchange.

Proposed Transaction Summary

The Proposed Transaction is expected to be structured by way of a share exchange, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other similar business combination as agreed to by the parties. As part of the Proposed Transaction, the shareholders of ETI will receive approximately 66,500,000 preferred shares in the capital of the Company (such preferred shares to be created at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held in advance of closing and having a liquidation preference of US$1.00 per preferred share) in exchange for their shares of ETI. The Proposed Transaction may be structured in any manner agreed to between the Company and ETI and the final structure is subject to the receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice by both the Company and ETI. The parties currently anticipate entering into a definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction on or around January 28, 2021, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company shall complete a private placement (the “ Private Placement ”) financing of not less than CAD$5,000,000 at a price per security of not less than CAD$0.25, or such other terms as may be agreed between the Company and ETI, on a best efforts basis to be arranged by such broker as may be agreed to between the Company and ETI.

The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, the parties successfully entering into a definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction, the completion of the Private Placement, receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Exchange and shareholder approval with respect to the creation of the preferred shares, and certain other closing conditions, including the completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Company.

Additional information regarding the Proposed Transaction will be set out in a comprehensive filing statement (the “ Filing Statement ”) which will be filed with the Exchange and posted on the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Directors, Officers and Other Insiders of the Resulting Issuer
