PR Technology Announces Closing of First Tranche of Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BC, February 8, 2024 – PR Technology Inc. (CSE: PRTI) (the “ Company ”) announces that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “ Private Placement ”) for gross proceeds of $200,000 through the issuance of 2,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (“ Common Shares ”) at a price of $0.10 per share to PRH Co., Ltd. a control person of the Company (“ PRH ”).

The Private Placement is being conducted pursuant to a partial revocation order (the “ Partial Revocation Order ”) issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “ BCSC ”) on January 25, 2024. The Partial Revocation Order partially revoked the failure-to-file cease trade order that was issued by the BCSC against the Company on May 8, 2023 (the “ FFCTO ”) for failing to file certain outstanding continuous disclosure documents in a timely manner. The FFCTO continues to apply in all other respects. The Company is also subject to a cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on May 8, 2023 (the “ Ontario CTO ”).

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement to prepare and file all outstanding financial statements and continuous disclosure records, pay all outstanding related fees and penalties, and to continue operations until it can apply for and receive a full revocation of the FFCTO and the Ontario CTO. Completion of the Private Placement should permit the Company to prepare and file all such outstanding financial statements and continuous disclosure records. Once those filings have been completed, the Company intends to apply for a full revocation of the FFCTO and the Ontario CTO and ask that trading of its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “ CSE ”) be reinstated.

In accordance with applicable securities legislation, all common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the closing date of the Private Placement. Further, the common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement may not be transferred until full revocation of the FFCTO, of which there is no guarantee.

Participation by PRH in the Private Placement constitutes a related-party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61101 ”). The issuance of securities is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the common shares of the Company are listed on the CSE. The issuance of securities is also exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, which provides an exemption where certain financial hardship criteria set out in MI 61-101 are met. The Company's decision to rely on the financial hardship exemption was made upon the recommendation of the independent directors of the Company, all of whom are unrelated to PRH, with respect to the merits of the Private Placement and the resulting approval of the Private Placement by the board of directors of the Company. The Company did not file a

material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the first tranche of the Private Placement as the Company did not receive the Partial Revocation Order permitting the Private Placement until recently.

Early Warning Disclosure

In connection with the Private Placement, PRH will acquire 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.10 per Common Share (the “ Acquisition ”). The Acquisition requires disclosure pursuant to the early warning requirements of applicable securities laws. PRH is a control person (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company.

Prior to the completion of the first tranche of the Private Placement, PRH owned and exercised control or direction over an aggregate of 2,985,000 Common Shares representing approximately 26.52% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Upon completion of the first tranche of the Private Placement, PRH owns and exercises control or direction over a total of 4,985,000 Common Shares, which represents approximately 37.61% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

PRH may from time to time and depending on market and other conditions and subject to the requirements of applicable securities laws, dispose or acquire additional Common Shares through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, exercises of convertible securities or otherwise, or may, subject to the requirements of applicable securities laws, sell all or some portion of the Common Shares it owns or controls, or may continue to hold the Common Shares.

This disclosure is being provided in accordance with National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues in connection with the filing of an early warning report by PRH in respect of the Acquisition, which report will contain additional information with respect to the foregoing matters.
