Overall Performance
Torchlight Innovations Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 8, 2021 under the laws of British Columbia and is a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V” or the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4. Torchlight’s business plan is to find a qualifying transaction (QT) to take a private operating company public via Reverse-Take-Over (RTO). The target RTO company may be from any industry, ultimately creating shareholder returns for the investors of Torchlight.
On August 8, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering ("Offering"), raising gross proceeds of $300,000 pursuant to the Company’s final prospectus dated May 12, 2022 (the “Prospectus”) by issuing an aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Share.
Pursuant to the agency agreement dated May 12, 2022, Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent") acted as the agent for the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Agent received a cash commission of $30,000, a work fee of $15,000 (plus GST) and an option to purchase up to 300,000 Shares at a price of $0.10 per share until August 8, 2024.
The Company is a "capital pool company" (“CPC”) under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" under the policies of the Exchange. On August 4, 2022, the Exchange issued a bulletin announcing the listing of the Shares as of market open on August 8, 2022 and immediately halted trading pending completion of the Offering. The Shares resumed trading under the trading symbol "TLX.P" on August 10, 2022.

Upon closing of the Offering, the Company granted 550,000 stock options to its directors and officers which are exercisable until August 8, 2032 at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share. Following the closing of the Offering, the Company has 5,500,000 Shares issued and outstanding, 2,500,000 of which are subject to escrow restrictions.
On April 10, 2025 the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary named 1535261 B.C. ("Subco").
Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2025 the Company entered into an amalgamation agreement dated April 11, 2025 with Innovation Mining Inc. ("Innovation") and Subco pursuant to which Torchlight will, by way of a "three-cornered amalgamation", acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Innovation (together with the related transactions and corporate procedures set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, the "Transaction").
In connection with the Transaction, the Company intends to consolidate its common shares on a 1.93:1 basis (the "Consolidation") and change its name to "Innovation Mining Inc." or such other name as may be determined by Innovation (the "Name Change").
Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, and subject to certain conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals, on the closing date of the Transaction (the "Closing Date"), Innovation will amalgamate with Subco pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Amalgamation"). The amalgamated entity ("Amalco") will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torchlight.
The Amalgamation must be approved by not less than 66⅔% of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders of Innovation (the "Innovation Meeting"), which will be held to consider, among other things, the Amalgamation. The Amalgamation is not anticipated to be subject to Torchlight shareholder approval.
Innovation intends to complete a share split on an approximately 1:1.24 basis prior to completion of the SR Financing (defined below) and the Transaction (the "Share Split"). Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company will then issue one (1) post-Consolidation common share to Innovation shareholders for every one (1) common share of Innovation held. Outstanding options, warrants and broker warrants of Innovation will also be replaced with options, warrants and broker warrants of the Resulting Issuer exercisable on equivalent terms.
In connection with the Transaction and following the Share Split, Innovation intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts (each a "Subscription Receipt") at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 (the "SR Financing"). Each Subscription Receipt is expected to be exchanged for one common share and one common share purchase warrant of Innovation (exercisable at a price of $0.75) prior to completion of the Transaction. The underlying Innovation common shares and warrants will subsequently be exchanged for common shares and warrants of the Resulting Issuer on a one for one basis, in accordance with the exchange ratio, at the time of completion of the Transaction.

Prior to completion of the SR Financing and before the Share Split, Innovation intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of units (the “Units”) at a price per Unit of $0.35 ($0.28 post-Share Split) for additional gross proceeds of up to $752,500 (the “PP Financing”). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.50 per share ($0.40 post-Share Split)). Any funds raised in the PP Financing will be available for Innovation’s use towards its business prior to the completion of the Transaction and will not form part of the SR Financing.
No finder’s fee is payable in connection with the Transaction. Finder’s fees may be paid in connection with the SR Financing and PP Financing. There are no common control persons of both the Company and the Innovation. The Transaction will not constitute a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction” (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4) or a related party transaction pursuant to the policies of the TSXV and applicable securities laws.
