Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 29, 2021) – 1315622 B.C. Ltd. (“622BC“) is pleased to announce the execution of a binding letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement“) dated November 26, 2021 with a British Columbia-based company holding an option agreement to acquire an advanced stage gold exploration project with indicated and inferred gold mineral resource estimates for the property (the “Target“, and collectively with 622BC (the “Parties“)) which, subject to certain conditions and applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals, will result in a reverse takeover of 622BC by the shareholders of Target (the “Proposed Transaction“). The resulting issuer from the Proposed Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“) will carry on the current business of the Target.
About the Target
The Target is a mineral exploration and development company focused on the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Target holds the sole, immediate, exclusive and irrevocable option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in a property.
The Letter Agreement
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Proposed Transaction is anticipated to be completed by way of a three cornered amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (the “BCBCA“), whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of 622BC will amalgamate with the Target. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, 622BC will reconstitute its board of directors and senior officers to be comprised of the nominees of the Target (the “Board and Management Rotation“), and will change its name to one determined by the Target in its sole discretion (the “Name Change“) and the Resulting Issuer will conduct its business under the new name.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, 622BC will effect a stock split or consolidation (the “Adjustment“) of its issued and outstanding common shares (“622BC Shares“) prior to completion of the Transaction (the “Closing“), that results in the shareholders of 622BC receiving 762,500 622BC Shares. The 622BC Shares upon completion of the Adjustment are referred to herein as the “Adjusted 622BC Shares“. In accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement, it is expected that the holders of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Target (the “Target’s Shares“) will be issued one (1) Adjusted 622BC Share in exchange for every one (1) the Target’s Share (the “Exchange Ratio“) held immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction.
The Letter Agreement includes a number of conditions, including but not limited to, the Adjustment of 622BC Shares, requisite shareholder approvals including the approval of the shareholders of the Target, the Resulting Issuer meeting the minimum listing standards as set by the NEO Exchange (the “NEO“), the completion of the Name Change and the Board and Management Rotation, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Proposed Transaction and other closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Proposed Transaction. 622BC may choose to or be required to call an annual general and special meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting“) in due course, and its shareholders would be asked to approve the following matters, among others, at the Meeting: the reconstitution of 622BC’s board of directors, the Name Change, the Adjustment, and the Proposed Transaction or a component thereof. Further, the Target shall make a deposit of $20,000 to 622BC, of which $10,000 is refundable upon the termination and subject to certain conditions of the Letter Agreement. Upon the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Target shall also pay $80,000 to 622BC to fund the costs of all expenses involved to complete the Proposed Transaction.
622BC is a reporting issuer in the province of British Columbia and is validly existing under the laws of the BCBCA. The Resulting Issuer intends to apply to list its common shares on the NEO.
The Target’s Concurrent Financing
The Target intends to complete concurrent private placement for such amount of gross proceeds as determined by the Target (the “Concurrent Financing“), at a price per security and on terms and conditions to be determined by the sole discretion of the Target.

Fintech Pulse: Your Daily Industry Brief (Chime, ZBD, MiCA)
As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.
Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets
Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.
With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval
ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.
MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
