Strong Endorsement of SOL Global's Solana Strategy from debt holders through debt for equity settlement at premium to market price

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 8, 2024) - SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTC Pink: SOLCF) (FSE: 9SB) ("SOL" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the following updates on its debt facilities.

Accommodation Agreement with Senior Secured Lender

SOL (the "SOL Accommodation Agreement") and House of Lithium Ltd. ("HOL"), in which SOL Global holds approximately 66% of the outstanding equity interests (the "HOL Accommodation Agreement", and together with the SOL Accommodation Agreement, the "Accommodation Agreements"), have entered into accommodation agreements with their senior secured creditor, Braebeacon Holdings Inc. ("BHI"), pursuant to which BHI has agreed to amend the loan agreements (the "Loan Agreements") between BHI and each of SOL Global and HOL. The Accommodation Agreements have granted SOL an extension until September 30, 2025, provided the Company continues to remain in good standing. The current indebtedness of SOL Global to BHI is $13,244,445 and of HOL to BHI is $15,380,471. Pursuant to the SOL Accommodation Agreement, the Company will also pay to BHI a fee of $1,200,000, which fee will be satisfied in full by the issuance of 8,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") at a deemed price of $0.15 per Common Share. Pursuant to the HOL Accommodation Agreement, HOL will also pay to BHI a fee of $1,500,000, which fee will be paid in cash, added as principal to the indebtedness of HOL under its respective Loan Agreement with BHI.

"While we continue to emphasize on de-leveraging our balance sheet, this agreement allows us to maximize value from our investments and execution related to our new Solana focused portfolio," stated SOL's Interim CEO and CFO Paul Kania.

Debt Conversion

SOL is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with a number of arms-length creditors (the "Creditors") of the Company to settle (the "Settlement") outstanding indebtedness totaling $5,530,890 through the issuance of 36,872,601 Common Shares (the "Settlement Shares") at a deemed price of $0.15 per Settlement Share, a premium to the market price.

The Settlement Shares will be subject to restrictions on resale for a period of four-months-and-one-day in accordance with applicable securities laws.

"We are pleased that our new initiative has given enough confidence to convert a substantial amount of debt to stock," stated SOL's Interim CEO and CFO Paul Kania. "This allows us to put more dollars into our investment objectives."

The Settlement transaction involving PLK Accounting & Finance Inc. ("PLK") will be a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as Paul Kania, SOL's Interim CEO and CFO, is the principal shareholder of PLK. PLK is a Creditor entitled to receive an aggregate of 6,666,667 Settlement Shares in settlement of indebtedness of approximately $1,000,000. However, the issuance of such Settlement Shares is exempt from (i) the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b), as the Settlement Shares are not listed on a market specified in MI 61-101, and (ii) the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of such Settlement Shares does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The participation by PLK in the Settlement transaction has been approved by directors of the Company who are independent in connection with such transaction. No special committee was established in connection with the Settlement, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto. Further details will be included in a material change report that will be filed by the Company in connection with the completion of the Settlement. The Company anticipates that the material change report will be filed less than 21 days before the closing date of the Settlement but believes that this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the Company wishes to improve its financial position by reducing its accrued liabilities as soon as possible.
