Bitcoin Well Inc. (formerly Red River Capital
Corp.) (the “Company”) (TSXV: XBT.P) announces today that it has
completed its previously announced arm’s length qualifying
transaction (the “Transaction”) with 1739001 Alberta Ltd. (o/a
Bitcoin Well) (“Old Bitcoin Well”) along with the conversion of the
subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) issued in
connection with the Company’s previously announced $7.0 million
private placement offering (the “Offering”) led by Canaccord
Genuity Corp.
“We are absolutely ecstatic to have completed
the Transaction, which kicks off the next phase of our continued
evolution as we become a publicly traded company,” said Adam
O’Brien, CEO of the Company. “In anticipation of this milestone, we
have already established governance protocols and have been
operating as though we were public for several quarters. The
completion of the Transaction, which is one of the final hurdles to
our public listing, represents a critical event for the Company as
the listing will offer a new platform to share information and
education about the opportunity for people to become financially
sovereign, while increasing our global visibility, reaching a broad
new investor base and gaining access to diverse pools of capital
that can help fund our continued growth. I want to thank the team
at Bitcoin Well and all stakeholders involved in the transaction
for all of the hard work getting to this point, and we look forward
to welcoming both pre-coiners and experienced bitcoiners to
participate with us on this journey.”
The Transaction, which constitutes the Company’s
“Qualifying Transaction” (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of
the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) Corporate Finance Manual),
was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to
which 2283971 Alberta Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, amalgamated with Bitcoin Well to form a newly amalgamated
company (“Amalco”), which now holds the assets of Old Bitcoin Well,
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Amalco shall operate
under the name “Bitcoin Well Holdings Inc.”.
Conversion of Bitcoin Well Subscription
Receipts and Escrow Release
In connection with the Transaction, the Company
has satisfied the escrow release conditions of the Offering and the
Subscription Receipts were automatically converted to common shares
and warrants of Old Bitcoin Well and then were immediately
exchanged for common shares and warrants of the Company on a 10:1
basis. The escrowed funds, net of the outstanding cash commission
and expenses payable to the agent (equal to approximately
$434,000), has been released to the Company. Additionally, the
agent elected to receive $234,500 of its commission in the form of
units comprised of 93,800 common shares and 46,900 common share
purchase warrants (each a "Warrant"), representing 938,000 common
shares and 469,000 common share purchase warrants on a post
Transaction exchange basis. The agents were also issued 20,000
Subscription Receipts on the closing of the financing which have
been converted into 200,000 common shares and 100,000 Warrants.
Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to
purchase one common share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price
equal to $0.375 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from
the closing of the Transaction. The Offering was led by Canaccord
Genuity Corp.
Name Change and Share
Exchange
Contemporaneous with the Transaction, the
Company changed its name from "Red River Capital Corp" to “Bitcoin
Well Inc.”.
Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company
has a total of 162,879,500 shares issued and outstanding on a
non-diluted basis, with approximately 96% held by existing Bitcoin
Well shareholders and approximately 4% held by former Red River
Capital Corp. shareholders. Of this total amount, 76,992,161 common
shares are held in escrow pursuant to a TSXV - Tier 2 Surplus
Escrow Agreement and 25,567,413 common shares are held in escrow

Reader Advisory / Forward-Looking
Statements
Statements in this press release regarding
Bitcoin Well which are not historical facts are “forward-looking
statements” that involve risks and uncertainties, such as the
timing of expansion plans and activities, as well as various
business objectives. Such information can generally be identified
by the use of forwarding-looking wording such as “may”, “expect”,
“estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe” and “continue” or the
negative thereof or similar variations. Since forward-looking
statements address future events and conditions, by their very
nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties such as the
risk that the closing may not occur for any reason. Actual results
in each case could differ materially from those currently
anticipated in such statements due to factors such as: (i) adverse
market conditions and (ii) the need for additional financing.
Except as required by law, Bitcoin Well does not intend to update
any changes to such statements.
Investors are cautioned that, except as
disclosed in the filing statement prepared in connection with the
RTO, any information released or received with respect to the
transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be
relied upon.
The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the
merits of the RTO and has neither approved nor disapproved the
contents of this press release.
1 Due to the restriction under applicable corporate law relating
to the number of new board members that can be appointed to the
Board of the Resulting Issuer on closing of the Qualifying
Transaction without a meeting of the shareholders, these directors
will assume a board observer role until the first annual general
meeting (AGM) of the Resulting Issuer where all seven directors
will be put forward by the Resulting Issuer for election by the
shareholders. Bitcoin Well Inc. expects to hold the next AGM in
August of 2021.
