Eguana Announces Early Conversion of Series A Preferred Shares and Exercise of 4,000,000 Warrants

Eguana Technologies Inc. (“

Eguana

” or the “

Company

”) (TSX.V:EGT) (OTCQB: EGTYF) announces that, effective as of December 17, 2021, DHCT II Luxembourg SARL (“

DHCT

”), the Company’s largest shareholder, has elected to convert all of the Series A preferred shares (the “

Series A Shares

”) it holds, being 434,860 Series A Shares, into 18,119,167 common shares (the “

Conversion

Shares

”) of the Company (the “

Series A Conversion

”).

In respect of the accretive dividend payable on the Series A Shares, the Company has paid DHCT $500,000 and intends to issue 1,326,986 common shares of the Company (the “Dividend Shares”) to DHCT at a deemed price per share of $0.45, representing yesterday’s closing price of the Company’s common shares, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The Dividend Shares, once issued, will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The Company also announces that DHCT has elected to exercise 4,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant for gross proceeds to the Company of $800,000 (the “Warrant Exercise”).

As a result of DHCT’s status as an insider of the Company, the issuance of the Conversion Shares constitutes, and the issuance of the Dividend Shares will constitute, a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued or to be issued, nor the consideration provided therefore exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization, calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days before the closing of the Series A Conversion since details were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to complete such transactions as soon as possible.

The Conversion Shares acquired by DHCT upon the Series A Conversion, the Dividend Shares to be acquired by DHCT upon conversion of the accretive dividend payable on the Series A Shares and the common shares acquired by DHCT upon the Warrant Exercise, total 23,446,153 common shares, representing approximately 6.0% of the presently issued and outstanding common shares.

Immediately prior to the Series A Conversion and Warrant Exercise, DHCT owned (i) 68,264,012 common shares of Eguana representing approximately 18.45% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Eguana, (ii) 434,860 Series A Shares, representing 100% of the Series A Shares, (iii) 1 Series 8 First Preferred Share of Eguana, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding Series 8 First Preferred Shares of Eguana; and (iv) 4,000,000 Warrants.

Following the Series A Conversion and Warrant Exercise, and following the issuance of the Dividend Shares, DHCT will own (i) 91,710,165 common shares of Eguana representing approximately 23.3% of the presently issued and outstanding common shares of Eguana, and (ii) 1 Series 8 First Preferred Share of Eguana, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding Series 8 First Preferred Shares of Eguana.

DHCT acquired the Conversion Shares and will acquire the Dividend Shares as set out above, and may acquire further common shares of the Company or other securities of the Company, or dispose of its holdings of common shares of the Company or other securities of the Company, both as investment conditions warrant. This news release is being disseminated pursuant to Part 3 of National Instrument 62-103 The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues. A copy of the early warning report that will be filed by DHCT will be available on SEDAR under Eguana’s issuer profile at www.sedar.com and may also be obtained directly from DHCT, whose contact details are below.
