CALGARY, March 12, 2021 - With reference to its prior news release dated February 10, 2021, Saint Jean Carbon Inc. ("Saint Jean" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SJL) is pleased to announce that it is close to signing a definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") dated March 9, 2021 with 2 arm's length vendors to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solid Ultrabattery Inc.

The proposed arm's length Acquisition remains subject to the approval of the TSX-V.
The trading in the Common Shares of Saint Jean is currently halted and will remain halted until such time as the Company is provides the supporting documentation required by the TSX-V concerning the proposed Acquisition and the TSX-V is satisfied with its review of the same. The Company intends to submit the Agreement and supporting documentation required by the TSX-V for review as soon as possible. Saint Jean Carbon remains committed to the development of solid electrolyte rechargeable energy storage systems and will provide a further update on the Acquisition once the TSX-V has completed its initial review of the documentation.
