Snowy Owl Gold Corp. Provides Update on Boba Mint Transaction and Arranges Financing

Vancouver, Feb. 23, 2023 - Snowy Owl Gold Corp. (CSE: SNOW) (FSE: 84L) ("Snowy Owl" or the "Company") is pleased to provide its shareholders an update with respect to its previously announced (see July 21, 2022 and October 11, 2022 press releases) definitive amalgamation agreement dated October 7, 2022 with Bluecorp Capital Corp. (doing business as Boba Mint ("Boba")), a developer of play-to-earn ("PTE") gaming software focused on the development and monetization of games that integrate Web 3.0 Ethereum blockchain technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). Snowy Owl proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Boba by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Proposed Transaction is an arm's length transaction.


Update on the Proposed Transaction

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, Boba will be a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (the "Resulting Issuer"). It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) and will carry on the business of Boba.

The Company has called an annual general and special meeting of shareholders to approve the Proposed Transaction on March 29, 2023 and will file a notice of meeting and information circular shortly under its issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The meeting materials will be mailed to each of the shareholders who were shareholders of Snowy Owl at the close of business on February 8, 2023, being the record date fixed for the purposes of determining shareholders entitled to receive the notice and vote at the meeting.

Boba is a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia and currently has (i) 167,437,001 common shares issued and outstanding, (ii) 24,250,000 common share purchase warrants issued to various arm's length consultants; and (iii) 1,609,000 common share purchase warrants issued to various arm's length finders and brokers in connection with the previous financings of Boba.

Consideration for the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied through the issuance to the shareholders of Boba of an aggregate of 167,437,001 common shares of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per share (the "Consideration Shares"), subject to all necessary regulatory and securityholder approvals. The Consideration Shares will be subject to the escrow requirements of the CSE. It is expected that Boba shareholders will hold an aggregate of 83.7% of the shares of the Company following closing of the Proposed Transaction, with shareholders of Snowy Owl holding the remaining 16.3%. The parties agreed to amend the amalgamation agreement such that the issue price per Consideration Shares was decreased from $0.10 per share to $0.05, due to market conditions affecting the technology sector and to align with the proposed pricing of the Concurrent Financing (see below). Accordingly, the new value of the Proposed Transaction has been established as $8.4 million.

Since the Proposed Transaction will be a change of business under the rules of the CSE, effective on the closing date, the Company will amend its articles of incorporation to change its corporate name to "Boba Mint Holdings Ltd.", or such other name that is acceptable to the board of the Resulting Issuer, subject to the approval of the CSE and the shareholders of the Company.

It is expected that, subject to and upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, each of the current officers of the Company will step down from their respective positions and leadership of the Resulting Issuer will transition to a new management team, which will be led by Michael Zon as Chief Executive Officer.

In addition, it is expected that Messrs. Carmelo Marrelli, Brad Cotton and Alex Ianovski will be appointed CFO, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Technology Officer of the Resulting Issuer, respectively. In addition, each current director of Snowy Owl, with the exception of Ms. Luticia Miller, will resign and Messrs. Michael Zon, Michael Kron, Allen Spektor and Brad Cotton, the intended nominees of Boba, will be appointed in their place.


Concurrent Financing

Concurrent with the Proposed Transaction, the Company will use it reasonable efforts to effect a non-brokered private placement of up to 20,000,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts"), at a price of $0.05 per Subscription Receipt, for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). There is no minimum amount of the Offering. The net proceeds from the Offering with be used to fund the business of the Resulting Issuer.

The Company may pay finder's fees to registered dealers that assist with the Offering, including EMD Financial Inc., consisting of (i) a cash fee of up to 10% of the gross proceeds raised, (ii) finder warrants entitling the dealer to purchase up to 5% of the total number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Offering, at an exercise price of $0.05, for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the closing date of the Offering and (iii) common shares equal to up to 5% of the total number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Offering.

Pursuant to and in accordance with the subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") and subject to the exceptions described therein, each Subscription Receipt shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon automatic exchange in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, without payment of additional consideration or further act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, one common share in the capital of the Company (each, an "Underlying Share") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, an "Underlying Warrant") upon the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted) of certain escrow release conditions, namely: (a) the consummation of the Proposed Transaction; and (b) the common shares of the Resulting Issuer being conditionally approved for listing on the CSE and the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to such listing, other than the release of the gross proceeds from the Offering. Each Underlying Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.07 per share for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the closing date.

In the event that: (i) the escrow agent does not receive the release notice by the 120th day following the closing date of the Offering (the "Termination Date"), or (ii) if prior to the Termination Date, the Company advises the subscribers or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the escrow release conditions under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the escrow agent will return to each holder of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to their aggregate subscription price plus a pro rata portion of any interest and other income earned on the escrowed proceeds, if any, less applicable withholding taxes, if any, and the corresponding Subscription Receipts will be null and void and of no further effect.


Transaction Conditions

The Resulting Issuer will pay an advisory fee ("Fee") to EMD Financial Inc. by issuing 3,275,000 Resulting Issuer shares, at a deemed issue price per share of $0.05, representing approximately 2% of the value of the Proposed Transaction at closing.

The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the CSE and other applicable regulatory authorities, and the approvals of the shareholders of Snowy Owl and Boba at the respective shareholder meetings.
