Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2025) - Nu E Power Corp. (CSE: NUE) (OTC Pink: NUEPF) (the "Company" or "Nu E") is pleased to announce a binding share purchase agreement with the principal shareholder of Blu Dot Systems Inc. ("Blu Dot") and its concurrent offer to purchase to all of the other shareholders of Blu Dot pursuant to which the Company expects to acquire 100% of Blu Dot in an all-share deal (the "Acquisition").

6.51 common shares of Nu E (the "Nu E Shares") for each one (1) common share of Blu Dot (a "Blu Dot Share") held by the principal shareholder; and
7.04 Nu E Shares for each one (1) Blu Dot Share held by all other Blu Dot shareholders.
Nu E will issue an aggregate 8,500,000 Nu E Shares in connection with the Acquisition. This Acquisition is subject to a number of closing conditions including approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") and is expected to close on or about April 30, 2025.

About Blu Dot
Blu Dot is an OEM product manufacturer in the electrical switchgear Industry which has an annual global market of US$ 92.3 billion, growing at 6.7% per year and expected to reach US$155.3 billion by 2031(1), largely due to expansion in Data Centers, Renewable Energy infrastructure and Electrification Growth.
The ownership has successfully designed, certified and tested several products that are used in industry as well as in the technical construction business and have several large-scale utility solar farm construction projects completed to date
Governance and Shareholder Protections
The Acquisition will be treated as a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as a director and officer of Nu E is also a director, officer and/or shareholder of Blu Dot. The director and officer owns, directly or indirectly, 561,276 Blu Dot Shares and is expect to receive an aggregate of 3,651,383 Nu E Shares pursuant to the Acquisition.
MI 61-101 requires that an issuer obtain approval of a majority of the disinterested shareholders as well as a formal valuation for a transaction that constitutes a related party transaction, absent an exemption from such requirements. Each issuance of Nu E Shares to a related party will be considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101 but it is expected that such transaction will be exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 as the Nu E Shares are not listed on a specified market, and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration of the Nu E Shares issued to the related party will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
