Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2026) - NL2 Capital Inc. (TSXV: NLII.P) ("NL2" or the "Company"), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that, in connection with its previously announced proposed qualifying transaction involving Talon Energy Services Inc., Basil Fearn (93) Limited and Trinity Roofing Inc. (collectively, the "Talon Group"), the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement in one or more closings of a minimum of 29,166,667 and a maximum of 83,333,333 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.12 per Subscription Receipt for minimum gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million and maximum gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million (the "Concurrent Financing").
The Concurrent Financing is being undertaken in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of the Talon Group, as previously announced by the Company on May 28, 2026, which is expected to constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of NL2 pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV" or the "Exchange") (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Concurrent Financing is subject to acceptance by the Exchange and all other required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing, and the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, will be subject to applicable resale restrictions under applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange.
Subscription Receipts
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, without payment of any additional consideration and without any further action on the part of the holder, one common share of NL2 upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to release of the proceeds of the Concurrent Financing from escrow (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). The conversion of the Subscription Receipts is expected to occur concurrently with, or immediately prior to, completion of the Proposed Transaction, following which the common shares issued upon conversion will be common shares of the resulting issuer arising from the Proposed Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer").
The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing will be deposited in escrow pending satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions. The Escrow Release Conditions will include, among other things, satisfaction or waiver of all material conditions precedent to completion of the Proposed Transaction and receipt of all required approvals of the TSXV.
If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or waived on or before the outside date to be established under the subscription receipt agreement, the escrowed funds, together with any interest earned thereon, will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement.
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing are expected to be used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price payable in connection with the Proposed Transaction, transaction costs, working capital requirements of the Resulting Issuer and, depending upon the total amount raised under the Concurrent Financing, repayment of certain indebtedness of the Talon Group and general corporate purposes.
Finder's Fees
In connection with the Concurrent Financing, and subject to the approval of the TSXV and compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company may pay eligible finders a finder's fee of up to 7% of the gross proceeds raised from subscribers introduced by such finders and issue non-transferable finder warrants (the "Finder Warrants") equal to up to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold to subscribers introduced by such finders.
Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Resulting Issuer at an exercise price of $0.12 per common share for a period of two years following completion of the Proposed Transaction.
In accordance with TSXV policies, no finder's fees or Finder Warrants in connection with the Concurrent Financing will be paid or issued prior to completion of the Proposed Transaction.
Proposed Transaction
As previously announced on May 28, 2026, NL2 has entered into definitive agreements to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Talon Group. The Proposed Transaction is expected to constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of NL2 under TSXV Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies. Completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the conditional approval of the TSXV.
Trading in the common shares of NL2 is currently halted in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and is expected to remain halted until completion of the Proposed Transaction or such earlier time as may be permitted by the TSXV.
