Boden, Sweden--(Newsfile Corp. - July 12, 2019) -  Hydro66 Holdings Corp. (CSE: SIX) (OTCQB: HYHDF) ("Hydro66" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement, raising gross proceeds of $1,824,975 through the issuance of 3,649,950 units ("Units") of the Company at a price of C$0.50 per Unit (the "Offering"). Each unit is comprised of one common share (a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.75 until July 12, 2021.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to purchase additional ASIC + GPU equipment to expand the Company's blockchain services operations at its award-winning data centre as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Certain insiders (the "Insiders") of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 1,907,520 Units pursuant to the Offering. The participation by such Insiders in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Such related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related parties nor the consideration being paid by the related parties will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The participants in the Offering and the extent of such participation were not finalized until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering. Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the Offering pursuant to a material change report at least 21 days prior to the completion date.

On closing of the Offering, the Company paid to EMD Financial Inc. (the "Finder") a cash commission of $36,900, equal to 6% of the proceeds raised from subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finder, and issued 73,800 finder warrants (the "Finder Warrants"), equal to 6% of the Units purchased by such subscribers pursuant to the Offering. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Share of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.75 per Share until July 12, 2021.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Furthermore, Hydro66 also announces that they have notified Whinstone US Inc. ("Whinstone") today that they are withdrawing from the current process as they are unable to complete the merger as initially proposed. Hydro66 will continue to pursue further strategic long-term blockchain infrastructure opportunities to enhance and scale its current footprint.

David Rowe, Chairman, said, "Although we were unable to complete the transaction as we initially envisaged, we would like to thank Whinstone for their cooperation and wish them every success in achieving their goals." We will continue to focus on driving revenue from Blockchain and HPC activities in our award-winning Swedish Datacenter and look for further growth opportunities in the sector."
