Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 21, 2019) - Anchor Capital Corporation (TSXV: ANC.H) ("Anchor" or the "Corporation"), a capital pool company listed on the NEX board (the "NEX") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), and Spyder Vapes Inc. ("Spyder Vapes") are pleased to announce that, further to the Corporation's press releases issued on November 15, 2018 and February 5, 2019 announcing the proposed qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction"), the Company, Spyder Vapes and 11304372 Canada Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) ("AcquisitionCo") have entered into an amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") settling the terms of the Qualifying Transaction. Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that Anchor will be an Industrial Issuer, subject to Exchange approval.

Amalgamation Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, at the effective time of the Amalgamation (the "Effective Time"), Anchor and Spyder will amalgamate (the "Amalgamation"), and Anchor will purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Spyder Vapes (each, a "Spyder Share") on the basis of one (1) common share in the capital of Anchor (each, an "Anchor Share") for each one (1) Spyder Share outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, ten (10) minutes prior to the Effective Time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount on outstanding convertible debentures of Spyder Vapes and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon will automatically convert into Spyder Shares and, if applicable, warrants entitling holders thereof to acquire Spyder Shares ("Spyder Warrants"). In addition, at the Effective Time, all unexercised Spyder Warrants, all unexercised stock options entitling holders thereof to acquire Spyder Shares ("Spyder Options"), and all Spyder Warrants issued to a certain finder in connection with a non-brokered private placement completed by Spyder between November 2018 and December 2018 ("Spyder Finder Warrants"), will cease to represent a right to acquire Spyder Shares and will instead provide the right to acquire Anchor Shares.

The completion of the Amalgamation is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to: (i) obtaining the approval of the Exchange for the Qualifying Transaction; (ii) obtaining the approval of the shareholders of Spyder to the Amalgamation; (iii) there being no prohibition at law against the parties from proceeding with or completing the Amalgamation; and (iv) there being no material adverse change in either Anchor or Spyder Vapes' respective businesses. A copy of the Amalgamation Agreement will be available under Anchor's profile at www.SEDAR.com.
