Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 19, 2022) - eShippers Management Ltd. (TSXV: EPX.H) ("eShippers" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture ‎Exchange (the "Exchange") for its previously announced proposed ‎reverse take-over transaction (the "RTO") consisting of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of ISON Mining Pte Ltd. ("ISON"), details of which are set forth in eShippers' press releases dated November 19, 2021, September 24, 2021 and May 11, 2021.

In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange, a filing statement in respect of the ‎RTO dated January 17, 2022 (the "Filing Statement") has been filed with the Exchange and applicable Canadian securities regulators. ‎The Filing ‎Statement can be found under eShippers' SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.‎

As previously announced, the Company will undertake a non-brokered private placement of units (the "Concurrent Financing"). The Concurrent Financing has increased in size to 5,900,000 units at a post-consolidation price of $0.35 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,065,000. The Concurrent Financing is expected to be completed concurrently with or immediately prior to the closing of the RTO. Each unit will consist of one common share of eShippers and one-half of one warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to an accelerated expiry provision. In the event that following the closing date of the RTO, the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than $0.70 for any 10 consecutive trading day period, ‎the Resulting Issuer (being the Company following the closing date of the RTO) may, upon providing written notice to the holders of the warrants, accelerate the ‎expiry date of the warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such ‎notice. The Company may pay a cash finder's fee of up to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Concurrent Financing to eligible parties, all in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.

For additional information pertaining to the RTO, please refer to the Company's press releases dated November 19, 2021, September 24, 2021 and May 11, 2021 and the Filing Statement, all of which are available ‎under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.‎

Trading of the common shares of eShippers has been halted and will not resume until completion of the RTO. Final approval of the RTO and the resumption of trading in the ‎Resulting Issuer's shares on the Exchange remains subject to the completing of customary filings ‎required by the policies of the Exchange.‎ The scheduled date for completion of the RTO, once determined, will be announced by the Company in a subsequent press release.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Filing Statement prepared in connection with the RTO, any information released or received with respect to the RTO may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.
