Hunter Technology Announces Completion of Business Review and Private Placement

Zug, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China and Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 16, 2021) - Hunter Technology Corp. (TSXV: HOC) (OTCQB: HOILF) (WKN: A2QEYH) (FSE: RWPM) (ISIN: CA4457371090) ("Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its business review, as well as the initial progress of its commercialisation efforts and non-brokered private placement.

Under the leadership of Interim CEO Alain Fernandez, Hunter successfully completed a review of its strategy across all major business dimensions. The review was conducted to determine how best to leverage the Company's existing IP and market-ready software solutions to reposition it for growth.

The Company has identified and is working with both distribution and commercial partners to support the commercialization of Hunter Marketplace Solutions ("HMS"), a product suite designed for the rapid customisation and launch of digital marketplaces. "Partnerships with industry subject matter experts are a key pillar to the new HMS distribution strategy and we will be looking to enter into a number of strategic partnerships going forward," said Mr. Fernandez.

This new distribution strategy now has the Company actively working with a partner to bring HMS to unserved markets in Africa, with an initial focus on the hydrocarbon sector. This project will serve as a blueprint for further partnerships to target local networks on a global scale. Additionally, Hunter is actively exploring opportunities for close collaboration with industry partners with the intention of expanding the HMS offering and features through the inclusion of third-party blockchain based modules.

To support the implementation of the new commercial strategy and to scale distribution efforts, the Company is pleased to announce that it will be conducting a non-brokered private placement of common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.22 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $700,000 (the "Offering").

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

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
