  1. the receipt of conditional approval for listing on the Neo Exchange Inc. (the "NEO Exchange"), a senior Canadian stock exchange based in Toronto;

  3. the mailing of the management information circular to shareholders of Appreciated in connection with the Corporation's annual and special meeting of shareholders scheduled for December 17, 2021 (the "Meeting").

Listing on NEO Exchange

In order to better reflect the size and prospects of the resulting issuer following the Arrangement (the "Resulting Issuer"), Appreciated applied to the NEO Exchange to list the Resulting Issuer's common shares (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") for trading upon closing of the Arrangement. The NEO Exchange has conditionally approved the Arrangement and listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.

Prior to Closing, Appreciated shall apply for the voluntary delisting of the common shares in the capital of Appreciated (the "Appreciated Shares") on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The voluntary delisting on the TSXV is subject to majority of the minority shareholder approval of the shareholders of Appreciated.

If the Arrangement closes, it is expected that the Appreciated Shares will be delisted from the TSXV immediately prior to closing and the Resulting Issuer shares will be listed and posted for trading on NEO under the symbol "AMEN", to occur as soon as practicable following the closing of the Arrangement, which remains subject to shareholder approval.

Approval of Interim Order

The Corporation is also pleased to announce that it has obtained an interim order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia authorizing, among other things, the holding of the Meeting. At the Meeting, among other things, the shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider and vote on a special resolution approving a statutory plan of arrangement whereby, subject to the terms and conditions the Arrangement, Appreciated will acquire all of the ordinary shares in the capital of Trinity (the "Trinity Shares") for aggregate consideration of $50,000,000 to be paid through the issuance of 66,666,667 post-consolidation Appreciated Shares issued at a deemed price per share of $0.75 on a post-consolidation basis.

Reverse Takeover

Further to its press releases dated August 9, 2021 and October 26, 2021, respectively, the Corporation is continuing to proceed towards completion of the Arrangement pursuant to which, among other things, the shareholders of Trinity will complete a reverse takeover of Appreciated.

Subject to all necessary approvals, in connection with the Arrangement, Appreciated will change its name to "Amcomri Entertainment Inc." (the "Name Change") and the Appreciated Shares will be consolidated on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share for every twenty-five (25) pre-consolidation Appreciated Shares (or such other consolidation ratio as the Corporation's board of directors may determine reasonable in connection with the Resulting Issuer's listing on Neo Exchange) (the "Consolidation").

Following the closing of the Arrangement, including the Name Change and the Consolidation, holders of Appreciated Shares who hold uncertificated Appreciated Shares (that is shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as registered holders or beneficial owners, will have their existing book-entry account(s) electronically adjusted by the Corporation's transfer agent or, for beneficial shareholders, by their brokerage firms, banks, trusts, or other nominees that hold in street name for their benefit. Such holders do not need to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation Appreciated Shares for Resulting Issuer Shares. If you hold your Appreciated Shares with such brokerage firm, bank, trust or other nominee, and if you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.

Registered shareholders holding share certificates will be mailed a letter of transmittal advising of the closing of the Arrangement and instructing them to surrender their share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Appreciated Shares for replacement certificates or a direct registration advice representing their Resulting Issuer Shares. Until surrendered for exchange, following the effective date of the Consolidation, each share certificate formerly representing pre-Consolidation Appreciated Shares will be deemed to represent the number of whole Resulting Issuer Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Arrangement.
