Justify Capital Corp. Enters into Definitive Agreement for Proposed Qualifying Transaction with Everyday People Financial Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 10, 2021) - Justify Capital Corp. (TSXV: JST.P) ("Justify") is pleased to announce, further to its news releases dated May 10, 2021, October 15, 2021 and October 19, 2021, that it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated December 6, 2021 (the "Business Combination Agreement") with Everyday People Financial Inc. ("EP") in connection with the proposed business combination of Justify and EP, which transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") is intended to constitute Justify's "Qualifying Transaction" (within the meaning of Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies ("Policy 2.4") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange")).

Justify and EP will provide further details in respect of the Qualifying Transaction in due course and will make available all information and disclosure required pursuant to Policy 2.4, including all financial information required by the Exchange. In particular, Justify and EP are working diligently on a filing statement for the Qualifying Transaction in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") pursuant to which: (i) EP will amalgamate pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Act") with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Justify to be incorporated for the purposes of the Amalgamation; (ii) all of the outstanding class "A" shares in the capital of EP (each, an "EP Share") will be cancelled and, in consideration therefor, the holders thereof will receive common shares of Justify (each, a "Justify Share") on the basis of one (1) EP Share for one (1) Justify Share (the "Exchange Ratio") at a deemed price of $1.00 per Justify Share; (iii) holders of options and warrants to purchase EP Shares (the "EP Securities") will receive from Justify, options or warrants, as applicable, to purchase the same number of Justify Shares at the same exercise price per share as previously provided for in the former EP Securities, reflecting the Exchange Ratio; and (iv) the amalgamated corporation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Justify. After giving effect to the Amalgamation, the shareholders of EP (the "EP Shareholders") will collectively exercise control over Justify.

Prior to completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is intended that Justify will continue its corporate existence out of the Province of British Columbia and into the Province of Alberta in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the Act (the "Continuance") under the name "Everyday People Financial Corp." or such other name as agreed to by Justify and EP and accepted by the applicable regulatory authorities and reconstitute its board of directors to consist of eight (8) directors (the "Board Reconstitution"). The Continuance and the Board Reconstitution were approved by the shareholders of Justify (the "Justify Shareholders") at the annual and special meeting of Justify Shareholders held on November 24, 2021 (the "Justify Meeting"). As the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" (within the meaning of Policy 2.4 of the Exchange), the Amalgamation does not require approval of the Justify Shareholders.

Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including, but not limited to (i) acceptance by the Exchange and receipt of other applicable regulatory approvals; (ii) receipt of the requisite approval of Justify Shareholders of the Continuance and the Board Reconstitution, such approval having been obtained at the Justify Meeting; and (iii) receipt of the requisite approval of EP Shareholders of the Amalgamation. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Additional terms regarding the Qualifying Transaction were previously disclosed in the news releases of Justify and EP dated May 10, 2021, October 15, 2021 and October 19, 2021, which are available under Justify's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
