Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2022) - REX Opportunity Corp.

Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of REX and one (1) common share purchase warrant with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one (1) common share of REX at an exercise price of $0.45 for a period of two years from the date REX's common shares are listed for trading on a recognized Canadian stock exchange, subject to accelerated expiry in the event the common shares trade at a 5-day VWAP at or above $0.60. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day.

Insiders of REX have participated in the Offering by subscribing for 4,355,000 Units. The participation by the insiders in the Offering is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined for the purposes of Multinational Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements pursuant to sections 5.5 (a) (b) and (c) and 5.7(1) (a) and (b) of MI 61-101 as the Corporation is not listed on a specified market, the transaction was a distribution of securities for cash and neither the fair market value of the Units distributed to nor the consideration received from the related parties exceeded 25% of the issuer's market capitalization or $2,500,000. The Corporation did not file a material change report at least 21 days prior to completion of the Offering as the details of the participation by the related party had not been determined at that time, in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner and which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances. Participation by insiders in the Offering was approved by the independent directors of the Corporation.

In connection with the Offering, Jim Boyle, REX's CEO, acquired 8,510,000 common shares (including deemed beneficial ownership) by way of subscription for 4,255,000 Units of the Corporation at a price of $0.25 per Unit, representing an increase of 14% in his holdings.
