Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 11, 2022) - Snowy Owl Gold Corp. (CSE: SNOW) (FSE: 84L) ("Snowy Owl" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases dated July 21, 2022 and September 1, 2022, it has entered into a definitive agreement dated October 7, 2022 with Bluecorp Capital Corp. (doing business as Boba Mint ("Boba")), a developer of play-to-earn ("PTE") gaming software focused on the development and monetization of Web 3.0 products and Ethereum blockchain technologies. Snowy Owl proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Boba by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Proposed Transaction is an arm's length transaction.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, Boba will be a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (the "Resulting Issuer"). It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) and will carry on the business of Boba. The Company will be calling an annual and special meeting of shareholders to approve the Proposed Transaction before the end of 2022 and will file a notice of meeting and information circular as soon as practicable. A subsequent announcement will confirm the date for the meeting.

Summary of the Proposed Transaction

As previously disclosed on July 21, 2022, Boba is a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia. Boba currently has (i) 163,787,000 common shares issued and outstanding; (ii) 24,250,000 common share purchase warrants issued to various consultants; and (iii) 1,609,000 common share purchase warrants issued to finders and brokers.

Consideration for the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied through the issuance to the shareholders of Boba of an aggregate of 163,787,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share (the "Consideration Shares"), subject to all necessary regulatory and securityholder approvals. The Consideration Shares will be subject to the escrow requirements of the CSE. It is expected that Boba shareholders will hold an aggregate of 82% of the shares of the Company following closing of the Proposed Transaction, with shareholders of Snowy Owl holding the remaining 18%.

Since the Proposed Transaction will be a change of business under the rules of the CSE, effective on the closing date, the Company will amend its articles of incorporation to change its corporate name to "Boba Mint Holdings Ltd.", or such other name that is acceptable to the board of the Resulting Issuer, subject to the approval of the CSE and the shareholders of the Company.

It is expected that, subject to and upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, each of the current officers of the Company will step down from their respective positions and leadership of the Resulting Issuer will transition to a new management team which will be led by Michael Zon as Chief Executive Officer. In addition, it is expected that Messrs. Ming Jang, Brad Cotton and Alex Ianovski will be appointed CFO, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Technology Officer of the Resulting Issuer, respectively.
