NANALYSIS ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED BEST EFFORTS PROSPECTUS EXEMPT OFFERING PURSUANT TO THE LISTED ISSUER EXEMPTION AND CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Nanalysis Scientific Corp. has closed its prospectus exempt offering of units and concurrent brokered best-effort prospectus exempt offering of units, as announced on March 6, 2024. A total of 11,111,110 units (the "Units") were issued at a price of $0.45 per Unit for gross proceeds of $4,999,999.50. A total of 8,888,888 Units were issued pursuant to the Offering and 2,222,222 Units were issued pursuant to the Concurrent Offering.

With respect to the Offering, the Company relied on the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption" provided for in Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions. The concurrent brokered "best efforts" prospectus exempt offering of Units was issued by way of private placement subject to a 4-month hold period as set out in the National Instrument 45-102 - Resale of Securities of the Company ("NI 45-102").

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company issued at $0.45 per Unit (each a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each full warrant, a "Warrant" and collectively the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.65 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering, provided that if the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is at least $1.20 per Common Share for a period of ten consecutive trading days (the "Triggering Event"), the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 30 days after the later of: (i) the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the Warrant holders; and (ii) the date of issuance of a press release disclosing the occurrence of the Triggering Event.

The offering was made through a syndicate of agents co-led by Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp., and including ATB Securities Inc. and Leede Jones Gable Inc.

In connection with the Offering, the agents received a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds, with a reduced commission applied to sales made to members of the president's list of 3.5%. Additionally, the agents were granted broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") in an amount equal to 8.0% of the total number of Units issued under the Offering and Concurrent Offering, subject to reduction for president's list sales of 4.0%. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.65 for a period of 24 months following closing. Such cash commission totalled $335,541.47 and such Broker Warrants totalled 852,169. The Broker Warrants are subject to a 4-month hold period as set out in NI 45-102.

The net proceeds of the Offering and Concurrent Offering will be used for expanding the Company's security service business, working capital including repayment of all or a portion of the Company's operating facility and general corporate purposes. Final acceptance by the TSXV of the Offering and Concurrent Offering is subject to the completion of customary post-closing filings.

The Concurrent Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as certain directors of the Company (the "Insiders") subscribed for an aggregate of 80,000 Units for aggregate proceeds of $36,000. The Company relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 with respect to the Insiders participation in the Concurrent Offering as the fair market value of the consideration of the securities issued to the related party did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the participation of the Insiders in the Concurrent Offering at least 21 days before closing of the Concurrent Offering as the participation of the Insiders was not determined at that time.
