Mr. Jorge Martinez reports

SHELLRON ANNOUNCES DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT FOR PROPOSED QUALIFYING TRANSACTION WITH SPX MANAGEMENT LTD.

Shellron Capital Ltd. has entered into a binding definitive share exchange agreement dated June 4, 2025, with SPX Management Ltd., in respect of an arm's-length reverse takeover transaction, which is expected to result in securityholders of SPX acquiring all of the voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction and constitute the qualifying transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) of Shellron, as initially disclosed in the press release of Shellron dated April 17, 2025.

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the transaction, Shellron and SPX anticipate that the proposed transaction will be completed no later than Nov. 30, 2025 (as extended from Sept. 30, 2025). There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on the terms proposed above or at all.

Trading in the common shares of Shellron is currently halted in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V and will remain halted until such time as all required documentation in connection with the transaction has been filed with and accepted by the TSX-V and permission to resume trading has been obtained from the TSX-V.

Transaction summary

Pursuant to the transaction, Shellron will issue an aggregate of 10 common shares in the capital of Shellron for each common share in the capital of SPX held, each at a deemed value of 20 cents per Shellron share, including any SPX shares issued pursuant to the concurrent financing (as defined below).

The existing shareholders of SPX are expected to own a majority of the outstanding Shellron shares after completion of the proposed transaction and Shellron will be renamed to such name as determined by SPX.

The proposed transaction is not a non-arm's-length qualifying transaction (as such term is defined in TSX-V Policy 2.4) and it is not currently contemplated that approval by Shellron's shareholders will be required or sought for the proposed transaction or that a shareholder meeting will be required for the proposed transaction. No advances to be made by Shellron are contemplated and no finders' fees are payable in connection with the proposed transaction. Upon the completion of the proposed transaction, it is expected that SPX will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the resulting issuer.

Conditions to closing of the transaction

The definitive agreement provides that the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions as are standard for a transaction of this nature, including, but not limited to: (i) approval from the TSX-V for the transaction and the listing of all applicable securities in connection with the transaction; (ii) receipt of all requisite corporate and shareholder consents and approvals; and (iii) the completion of the previously announced concurrent financing, as described below.

Sponsorship for qualifying transaction

The transaction is subject to the sponsorship requirements of the TSX-V unless an exemption from those requirements is granted. Shellron intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements; however, there can be no assurance that an exemption will be obtained.

Filing statement

In addition, the parties have granted the agent an option to acquire up to an additional number of subscription receipts or SPX shares for gross proceeds of up to 15 per cent of the gross proceeds of the concurrent financing at any time up to two days prior to the final closing of the concurrent financing.

Each subscription receipt will entitle the holder, without payment of any additional consideration and upon satisfaction of escrow release conditions (defined below), to receive one unit of the resulting issuer. Each unit comprises one Shellron share and one-half common share purchase warrant. Each resulting issuer warrant will the holder to acquire a resulting issuer share at an exercise price of 30 cents per resulting issuer share for 36 months after the date the escrow release conditions are satisfied. The expiry date of the resulting issuer warrants may be accelerated by the resulting issuer at any time following the four-month anniversary of the date the escrow release conditions are satisfied and prior to the expiry date of the resulting issuer warrants if the volume-weighted average price of the resulting issuer shares on the TSX-V is greater than 60 cents for any 30 consecutive trading days, at which time the resulting issuer may, within five business days of the acceleration event, accelerate the expiry date of the resulting issuer warrants by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term, whereupon the resulting issuer warrants will expire on the 30th calendar day after the date of such press release.

The aggregate gross proceeds of the subscription receipts, less 50 per cent of the cash commission (as defined below) attributable to the subscription receipts, the reasonable costs and expenses of any agent engaged, and $100,000 to be utilized by Shellron for its expenses, shall be deposited into escrow on the closing of the offering of subscription receipts and shall be released upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent necessary for the completion of the proposed transaction.

In connection with the concurrent financing, the agent will receive a due diligence fee of $50,000 from SPX plus a cash fee equal to 6 per cent of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of subscription receipts and 6 per cent of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of SPX shares, subject to a reduction to 2 per cent for certain purchasers on a president list.

Each compensation warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one resulting issuer share at an exercise price of 20 cents per resulting issuer share for a period of 36 months after the date the escrow release conditions are satisfied. No compensation warrants are issuable in respect of the sale of SPX shares in the concurrent financing. An additional cash fee of $50,000 will be due on the date the escrow release conditions are satisfied.

The advance may become refundable to SPX as an unsecured loan, bearing interest at a rate of 4 per cent per annum and maturing 12 months following the termination of the proposed transaction in the event of a termination of the proposed transaction as a result of a misrepresentation, breach or non-performance of Shellron that is uncured following 30 days of notice.
