Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 28, 2023) - Timeless Capital Corp. (TSXV: TLC.P) ("Timeless" or the "Corporation") and Renaissance BioScience Corp. ("Renaissance") are pleased to announce the proposed terms of a brokered private placement targeting gross proceeds of a minimum of $3,600,000 and up to $5,000,000 of units of Renaissance ("Units"), with the ability to increase the offering to such amount as may be agreed to by Renaissance and the Lead Agent, to be completed in connection with and as a condition to the proposed business combination of Timeless and Renaissance (the "Transaction"), which Transaction is intended to constitute Timeless' Qualifying Transaction, as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV" or the "Exchange"). For further details relating to the Transaction, please refer to the Corporation's news release dated January 25, 2023.

Renaissance has entered into an engagement letter (the "Engagement Letter") with iA Private Wealth Inc. (the "Lead Agent") as lead agent and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents") in connection with a brokered private placement offering at a price of $0.45 per Unit to raise, on a best efforts basis, targeting gross proceeds of $5,000,000, subject to a minimum of $3,600,000 and the ability to increase the offering beyond $5,000,000 to such amount as may be agreed to by Renaissance and the Lead Agent (the "Offering"). Renaissance has also granted the Lead Agent an option to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 15%, exercisable prior to the closing of the Offering. Each Unit (after giving effect to a three for one Renaissance share split) entitles the holder to one common share of Renaissance and one common share purchase warrant of Renaissance exercisable at a price of $0.65 per share for a term of 24 months. Each Renaissance common share and warrant issued pursuant to the Offering will be exchanged for one common share and one warrant of the Corporation (after giving effect to a 2.14:1 Timeless share consolidation) pursuant to the terms of the Transaction. The closing of the Offering is conditional on the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to completion of the Transaction and the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals relating to the Transaction including conditional approval of TSXV.

The Offering will be conducted pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement to be entered into among Renaissance and the Agents. Renaissance has agreed to pay the Agents a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and to issue that number of broker warrants equal to 8% of the number of Units sold under the Offering (each a "Broker Warrant"). Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.45 per Unit for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Transaction. The cash commission and the number of Broker Warrants will be reduced to 4% on proceeds from purchasers on the president's list.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for research and development activities to advance Renaissance's yeast-RNAi production and delivery technology for biopesticides, general corporate and administrative expenses and working capital needs.
