/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 23, 2024 /CNW/ - Eureka Capital Corp. (TSXV : EBCD.P) (the "Eureka") a capital pool company as defined under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies ("CPC") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated August 22, 2024 (the "Definitive Agreement") with Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems Inc. ("Empire"), whereby Eureka's wholly-owned subsidiary, 16299440 Canada Inc. ("Subco"), will amalgamate with Empire (the "Amalgamation") to complete Eureka's qualifying transaction (the "Transaction") in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.

In connection with the Amalgamation, it is intended that Eureka will be renamed as "Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems Inc.", or such other similar name as may be accepted by the relevant regulatory authorities and approved by Empire and Eureka (the "Resulting Issuer"). The Transaction is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals required by applicable corporate law, including the approval of the Exchange, as well as the satisfaction of conditions to closing as set out in the Definitive Agreement. It is intended the Resulting Issuer will continue the business of Empire.

About Empire

Empire is a private company with approximately 240 shareholders, incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and headquartered in Sidney, British Columbia. Empire has 22,405,290 Class A Common Shares issued and outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis. Empire has designed and manufactures the Empire Hydrogen Fuel Enhancement System. This uses electrolysis to split distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen (H₂,O₂) gases, a small amount of which flow through the air intake and into the cylinders of any large diesel engine. Hydrogen burns ten times faster than diesel, resulting in reductions of 10%-25% in fuel consumption, 28% in GHGs, 47% in NOx and 2/3 in diesel particulates.

Founded in 2009, Empire operates from a 3,000 square foot facility that has been designed with the capacity for up to 2,000 units of production per year and an ability to expand if required.

Empire is currently focused on the many millions of large diesel engines operating in the world and has plans to expand into natural gas-powered engines in the near future.

Terms of the Proposed Transaction

The Transaction will be carried out pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, a copy of which is, or shortly will be, filed on Eureka's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The below description of the terms of the Transaction and the Definitive Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Definitive Agreement.

Amalgamation

Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, at the effective time of the Amalgamation, Empire will amalgamate with Subco to form an amalgamated entity ("Amalco"), which will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eureka. In connection with the completion of the Amalgamation, each holder of common shares of Empire ("Empire Shares") shall exchange their Empire Shares for common shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Common Shares") on the basis of 1.2 fully paid and non-assessable Resulting Issuer Common Shares for every one (1) Empire Share held, at a deemed price of approximately $0.25 per Empire Share. The deemed value of each Resulting Issuer Common Share issued to holders of Empire shares under the Transaction is $0.2083 per share.

Shareholder Approval

The Transaction is subject to shareholder approval of Empire, but not to Eureka shareholder approval, to be obtained through a duly called and convened meeting of Empire's shareholders or, in the alternative, by consent resolution. Eureka intends to hold an annual and special meeting of its shareholders (the "Eureka Meeting") on or about November 22, 2024 to approve certain matters relating to the Transaction including, among other matters, the:

• appointment, subject to the completion of the Transaction, of an auditor of Eureka and the authorization of the board of directors of Eureka to fix the remuneration thereof;
• approval of the option plan and restricted share unit plan to be adopted by the Resulting Issuer;
• continuance of Eureka under the Canada Business Corporations Act;
• election of the directors of Eureka to hold office from the effective time of the completion of the Transaction; and
• change in the name of Eureka from "Eureka Capital Corp." to "Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems Inc." or such other name as the board of directors of Eureka deems appropriate (collectively, the foregoing approvals, the "Required Approvals").

Additional details regarding the annual and special meeting of the shareholders of Eureka will be available in a management information circular that is expected to be delivered to shareholders of Eureka. The Amalgamation will be approved by the sole shareholder of Subco by way of a written resolution. The Amalgamation will further require the approval of the shareholders of Empire.

Resulting Issuer Shares

In connection with the proposed Transaction, it is expected that approximately 26,886,348 Resulting Issuer Common Shares will be issued to the holders of Empire Shares (not including Empire Shares issuable upon the conversion of Subscription Receipts (as defined below)) at a deemed price of $0.2083 per share. Based on the number of Empire Shares outstanding as of the date hereof, and assuming the exchange of each Subscription Receipt into underlying securities, it is expected that there would be a maximum of approximately 39,466,348 Resulting Issuer Common Shares outstanding upon completion of the Transaction, on a non-diluted basis. On completion of the Transaction, the current shareholders of Eureka are expected to hold an aggregate of approximately 9,700,000 Resulting Issuer Common Shares, representing approximately 24.58% of the maximum number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares, the current shareholders of Empire would hold an aggregate of approximately 26,886,348 Resulting Issuer Common Shares, representing approximately 68.12% of the maximum number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares, and investors in the Private Placement (as defined below) would hold an aggregate of approximately 2,880,000 Resulting Issuer Common Shares, representing approximately 7.30% of the maximum number of Resulting Issuer Common Shares.

The completion of the Amalgamation is conditional on obtaining all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals in connection with the matters described above and other conditions customary for a transaction of this type. Eureka and Empire anticipate closing the Transaction in November 2024.

Private Placement of Subscription Receipts of Eureka

Prior to the completion of the Transaction, Eureka is expected to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $600,000 and up to 2,400,000 Empire Shares, or such other amount as may be agreed to by Eureka and Empire, of subscription receipts of Empire (the "Subscription Receipts"), at a price of $0.25 per Subscription Receipt.

The Subscription Receipts will be created and issued pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be entered into among Eureka, Empire and Odyssey Trust Company or such other third party as is mutually agreed to by Eureka and Empire, as subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agent").

Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted, without payment of additional consideration or further action by the holder thereof, into one Empire Share, subject to adjustment in certain events, immediately before the completion of the Transaction (each a "Subscription Receipt") upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions (as to be defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement) on or before a date to be mutually agreed upon by Empire and Eureka (the "Escrow Release Deadline"). Each Empire Share issued on conversion of each Subscription Receipt will be exchanged for 1.2 common shares of the Resulting Issuer upon closing of the Transaction at a deemed price of $0.25 per Empire Share.

If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied at or before the Escrow Release Deadline, each of the then issued and outstanding Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the Subscription Receipt Agent will return to each holder of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Subscription Receipts held by such holder plus an amount equal to the holder's pro rata share of any interest or other income earned on the escrowed funds (less applicable withholding tax, if any). To the extent that the escrowed funds are insufficient to refund such amounts to each holder of the Subscription Receipts of Empire, Empire shall be liable for and will contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy the shortfall.

Proceeds of the Private Placement

It is intended that the net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for general working capital purposes following completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Secured Bridge Loan

In connection with the Transaction and pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Eureka will, subject to required regulatory approvals, advance an aggregate of $250,000 to Empire by way of secured loan (the "Bridge Loan") pursuant to a definitive loan agreement and ancillary documentation. The Bridge Loan shall be secured against all present and after-acquired property of Empire. The Bridge Loan will bear interest at a rate of Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) and will mature on the date that is the earlier of (i) six (6) months from the date of the Bridge Loan agreement or (ii) remain as an inter-company loan between Empire and Amalco on closing of the Transaction.

Sponsorship

Under the policies of the Exchange, the parties to the Transaction are required to engage a sponsor for the Transaction unless an exemption or waiver from this requirement can be obtained. Empire and Eureka plan to request a waiver of this requirement by the Exchange.

Resulting Issuer

Immediately following the completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer is expected to change its name to "Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems Inc.", and the Resulting Issuer is expected to be an Technology issuer under the policies of the Exchange.

Conditions to Completion of the Transaction

It is intended that the Transaction, when completed, will constitute Eureka's "Qualifying Transaction" in accordance with Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, (i) acceptance by the Exchange and receipt of other applicable regulatory approvals; (ii) receipt of the Required Approvals at the Eureka Meeting, (iii) receipt of the requisite approval of the shareholders of Empire of the Amalgamation, and (iv) completion of the Private Placement.
