/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS./

TORONTO, July 12, 2018 /CNW/ - Revelstoke Equity Inc. (TSXV: REQ.H) (the "Corporation" or "Revelstoke") announces that, further to the Corporation's press release dated January 31, 2018 (the "Previous Press Release"), Revelstoke is pleased to provide more information in respect of the proposed transaction pursuant to which Revelstoke and Zonetail Inc. ("Zonetail") are expected to combine their business operations (the "Transaction"). Zonetail is a company which specializes in a mobile technology platform of local mobile content which, using a cloud-based content management system, connects user with their location and surroundings, as described in more detail in the Previous Press Release. Upon completion of the Transaction, the combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue to carry on the business of Zonetail.

Proposed Subscription Receipt Financing

As a condition to the Transaction, Zonetail is required to complete a private placement financing (the "Private Placement") which is currently scheduled to close on July 13, 2018 for gross proceeds of $2,003,416.56. The Private Placement is an offering of subscription receipts of Zonetail ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.18 per Subscription Receipt (the "Private Placement Price"). Each Subscription Receipt issued in connection with the Private Placement will be automatically exchanged immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction (without any further action by the holder of such Subscription Receipt and for no further payment) for common shares of Zonetail ("Zonetail Shares"), each of which shall be exchangeable into one common share (a "Resulting Issuer Share") of the Resulting Issuer, upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). The Subscription Receipts will be governed by a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be dated the date of closing of the Private Placement (the "Closing Date") between Zonetail, Gravitas Securities Inc. ("Gravitas"), as lead agent for the Private Placement, and TSX Trust Company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), as registrar and transfer agent for the Subscription Receipts and as escrow agent to receive the proceeds of the Private Placement. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for the initial development of Zonetail's blockchain application technology, sales and marketing efforts, and general working capital and corporate purposes

Revelstoke and Zonetail executed an engagement letter dated January 18, 2018 with Gravitas and Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord"), which is expected to terminate and be superseded by an agency agreement to be entered on the Closing Date with Gravitas, Canaccord and Beacon Securities Limited (the "Agents"), as co-lead agents in connection with the Private Placement. Under the terms of the Agency Agreement, the Agents will be appointed to act as agents in connection with the Private Placement on a "best efforts" basis. In connection with the Private Placement, the Agents will be entitled to a cash commission (the "Commission") of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds placed under the Private Placement payable in cash, other than certain subscriptions in the amount of: (i) $444,999.96, for which the Commission will be reduced to 6%; (ii) $250,000, in respect of which no Commission will be payable. 25% of the Commission will be paid to the Agents at closing of the Private Placement and the remaining 75% shall be paid to the Agents by the Subscription Receipt Agent from the funds held in escrow on the date that the Escrow Release Conditions set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement are satisfied (the "Escrow Release Date"). The Agents will also be granted warrants by Zonetail ("Agents' Warrants") to acquire that number of Zonetail Shares equal to 8% of the total number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Private Placement, other than certain subscriptions in the amount of: (i) $444,999.96, for which the percentage of Agents' Warrants issued will be reduced to 6%; (ii) $250,000, in respect of which no Agents' Warrants are payable. Each Agents' Warrant will be exercisable at the Private Placement Price per Zonetail Share (or if exercised after closing of the Transaction, per Resulting Issuer Share), from the Closing Date and for a period of 24 months from the Escrow Release Date. In consideration of the Agents' services in connection with the coordination and review of the Private Placement, Zonetail will issue to the Agents 222,602 Zonetail Shares which is equal to 2% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts to be issued pursuant to the Offering. In addition to the foregoing compensation, Zonetail will also pay to the Agents a fee equal to $8,000 plus applicable tax; and (ii) issue to the Agents, 44,445 warrants (the "Work Fee Warrants"), as a work fee. Each Work Fee Warrant is exercisable on the same terms as the Agents' Warrants.

The Agents have also been granted the option to acquire up to an additional 15% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Private Placement, exercisable in whole or in part at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the closing date of the Private Placement, on the same terms as the Subscription Receipts sold under the Private Placement.

The closing of the Private Placement is conditional upon, among other things, the completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Agents, the receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, and the execution of the Agency Agreement.

It is expected that the structure of the Transaction will be finalized in a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") entered into between the parties. Subject to finalization of the Definitive Agreement and based on the capitalization , it is currently anticipated that Revelstoke will satisfy the transaction price for the Zonetail Shares by issuing in the aggregate 57,584,711 Resulting Issuer Shares to the holders of Zonetail Shares at a deemed price of $0.18 per Resulting Issuer Share for aggregate consideration of $10,365,247.98.

The Transaction is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the Exchange, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Definitive Agreement and the Transaction by the board directors of each of Revelstoke and Zonetail and completion of due diligence investigations to the satisfaction of each of Revelstoke and Zonetail, as well as the conditions described below. The Transaction will be carried out by parties dealing at arm's length to one another and therefore will not be considered to be a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction", as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange.
