Qualifying Transaction

The QT provided for the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of IAT by Water Ways in a transaction in which the shareholders of IAT received common shares of Water Ways (the "Common Shares") and, in case of outstanding convertible securities of IAT, convertible securities of Water Ways. Shareholders of IAT were issued an aggregate of 75,338,152 Common Shares (the "Consideration Shares") based on the deemed value ascribed to IAT as negotiated between Water Ways and IAT of approximately CAD $18.8 million, at a deemed issue price of CAD$0.25, resulting in 2 Consideration Shares for each one IAT share held. As a result of the QT, Water Ways became the sole beneficial owner of all of the outstanding securities of IAT. Water Ways is the parent company of IAT which will continue its business.

Prior to the QT, Water Ways was a Capital Pool Company (as defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange")) and had not commenced commercial operations and had no assets other than cash. The QT constituted Water Ways' "Qualifying Transaction", as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. In connection with the QT the Company's name was changed from Sagittarius Capital Corporation to Water Ways Technologies Inc. and its shares were consolidated on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every 1.4964285 pre-consolidation shares.

Final acceptance of the QT will occur upon the issuance of a Final Exchange Bulletin by the Exchange. Upon issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin, Water Ways will cease to be a Capital Pool Company and will recommence trading on the Exchange as a Tier 1 issuer. Subject to this final acceptance, trading in the common shares of Water Ways is expected to begin on the Exchange under the symbol "WWT" shortly. A further press release will be issued when the date trading is anticipated to commence is known.

Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

In connection with the QT, Water Ways completed an Offering of 11,272,500 Units for gross proceeds of $2,818,125. Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") of Water Ways at a price of $0.40 per Unit, for a total issuance of 11,272,500 Common Shares and 5,636,250 Warrants. Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at $0.40 per Warrant Share until March 6, 2021. If the closing price of the Common Shares on the Exchange is equal to or greater than $0.75 for any 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may, upon providing written notice to the holders of the Warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such written notice.

The Offering was conducted by Leede Jones Gable Inc. ("Leede") as lead agent and sole bookrunner. As consideration for acting as agent for the Offering, Leede received: (i) a cash commission of $225,450; (ii) a corporate finance fee of $40,000; and (iii) 901,800 non-transferable broker warrants (each, a "Broker Warrant"). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to one Common Share at a price of $0.50 until March 6, 2021.

Immediately prior to the closing of the QT, IAT completed a non-brokered Concurrent Private Placement of IAT Units raising gross proceeds of $291,445.38. Each IAT Unit was issued at a price of $0.50 and was comprised of one ordinary share in the capital of IAT and one-half of one ordinary share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitled the holder thereof to acquire one ordinary share at a price of $0.80 per share until March 5, 2021. The securities issued in connection with this private placement were converted into Common Shares and warrants of Water Ways, respectively, in connection with the QT with such conversion being completed on the same two to one exchange ratio referenced above.

As a result of the QT and the Offering, Water Ways has 89,410,652 Common Shares issued and outstanding, with 84.3% held by former IAT shareholders (of which 1.3% of the total is attributed to the participants of the Concurrent Private Placement), 3.1% held by shareholders of Water Ways who were shareholders prior to the QT and 12.6% held by purchasers of the Units. In addition there are 11,219,141 common share purchase warrants issued and outstanding, of which 5,636,250 are Warrants held by the participants in Offering, and 5,582,891 are the warrants held by former IAT warrant holders. In addition, there are 1,701,800 broker warrants outstanding, of which 901,800 represents the Broker Warrants and the balance represents the consideration compensation options issued in connection with IAT's previous financings.

Pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among Water Ways, TSX Trust Company and certain escrowed security holders, an aggregate of 60,606,150 Common Shares, 145,872 warrants and 552,714 brokers options have been placed in escrow, which will be released in tranches over the next 18 months, with the first release upon issuance of the Exchange's Final Exchange Bulletin pursuant to the Tier 1 issuer escrow requirements.
