Star Metro - Temas Announces Closing Of Private Placement And Early Warning Report

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.18 at any time on or before March 24, 2026, provided that if the closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") is equal to or greater than $0.22 for a period of 5 consecutive trading days (the "Triggering Event"), the Company may, within 5 days of the Triggering Event, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by disseminating a press release, and in which case the Warrants will expire on the 10th day after the date on which such press release is disseminated. No commissions or fees were paid in connection with the Concurrent Offering.

Mr. S. Kyler Hardy, a director of the Company, indirectly acquired 4,000,002 Units for a total consideration of $300,000.15. The participation of a director or an insider of the Company, constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has determined that the director's participation in the Concurrent Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Units purchased nor the consideration paid by him exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Concurrent Offering as the participation by the director was not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The private placement was previously approved by the disinterested directors of the Company. No special committee was established in connection with the transaction, and no materially contrary view was expressed or made by any director.

The Units are subject to a 4 month and one day hold period from the date of issue. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Concurrent Offering for general working capital purposes and marketing. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
