Lynnwood Capital Announces Update on Proposed Transaction With Tantalex Corporation

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Mar 29, 2013) - Lynnwood Capital Inc. ("Lynnwood") (TSX VENTURE:LCI.P), a capital pool company as defined under Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Revised Letter Agreement") dated March 18, 2013 and executed March 20, 2013 for the arm's length acquisition of 100% of the common shares (the "Tantalex Shares") of Tantalex Corporation ("Tantalex"). The Revised Letter Agreement supersedes and replaces the letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") dated May 9, 2012 between Lynnwood and Tantalex, previously announced on May 9, 2012, June 11, 2012, July 9, 2012 and October 4, 2012, which was meant to qualify as Lynnwood's "qualifying transaction" as defined by the TSXV.

About the Proposed Transaction

Consistent with the terms of the Letter Agreement, Lynnwood and Tantalex still intend on combining their businesses by means of a triangular amalgamation (the "Amalgamation"). The Amalgamation will effectively provide for the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Tantalex by Lynnwood indirectly through a wholly owned federally incorporated subsidiary of Lynnwood (the "Amalgamation Entity") in a transaction in which the shareholders of Tantalex will receive shares of Lynnwood (the "Lynnwood Shares") and, if applicable, convertible securities of Lynnwood. As a result of the Amalgamation of Amalgamation Entity and Tantalex (the "Amalgamated Corporation"), Lynnwood will become the sole beneficial owner of all of the outstanding shares of Amalgamated Corporation. The Amalgamation will result in Lynnwood issuing to Tantalex shareholders one Lynnwood Share for each Tantalex Share held, and the convertible securities of Tantalex will be exchanged for convertible securities of Lynnwood on the same terms and conditions attached to such convertible securities prior to the Amalgamation.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revised Letter Agreement and subject to completion of the concurrent Private Placement (defined below), satisfactory due diligence, receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, and other conditions which are typical for a business combination transaction of this type, the proposed acquisition of Tantalex will result in Lynnwood (i) delisting its common shares from the TSXV (the "Delisting") resulting in the cancellation of 3,600,000 Lynnwood Shares pursuant to the policies of the TSXV and resulting in an aggregate of 2,050,000 Lynnwood Shares (assuming no existing convertible securities of Lynnwood are exercised) following completion of the Delisting, (ii) consolidating (the "Consolidation") its securities resulting in an aggregate of approximately (subject to rounding) 1,118,731 Lynnwood Shares (assuming no existing convertible securities of Lynnwood are exercised) following completion of the Consolidation, (iii) seeking approval to list the Lynnwood Shares on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (the "CNSX").

Upon completion of the Delisting and Consolidation, there will be 1,118,731 Lynnwood Shares issued and outstanding and convertible securities (options) exercisable for 405,199 Lynnwood Shares. Currently there are 25,455,880 Tantalex Shares issued and outstanding and convertible securities exercisable for, or convertible into, 13,680,213 Tantalex Shares, not taking into account the Tantalex Shares to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement.

Accordingly, upon closing of the Amalgamation, it is anticipated that Lynnwood will issue an aggregate of 25,455,880 Lynnwood Shares to the shareholders of Tantalex, and up to 15,000,000 Lynnwood Shares to purchasers in connection with the proposed Private Placement. Following completion of the Amalgamation the former shareholders of Tantalex will own approximately 61.23% of the Lynnwood Shares, current shareholders of Lynnwood will hold approximately 2.69% of the Lynnwood Shares and purchasers under the Private Placement will hold approximately 36.08% of the Lynnwood Shares (assuming the Private Placement is fully subscribed). Accordingly, the Amalgamation will constitute a reverse take-over of Lynnwood.

The Amalgamation is an arm's length transaction and therefore is not a related party transaction.

Following completion of the Amalgamation, the Amalgamated Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Lynnwood. The parties also agreed that, subject to Exchange approval, a finder's fee of $65,000 will be payable to Eosphoros Asset Management Incorporated in connection with the Amalgamation.

After giving effect to the Amalgamation, it is expected that Lynnwood will carry on business under the name "Tantalex Resources Inc." (or such other name as may be acceptable to applicable authorities) and the Lynnwood Shares are expected to be listed on the CNSX under a new trading symbol.

Concurrent Private Placement

In conjunction with the Amalgamation, Tantalex expects to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") to raise gross proceeds of a maximum of $3,000,000 (the "Maximum Offering") through the issuance of units (a "Unit") at $0.20 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one Tantalex Share and one warrant (a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Tantalex Share at a price of $0.35 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Amalgamation. Agents/finders will be entitled to a commission of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised as well as agent's options (the "Agent's Options") equal to 8% of the aggregate number of Units purchased. Each Agent's Option will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Tantalex Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per Tantalex Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Amalgamation.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to finance Tantalex's expenditures on its mineral properties and for general working capital.
