Share

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2025 / Curve Energy Corp. (the "Company" or "Curve") and Lot 49 Capital Corp. ("Lot 49") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") to combine the two companies (the "Transaction") which will constitute a reverse takeover transaction ("RTO") of Lot 49. The Transaction is structured to facilitate the listing of the combined entity on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

The Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lot 49 ("SubCo"), will amalgamate with Curve. All of the issued and outstanding common shares of SubCo and Curve following the amalgamation will be immediately exchanged for common shares of Lot 49 ("Lot 49 Shares") on a one-for-one basis.

In connection with closing of the Transaction, Lot 49 intends to settle approximately $138,722 of outstanding debt through the issuance of Lot 49 Shares and complete a subscription receipt financing for gross proceeds of approximately $250,000, with such subscription receipts convertible into Lot 49 Shares on closing of the Transaction. After giving effect to the proposed debt settlement and subscription receipt financing, it is anticipated that approximately 2,954,478 Lot 49 Shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Transaction. In addition, Curve intends to close a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to $750,000 prior to closing of the Transaction, such that upon completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that approximately 124,982,673 Lot 49 Shares will be issued to Curve shareholders, giving Curve shareholders ownership of approximately 97.7% of the resulting issuer.

As part of the Transaction, the current board and management team of Lot 49 will be replaced by Curve's existing leadership, ensuring continuity in Curve's strategic vision and operational execution.

"We are excited to take this next step with Lot 49, positioning Curve Energy for growth and innovation in the fuel and refinery technology sector," said Peter Joyce, CEO of Curve. "Our focus remains on advancing proprietary green chemistry solutions that transform the maritime fuel industry while enhancing sustainability across broader fuel markets."

The completion of the Transaction is subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions and receipt of certain necessary regulatory approvals, including acceptance by the TSXV. Further details, including timelines and any required shareholder approvals, will be provided as the Transaction progresses.

About Curve Energy Corp.

Curve Energy Corp. is a technology-driven company pioneering advanced green chemistry solutions for the maritime fuel industry and broader energy markets. The company's patented desulfurization technology upgrades Heavy Fuel Oil (HSFO) by removing sulfur, nitrogen, and vanadium, converting it into Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) under near-ambient conditions. Curve's technology eliminates the need for carbon-intensive SMR hydrogen desulfurization, blended fuels, and scrubbers, which operate by spraying exhaust gases with seawater, causing a reaction with sulfur oxides that forms sulfuric acid, which is then discharged into the ocean.

Curve's flagship product, Benchmark VLSFO Curve - SR™ (Curve's Straight Run), is engineered to meet both current and anticipated regulatory standards. As global emissions and fuel quality requirements become increasingly stringent, Curve's scalable and environmentally responsible solution offers an industry-leading yield rate, delivering a high-efficiency, low-carbon alternative for maritime and industrial fuel applications. Additionally, Curve's process enhances profitability by enabling the use of discounted feedstocks that alternative solutions cannot efficiently process, unlocking new economic advantages for refiners and fuel suppliers.

The Company's proprietary process produces IMO 2020-compliant VLSFO and operates within a closed-loop system, maximizing yield efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Curve's Tank-to-Tank System allows seamless scalability and deployment at ports, terminals, and refineries, requiring minimal infrastructure modifications.

Curve is strategically focused on growth and innovation in refining, industrial fuels, and petrochemicals, with near-term objectives including the development of its first commercial-scale plant. Additionally, the Company is advancing digital refinery optimization, leveraging data-driven solutions to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.

Looking ahead, Curve is positioned to expand into emerging fuel markets, including alternative fuel development, carbon reduction technologies, and advanced refining solutions. As global energy demand evolves, the Company continues to explore new applications, strategic partnerships, and infrastructure deployment opportunities to accelerate sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
