WILLOW BIOSCIENCES INC. ANNOUNCES CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE TO LIST PURSUANT TO THE TSXV SANDBOX
CALGARY, AB, June 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Willow Biosciences Inc. (the " Company") (TSX: WLLW), in connection with its proposed TSXV Sandbox listing, is pleased to announce that it has received conditional acceptance to list its common shares on the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV") as a Tier 2 Investment Issuer under the TSXV Sandbox Program upon closing of the previously announced (a) non-brokered equity private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $30.0 million (the " Private Placement"); (b) appointment of a new management team and new board of directors; (c) name change to "Atlas Energy Corp."; and (d) consolidation (the " Consolidation") of the common shares of the Company (the " Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share for every five (5) pre-Consolidation Common Shares, which are expected to be completed on June 19, 2025 (collectively, the " Transaction"). The TSXV Sandbox is an initiative intended to facilitate listing applications that may not generally satisfy the requirements and guidelines of the TSXV, but due to facts or situations unique to a particular issuer otherwise warrant a listing on the TSXV or an exemption from certain requirements in the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual. The post-Consolidation Common Shares are expected to commence trading under the new name "Atlas Energy Corp." and new symbol "ATLE" on the facilities of the TSXV at market opening on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, and the common shares of Willow Biosciences Inc. will be concurrently delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX").The Company will remain a "reporting issuer" under applicable Canadian securities laws through the listing transition process from the TSX to the TSXV. Shareholder approval is not required under the policies of the TSX to proceed with the transition as the TSXV is an acceptable alternative market. No action is required by shareholders in connection with the transition of the Company's listing to the TSXV. The Company does not currently meet certain of the continued listing requirements of the TSX or the original listing requirements of the TSXV set out in Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements because the Company will have no specific investments at the time of listing on TSXV and will therefore not meet the initial listing requirement of having 50% of its available funds invested in 2 specific investments at the time of listing to meet initial listing requirements for a Tier 2 Investment Issuer. As such, the TSXV has exercised its discretion to waive certain original listing requirements in granting the Company conditional acceptance of listing pursuant to the TSXV Sandbox. The Company will remain listed pursuant to the TSXV Sandbox until the following exit conditions (the " Exit Conditions") are met within 12 months of listing on the TSXV (the " Exit Deadline"): (i) the Company has completed the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $30.0 million; (i) the Company has deployed at least 50% of its available funds following completion of the Private Placement to fund two or more qualifying investments that are satisfactory to the TSXV; (ii) the Company has no outstanding compliance or disclosure issues; and (iii) the Company has made a formal application to the TSXV for an exit review, along with the applicable filing fee, and the TSXV is satisfied the Exit Conditions have been met. If the Company has not satisfied the Exit Conditions by the Exit Deadline, the Company's listing may be transferred from the TSXV to the NEX. So long as the Company remains a TSXV Sandbox issuer, it will also be subject to the following restrictions and disclosure obligations in addition to the TSXV tier 2 continued listing requirements and disclosure obligations pursuant to the policies of theTSXV: (a) any proposed investment is subject to TSXV review and acceptance, including all investments that would otherwise be considered an "Exempt Transaction" as such term is defined in Policy 5.3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions; (b) all the Common Shares and Common Share purchase warrants to be issued to the new management team and new board pursuant to the Private Placement will be held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form of TSXV's Form 5D. The first release from escrow will occur on the date on which the TSXV issues a bulletin confirming the Company has satisfied all the Exit Conditions and accepted the Company's exit from the TSXV Sandbox program (the " Exit Date"). On the Exit Date, upon the Company meeting all TSXV Sandbox listing requirements, the TSXV's Tier 2 escrow release schedule will be retroactively applied to the original listing date of the Company on the TSXV pursuant to the TSXV Sandbox program; (c) the Company may grant equity incentive awards but no such awards may vest, be settled or be exercised, as the case may be, until the Exit Date, or in the case of restricted share units, deferred share units or performance share units, until the later of (i) one year from the date of grant and (ii) the Exit Date; and (d) all continuous disclosure documents of the Company must refer to the Company being listed on the TSXV under the TSXV Sandbox program. The Company has received a waiver from the sponsorship requirements under Policy 2.2 – Sponsorship and Sponsorship Requirements of the TSXV of the TSXV's Corporate Finance Manual. The Company also announces the voting results from its special meeting of shareholders held on June 16, 2025 (the " Meeting"). A total of 55,889,478 Common Shares, representing approximately 37.97% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares were represented at the meeting. The shareholders approved the below matters. The resolutions approving the below matters may be viewed in full in the Company's management information circular dated May 13, 2025. For complete voting results on all matters approved at the Meeting, please see the Company's Report of Voting Results dated June 16, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at The Company Following completion of the Transaction, the recapitalized Company will be an international upstream royalty and streaming company focused on the identification, acquisition, management and monetization of a well-diversified portfolio of international upstream oil and gas royalty and streaming transactions. The Company will also evaluate royalty and streaming opportunities in the North American market should such opportunities become available at similar attractive metrics. Reader Advisories Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, the final acceptance of the TSXV. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in a TSXV Form 2B – Listing Application to be prepared and filed in connection with the Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.

CULICO METALS INC. COMPLETES STRATEGIC COPPER INVESTMENT INTO KHARROUBA COPPER COMPANY INC.
TORONTO, April 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Culico Metals Inc. (TSXV: CLCO) (" Culico", or the " Corporation"), a TSXV Sandbox issuer, is pleased to announce an equity investment of US$3,000,000 (the " Investment") into Kharrouba Copper Company Inc. (" KCC"), a private Canadian company with copper mining and processing operations located near Marrakesh in the Kingdom of Morocco. Culico invested US$3,000,000 in exchange for 30,000,000 common shares of KCC (the " Purchased Shares") at a price of US$0.10 per Purchased Share, representing approximately 8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of KCC (the " KCC Shares"). The Corporation was also granted the right to appoint one member to the board of directors of KCC for so long as the Corporation owns 5% or more of the KCC Shares. The Purchased Shares are subject to a four-month plus one day hold period from the date of issuance, and the Investment is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV"). The Investment is an arm's length transaction. Scott Hand, KCC's controlling shareholder and Executive Chairman, commented: "I am pleased to welcome Culico as a new substantial shareholder of KCC alongside established and well-known mining investors and look forward to benefitting from Culico's insights through participation on the KCC Board. Culico shares KCC's confidence in the growth potential of KCC's producing copper mine in Morocco and enormous exploration potential for copper and cobalt across our mining concessions. I believe KCC is very well positioned to benefit from strong copper demand growth in the coming years." Paul Huet, Chairman of Culico commented: "The opportunity to make a strategic investment into a well-run tightly held producing copper operation with very compelling near-surface exploration opportunities aligns with our vision to scale Culico into a meaningful copper and base metals company. The property in Morocco spans almost 320km 2 with numerous outcropping vein swarms along surface that are currently being exploited by shallow underground mining methods. We view the prospectivity of the property as very high and look forward to working with the KCC team to unlock the tremendous near surface exploration potential while generating cash flow from the current operations. Properties such as KCC's are a rare find in mining friendly jurisdictions and we are encouraged to be part of forming its exploration and operational strategy as key strategic investors. The investment into KCC was made after a review of numerous right-sized investment opportunities for Culico and allows us to deploy our investment capital in a manner that has strong potential to create substantial value for our stakeholders." Culico is currently listed pursuant to the TSXV Sandbox, and will remain so until, among other things, Culico has deployed at least C$4,663,000.00 to at least two qualifying investments that are satisfactory to the TSXV prior to August 14, 2025. Following the completion of the Investment and its investment in Americas Gold and Silver Corporation in November 2024, Culico has now satisfied this condition and has applied to the TSXV for an exit review in respect of its TSXV Sandbox listing. Investors are advised to read the Corporation's news release dated August 14, 2024 for more information regarding the waivers granted in connection with the Corporation's listing, details on the listing conditions imposed on the Corporation, the exit conditions the Corporation must meet in order to exit TSXV Sandbox, and any consequences if the Corporation does not meet these exit conditions. The Corporation also announces that Scott Hand, a director of the Corporation and the controlling shareholder of KCC, resigned from the Corporation's Board of Directors (the " Board") on April 10, 2025, with immediate effect and prior to the Board's consideration of the Investment. The Board's deliberations in respect of the Investment and its determination to proceed with the Investment were made following Mr. Hand's resignation from the Board and without Mr. Hand's involvement. About Kharrouba Copper Company Inc. KCC is a privately owned copper producer operating the KCC mine, located within an emerging copper mineral belt in the Kingdom of Morocco. The Company is led by Scott M. Hand, former CEO of Inco Ltd (sold to Brazil's Vale SA for USD $19 billion in 2006), who is also the founder the company and its largest shareholder. Morocco is a proven mining jurisdiction with a favorable tax regime and stable government. The Company has been in production since 2017, producing a high-quality copper concentrate that is currently sold to European customers. The Company plans to scale production through future exploration at its underexplored and highly prospective land package totaling 319 km 2. The property hosts multiple kilometers of outcropping exposed veins at surface. Information from surface mapping and underground workings have allowed KCC to target highly prospective areas. Follow up drilling is underway at recent discoveries which have seen no modern exploitation of fully intact outcropping vein systems. About Culico Metals Inc. Culico is a company focused on creating value in the mineral exploration, development and production sector. Culico's current assets include a 1% lithium royalty on certain mining interests held by Kali Metals Limited (ASX: KM1) and the right to receive a deferred consideration payment due to the on-sale of the Dumont project. The Dumont project is a large-scale nickel deposit located 25 km west of the town of Amos in the established Abitibi mining camp in the mining-friendly Canadian province of Québec. Culico holds an interest in the net proceeds from a future sale or other monetization event involving the Dumont project.
