Company Limited (" Great Harvest"), Adex's largest shareholder, to extend the maturity of the

mature on December 31 , 201 7. The Loan, of which all US$1,000,000 had been drawn as of

Separately, the Company announces today that it has entered into a new loan agreement with
Great Harvest, effective January 18, 2018 , pursuant to which the Company has obtained, and
Great Harvest has agreed to provide, a new unsecured loan (the “ New Loan”) in the principal
amount of up to US$600,000. The New Loan also bears interest at 8% per annum and the New
Loan agreement also entit les the Company to effect repayment of amounts drawn under the
New Loan at any time prior to maturity, without penalty. The New Loan matures on January 19,
2019. As of March 31, 2018, all US$600,000 available under the New Loan had been drawn by
the Company. A copy of the New Loan agreement may be found on the Company’s SEDAR profile

Great Harvest beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over,
554,468,276 common shares (" Common Shares") of Adex, representing approximately 81.88%
of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Great Harvest is controlled by Yan Kim Po and
Linda Lam Kwan, both directors of the Company, and is a "related party" of the Company within
the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61‐101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As such, the extension to the maturity date of the Loan and the entry
into of the New Loan each constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61‐
101. The Company is relying on an exemption from the minority approval requirement that
applies to related party transactions, which exemption is available to the Company as: (i) the
amended Loan and the New Loan each comprise a loan or credit facility obtained on reasonable
commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the loan or credit facility
were obtained from a person dealing at arm's length with the Company; (ii) neither the amended
Loan nor the New Loan are convertible into equity or voting securities of the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company; and (iii) neither the amended Loan nor the New Loan is repayable as
to principal or interest in equity or voting securities of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company.
The amending agreement extending the maturity date of the Loan and the New Loan agreement
have each been reviewed and approved by a special committee (the " Special Committee")
comprised of members of the Board who are independent of Great Harvest and are not members
2
of management of the Company. Each of Yan Kim Po, Linda Lam Kwan and Henry Wong , a
director of the Company who is associated with Great Harvest, abstained from voting with
respect to the amendment to the Loan and the entry into of the New Loa n. The Special
Committee determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to extend the maturity date
of the Loan, enter into the New Loan and have determined that it is reasonable for the extension
and the New Loan to be effected fewer than 21 days from the date of the announcement thereof.
