Corporate Updates

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR

DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

SOLEIL CAPITAL AND GOLDPLAY EXPLORATION ANNOUNCE OVER-SUBSCRIPTION OF FINANCING

AND PROVIDE UPDATED DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE RESULTING ISSUER

February 22, 2018, Calgary, Alberta: Soleil Capital Corp. (TSX.V: SOLE.P - the “Company” or “Soleil”),

a capital pool company (a “ CPC”), is pleased to provide an update on the over -subscribed financing

(the “ Goldplay Financing ”) that was required to be completed by Goldplay Exploration Ltd.

(“Goldplay”) in connection with the previously announced amalgamation of Soleil and Goldplay (the

“Amalgamation”). This news release also updates and amends inf ormation contained in the joint

information circular (the “ Circular”) of Soleil and Goldplay dated January 10, 2018. A copy of the

Circular is available under Soleil’s profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

Over-Subscribed Goldplay Financing

The Company had previously anticipated (see September 21, 2017 and November 20, 2017 press

releases and reference to the “Concurrent Brokered Financing” in the Circular) that Goldplay would

close the Goldplay Financing for maximum gross proceeds of up to $1.5 million through the issuance

of up to 5,000,000 subscription receipts (the “ Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.30 per

Subscription Receipt (the “ Offering Price”). As a result of significant interest received by Goldplay,

Soleil and Goldplay agreed to close on the over -subscribed amount of 7,501,239 Subscription

Receipts at the Offering Price for gross proceeds of approximately $2.25 million. The Goldplay

Financing was completed on February 16, 2018 and funds are being held in escrow by TSX Trust

Company, as subscription receipt agent, pending completion of the Amalgamation. On the closing

date of the Amalgamation, the subscription funds, less commissions payable thereon, will be

released to Goldplay.

Immediately prior to the Amalgamation being effected, each Subscription Receipt will automatically

convert, at no additional cost to the holder, to one post -consolidation share in the capital of

Goldplay, which will then be exchanged for a common share (each a “ Resulting Issuer Share”) in the

capital of the Resulting Issuer (as defined in TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange”) Policy 2.4) on a

1:1 basis at the effective time of the Amalgamation.

In conjunction with the closing of the Goldplay Financing, Goldplay is sued an aggregate of 41,066

compensation warrants (the “ Compensation Warrants”) and paid M Partners Inc.’s (the “ Agent”)

out-of-pocket expenses (including legal + taxes) of $34,115.73. On the effective date of the

Amalgamation, Goldplay will also pay cash commissions totaling $15,271.99 to or at the direction of

the Agent. Each Compensation Warrant will ultimately entitle the holder to acquire one Resulting

Issuer Share at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 2 years following the date of issuance. The

Compensation Warrant Certificates are being held in escrow by the Agent’s lawyer and will be

released to the Agent on the closing date of the Amalgamation.

Non-Brokered Financing with Strategic Investors

Within 30 days following the completion of th e Amalgamation, the Resulting Issuer anticipates

completing an additional non-brokered private placement (the “Strategic Financing”)(referred to as

the “Concurrent Non-Brokered Financing” in the Circular) of up to 3,333,334 Resulting Issuer Shares

2

at the O ffering Price to arm’s length strategic investors and their associates and affiliates for

additional gross proceeds of up to $1 million.

It is expected that the proceeds of the Goldplay Financing and the Strategic Financing will be used to

fund the costs associated with completing the Amalgamation, exploration on the Resulting Issuer’s

properties, concession taxes due on the Resulting Issuer’s Mexican properties and for general

working capital (see below for further details).

Closing of the Amalgamation

Meetings of the shareholders of Soleil and Goldplay will be held on February 26, 2018 for, among

other things, the purpose of obtaining approval of the Amalgamation. The Company currently

anticipates that the Amalgamation will be completed on March 1, 2018.

The Resulting Issuer

Assuming that no shareholders of Goldplay or Soleil dissent to the Amalgamation, immediately upon

completion of the Amalgamation there will be 29,534,572 Resulting Issuer Shares issued and

outstanding (34,140,600 Resulting Issuer Shares on a fully -diluted basis). Assuming that no

shareholders of Goldplay or Soleil dissent to the Amalgamation, upon completion of the

Amalgamation and the Strategic Financing, there will be approximately 32,867,906 Resulting Issuer

Shares issued and outstanding (37,807,268 Resulting Issuer Shares on a fully-diluted basis), with:

(i) former Soleil shareholders holding 6,200,000 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing 21.0% of

the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the Amalgamation or 18.9% of

the Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the Amalgamation and assuming the Strategic

Financing is fully subscribed;

(ii) former Goldplay shareholders (not including subscribers under the Goldplay Financing or the

Strategic Financing) holding 15,833,333 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing 53.6% of the

outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the Amalgamation o r 48.2% of the

Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the Amalgamation and assuming the Strategic

Financing is fully subscribed;

(iii) subscribers under the Goldplay Financing holding 7,501,239 Resulting Issuer Shares,

representing 25.4% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the

Amalgamation or 22.8% of the Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the Amalgamation

and assuming the Strategic Financing is fully subscribed; and

(iv) the subscribers under the Strategic Financing holding 3, 333,334 Resulting Issuer Shares,

representing 10.1% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares upon completion of the

Amalgamation and assuming the Strategic Financing is fully subscribed.
