('Beta Energy' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the Company has completed an additional tranche closing of a private placement (the 'Private Placement') of 1,500,000 class A preferred shares in the capital of the Company (the 'Preferred Shares') for gross proceeds of $1,875,000.

Each Preferred Share is convertible, without payment of additional consideration, into one common share (a 'Common Share') in the capital of the Company subject to certain conversion dates. Simple interest will accrue at a rate of 10% per annum on the principal value of each outstanding Preferred Share starting from the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, payable to the subscriber in cash annually in arrears as a dividend. Upon conversion of a Preferred Share, the holder will be entitled to receive one Common Share for each Preferred Share so converted and accrued unpaid interest on the Preferred Share, which will be payable in cash or in Common Shares. In the event a Preferred Share is converted in accordance with its terms at any time during the 18-month period following the date of issuance, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to any Common Shares issuable to the holder pursuant to such conversion, one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a 'Warrant').

Each Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share (a 'Warrant Share') at a price of $2.00 per Warrant Share for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance of the Warrant. Proceeds raised from the sale of the Preferred Shares will be used for general working capital and offering expenses. The securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day.
