TORONTO, December 24, 2020 - Flow Capital Corp. (TSXV: FW) ('Flow Capital' or the 'Company') is announcing that Wedge Networks, Inc. ('Wedge') has completed a buyout of Flow Capital's royalty investment for $1,250,000.

'The team at Wedge has developed a compelling solution to address cyber security threats. With the increased dependence on telecommuting, due to the ongoing pandemic, and a global digital cold war, safeguards against such threats have become even more critical. Flow Capital is glad to have participated in their growth, and we wish them well,' said Alex Baluta, CEO of Flow Capital.

'Partnering with Flow has been very important to Wedge. Alex and his team at Flow demonstrated an ability to understand the capabilities of our innovations and to visualize the potential of our solutions. The past twelve months have been nothing like anyone had anticipated. Working with Flow has enabled Wedge to transition through an unforeseeable period of global dislocation, brought on by the global pandemic, and to position itself for growth,' stated Rob Fong, Chief Operating Officer and CFO of Wedge Networks, Inc.

The Company also announces today its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the 'TSXV') to repurchase, for cancellation, up to 2,548,000 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 7.92% of the Company's presently issued and outstanding common shares (the 'NCIB'). The NCIB remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV.

The NCIB will commence on December 30, 2020 and will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Company purchasing 2,548,000 common shares, (ii) the Company providing notice of termination of the NCIB, and (iii) December 29, 2021.

The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares does not adequately reflect the Company's underlying value and future prospects and that, at such times, the purchase of the Company's common shares represents an appropriate use of the Company's financial resources and will enhance shareholder value.

The Company has engaged Hampton Securities Ltd. to act as its broker for the NCIB (the 'Broker'). The NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSXV and the purchase and payment for the common shares, will be made in accordance with TSXV requirements at the market price of the applicable securities at the time of acquisition, plus brokerage fees, if any, charged by the Broker. All securities purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The Company may enter into a pre-defined plan with the Broker to allow for the purchase of securities by the Company under the NCIB at times when it ordinarily would not be active in the market due to internal trading blackout periods.

To the Company's knowledge, none of the directors, senior officers or insiders of the Company, or any associate of such person, or any associate or affiliate of the Company, has any present intention to sell any securities to the Company during the course of the NCIB. The Company completed i) a normal course issuer bid on December 23, 2019, where the Company purchased 1,548,250 common shares at an average price of $0.28505 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $441,334; ii) a normal course issuer bid on August 1, 2019, where the Company purchased 4,334,500 common shares at an average price of $0.126628 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $548,847 and iii) a substantial issuer bid on October 17, 2019, where 5,708,090 common shares at a price of $0.20 per share were purchased by the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,141,618.

A copy of each Form 5G - Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid filed by the Company with the TSXV in respect of the NCIBs can be obtained from the Company upon request without charge.
