(“BTC”), further to the Company’s news releases issued on February 19, 2020 and August 20, 2020.

Update on
Expected
Completion of Qualifying Transaction

The Corporation and BTC continue to work toward the completion of the QT. The Corporation and BTC have filed a complete submission with the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) requesting conditional approval for the QT. Subject to receipt of conditional approval, the Corporation expects to file its filing in connection with the QT on the Corporation’s SEDAR profile (the “Filing Statement”) and proceed toward closing of the QT by December 31, 2020.

As such, the Corporation and BTC have agreed to extend the deadline (as set out in the previously announced Share Purchase Agreement) for completion of the QT from October 31, 2020 until December 31, 2020. The halt in trading of the common shares of the Corporation will remain in place until the completion of the QT. Trading in the Corporation’s common shares may be suspended or delisted at a future date should the parties determine to terminate the QT. It is anticipated that any Exchange approval of the QT will be subject to disinterested shareholder approval with respect to an arranger fee payable to an entity controlled by a current director of the Corporation, as more particularly described in the Filing Statement.

Update on the
Concurrent Financing

BTC has advised that, on October 29, 2020, it successfully completed the minimum offering and closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the “Concurrent Financing”) of subscription receipts of BTC (“Subscription Receipts”) for an aggregate of 1941 Subscription Receipts (3,373,344 Subscription Receipts on a post-consolidation basis), at a deemed price of CAD$1.00 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds in the amount of approximately CAD$3,373,344. BTC will close an additional tranche of the Concurrent Financing prior to closing of the QT which, together with the first tranche, is expected to be CAD$4,000,000, representing the maximum offering amount.

Carosa, Cain, Cohen and Landau.

For information regarding these proposed directors and management of the Resulting Issuer, please refer to the Corporation’s news releases issued on February 19, 2020 and August 20, 2020 and the information to be contained in the Filing Statement when available on SEDAR.

Seattle, WA, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — ReelTime VR/ReelTime Media (OTC:RLTR) CEO Barry Henthorn has provided a letter directed specifically to its current and potential shareholders. The letter can be viewed in its entirety at www.reeltime.com

The letter addresses questions that have been received recently from numerous shareholders regarding ReelTime’s recent announcements and provides specific answers to them so that other shareholders who may have similar questions will be as informed as possible. 

Questions that are addressed include those regarding ReelTime’s recently granted patent, meeting the requirements of the recent NASDAQ application, new productions in progress or negotiations, and continued technology developments. 

Barry Henthorn, CEO, stated: “It is with great pride and anticipation that I am able to address on behalf of ReelTime, those who have the most to gain or lose by our successes or lack thereof, our shareholders. Firstly, I would like to thank all of our current shareholders as well as all who have at one time owned stock in ReelTime throughout its journey and into its future.  Your support and belief in our evolution has been and continues to be instrumental in our ability to accomplish our goals and it is you, our equity partners specifically that I address this letter to.”

In other news:

ReelTime formally submitted an application as a Seasoned Company Seeking to Transfer Equity and/or Debt Securities from Another U.S. Exchange to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market Exchange. The application has been logged in the NASDAQ Listing Center, all applicable fees have been paid, and a listing analyst has been assigned to ReelTime to assist throughout the process. In addition, the request for a new symbol (NASDAQ:RT) to be reserved for ReelTime to trade under once the Company has met all quantitative and qualitative criteria, including certain corporate governance requirements has been approved.

ReelTime’s VR capabilities which were showcased in Inc.

Using ReelTime process and Ubiquiview technology, content can be shot in VR yet made available to major networks and other flat content portals as well. By expanding the number of potential viewers from only those with a VR headset to nearly all widely used formats, traditional monetization via product placement, embedded advertising, pre, and post-roll sponsorships, etc. become possible.

In the future, if an accident occurs, OnStar Insurance policyholders who have an OnStar Safety & Security plan will have added peace of mind knowing that Automatic Crash Response1 can notify an OnStar Emergency-certified Advisor2 who can send for help.

FAIR
OnStar Insurance Services is working with its insurance carrier partners to offer insurance that takes biased judgement out of insurance shopping by focusing on factors within the customer’s control: individual vehicle usage and rewarding smart driving habits that benefit road safety.

PERSONALIZED
OnStar Insurance Services plans to provide customers with personalized vehicle care and promote safer driving habits. With advanced technology and data-backed analyses of driving behavior, OnStar Insurance Services plans to build on the learnings of the OnStar Smart Driver feature to provide proactive recommendations for smarter driving habits so customers can drive more safely and potentially earn discounts.

EASY TO USE
OnStar Insurance Services seeks to create a centralized location for customers’ automotive insurance needs. In the coming years, OnStar will work to provide customers with a seamless insurance shopping experience. With OnStar Insurance Services, convenient online support will be available, and OnStar Insurance Services’ agents will stand ready to help customers with insurance needs.

Starting with Arizona residents, OnStar Insurance Services will initially offer OnStar Insurance to GM employees in Q4 2020, expanding to additional customers, including the general public, in early 2021.
