RBZ.P Rebel Capital 20 Corporation

Rebel Capital 2.0 Corp. ("Rebel" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent with Alzex BioMedical Inc. ("Alzex") dated September 30, 2019 (the “Letter of Intent”) in respect of a proposed transaction pursuant to which Alzex is expected to acquire Rebel by way of reverse takeover (the “Qualifying Transaction”). It is currently anticipated that the Qualifying Transaction will occur as a share exchange whereby all the issued and outstanding shares of Alzex will be exchanged for shares of Rebel on a one-for-one basis resulting in Alzex becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rebel, the final structure of the Qualifying Transaction being subject to receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice for both Rebel and Alzex. Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the combined entity (the “Resulting Issuer”) will continue to carry on the business of Alzex.

Rebel was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Corporation is a “capital pool company” under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and it is intended that the Qualifying Transaction will constitute the “Qualifying Transaction” of the Corporation, as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange. The Corporation is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.

Alzex was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. It is a collaboration of researchers and leading scientists that have developed an innovative therapeutic approach aimed at treating brain diseases by means of highly selective bio precursor drug (“Prodrugs”).This new class of drugs do not deploy any biological activity before they have crossed the blood-brain barrier (“BBB”), and hence do not induce significant side effects, attributable too many FDA approved Central Nervous System (“CNS”) drugs. By passing through the BBB not only are the side effects contained, prodrugs target specific receptor sites, using lower dosage of the therapeutic compound, and patented precision therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimers and other neurological diseases.  Alzex is headquartered in Vancouver B.C with the research facilities located in Rouen, France.

The Qualifying Transaction will be carried out by parties dealing at arm’s length to one another and therefore will not be considered to be a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction”, as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange. As a result, a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation to approve the Qualifying Transaction is not a condition required to complete the Qualifying Transaction. In connection with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that the Corporation will change its name to “Alzex Biomedical Group Inc.” (the “Name Change”). It is expected that upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will meet the Initial Listing Requirements for a Tier 2 industrial segment issuer under the policies of the Exchange.

Rebel and Alzex will provide further details in respect of the Qualifying Transaction including the summary of financial information, the description of significant assets and the controlling shareholders of Alzex, in due course once available by way of press release.

Proposed Financing

The Letter of Intent contains a condition that prior to the execution of a definitive agreement, subject to the policies of the Exchange, Alzex may complete a financing of up to 10,000,000 units (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $0.25 per unit (the “Alzex Units”).  Each Alzex Unit will consist of one Alzex common share (“Alzex Share”) and one whole purchase warrant, each whole purchase warrant exercisable for one Alzex Share at a price of $0.50 (“Alzex Financing Warrants”). The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general working capital and the Resulting Issuer’s future growth plans.  The total shares, warrants, and other securities issued as part of the Qualifying Transaction is not known at this time and will be provided in a subsequent news release.

1.           The Qualifying TransactionUnder the terms of the Letter of Intent, Rebel and Alzex will negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement incorporating the principal terms of the contemplated Qualifying Transaction set forth herein and, in addition, such other terms and provisions of a more detailed nature as the parties may agree upon.

Subject to any Exchange, regulatory, shareholder, director or other approvals that may be required, the completion of satisfactory due diligence by Rebel and Alzex, and the satisfaction of other conditions contained in the Letter of Intent, it is currently anticipated that the Qualifying Transaction will occur as a reverse takeover of Rebel by Alzex.

Subject to regulatory approval, prior to closing, Rebel shall complete a consolidation of its share capital on a 2:1 basis.

The only securities of Alzex that are issued and outstanding are: 35,919,199 Alzex shares, zero options to purchase Alzex shares, 45,600,000 warrants to purchase Alzex shares issued at $0.05 (the “Performance Warrants”) and 4,016,000 warrants to purchase Alzex shares issued at $0.30 (the “Past Financing Warrants”). Prior to closing, the Performance Warrants shall be consolidated at a ratio of one (1) Alzex share for every five (5) Alzex warrants with an exercise price of $0.25.

On closing any options currently held by the Rebel directors and officers will be cancelled. The Resulting Issuer intends to issue new options to the new directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer, the details of which will be disclosed when finalized. All outstanding warrants and option of Alzex will be exchanged with warrants and options of the Resulting Issuer on a 1:1 basis.
