FluroTech LTD. (TSXV: TEST) (OTCQB: FLURF) (“FluroTech” or the “Company”), a diagnostics technology leader in high output rapid antigen testing for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens, and its wholly owned subsidiary FluroTest Diagnostic Systems Ltd. (“FluroTest”) are pleased to announce that further to FluroTech’s press releases dated February 3, 2021 and March 15, 2021, the Company, FluroTest, and 2330853 Alberta Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Subco”), have completed the previously announced business combination transaction involving a three cornered amalgamation in which FluroTech has acquired all of the shares of FluroTest not currently owned by FluroTech (the “Transaction”).

“We are laser focused on a rigorous clinical trials program that will validate system performance and help pave the way for successful FDA and Health Canada submissions but remain equally committed to achieving scale and commercialization,” said Bill Phelan, CEO, FluroTest. “It’s important that the market understands that we are a unified company with a singular mission to create safe environments through frequent, accurate and inexpensive high-volume point of access testing.”

“Global variants continue to fuel the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and while some parts of the world are making progress in the administration of vaccines, the authoritative consensus is that testing will continue to be mandatory for a return to a more normal everyday life,” added Danny Dalla-Longa, CEO, FluroTech. “Look at the airline industry, for example, and recent comments made by Star Alliance CEO Jeffrey Goh stating that the travel industry cannot depend on just vaccine passports to reopen and needs to consider requiring COVID-19 test results. Testing is one of the simplest preventative measures we have to curb the spread and get industry back on its feet.”

Amalgamation

Pursuant to the terms of the amalgamation agreement dated March 12, 2021 between the Company, FluroTest and Subco, FluroTest Systems Ltd. and Subco amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on May 19, 2021, to form FluroTest under the corporate name “FluroTest Diagnostic Systems Ltd.” The amalgamated entity will carry on the business previously carried on by FluroTest Systems Ltd. as a subsidiary of the Company. The Transaction was approved by FluroTech, as sole shareholder of Subco, and by the unanimous resolution of the shareholders of FluroTest.

Pursuant to the Transaction, FluroTech issued 40,705,361 common shares to the previous shareholders of FluroTest as consideration for the Transaction. Following completion of the Transaction, there were 120,610,542 common shares of FluroTech issued and outstanding.

Concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, William Phelan was appointed to the board of directors of FluroTest.

Bill is a CEO, board director and entrepreneur with over three decades of experience pioneering innovative companies and capitalizing on strategic technology to create disruptive business models based on the Internet, e-commerce, software development and transaction processing technologies. Throughout his career, Bill has held executive level positions at pioneering companies such as FTD, AOL and Bright Hub while also serving on the Board of Paradigm Capital Management, Mechanical Technology Inc. and others.
