Momentous Capital Corp. Announces Closing of Initial Public Offering
Haywood Securities Inc. (the "Agent") acted as the agent for the Offering. The Agent received a cash commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and an option to purchase 230,000 Shares at a price of $0.10 per Share for a period of 24 months from the date of listing of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The Company is a "capital pool company" and intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" under the policies of the Exchange. On April 29, 2021, the Exchange issued a bulletin announcing the listing of the Shares as of market open on May 3, 2021 and immediately halting trading pending completion of closing of the Offering. The Shares will resume trading under the trading symbol "MCC.P" on or about May 5, 2021.
Upon closing of the Offering, Momentous granted 500,000 stock options to its directors and officers which are exercisable within ten years from the date of the grant at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share. As a result of the closing of its initial public offering, Momentous now has 5,300,001 Shares issued and outstanding (3,000,001 of which are subject to escrow restrictions).
Raymond D. Harari, CEO & Director, stated: "Momentous Capital Corp. has an exceptional team of backers and we will meticulously evaluate businesses to find an exciting target company for a qualifying transaction. Momentous intends to provide capital, liquidity and expertise to the target company to bolster its operations and propel it towards long term success."

Forward Looking Information
This news release contains statements about Momentous' expectations regarding the completion of the application for listing, and the commencement of trading, on the Exchange that are forward-looking in nature and, as a result, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, such as final listing approval from the Exchange and statements regarding a potential target company for a qualifying transaction. Although Momentous believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, as Momentous assumes it will be able to fulfill the terms of the conditional listing approval granted by the Exchange and intends to operate its business in accordance with management's statements, undue reliance should not be placed on them as actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include failure to fulfill conditions of listing, inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and inability to find an appropriate target company through which to complete a qualifying transaction. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof, and Momentous undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, except as required by law.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
