Capstream Announces Proposed Name Change

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 1, 2017) - Capstream Ventures Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CSP), a publicly traded investment company, is pleased to announce that it intends to proceed with a name change to "Axion Ventures Inc." (the "Name Change").

"We are excited to announce this name change in an effort to expand our brand," said John Todd Bonner, CEO and Chairman of the Company. "Since completing our listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") in May 2016, we have:

1. acquired additional interest in one of our assets, Axion Games Limited;
2. closed two private placements for gross proceeds of over $20 million;
3. entered into an agreement to acquire an interest in a company engaged in developing a marketing automation platform for retailers to offer various promotions;
4. graduated to Tier 1 Issuer status from Tier 2 Issuer on the Exchange; and
5. formed a joint venture to establish a video game academy and development studio in Thailand."
   
   

"We continued with the name "Capstream Ventures Inc." after completion of our listing in May 2016; however, we believe the name change will better reflect our portfolio and strategy to build a leading technology investment company."

The Name Change is subject to Exchange approval and the Company will provide further updates regarding the Name Change, including the effective date, the Company's new trading symbol and the Company's new website.
