Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the acquisition is subject to the completion of certain conditions precedents, including satisfactory due diligence, and any necessary regulatory, stock exchange, third party and shareholder approvals.

Mooncor also announces the closing of the previously announced non-brokered private placement financing pursuant to which Mooncor raised gross proceeds of $456,100 through the issuance of 7,601,665 common share units ("Units") at a price of $0.06 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of Mooncor (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") of Mooncor. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share until October 15, 2016. All securities issued pursuant to the financing will be subject to a four-month hold period.

Three officers and/or directors of Mooncor participated in the Offering for gross proceeds of $180,100, thereby making the Offering a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Offering was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 -101 as neither the fair market value of any common shares issued to or the consideration paid by such person exceeded 25% of Mooncor's market capitalization.
