TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 16, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES. THIS NEWS RELEASE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Revelstoke Equity Inc. (TSX VENTURE:REQ.P) ("Revelstoke") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent ("LOI") dated September 14, 2015 to enter into a business combination (the "Qualifying Transaction") with Zonetail Inc. ("Zonetail").

Description of Zonetail

Founded in 2013, Zonetail's technology is an anchored local mobile content engine that connects users with their location and surroundings. It is designed to save time and make locations more familiar, social, and rewarding. More than a mobile application, Zonetail's technology platform is a cloud-based content management system ("CMS") and analytics suite. Zonetail was launched with a focus on the hotel vertical, but the platform is being expanded into other verticals where people live, stay, work, or congregate. Zonetail's customers currently also include property managers for large residential condominiums.

Zonetail Inc. was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on March 14, 2013. The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and has an office in Pasadena, California and a satellite technology office in Cambridge, Ontario.

Zonetail has raised approximately C$3,000,000 in equity since its formation, including approximately C$2,300,000 raised in July 2015 at an issue price of C$0.25 per share.

Zonetail currently has 33,252,074 common shares (the "Zonetail Shares") issued and outstanding. Zonetail also has options and warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 742,400 Zonetail Shares.

Since incorporation, Zonetail has used its funds to develop its technology, prove out the concept, sign a number of hotels and advertisers and develop strategic partnerships. To date, Zonetail has signed a substantial number of hotel properties in Canada, U.S.A. and other jurisdictions as well as a substantial number of condominium buildings in Canada. Zonetail is currently in negotiations with a number of large global hotel chains.

Financing

In connection with and as a condition to the Qualifying Transaction, Zonetail intends to complete an equity financing through a private placement of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for minimum gross proceeds of C$2,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). Zonetail has engaged Beacon Securities Limited ("Beacon") to serve as lead agent on a commercially reasonable best-efforts basis in connection with the Private Placement. The issue price per subscription receipt will be determined by Zonetail and Beacon in the context of the market ("Issue Price"). The Subscription Receipts will be sold to "accredited investors" pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under Canadian securities laws. The Subscription Receipts and the underlying Zonetail Shares will be subject to a 4-month hold period in Canada.

At closing of the Private Placement, the gross proceeds from the Private Placement and the Agents' Fee (as defined herein) (collectively, the "Escrowed Funds") shall be placed in escrow with a Canadian trust company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), and invested pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"), to be entered into among Zonetail, Beacon and the Subscription Receipt Agent. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions for the release of the Escrowed Funds to be set forth in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (including confirmation from Zonetail and Revelstoke of the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Qualifying Transaction and receipt of all required stock exchange, regulatory and shareholder approvals for the Qualifying Transaction) (the "Escrow Release Conditions") and prior to the deadline for their release stipulated in the agreement, the Subscription Receipt Agent will release the Escrowed Funds, less the Agents' Fee (as defined herein) and expenses. In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the stipulated deadline, the gross proceeds will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Subscription Receipts shall automatically be deemed to be exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration, for Zonetail Shares upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, which Zonetail Shares shall be forthwith exchanged for Revelstoke Shares pursuant to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Beacon will be paid a cash fee ("Agents' Fee") of 7% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement. Beacon will also be granted a number of compensation options ("Compensation Options") equal to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued to investors in the Private Placement, subject to required regulatory approval. Each Compensation Option will be exercisable for one Zonetail Share or one Revelstoke Share (subject to any necessary adjustment) at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months following satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Revelstoke

Revelstoke is a capital pool company and intends that the acquisition of Zonetail will constitute its Qualifying Transaction as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Shareholders Meeting

Since the Qualifying Transaction is an arm's length transaction under the policies of the Exchange, Revelstoke will not be required to obtain shareholder approval of the transaction.

Terms of the Qualifying Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, completion of the Qualifying Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, including execution of a definitive acquisition or merger agreement, completion of satisfactory due diligence, completion of the Private Placement and receipt of applicable stock exchange, regulatory and shareholder approvals. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

The Qualifying Transaction will be completed by way of either a securities exchange or amalgamation of Zonetail with a new special purpose subsidiary of Revelstoke whereupon the shareholders of Zonetail will receive a number of common shares of Revelstoke ("Revelstoke Shares") for each Zonetail Share based on an exchange ratio to be determined in accordance with the relative valuations of Zonetail Shares and Revelstoke Shares. For the purpose of calculating the share exchange ratio, each Zonetail Share will be valued at the Issue Price under the Private Placement and each Revelstoke Share will be valued at C$0.20. It is not contemplated that Revelstoke will pay any cash or other non-share consideration for Zonetail under the Qualifying Transaction.

Additionally, the Subscription Receipts will be exchanged (without payment of any additional consideration) for Zonetail Shares upon satisfaction of all Escrow Release Conditions and such Zonetail Shares shall be exchanged, under the Qualifying Transaction, for Revelstoke Shares on the same basis as any currently issued and outstanding Zonetail Shares.

Any outstanding options, warrants and similar rights to acquire Zonetail Shares will be exchanged for analogous options, warrants and similar rights to acquire Revelstoke Shares, based on the share exchange ratio and subject to compliance with the policies of the Exchange. These securities will be issued pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements in Canadian and U.S. securities laws, if applicable.

Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction and the Private Placement, Zonetail will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Revelstoke.

Trading of the securities of Revelstoke will be halted until the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

All information in this press release relating to Zonetail is the sole responsibility of Zonetail.
