Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2018) - Sona Nanotech Inc. (TSXV: SPT) ("Sona" or the "Company") further to the Company's press releases dated September 18, 2017 and March 26, 2018, Sona is pleased to announce that it has completed the amalgamation of its predecessor companies, Stockport Exploration Inc. and Sona Nanotech Ltd. to form "Sona Nanotech Inc." as a federally amalgamated corporation, as more particularly described below under the heading, "The Amalgamation".

Sona has reduced the pricing of the previously private placement of common shares of the Company from $0.40 per share to $0.25 per share. The Company has now completed this private placement of its common shares at $0.25 per share to raise gross proceeds of $2,000,000, by the issuance of 8,000,000 common shares (the "Offering"). In connection with the Offering, the Company has paid $150,000 in finder's fees and issued finder's share purchase warrants to Numus Capital Corp., a private company controlled by a director and consultant to Sona, for the right to purchase up to 600,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share until September 27, 2020. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by Sona to fund its business development and for general working capital.

Overview of Sona

Sona is a nano technology life sciences firm that has developed two proprietary methods for the manufacture of rod shaped gold nanoparticles. The principal business carried out and intended to be continued by Sona is the research and development of its proprietary technology for use in multiplex diagonostic testing platforms that will improve performance over existing tests in the market.

Sona's gold nanorod particles are CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium) free, eliminating the toxicity risks associated with the use of other gold nanorod technologies in medical applications. It is expected that Sona's gold nano technologies may be adapted for use in applications, as a safe and effective delivery system for multiple medical treatments, pending the approval of various regulatory boards including Health Canada and the FDA.

The Amalgamation

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation, every four (4) common shares of Stockport were exchanged for one (1) common share of Sona (the "Sona Shares"); and every 1.5802 common shares of Sona Nanotech Ltd. were exchanged for one (1) Sona Share. The amalgamation was completed on August 8, 2018.

The Company voluntarily delisted its common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange on August 7, 2018, and proposes to file an application for listing its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The Company received conditional approval for the CSE listing on July 27, 2018, and listing on the CSE is subject to the Company fulfilling all listing requirements.
