Smartcool Announces Application for Partial Revocation of Cease Trade Order 

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 19, 2021 – Smartcool Systems Inc. (“Smartcool” or the “Company”)  announces that it has applied to the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) for partial  revocation of a Failure to File Cease Trade Order issued by the BCSC on July 17, 2019 (the “FFCTO”). The  FFCTO bars all trading and purchasing of Smartcool’s securities until such time as Smartcool files certain  delinquent records and obtains an order from the BCSC revoking the FFCTO under Section 171 of the  Securities Act (British Columbia) (the “Act”). 

Smartcool is seeking partial revocation of the FFCTO in order to allow it to offer and sell up to 12.5 million common shares to raise funds required to pay accounting, legal, filing and audit fees that  Smartcool anticipates it will incur in preparing and filing the delinquent records, obtaining a full  revocation of the FFCTO and reinstating trading of its shares on NEX. 

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in  the United States. In the event that the BCSC grants the requested partial revocation, the shares that  Smartcool intends to sell will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as  amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within  the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state  securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
