Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 20, 2020) - Hunter Oil Corp. (TSXV: HOC) (OTCQX: HOILF) ("Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the Company's previously announced change of business to a Tier 2 Technology Issuer (the "Change of Business"). The Company has also received conditional approval for its previously announced forward-split of the Company's common shares (the "Split") and the change of the Company's name to "Hunter Technology Corp." (the "Name Change").

Pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the Split is being conducted on a "push-out" basis. All shareholders of record on October 26, 2020 will be entitled to participate in the Split. The Company's common shares will trade on a due bill basis from October 23, 2020 to November 2, 2020, being the effective date for the Split, inclusively. A due bill is an entitlement attached to listed securities undergoing a material corporate action, such as a share split. In this instance, the entitlement is to receive the additional common shares issuable as a result of the Split. Any trades that are executed on the TSXV during this period will be flagged to ensure purchasers receive the entitlement to the additional common shares issuable as a result of the Split.

The common shares will begin trading on the TSXV on a Split adjusted basis on November 4, 2020, at which time, the Company's common shares will no longer carry an entitlement to additional common shares. The due bill redemption date will be November 3, 2020. Further, subject to the final approval of the TSXV, the Company intends to complete the Name Change on November 2, 2020 and the common shares are expected to begin trading on the TSXV under the Company's new name, "Hunter Technology Corp.", at the opening of the markets on November 4, 2020.

Following the Name Change, the Company's new CUSIP number will be 445737109 and its new ISIN is CA4457371090. Shareholders are not required to take any action with respect to the Split or the Name Change and are not required to exchange their existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the Company's new name. The Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, will send registered shareholders a Direct Registration System advice (DRS) representing the additional number of shares to be received as a result of the Split.

Further, details on the Change of Business, including the related name change, the Split and financing, are provided in Hunter's press release dated September 14, 2020.

The Company also announces that it has repriced the non-brokered private placement financing of post-Split common shares previously announced on September 14, 2020 in connection with the Change of Business (the "Financing") to better reflect the current market price of the Company's common shares.

The Financing will now consist of 13,333,333 post-Split common shares at a price of issued at a price of $0.15 per post-Split share. All other terms of the Financing, including the gross proceeds of $2,000,000 to be received by the Company, are unchanged. In the event that the Change of Business is not completed by November 3, 2020 the subscriptions shall terminate in accordance with their terms and the gross proceeds of the Financing will be returned to the subscribers. Please refer to the Company's news release dated September 14, 2020 for complete details of the Financing.

Final approval by the TSXV of the Change of Business, the Name Change, the Split and the Financing, and the completion of the Change of Business and the related transactions is subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions specified by the TSXV.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
