Important Message to Shareholders of GrowMax

Board Change is Needed to Save Your Investment

Do Not Accept MASSIVE DILUTION and HAND OVER 50% of GrowMax to a Business that is Worthless

VOTE AGAINST the PrimaSea Acquisition and VOTE FOR the Concerned Shareholder's Board Nominees

September 10, 2018

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Shareholders of GrowMax Resources Corp. ("GrowMax" or the "Corporation") are at a crossroad and you have a great opportunity to implement positive change in the Corporation. I, Kulwant Malhi and BullRun Capital Inc. (the "Concerned Shareholders") are writing to fellow shareholders in GrowMax for your support at the upcoming annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") of GrowMax to be held on September 25, 2018. All of our investments in GrowMax are in peril and WE can stop this together. To do this, vote FOR the new slate of director nominees (the "Concerned Shareholder Nominees") that the Concerned Shareholders have put forward. The independent and qualified Concerned Shareholder Nominees will act in shareholders' best interests and properly steward GrowMax in the right direction.

Time for Change

The current board of directors (the "Current Board") of GrowMax are destroying value and are not serving the best interests of shareholders. This was clearly shown in the Current Board and management's decision to propose a transaction whereby GrowMax would acquire a Corporation that is a money-losing operation (the "PrimaSea Acquisition"). The time has come for real and meaningful change in the oversight and management of our company. 

Under the Current Board, Shareholders have been presented with impeding actions that have stalled the creation of value including

• a lack of growth in GrowMax;
  
  
• a lack of focus and direction;
  
  
• the continuation of excessive payments into the pockets of the Current Board and management; and
  
  
• the proposed highly dilutive and non-profitable PrimaSea Acquisition.

Prior to voting, Shareholders are asked to consider the following:

1.  What has the Current Board and management done for shareholders in the last 5 years?

• Dismal Shareholder Return. The Corporation's total shareholder returns over the last 5 years have been dismal. From a high of $1.83 on January 3, 2014 to a startling $0.10 on the closing of September 7, 2018. This represents a 95% drop over approximately four and a half years.
  
  
• Lack of Proper Focus and Direction. During this time, GrowMax changed strategy when it divested its oil assets in favour of becoming a fertilizer corporation. In connection with this change in strategy, the board has been shuffled so that almost all of the director nominees proposed by GrowMax at the Meeting, are now fertilizer specialists. Fertilizer is essentially all that management's proposed board knows and we believe this is why they continue to stubbornly pursue fertilizer projects regardless of future profitability prospects.
  
  
• Excessive Compensation. Executive compensation is out of line with the Corporation's performance. Share price has declined 95% since it's high point in January 2014, yet executive compensation for the last three years has exceeded $8.4 million. Through this time, the Corporation has failed to advance any projects, with no active operations imminent or permitted, and has failed to generate any revenue from operations.

2.  The Questionable Dilutive and Non-Profitable PrimaSea Acquisition

The PrimaSea Acquisition proposed by management and the Current Board contemplates,

• Hand over 50% of the Corporation to the current shareholders of PrimaSea, the parent Corporation of Fertimar which has negative working capital, negative cash flow and unsustainable levels of debt.
  
  
• Dilutive issuance of 213,925,645 common shares of GrowMax to PrimaSea.
  
  
• Consolidation of the common shares of GrowMax ("Common Share") on the basis of six pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one post-consolidation Common Share.
  
  
• Creation of a controlling shareholder block whereby Management and PrimaSea executives would have over 50% voting control of the GrowMax shares and therefore, reducing the power of minority shareholders' ability to have a say.

Does the above seem fair to GrowMax Shareholders?  It appears management and the Current Board are acting in the best interests of themselves instead of ALL shareholders of GrowMax.

Below is additional alarming information that brings into question the merits of the PrimaSea Acquisition, and the judgment of the Current Board and Management.

The PrimaSea Acquisition Will Destroy Value for GrowMax Shareholders. Fertimar is the wholly owned subsidiary of PrimaSea, and its business plan for 2018 and 2019 fiscal years call for an expenditure of R$12.34 million. This means that GrowMax's $32.5M treasury will be used to fund loss-making operations over the next 2 years at minimum. The management information circular fails to articulate how Fertimar will miraculously cease losing money while simultaneously increasing production 5-fold. On December 31, 2017, Fertimar reclassified almost R$2.93 million of non-current debt to current, as Fertimar was not in compliance with certain covenants. If the PrimaSea Acquisition is approved, GrowMax will inherit PrimaSea's substantial debt and the Corporation's treasury will be raided to pay down all the debt PrimaSea has accrued.

NEGATIVE Working Capital and NEGATIVE Operating Income. Fertimar currently has a negative working capital of R$7,276,917 and R$14.66 million in debt. The PrimaSea Acquisition values Fertimar at $0.77 per common share, three times the price of the last debt conversion in 2017 which is the last known price of Fertimar shares. 

The GrowMax Board Does Not Have Shareholders' Best Interests In Mind. The Current Board and management have positioned themselves to personally benefit, regardless of the outcome with their inflated salaries, new equity incentive plans and outrageous termination clauses.

GrowMax's Questionable Financial Advice and Approval Process. The Current Board has placed great emphasis on the financial advice from Bordeaux Capital in its decision to proceed with the PrimaSea Acquisition. However, they failed to disclose that the founder of Bordeaux Capital had extensive and deep relationships with certain GrowMax directors during his tenure at Mackie Research Corporation. Additionally, GrowMax's timeline of events provides evidence that Bordeaux Capital was influenced by financial motivations to ensure the acquisition went ahead.

• June 2, 2014 - Principal of Bordeaux Capital raises funds for GrowMax while at another investment house.
• Sep 13^th, 2017 - Bordeaux Capital engaged to provide M&A advisory services.
• July 19^th, 2018 - The agreement was amended for Bordeaux to provide financial advisory services, and "will be paid a fee based upon the successful closing of the Acquisition."
• July 23^rd, 2018 - Bordeaux Capital was engaged by the Board to "prepare and provide its opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view, of the exchange basis for the Acquisition."

As a result, Bordeaux Capital will be paid fees estimated to be approximately $424,000 upon the successful closing of the PrimaSea Acquisition, in addition to the $40,000 received for 18 days of spreadsheet work providing the Bordeaux Opinion. As the courts in Canada have noted opinions based on success fees are intrinsically flawed and of limited weight.
