Hanstone Capital Corp. Closes First Tranche of Financing

Vancouver, July 21, 2020 - Hanstone Capital Corp. (TSXV: HANS.P) ("Hanstone" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced financing transaction, conducted in conjunction with its "Qualifying Transaction", as defined by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), with Milestone Infrastructure Inc. ("Milestone") (see Hanstone's press releases dated February 24, 2020, March 19, 2020, April 29, 2020 and June 26, 2020).

Under the first tranche of the financing, Hanstone issued an aggregate of 12,603,266 subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt") at a price of $0.18 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $2,268,588. The gross proceeds of the financing (the "Escrowed Funds") have been deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") dated July 20, 2020 between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"). The Escrowed Funds will be released from escrow upon the satisfaction of the "Release Conditions" under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, which are (a) Hanstone obtaining all necessary approvals for the Qualifying Transaction, including shareholder approval and approval from the TSX Venture Exchange; (b) closing the Qualifying Transaction; and (c) Hanstone delivering a release notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before November 30, 2020, the Escrowed Funds will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled. Hanstone has scheduled its annual general and special meeting of shareholders on August 12, 2020 to, among other things, seek shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction.

Upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions and in connection with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, each Subscription Receipt will convert into one Hanstone common share and one common share purchase warrant (each warrant exercisable for an additional Hanstone common share at an exercise price of $0.25 for two years from the date of issuance). The Subscription Receipts, and their underlying securities, are subject to a four month hold period which expires November 21, 2020.

For further details respecting the Qualifying Transaction, the financing, and Hanstone's use of the proceeds from the financing, please refer to the Company's Management Information Circular dated July 14, 2020, which the Company has filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

In connection with closing the first tranche of the financing, Hanstone has agreed to pay aggregate finder's fees of $17,682 and to issue an aggregate of 51,450 non-transferable finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants", each exercisable for one Hanstone common share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.25 per share). The finder's fees will not be paid and the Finder's Warrants will not be issued unless and until the Release Conditions have been satisfied. When issued, the Finder's Warrants and their underlying common shares will be subject to a four month hold period. As a result of the securities they acquired under the financing, the Exchange has deemed that Wayne Skeels and Mary Skeels will be insiders of Hanstone, collectively holding 4,000,000 common shares, which will represent approximately 17.16% of the outstanding shares of Company after giving effect to the Qualifying Transaction and related matters.

Trading of the common shares of Hanstone will remain halted in connection with the dissemination of this news release and will recommence at such time as the Exchange may determine, having regard to the completion of certain requirements pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.4. Further details of the Qualifying Transaction will follow in future news releases.
