(CSE: SQA) (OTCQB: STNUF) (FSE: 01X) ("Stina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered financing up to $10,000,000 principal amount secured convertible debentures ("Debentures"). The Debentures will mature on the second anniversary of the date of issuance and bear interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum, which shall accrue and be paid on the maturity date. Each Debenture shall be convertible into units ("Units") of the Company at a conversion price of $0.60 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (each, a "Common Share") of the Company and one-half of a Common Share purchase warrant, each whole warrant (each, a "Warrant") will be exercisable to purchase a Common Share at an exercise price of $1.00 for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance.

Under the general security agreement, the Company will agree not to pledge, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets, other than in the normal course, without prior written consent of the holders of the Debentures.

The proceeds of the financing will be used to complete the acquisition of the assets of Gildemeister energy storage GmbH ("Gildemeister"), including its CellCube vanadium redox flow battery ("VRB"), and for working capital purposes.
