Transaction to form Watershed Commercial Real Estate Corp., a commercial real estate platform

TORONTO , May 26, 2026 /CNW/ - Trillium Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: TCK.P) ("Trillium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated May 25, 2026 (the "Letter of Intent") with SNFLWR Investment Corporation ("Sunflower" and together with Trillium, the "Parties"), a private commercial real estate company incorporated and existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), pursuant to which Trillium proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sunflower in exchange for the issuance of common shares of Trillium, which will result in Sunflower becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trillium (the "Transaction"). The Transaction will result in a reverse take-over of Trillium whereby the existing shareholders of Sunflower will own a majority of the outstanding common shares of Trillium (the "Trillium Shares") and Trillium is expected to be renamed "Watershed Commercial Real Estate Corp.", or such other name as the Parties may determine (the "Resulting Issuer"). Following the completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer, Watershed Commercial Real Estate Corp., will target value-add commercial and industrial assets across Canada. The Resulting Issuer's platform will seek to acquire existing properties below replacement cost, increase net asset value (NAV) through repositioning and leasing, and pursue pre-leased build-to-suit development where new construction pencils.

The Transaction is intended to constitute the Company's "Qualifying Transaction" (as defined in Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies ("Policy 2.4") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV")). The Transaction will not constitute a non-arm's length Qualifying Transaction or a related party transaction pursuant to the policies of the TSXV.

Trading of the Trillium Shares will remain halted in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and will remain halted until such time as all required documentation in connection with the Transaction has been filed and accepted by the TSXV and permission to resume trading is obtained from the TSXV.

All dollar figures stated in this press release are provided in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.

The terms and conditions outlined in the Letter of Intent are expected to be superseded by the Definitive Agreement to be negotiated between the Parties. The Transaction will be structured as a share exchange, amalgamation or other form of business combination based on the advice of the Parties' respective advisors and taking into account various securities, tax, operating and other considerations.

As consideration for the acquisition of all the outstanding common shares of Sunflower ("Sunflower Common Shares"), holders of Sunflower Common Shares will receive an aggregate of 81,000,000 Trillium Shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per Trillium Share.
