CALGARY, Alberta, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acceleware® Ltd. ('Acceleware' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: AXE), a leading innovator of cutting-edge radio frequency ('RF') power-to-heat technologies targeting process heat for critical minerals, amine regeneration (for carbon capture and other applications), and enhanced oil production, announces that the Company closed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement of units (the 'Units') that it previously announced on June 30, 2025 (the 'Private Placement') and distributed a total of 7,913,342 Units, at a price of $0.10 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of $791,334.20. It is anticipated that one or more subsequent tranches of the Private Placement will be closed in due course. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a 'Common Share') and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant entitles the holder of the Warrant to acquire one Common Share, at an exercise price of $0.20, which will expire which will expire 24 months from the date of issuance. If the Common Shares trade at a closing price at or greater than $0.30 per Common Share for a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, Acceleware may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof, and in such case, the Warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given by Acceleware. The Common Shares issued in connection with the Private Placement, the Warrants, and any Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period which will expire on December 2, 2025 in accordance with applicable securities legislation. There were no finders' fees or commissions paid in connection with the Private Placement. The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Private Placement to fund a portion of the Company's RF XL 2.0 redeployment plan, to advance commercialization of new RF heating applications, including critical minerals applications and amine regeneration applications including carbon capture, and for general corporate purposes.

Acceleware Announces Agreement for Asset Transfer and New Farmout Opportunity with O'Neill Industries International-Canada Inc.
CALGARY, Alberta, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acceleware® Ltd. ('Acceleware' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: AXE), is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement (the 'Marwayne Agreement') with O'Neill Industries International-Canada Inc. ('O'Neill Canada') that will result in the transfer of certain wells and other assets located in Marwayne, Alberta, related liabilities, licenses and leases from Acceleware to O'Neill Canada, and the termination of the existing farmout and option agreement dated May 19, 2020 between the Company and O'Neill Canada. O'Neill Canada is the Canadian entity of O'Neill Industries, a US based company active in upstream production and oil field services globally. In exchange for the above noted transfers, Acceleware will receive cash payments and a gross overriding royalty ('GORR') on future production from the wells as described below. The Marwayne Agreement sets the stage for renewed collaboration between the Company and O'Neill Canada that includes a commitment to establish a new farmout agreement at Marwayne where Acceleware can drill new RF XL 2.0 compliant test wells in the next five years. 'The Marwayne Agreement is another strategic step intended to rapidly move us from a research and development focus to becoming a cash flow generating enterprise and is one of several strategic steps we are taking to accelerate RF XL 2.0's path to market,' said Geoff Clark, CEO of Acceleware. 'We are pleased to realize near-term cash flow and added value from O'Neill Canada's operations at Marwayne, but also having the optionality to explore future multi-well deployments of RF XL 2.0 at Marwayne provides great opportunity to the Company.' Specific features of the Marwayne Agreement include: Acceleware will transfer its interests in the existing wells, production equipment, leases, and licenses to O'Neill Canada for a combination of cash, assumption by O'Neill Canada of any abandonment and reclamation liabilities associated with the wells and surface lease, and a 5% GORR on future production from the wells for a period of 12 months following commencement of production from the transferred wells. Excluding future royalties, the net balance sheet benefit to Acceleware is estimated to be $460,000. Acceleware retains ownership of all RF XL heating and related equipment at Marwayne, including the Clean Tech Inverter (CTI). The existing farmout agreement between O'Neill Canada and Acceleware is terminated. Acceleware and O'Neill Canada agree to enter into a new farmout agreement within 90 days of entering into the Marwayne Agreement, which will allow Acceleware to redeploy new wells that are suited for RF XL 2.0 at any time over the course of the next 5 years at O'Neill Canada's Marwayne asset. 'We're pleased to have come to this agreement with Acceleware on Marwayne – the asset holds very good value potential and both companies stand to benefit from the arrangement. For over a year, O'Neill Canada has been producing heavy oil at Marwayne, and we plan to grow production volumes through both cold flow and thermal recovery techniques,' said Alexander O'Neill, President of O'Neill Canada. About Acceleware: Acceleware is an advanced electromagnetic (EM) heating company with cutting-edge radio frequency (RF) power-to-heat solutions for large industrial applications.

Acceleware Announces RF XL 2.0
CALGARY, Alberta, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acceleware® Ltd. ('Acceleware' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: AXE), a leading innovator of cutting-edge radio frequency ('RF') power-to-heat technologies targeting process heat for critical minerals, amine regeneration (for carbon capture and other applications), and enhanced oil production, is pleased to announce details of the next generation of RF XL, ('RF XL 2.0') and a new demonstration plan (the 'Demonstration'). 'RF XL', Acceleware's enhanced oil recovery ('EOR') technology that uses RF heating to energize oil formations, is a major innovation that could potentially decarbonize heavy oil and oil sands production effectively and efficiently by materially lowering costs compared to other EOR techniques, increasing the recovery factor, and potentially stimulating investment. The RF XL Marwayne deployment was supported by three major operators and progressed from Technology Readiness Level ('TRL') 4 to TRL 8, with its core technology, the Clean Tech Inverter ('CTI') progressing to TRL 9. This deployment successfully demonstrated RF XL's potential by heating the reservoir and increasing temperatures in the production well while achieving the highest power level and longest continuous run time for any RF based EOR technology. Buoyed by the initial results at Marwayne, and the promise of increased oil production with higher power, Acceleware was encouraged by funders and industry partners to upgrade and improve to next generation RF XL 2.0. Key components of the RF XL 2.0 development process included: Acceleware is currently seeking funding for the RF XL 2.0 Demonstration: a commercial-scale project that builds on work performed to date and could showcase RF XL's ability to enhance recovery in heavy oil reservoirs - particularly in the Lloydminster area - and increase production while decarbonizing. A previously announced non-dilutive grant in the amount of $1.31 million from the Clean Resource Innovation Network has been withdrawn due to timing constraints - eligible costs had to have been incurred between January 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. However, multiple non-dilutive funding calls from both provincial and federal agencies are currently available and are being pursued. Said Acceleware's CEO Geoff Clark, 'Combining the potential to economically produce more oil faster while decarbonizing is a compelling scenario for industry and governments alike. Once proven at commercial scale, RF XL 2.0 could serve to support Canada's ambition to lead as a G7 energy innovator and superpower. We have a bold strategy in place to progress the technology as quickly as possible - we are keen to show the world what RF XL 2.0 can do.'
