("Global").

The acquisition price for the remaining 20% of the equity in EduGlobal was C$250,000 (US$186,131). On January 15, 2022, Highrim acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of EduGlobal from Global for C$1.0 million (US$0.8 million) and the assumption of up to C$200,000 (US$160,000) in liabilities. The acquisition of the 20% of the remaining equity in EduGlobal results in the college being 100% owned by Highrim.

"The consolidation of our ownership in EduGlobal College further underscores our international expansion strategy as well as our commitment to the Canadian markets," said Jianbo Zhang, Chairman and CEO. "EduGlobal College's distinctive educational English language proficiency programs draw top students who are seeking bachelor and post-graduate degrees. Further, we provide a seamless pathway for our students to attain undergraduate university and graduate degrees."

"We are excited to bring EduGlobal College fully under the EpicQuest Education umbrella and believe that the college will benefit from the synergies generated by our other educational operations, with the college having significant potential for long-term growth," CEO Jianbo Zhang concluded.

EpicQuest Education is committed to a strategic growth plan of international expansion. As was previously announced, EduGlobal was approved for Education Quality Assurance (EQA) designation in British Columbia which allows it to host international students on study permits and allows the college to participate in overseas recruitment and partnership events organized by the federal Department of Global Affairs Canada. This designation bolsters our mission to attract a diverse student body from China, India, LATAM, the ASEAN countries and other regions and internationalize the EduGlobal campus.

In addition, with the EQA designation as a requisite, EduGlobal was placed on the Designated Learning Institution (DLI) list, which is maintained by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Institutions on the DLI list may host international students on study permits which allows an international student to participate in a program of study in Canada that is longer than six months. The EQA designation and DLI listing are important designations that support EduGlobal's international expansion and further enhances its image and reputation to successfully recruit international students.
