NexOptic Technology Corp. (“NexOptic”) (OTCQB: NXOPF) (TSX VENTURE: NXO) (FRANKFURT: E301) (BERLIN: E301) and Spectrum Optix Inc. of Calgary, Canada (“Spectrum,”) and together with NexOptic, (“the Companies”) are pleased to announce that Spectrum has received from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, (“USPTO”) a Notice of Allowance on the first patent application filed by Spectrum Optix directed to its Blade Optics™ lens technology (Application No. 15/222,058 FLAT WEDGE SHAPED LENS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD). Spectrum anticipates the issuance of this patent within 4-8 weeks. Spectrum is also seeking patent protections for the same technology in numerous other key international markets. Additionally, Spectrum has several other pending patent applications.

John Daugela, President of Spectrum Optix and Director of NexOptic, stated:

“Achieving approval on patent applications within the United States can be challenging for technology firms. Securing a patent for Blade Optics™, our platform suite of lens design technologies, is a major step toward implementing our global growth and commercialization strategy. I’m very proud of our team’s efforts as we intend to develop a strong intellectual property portfolio. Lastly, I would like to thank NexOptic shareholders for their continued support.”

Spectrum is continuing with the second phase in its prototype development program for mobile devices, which includes smartphones, as noted in its June 7, 2017 joint news release with NexOptic.

Additional progress announcements relating to the Companies mobile device prototype and overall growth strategy will be made in subsequent news releases.

About NexOptic Technology Corp.

NexOptic is a publicly traded company, which has an option to acquire, in the aggregate, 100% of Spectrum Optix Inc., a private corporation. The Companies are, in essence, working as a single corporation at this time, with their respective CEOs sitting on each other’s boards of directors. Please see NexOptic’s news release dated November 18, 2014 for additional details regarding this relationship.

Spectrum is developing technologies relating to imagery and light concentration applications. Utilizing Blade Optics™, its suite of patent-pending optical technologies, the company aims to increase aperture sizes within given depth constraints of various imaging and non-imaging optical applications.

Spectrum has completed its proof-of-concept digital (“POC”) telescope prototype that utilizes its patent-pending Blade Optics™ technology, other optical elements and electronic components. The prototype is intended to demonstrate the marketable features of Spectrum’s Blade Optics™ technology and its potential to serve as a platform to be used in various optical applications.

Benefits of Blade Optics™ Technology

The Companies believe that Blade Optics™ has the potential to breakdown many of the limitations associated with conventional, curved lens stacks:

• Aperture size: Blade Optics™ may allow the aperture-to-depth ratio to be increased in depth-limited optical devices to permit increased resolution compared to conventional curved optical devices with similar depth.
• Compactness: Decreasing the depth of the lens stack would create the possibility of more compact and practical imaging devices.

NexOptic trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “NXOPF,” on the TSX Venture as “NXO,” on Frankfurt as “E301” and Berlin as “E301.” More information is available at www.nexoptic.com.
