Exhibit 99.1
3DIcon Corporation Completes Share Exchange
Agreement with Coretec Industries LLC
Tulsa, OK - October 4, 2016 -
3DIcon Corporation
("3DIcon" or the "Company")(OTC Pink: TDCP),
a developer of 3D volumetric display technologies that are designed to produce 360-degree volumetric high-resolution images, announced
the closing on September 30, 2016 of a share exchange agreement between the Company and Coretec Industries LLC ("Coretec")
signed in May of this year. Coretec is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3DIcon.
"We sought a partner that could not
only bring opportunity for revenue in new and emerging markets, but which could also further the development of our proprietary
3D volumetric display technology, while increasing our patent portfolio" said Victor Keen, CEO of 3DIcon. Adding Coretec
to the Company is a tremendous step forward as it (i) adds a significant portfolio of intellectual property ("IP"),
including valuable patents, (ii) provides significant technological advances to progress the Company's 3D display technology,
and (iii) creates opportunities for near-term revenue.
Combined with patents from 3DIcon for 3D
imaging technology in the United States, Europe, and Japan, the companies have a global portfolio of 35 issued or pending patents
consisting of 11 existing and three pending patents for global IP around silicon-based materials, with an option to acquire the
exclusive license rights to 16 additional patents in the next 18 months. The combined patent portfolio has market-disruptive applications
such as:
●
Battery energy storage
(Lithium-Ion
batteries): Using Coretec's silicon materials and patents, lab results have demonstrated increases in lithium-ion battery
storage capacity by more ten times simultaneously with improvements in recharging and increased cycle life.
●
Solid-state lighting
(LEDs): Using
Coretec's silicon materials and patents, results have demonstrated the ability to produce low cost quantum dots with application
to next generation white-blue wide area illumination devices.
●
Solar energy
: Using Coretec's
silicon materials and patents, thin film solar cells have been produced in the lab on flexible substrates using roll-roll manufacturing
processes that exhibit superior performance and lower cost than competing organic based solar cells.
●
Printable electronics
: Using
Coretec's proprietary materials and patents, printed electronics transistors have been built and tested that exhibit superior
performance than competing organic based transistors.
Moreover, the Company will retain its historical
core technologies, which, when combined with Coretec's technologies, have promising capabilities to progress its commercialization
for applications including: (i) visualize cyber data; (ii) military planning; (iii) medical data imaging; (iv) contraband visualization
for safety and defense screening; (v) 3D printing.
An initial joint development agreement
(JDA) with a manufacturer of (pilot scale) material is nearing completion, which is expected to result in revenues soon after that
agreement is in place. In addition, other discussions are taking place with possible JDA partners in overseas markets.
Pursuant to the share exchange
agreement, the owners of Coretec (the "Coretec Members") transferred all their membership interests in Coretec to the
Company in exchange for the Company's issuance to them of an aggregate 4,411,710 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock. The Members of Coretec now beneficially own approximately 65% of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted
basis.

Tulsa, OK 74136-3416
In order to limit sales
of Company shares in large volumes and the possibility of a resulting decline in share price, the Coretec Members have agreed not
to sell their Company shares for a period of one year under the terms of a "lock-up agreement." Victor Keen, 3DIcon's
CEO and largest Company shareholder, also agreed to the same limitation.
"We are excited to have completed
the share exchange agreement and to officially join 3DIcon and Coretec together", said Simon Calton, Co-Founder and Board
of Directors of Coretec. "We have begun having positive discussions regarding the commercialization of our silicon materials,
and are actively seeking out opportunities for revenue within various verticals in the energy space".
"Coretec sees new commercial opportunities for its silicon-based
technologies and materials, and the opportunity to improve the optical products under development by 3DIcon. By teaming with 3DIcon,
Coretec is in an even stronger position to proceed with the development and commercialization of such technologies and materials
as we now jointly seek to bring new and better products to market", said Dennis Anderson, President and co-founder, Coretec
Industries LLC.
The Company will continue with the OTC
Market listing under the symbol "TDCP".
