Vancouver, B.C., - TheNewswire - October 20, 2022  –  Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (“Solarvest”, or the “Company”) (TSXV:SVS), (“Solarvest” or the “Company”), announces a non-brokered private placement, pursuant to which the Company intends to raise gross proceeds of up to $650,000 through the issuance of up to 6,500,000 Units at a price of $0.10 per Unit.  Each Unit consists of one common share and one whole share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of two (2) years following closing provided that if the closing price of the common shares (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported on a trading day) is greater than $0.40 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry of the warrants. Closing may take place in one or more tranches. In addition to accredited investors, the Private Placement is open to all existing shareholders of the Company subject to certain limitations discussed below.

Subject to regulatory requirements, a portion of the Private Placement may be made in accordance with the provisions of the existing shareholder exemption (the “Existing Shareholder Exemption”) contained in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 and the various corresponding blanket orders and rules of participating jurisdictions.

The Company has set October 19, 2022 as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders eligibility to purchase Units pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that they were, on or before the record date, a shareholder of the Company (and still are a shareholder).  The aggregate subscription amount to any one subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless a subscriber has obtained suitability advice.

Should the aggregate subscriptions received exceed the maximum 6,500,000 Units for the Private Placement, Units shall be allocated to the qualifying subscribers pro rata based on their offered subscription amounts.

Proceeds from this financing will be used primarily for the production of inventory, sales and marketing, equipment purchases, patenting costs and general working capital, including further development of the Company’s technologies. A portion of the proceeds will also be used towards a prospective restructuring of certain long term indebtedness of the Company.

All securities issued pursuant to this financing are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Company may pay finders' fees to qualified finders in connection with this financing. Closing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
