MONDAVI VENTURES COMPLETES SHARES FOR DEBT SETTLEMENT

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES.

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 21, 2023 – Mondavi Ventures Ltd. (the "Company" or "Mondavi"), announces that effective August 21, 2023, it has settled $321,817 of outstanding indebtedness with a certain creditor (the “Settlement”) through the issuance of 3,218,170 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.10 per share.

Subsequent to the Settlement, the Company has 28,148,670 common shares issued and outstanding.

Related Party Participation in the Settlement

The Emprise Special Opportunities Fund (2017) Limited Partnership (the “Emprise LP2017”), an insider of the Company, participated in the Settlement. As an insider of the Company participated in this Settlement, it is deemed to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101

  • Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).

Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, a related party, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.

The Settlement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) in respect of such insider participation, based on a determination that the fair market value of the participation in the Settlement by insiders did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Settlement because the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Settlement and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
