TORONTO, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Valour Inc. (the "Company" or "Valour") (NEO: DEFI) (GR: RMJR) (OTC: DEFTF), a technology company and the first and only publicly traded company that bridges the gap between traditional capital markets, Web3 and decentralized finance, are pleased to share updates on assets under management, net sales of its Exchange Traded Products ("ETPs") and other corporate news for the month ending May 2023.

For the month ending May '23, Valour's total assets under management (AUM) stood at C$178.9 million, with net sales increasing to C$475.2 million. These figures indicate a healthy interest in Valour's suite of exchange traded products, and steady growth all around.

In other news, Valour's investment valuation in partially owned bank, SEBA Bank AG, stands at C$37 million as of March 31, 2023.

"Despite AUM being up substantially since the beginning of the year our equity valuation has been underperforming the entire sector as we worked to clean out approximately 13 million shares as an aggressive seller hit our market," said Olivier Roussey Newton, CEO of Valour. "Month over month we continue to bring in new customers and anticipate several new products being launched in the very near term which will enable Valour to grow assets over the balance of the year."

The Company further announces that it has confirmed that Mr. Stan Bharti and Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. have disposed of all their shareholdings of the Company and have no interest whatsoever in the company.

Shares for Debt Settlement

The Company is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into shares for debt settlement agreements with various officers and consultants of the Company to settle an aggregate amount of approximately C$674,837.78 of accrued fees owing to such officers and consultants of the Company (collectively, the "Debt") by issuing common shares of the Company (the "Debt Shares") at a price of C$0.085 per Debt Share for a total of 7,939,268 Debt Shares (the "Debt Settlement").

The Company believes that the Debt Settlement will strengthen its balance sheet by reducing its liabilities as well as further align the interests of its officers and consultants with the shareholders of the Company. The Debt Settlement is subject to the acceptance of the Cboe Canada. The Debt Shares issued in connection with the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one day.

The issuance of the Debt Shares to the officers of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" as this term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101: Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Debt Shares nor the debt exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
