("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") (TSXV: VRY) is pleased to provide a corporate update which includes the extension of the exercise period for common share purchase warrants issued on October 31, 2023, all of which are exercisable at CAD $4.00 per common share (the "Warrants"), the grant of 871,130 options ("Options"), and the closing of the September 2024 Short-term debentures.

October 2024 Warrant Extension

The Company is extending the expiry date of the Warrants by twelve (12) months, establishing a new expiry date of October 31, 2025. The Warrants, issued through a private placement on October 31, 2023, were set to expire on October 31, 2024. All other terms and conditions of the Warrants remain unchanged. This amendment is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV).

September 2024 Option Grant

In September 2024, the Company approved the grant of stock options (the "Options") exercisable for a total of 871,130 common shares ("Common Shares") to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. All Options were granted pursuant to the Company's stock option plan and are subject to the terms of the applicable grant agreements and the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

The Options were granted at an exercise price of $1.25 and expire on September 25, 2029. The Options shall vest annually over three years from the date of grant. The Options are subject to TSXV acceptance.‎

The Company relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as the exemption from ‎the ‎formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the grant of options to the directors and ‎officers of ‎the Company as the common shares of the Company are not listed on a specified market ‎‎(and ‎the common shares are only listed on the TSXV). The Company relied on ‎‎section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-‎‎101 ‎in respect of the grant of options to the directors and officers of the Company as neither the fair ‎market ‎value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the grant of ‎the ‎options to the director of the Company exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.‎

September 2024 Short-Term Debentures
