Avila Energy Closes $8,000,000 Private Placement of Flow-Through Units and Charity Flow-Through Units

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION, DISTRIBUTION, RELEASE, OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2022 / Avila Energy Corporation ("Avila" or the "Company"), trading symbol "CSE:VIK.CN", is pleased to announce that it closed through Echelon Capital Markets ("Echelon"), acting as the sole agent, $7,999,999.73 of flow-through units in respect of Canadian renewable and conservation expenses ("CRCE") within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) comprised of $3,999,999.33 of traditional flow-through units (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.335 per FT Unit, and $3,999,999.90 of charity flow-through units (the "Charity FT Units" and with the FT Units, the "Offered Securities"), pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption") available under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 ("NI 45-106"), at a price of $0.39 per Charity FT Unit (the "Offering"). Each Offered Security is comprised of one common share (a "Unit Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one common share (a "Warrant Share") in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months until December 23, 2024.

As previously disclosed and detailed in the Company's amended Form 45-106F19 offering document posted on SEDAR earlier today, the net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund Canadian renewable and conservation expenses. More specifically, the net proceeds will be used to advance the Company's Vertically Integrated Energy Business, a combination of tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reductions. The Offered Securities issued as a result of the Offering will be issued on a "flow-through" basis in respect of CRCE within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). CRCE receives tax treatment similar to that of Canadian exploration expense under Section 66 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), but is a distinct category for fully deductible expenditures relating to the start-up of renewable energy and energy conservation projects. Upon issuing the Offered Securities at the closing of the Offering, the Company will renounce 100% of the to-be-incurred eligible expenses to the Offering subscribers which can be deducted from ordinary income in calculating the subscriber's liability for income tax. The Company is then committed to incur an amount of eligible expenses equal to the Offering proceeds prior to December 31, 2023.

Echelon received a cash commission of $559,999.98 (the "Commission") equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering. The Company issued to Echelon 1,553,770 compensation options (the "Compensation Options") equal to 7.0% of the number of Offered Securities sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Option shall entitle the holder to subscribe for a non-flow-through unit (each comprising of one common share and one half of one Warrant) at a price of $0.34 for a period of 24 months until December 23, 2024.

The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance NI 45-106, the Charity FT Units were offered for sale to purchasers' resident in Canada pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106. Because the Offering of Charity FT Units is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Unit Shares, Warrant Shares underlying the Charity FT Units and the compensation option shares and compensation option warrants underlying the Compensation Options issued pursuant to the Charity FT Units will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The FT Units will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing.

The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities
applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
