Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 15, 2023) - Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE: LQID) (OTCQB: LQAVF) (FSE: 4T5), ("Liquid Avatar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a best efforts, non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (the "Units") at price of $0.03 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering").

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at price of $0.05 per Warrant Share, for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the proceeds raised under the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Offering is expected to close on or about February 28, 2023 or on such date at the sole discretion of the Company, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals.

The securities to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of a private placement in each of the provinces of Canada, and such other jurisdictions as may be determined by the Company, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The Units to be issued under the Offering under Canadian securities laws will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing.

In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay a finder's fee in respect of subscribers introduced to the Corporation by an eligible finder of cash up to 8% of the value of the Units subscribed for and options to acquire the number of Units ("Compensation Options") equal to up to 8% of the number of Units subscribed for, which will be exercisable to acquire one Unit at price of $0.03 per Unit, for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.

Insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" to the extent that insiders of the Company subscribe for Units. The Company is, to the extent insiders participate, relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101, specifically: (i) the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b), as the Common Shares are not listed on a market specified in MI 61-101, and (ii) the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of all the Units that may be issued to related parties (including the value of any Warrants) will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). A material change report is not expected to be filed by the Company at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, as the Company is seeking to close the Offering as soon as possible. In the view of the Company, this approach is reasonable in the circumstances.

The Company may, at its sole discretion, increase the size of the Offering to $2.0 million.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the US. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.
