Web3 Ventures Inc. Announces Receipt of Conditional Approval to Trade on the CSE Under Ticker Symbol "WEBV", Update to its Previously Announced Private Placement and Board Changes

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN

TORONTO, July 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Web3 Ventures Inc. (the "Company" or "W3V"), a Web 3.0 company specializing in blockchain solutions, decentralized applications, and strategic investments, is pleased to announce that the Company has received conditional approval to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"), subject to fulfilling customary CSE requirements. The Company is aiming to list its subordinate voting shares ("SVS") on the CSE this fall and may alter its listing date subject to the satisfaction of routine conditions as required by the CSE.

"We couldn't be more excited to achieve this significant milestone in the listing process," said David Nikzad, W3V's CEO. "Since day one, our vision has been to provide the Web3 community and investors with a unique opportunity for liquidity through a public listing and a diversified portfolio of projects backed by visionary founders that are advancing AI, VR, AR, defi, blockchain and gaming, all fueled by clean energy. Our goal is to begin trading this fall, with the reserved ticker symbol "WEBV" on the CSE. This would not have been possible without our shareholders' patience and unwavering commitment as we navigated this process."

Now that W3V has a liquidity pathway, the Company is excited to offer a diverse portfolio of passive and control investments in what it views as best-in-class assets, start-ups, and mature companies. These ventures are meticulously selected by the Company's management to ensure de-risking and to provide shareholders with returns on investment.

Nikzad added: "Web3 Ventures will continue to set itself apart through its commitment to transparency and accountability. The Company is looking forward to providing shareholders with consistent and effective communication channels, ensuring they are well-informed about the progress and performance of their investments."

Update on Previously Announced Financing

The Company also wishes to announce an update with respect to its ongoing non-brokered offering previously announced in the Company's news release dated April 26, 2023. The Company is proceeding with its offering of up to 10,000,000 units (the "Offering") consisting of: (a) one SVS and (b) one SVS purchase warrant ("SVS Warrant"), wherein each SVS Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one SVS at a price of C$0.20 per SVS for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. Use of proceeds of the Offering are anticipated to be used for the Company's continued deployment of capital into the pipeline of projects the Company's management continues to evaluate.

The Company anticipates the closing of the Offering to occur shortly before its listing, on or about September 30, 2023, and is subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to satisfaction of the approval conditions of the CSE for the listing of the SVS, among other things. There can be no guarantee that the CSE will accept the listing of the SVS.
