NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR 

FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Boston, MA, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiniLuxe Holding Corp. (TSXV: MNLX) ("MiniLuxe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed a "top up" closing of a non-brokered convertible debenture unit offering, yielding gross proceeds of approximately US$500,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering mirrors the terms of the Company's previously completed debenture financing tranches which were announced on November 30, 2023 and January 22, 2024, collectively raising over US$4.25 million. This recent top up Offering was initiated in order to welcome additional subscriptions from friends and family of existing investors from those prior rounds. In conjunction with the Offering and the previously concluded financings, including a US$2 million follow-on financing from Flow Capital Corp. announced on April 9, 2024, MiniLuxe has received an additional capital influx of over US$6.25 million over the last six months.

The closing of this most recent Offering resulted in the issuance of 475 units of the Company (each, a "Unit" and collectively the "Units"). Each Unit consists of one US$1,000 principal amount, 11.5% paid-in-kind simple interest for an unsecured convertible Debenture of the Company (each, a "Debenture" and collectively the "Debentures"), with each Debenture maturing 42 months following the issuance date, and such number of Class A subordinate voting share purchase warrants (each a "Warrant" and collectively the "Warrants") as is equal to 15% of the principal amount of Debentures. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire such number of Class A subordinate voting shares as is equal to 15% of the principal amount of the Debentures at a price of US$0.52 (or ~$0.72 CDN) per share for a period of 42 months from the grant date.

The Debentures and Warrants issued in the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the issuance date in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Given the robust interest garnered from the Offering and pending certain investment plans, the Company may initiate an additional equity financing over the next 12 months with terms to be determined and announced in due course. Currently the Company holds sufficient capital for ongoing funding operations and planned investments going into 2026.

Tony Tjan, MiniLuxe's CEO commented, "We are pleased that our recent performance and long-term outlook to transform the nail care industry has continued its positive momentum and attracted investment in MiniLuxe. Additionally, we are most pleased that the interest is coming from a very high-quality base of value-add investors with deep industry and consumer relevancy for MiniLuxe."

Forward-looking statements

This press release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking information") concerning the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to the future financial outlook and anticipated events or results of the Company and may include information regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, acquisition prospects and plans, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. Particularly, information regarding the Company's expectations of future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities or the markets in which the Company operates is forward-looking information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "targets", "expects", "budgets", "scheduled", "estimates", "outlook", "forecasts", "projects", "prospects", "strategy", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will" occur. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances.

Many factors could cause the Company's actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, without limitation, those listed in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's filing statement dated November 9, 2021. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. 

Forward-looking information, by its nature, is based on the Company's opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company currently believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Those factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Despite a careful process to prepare and review forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information. Although the Company bases its forward-looking information on assumptions that it believes were reasonable when made, which include, but are not limited to, assumptions with respect to the Company's future growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities, execution of the Company's business strategy, there being no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environments, future levels of indebtedness and current economic conditions remaining unchanged, the Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which the Company operates may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. In addition, even if the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking information contained in this press release, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to the Company or that the Company presently believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made (or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made). Any forward-looking statement that is made in this press release speaks only as of the date of such statement.
