Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This release contains references to NAV which is a non-GAAP financial measure. NAV is calculated as the value of total assets. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no comparable GAAP financial measure presented in Victory Square Technologies Inc. consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the measure provides information useful to its shareholders in understanding the Company’s performance, and may assist in the evaluation of the Company’s business relative to that of its peers. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with GAAP. Existing NAV of the Company is not necessarily predictive of the Company’s future performance or the NAV of the Company as at any future date.

Strategic Non-Dilutive Loan Terms:

VST has entered into a loan agreement with Ryan Kimel (“Kimel”) dated August 26, 2022, whereby VST will borrow an aggregate of $2,000,000 from Kimel (the “Loan”). The Loan shall: (i) bear interest at 13% per annum payable monthly in advance in cash or marketable securities held by VST calculated and compounded monthly based on a 365 day year basis: (ii) mature on the two year anniversary of the closing date of the Loan (the “Maturity Date”); and (iii) be secured against (a) prior to the completion of the qualifying transaction ("QT") on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) of Perihelion Capital Ltd. (“PCL”) with IV Hydreight Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VST, certain shares of publicly traded companies currently held by VST; and (b) following the completion of the QT, certain shares (“PCL Shares”) to be received by VST in the capital of PCL, a capital pool company listed on the TSXV. In connection with the Loan and subject to the completion of the QT, VST shall also grant Kimel the right to acquire up to 1,222,222 PCL Shares to be received by VST in connection with the QT at a price per PCL Share of $0.63 at any time after 4 months following the completion of the QT and prior to the Maturity Date subject to certain additional conditions.
