VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 18, 2025 / Forte Group Holdings Inc. (CSE:FGH)(OTC:FGHFF)(FSE:7BC0, WKN:A40L1Z)("Forte Group" or the "Company"), a diversified lifestyle and wellness consumer packaged goods company, announces that, further to its news release dated July 14, 2025, it intends to amend the terms of a series of initiatives designed to strengthen its financial position, including a non-brokered private placement financing (the "Private Placement"), consisting of the issuance of an aggregate of 8,700,000 units of the Company (each, a "Unit"), at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $435,000 and a Debt Settlement (as defined below).

Private Placement

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and 0.59 transferable common share purchase warrants of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.065 per Warrant Share for a period of two years from the date of closing.

Closing of the Private Placement is anticipated to occur on or about July 25, 2025, and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, and subject to addressing any comments received from the Canadian Securities Exchange during a five business day period from the date of this news release in accordance with their policies.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are intended to be used for general working capital and outstanding payables. The securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Proposed Debt Settlement

In line with its continued efforts to strengthen its balance sheet, the Company intends to settle debt totaling $504,119.20 owed to certain creditors of the Company in consideration for the issuance of an aggregate 3,360,795 units of the Company (each, a "Debt Settlement Unit") at a deemed price of $0.15 per Debt Settlement Unit (the "Debt Settlement").

Each Debt Settlement Unit will consist of one Share (each, a "Debt Share") and 0.59 transferable common share purchase warrants (each whole warrant, a "Debt Settlement Warrant"), with each Debt Settlement Warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company (each, a "Debt Settlement Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.065 per Debt Settlement Warrant Share for a period of two years from the date of closing of the Debt Settlement. The securities issued under the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Closing of the Debt Settlement is anticipated to occur on or about July 25, 2025, and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, and subject to addressing any comments received from the Canadian Securities Exchange during a five business day period from the date of this news release in accordance with their policies.

Insiders may participate in the Private Placement and the Debt Settlement and such participation may constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Private Placement and Debt Settlement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market capitalization.
