NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR

DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Toronto, Ontario, June 30, 2023 - Valour Inc. (the “Company” or “Valour”) (NEO: DEFI) (GR: RMJR) (OTCQB: DEFTF), a technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance, is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities regulators in each province and territory of Canada. When made final or effective, this filing will allow the Company and/or selling security holders to make offerings of common shares (including by way of an “at-the-market distribution” in accordance with applicable securities laws), debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, convertible securities, units or any combination thereof for up to a maximum amount of C$20 million during the 25-month period over which the base shelf prospectus is effective.

The Company has filed this Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus in order to have greater financial flexibility going forward but has no immediate plans to issue any securities under it at this time, and may never proceed with any such issuance. Should the Company and/or selling security holders decide to offer securities during the 25-month effective period, the specific terms, including the use of proceeds, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the final base shelf prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such province, state or jurisdiction.

A copy of the Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
