AVRICORE HEALTH ANNOUNCES $1.25 MILLION FINANCING

Avricore Health Inc. has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 25 million units at a price of five cents per unit for gross proceeds of $1.25-million. The proceeds will be used to expand the company's HealthTab network and for general working capital purposes.

Each unit consists of one common share and one-half transferrable share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the offering at a price of 10 cents per common share. The company may pay finders' fees of up to 7-per-cent cash and 7-per-cent brokers warrants on a portion of the placement. Each broker warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the offering at a price of five cents per common share.

The offering is available to accredited investors as well as all shareholders of record of the company as at May 19, 2026, resident in Canada who are eligible to participate under the exemption from prospectus requirements set out in applicable instruments of Canadian Securities Administrators and who continue to be shareholders of the company immediately prior to the closing of the offering.

Closing of the private placement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Certain directors and officers are expected to participate in the private placement. Such participation is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The related party transaction will be exempt from minority approval, information circular and formal valuation requirements pursuant to the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the gross securities to be issued under the private placement nor the consideration to be paid by the insiders will exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. A material change report will be filed less than 21 days before the closing date of the transactions contemplated by this news release. The company believes this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances.
