Vancouver, British Columbia, July 2, 2026 – TheNewswire – Manning Ventures Inc. (the “Company ” or “Manning ”) (CSE: MANN; Frankfurt: 1H5; US: MANVF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 9,986,665 common shares of the Company (the “Shares ”) at an issue price of $0.06 per Share, for gross proceeds of $599,199.90 (the “Offering ”).

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $8,904.00 and issued an aggregate of 148,400 non-transferable finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants ”) to eligible arm’s length finders, including Haywood Securities Inc., Ventum Financial Corp. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.12 per Common Share for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

The Company intends on using the net proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes.

Certain Insiders of the Company participated in the Offering. Such participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) thereof, as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to such insider nor the consideration paid by such person exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four (4) months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States or to any “U.S. Person” (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ U.S. Securities Act ”)) of any equity or other securities of the Company. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to a U.S. Person absent registration under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption therefrom.
