(TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) ("Volt" or the "Company") with reference to its news release dated October 1, 2024, is pleased to announce that it has closed the Shares for Debt Transaction after receiving the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The debt settlement with the current President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, V-Bond Lee, being the exchange of 5,000,000 Common Shares for $100,000.00 of debt, is a "related party transaction" under Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The debt settlement with V-Bond Lee is exempt from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the debt, nor the fair market value of the shares to be issued in settlement of the debt, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. A material change report has not been filed at least 21 days before the closing of the Shares for Debt Transaction. The Company considers this shorter period to be reasonable and necessary in the circumstances to allow the Company to close the Shares for Debt Transaction as soon as possible for sound business reasons, including the Company's need to settle the Debt in an expeditious manner and preserve cash for ongoing operations.
