Announces Convertible Debenture Private Placement  Edmonton,Alberta - October 21, 2022 - Yorkton Equity Group Inc. ("Yorkton" or the "Company") ([TSXV:YEG]( is pleased to announce, subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") and other regulatory approvals, a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of up to $2,000,000 in unsecured convertible debentures of the Company (the "Convertible Debentures"). Mr. Ben Lui, President and CEO of Yorkton commented that, "We believe that Yorkton has opportunities to purchase rental assets at favorable prices due to the current real estate market conditions in Canada. The Company is well positioned to leverage its extensive lender relationships and available CMHC lending programs to obtain very favorable mortgage terms. Further, we expect an increase in demand for rental properties due to the high mortgage interest rates together with strong immigration rates arising from the relaxing of COVID-19 government health mandates. The expected funds raised in this Offering will allow the Company to further build up its "war chest" to position itself to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise." Details of this Private Placement: Each Convertible Debenture will have an issue price of $1,000 with an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, payable annually to the Convertible Debenture holders only in cash no later than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of the closing date of the Offering to the maturity date. Each Convertible Debenture will mature on the date that is five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Convertible Debenture (the "Term"). The principal amount of each Convertible Debenture may, at the option of the Convertible Debenture holder, be convertible, in whole or in part during the Term, into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.30 per Common Share (the "Conversion"), after which such principal amount of the Convertible Debenture will be extinguished. For a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the third (3rd) and fourth (4th) anniversary after the closing date, the Convertible Debenture holder has the right, but not the obligation, to retract the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture ("Retraction Rights"), not previously converted or redeemed, by providing notice to the Company (the "Retraction Notice") so that the principal amount owing under the Convertible Debenture, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be payable in cash by the Company on the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after receipt of the Retraction Notice by the Company. The Company, after a period of thirty-six (36) months following the date of closing, will also have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem the principal amount and any unpaid interest of the Convertible Debenture in cash, without penalty, at any time prior to the date of maturity by providing a thirty (30) calendar day notice period (the "Redemption Notice") to the Convertible Debenture holder by way of a written notice or a press release duly disseminated. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Convertible Debenture holder, at its sole discretion, may request for a Conversion (of the principal amount only exclusive of any interest component which is payable in cash only) from the Company by the issuance of Common Shares. All rights to Conversion lapses ten (10) business days after receipt of the Redemption Notice. The Convertible Debentures and any Common Shares issuable upon conversion will be subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months and one day following the closing date. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for the continued acquisition of multi-family rental properties in strategic markets consistent with its secure and aggressive growth business model, and general working capital. The Offering may be completed in multiple tranches and is subject to customary closing conditions, including conditional approval from the Exchange.
