VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2022 / AMPD Ventures Inc. (CSE:AMPD)(OTCQB:AMPDF)(FRA:2Q0) ("AMPD" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche of the Company's non-brokered private placement announced on August 4, 2022 (the "Private Placement").

In conjunction with this first closing, the Company issued 4,598,572 Units at a price of CA$0.14 per Unit for gross proceeds of CA$643,800. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (each a ‘Share') and one common share purchase warrant (each a "Unit Warrant" and, collectively, the "Unit Warrants"), with each Unit Warrant entitling the holder to subscribe for one Common Share (each a "Warrant Share" and, collectively, the "Warrant Shares") in the capital of the Corporation at an exercise price of CA$0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of 18 months following the date of the closing of the Private Placement.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid certain finders CA$32,046 in cash, and 228,900 Unit Warrants as finder's fees.

All securities issued under the private placement are subject to a four-month and one-day hold period, and completion of the financing is subject to conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals, including approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE").

Due to the increased demand for the Offering, the Company is increasing the size of the offering to $1.8 million. AMPD expects to close the final tranche on or before August 24^th.

"We are pleased to see such strong support from our shareholders and the investment community. As we focus on revenue generation now that several of our platforms are commercially ready, having this additional capital positions us strongly to execute over the coming months," said Anthony Brown, CEO.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement to deploy AMPD infrastructure, increase headcount, and for general working capital purposes.
