(TSXV: WLCO) (FSE: 7HO) ("Well Told" or the "Company"), the female-founded wellness company that offers plant-based supplements, remedies, and other functional wellness products, announces that it intends to complete a series of debt conversions to decrease the Company's ‎debt and preserve its cash for working capital.‎

• Three employees of the Company have ‎agreed to accept an aggregate of 3,028,229 common shares of the Company at a deemed price ‎of $0.02 per share in satisfaction of accrued and unpaid remuneration (salary and annual bonuses), ‎representing an aggregate of $60,565 of indebtedness.‎

• Two senior officers of the Company (Monica Ruffo and Betty Au Yeung) have agreed to accept an ‎aggregate of 5,775,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.02 per ‎share in satisfaction of accrued and unpaid remuneration (2021 and 2022 annual bonuses), ‎representing an aggregate of $115,500 of indebtedness.‎

• An arm's length service provider has agreed to accept 900,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.02 per ‎share in satisfaction of $18,000 of accrued and unpaid consulting fees.‎

The foregoing transactions are subject to approval of the directors of the Company and regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") and will be subject to a four-month hold period.

The debt conversion transactions with the foregoing senior officers of the Company are each considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transactions are each exempt from the formal valuation approval requirements of MI 61-101 as none of the securities of the Company are listed on a prescribed stock exchange. The transactions are each exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as at the time they were agreed to, neither the fair market value of the transaction, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction, insofar as they involve interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization, respectively.

While the Company is actively trying to secure debt or equity financing to assist it in meeting its working capital requirements, there can be no assurance that one or more financings will result, or successfully conclude in a timely manner or at all. Additional information will be released by the Company as it occurs.
