Leonard Van Betuw ("Mr. Van Betuw") announces that he has been disposed of 3.2% of the common shares he holds in Avila Energy Corporation ("Avila") as a result of an issuance of common shares pursuant to an offering of flow-through units and charity flow-through units closed on December 23, 2022 (the "Issuance").

On December 23, 2022, Avila issued 22,196,708 Common Shares from treasury pursuant to the Issuance. Prior to the Issuance, Mr. Van Betuw held 16.02% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Avila as a result of a related party transaction between the Issuer and 611890 Alberta Inc.
