Barra said during a Twitter Spaces audio conversation with Tesla CEO Elon Musk that electric vehicle drivers will be able to use its adapters that will be available in the spring 2024 and charge from Tesla's network. (1)" This news confirms one of Avila Energy's target markets, EV charging.

"Today was an interesting day, first Ford(1) and now GM", said Leonard B. Van Betuw President & CEO, "It is now becoming evident that major auto manufacturers are now coming to realize, what was being taken into consider Avila Energy Corporation for more than 5 years; prior to the majority of consumers being able to participate in the transition to Electric Vehicles "EVs" their must be both affordable and accessible electricity that is not dependant on third (3rd) party infrastructure will be in high demand".

Avila Energy wishes to continue to emphasize that after numerous presentations, due diligence sessions and budget meetings over the past 2 months the Company successfully negotiated and agreed to terms and accepted an offer of U.S.$10 million in Convertible Debentures to be priced as follows.

The Units (the "Units") shall consist of consisting of (i) one 24-month convertible Unit with a stated face value of US$1,150 per Unit, convertible in the one common share at a conversion price of US$0.50 per share and (ii) a two-year warrant (the "Warrant") representing the right to purchase one (1) share of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") for every dollar of the purchase price of the Unit at an exercise price of US$0.50/share.

In additional the News today Avila Energy Corporation in light of this news confirms that it has informed additional parties that the Company is prepared to accept additional offers to increase the financing within the context of the terms currently agreed upon for working capital to be able to fund unbudgeted increases in demand that may occur as a result of the telling decisions being made by auto manufacturers.

The financing is to be completed by way of private placement offering (i) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the "US Securities Act"), as amended, or (ii) pursuant to Canada's applicable securities laws, including Multi-National Instrument 45-106 (the "CDN Act") and any and all applicable state/provincial securities laws (the "Offering").

(2) The Company in the 1st half of 2023 has been continually having to adapt to change by addressing to the abrupt unanticipated transition from high Natural Gas prices of over CDN$5.00 per mcf in 2022 to the recent prices of under CDN$2.50 per mcf in 2023. As part of this transition, there has been the delay in the ramp-up of the Vertically Integrated Energy Business. Therefore, despite best efforts from time-to-time, part of this transition has been on-going negotiations with Micro Turbine Technology ("MTT"). The Company recently attended meetings in Eindhoven in the Netherlands and acknowledged that there have been some delays and despite our differences can confirm, that upon delivery of the outstanding payments to MTT that are within the budget noted above, it will have fulfilled its obligations and will be back on track. ' Despite our legal differences on the interpretation of both parties' contractual engagements, once Avila's financial commitments have been honoured with MTT, it will have cured MTT's Default Notice and be current on all its financial obligations towards MTT. Accordingly, Avila looks forward to ramping up its previously announced Vertically Integrated Energy Business in the course of 2023.
