Certain statements in this news release related to the Company are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as 'may', 'should', 'could', 'intend', 'estimate', 'plan', 'anticipate', 'expect', 'believe' or 'continue', or the negative thereof or similar variations. There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and the Company's plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information. These risks and uncertainties include the successful closing of the second tranche of the Offering, the successful deployment of the Offering proceeds and the identification of opportunities in the market. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. These and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking information are based on estimates and opinions of management on the dates they are made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by this notice. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

Vigorous scientific research and clinical trials are needed. The Company has not conducted clinical trials for the use of its proposed products. Any references to quality, consistency, efficacy, and safety of potential products do not imply that the Company verified such in clinical trials or that the Company will complete such trials.

TransLink rides into the craft beer scene with the ‘Platform Pilsner,' a limited-edition brew made at Patina Brewing in Port Coquitlam
TransLink has officially boarded the craft beer train with the Platform Pilsner, a limited-edition Canadian brew created in collaboration with Patina Brewing Co. in Port Coquitlam. Unveiled at a press conference at Patina's brewery on Thursday, the TransLink-themed beer is being marketed as a distinctly Canadian craft pilsner, brewed with 100 percent Canadian ingredients and branded with a West Coast Express-inspired can design. 'This is a first for us,' said Anita Bathe, senior manager of media relations and issues management at TransLink. 'We partnered with Patina by sharing our branding and creative assets, and together we've brought to life the Platform Pilsner.' The purple-can design features rail-inspired graphics and nods to the regional transit system. Bathe said the collaboration is meant to reflect shared values between the brewery and the transit authority. Bathe emphasized the product's national identity. 'It was important that this beer not only tasted great, but that it also stood for something. That something is local pride, Canadian quality, and community connection,' she said. The Platform Pilsner will be available in four-packs at Patina Brewing and at select BC Liquor Stores across Metro Vancouver, just in time for the Canada Day long weekend. Only 1,500 packs have been produced, but Bathe did not rule out making more if Patina sells out. For Patina Brewing, the collaboration was a natural fit. 'We were super thrilled when TransLink reached out to us,' said Sarah Harbord, Patina's director of operations. 'We love doing collaborations. We love reaching out. We do a lot of volunteer fundraisers with other organizations. When TransLink called us, we absolutely said yes.' Head brewer Jose Rojas described the beer as Patina's own twist on a Canadian pilsner. 'We brew it nice and cold, we rest it nice and long, it's super crisp and clean, and we use some modern dry hopping techniques,' he said. 'It's not a regular lager, it's not a regular pilsner—it's a Canadian pilsner.' Rojas said the beer brings together ingredients from across the country. 'We have ingredients from Alberta, we have ingredients from Quebec, and we also have ingredients grown right here in B.C,' he said, adding the water is sourced from the Coquitlam watershed. When asked why a transit agency would venture into beer, Bathe pointed to TransLink's broader strategy to diversify its revenue streams. 'We're always looking for new ways to generate revenue that isn't from fares,' she said. 'We want it to be fun and creative and really connect to our local community, so this was the perfect fit at the right time.' Bathe added that TransLink is open to more product collaborations in the future: 'Everything that comes to the table will be looked at to make sure that it aligns with our brand and values. If there are ideas and local businesses want to collaborate, we will definitely look at what that could look like.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sizzling Platter, one of the largest U.S. restaurant franchisee platforms, today announced that affiliates of Bain Capital Private Equity have priced $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.500% senior secured notes due 2032 (the 'notes'), to fund the acquisition of Sizzling Platter's parent (the 'Company') by Bain Capital Private Equity. The affiliates, BCPE Flavor Debt Merger Sub, LLC ('Merger Sub') and BCPE Flavor Issuer, Inc. (the 'Co-Issuer') intend to use the net proceeds from the notes offering, together with borrowings under new senior secured credit facilities and equity contributions, to fund the acquisition, repay Sizzling Platter's existing indebtedness and pay related fees and expenses, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes. This press release does not constitute a notice of repayment of any outstanding indebtedness of Sizzling Platter. The notes will mature on July 1, 2032, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms. The notes offering is expected to close on July 2, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the notes will be guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by each existing and future wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (other than the Co-Issuer) that guarantees the Company's obligations under the new senior secured credit facilities, subject to certain exclusions. The notes and the related guarantees were offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction's securities laws. Accordingly, the notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable state or other jurisdiction's securities laws. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed merger and the expected closing of the offering. Forward-looking statements are made based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future events and, therefore, involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties.

Hi-View Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $480,000
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HI-VIEW RESOURCES INC. ('HI-VIEW' OR THE 'COMPANY') (CSE: HVW; OTCQB: HVWRF; FSE: B63) announces that further to its news releases dated May 28th and June 3rd, 2025, the Company has closed its non-brokered private placement consisting of 4,800,000 units (each a 'Unit') at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $480,000 (the 'Private Placement'). Each Unit consists of one common share (each, a 'Share') and one transferrable common share purchase warrant (each, a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share of the Company at a price of $0.12 per Share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. The Company relied on the exception set out in Section 4.6(2)(b) of CSE Policy 4 - Corporate Governance, Security Holder Approvals and Miscellaneous Provisions (the "Policy") with respect to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval of such transaction whereby the Company is issuing more than 100% of its issued share capital on a fully diluted basis (relating to the Private Placement warrants). The Company applied and was granted by the CSE the exception from shareholder approval based on the following: The Company is in financial hardship, has reached an agreement to complete the offering, no related persons as defined in Policy 1 will participate in the transaction; and has been approved by the majority of the independent directors of the Company. The net proceeds from the Placement will be allocated towards general corporate purposes including arm's length payables, and exploration activities on its Toodoggone Projects. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day as required under applicable securities legislation. Finder's fees of 150,000 broker warrants were paid to Haywood Securities Inc. Each broker warrant entitles its holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.12, for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. No insiders of the Company were allowed to participate in the Private Placement. About Hi-View Resources Inc.
