A Word to Shareholders

VANCOUVER British Columbia; December 29^th, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Eden Empire Inc. (CSE: EDEN) (the "Company" or "Eden Empire") is pleased to announce that it has closed the third tranche of its previously announced C$500,000 private placement (the “Private Placement”). The third tranche consisted of 4,700,000 Units (defined below) for gross proceeds of C$235,000 (the “Third Tranche Private Placement”).

Each Unit in the Private Placement is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) at a price of C$0.05 per Share, and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”, and together with a Share, a “Unit”).

If the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) is C$0.24 per share or greater for any 10 consecutive trading days during the period where the Warrants are outstanding, the Company may, by written notice to the holder or by issuing a news release, accelerate the Warrant Expiry Date of the Warrants to be 30 days following the date of such notice or news release.

In connection with the Third Tranche Private Placement, the Company paid an aggregate cash finder’s fee of C$7,700 and issued 154,000 Warrants to Haywood Securities Inc.. All securities issued in connection with the Third Tranche Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws.
