Mentor Capital Subsidiary Divestiture Nets 500% of Market Cap in Cash

Strategic Buyer Pays Premium for MNTR's Investment in Trash Company

Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTCQB: MNTR) reports the sale to a strategic buyer of Mentor's legacy 51% stock interest in an Arizona-based trash consolidating business for $5.0 million in cash received October 4, 2023, plus $1.0 million in an additional note payable due in one-year, pending any unforeseen adjustments. This compares to Mentor's current market capitalization of $930,000 and recent book value of approximately $1,640,000. On June 30, 2023, Mentor estimated and reported that "the theoretical cash breakup value of the business, net of liabilities, may significantly exceed the current market price of the Company's stock."

Mentor has initiated the expansion of its planned focus in the classic energy sector with paced stock purchases in the oil, gas, uranium, coal, and related companies. Until divested, Mentor will continue to operate and collect on its other various business interests. In addition, during the late second and early third quarters of 2023, Mentor completed its second of two long-term stock repurchase programs.

About Mentor Capital: The Company seeks to come alongside and assist private companies and their founders and investors in meeting their liquidity, equity financing, and acquisition objectives. Mentor is currently focusing its new efforts on adding assets in the classic energy sectors.
