NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

OTTAWA, May 6, 2020 /CNW/ – Martello Technologies Group Inc. (“Martello” or the “Company“) (TSXV: MTLO) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amended agreement with PI Financial Corp. and Eight Capital as co-lead underwriters on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively the “Underwriters“) to increase the size of the bought deal offering. The Underwriters will now purchase, on a bought deal basis, an aggregate of 28,575,000 units of Martello (the “Units“) at a price of $0.21 per Unit (the “Offering Price“) for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,750 (the “Offering“).

The Units will be offered by way of a short-form prospectus in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia, and such other additional jurisdictions in Canada as agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters.

The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Option“), which will allow the underwriters to offer up to an additional 15% of the Offering, on the same terms as the Units. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days following the closing date of the Offering, for any number of Units, Unit Shares, Warrants, or any combination thereof at a price equal to the Offering Price for a Unit and a price to be agreed upon for the Warrant. If this option is exercised in full, an additional $900,112.50 will be raised pursuant to the Offering and the aggregate proceeds of the Offering will be $6,900,862.50.

Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (each, a “Unit Share“) and one transferable common share purchase warrant (each such warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant shall be exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.30 per common share for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date (the “Warrant Shares” or together with the Unit Shares, “Shares“). Commencing on the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date, if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) for any 10 consecutive days equals or exceeds $0.50, the Company may, upon providing written notice to the holders of the Warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such written notice.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to pay a portion of the purchase price in connection with the previously announced acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding securities of GSX Participations SA pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated April 28, 2020.

The Offering is expected to close on or about May 26, 2020, or such other date as agreed between the Company and the Underwriters, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the closing in escrow of the Acquisition and the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the TSXV.
