Peter Mackay, President of Venzee states, “As our partnership program continues to exceed our expectations, we are pleased to complete this financing in a very tough environment. This additional capital will be utilized to close additional channel partnership agreements, partner integration, marketing and general working capital.

In such case, the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accelerate the expiry time of the Warrants to a date that is 30 days following the date of issuance of a press release by Venzee announcing its intention to accelerate the expiry time.
