Facedrive Announces Private Placement of Units

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Facedrive Inc. (" Facedrive " or the " Company ") (TSXV: FD) (OTCQX: FDVRF), a Canadian "people-and-planet first" tech ecosystem, is pleased to announce that it has received commitments from all members of its Board of Directors to complete a private placement on a non-brokered basis (the " Private Placement "), pursuant to which approximately 7,343,750 units (the " Units ") will be issued at a price of $0.64 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,700,000.

"We are thrilled and very appreciative of the vote of confidence the Board is placing with their direct investment into our Company. We feel this reflects very positively on the work we have done in building out the fundamentals as well as our prospects to build a pre-eminent ESG mobility and logistics technology platform. This affirms the progress we have made in developing and commercializing our core business offerings, as our focus now shifts to continuing to grow our market share," said Suman Pushparajah, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company.

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a " Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (a " Warrant "). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Share (a " Warrant Share ") at a price of $0.80 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance, subject to customary adjustment provisions.

The Private Placement will include subscriptions from directors of the Company, thereby making the Private Placement a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "). However, the Private Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 since neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the Private Placement, nor the consideration paid, will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders or control persons will be created in connection with the closing of the Private Placement.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Units for general business development activities and general working capital purposes.

The closing of the Private Placement is subject to the approval of the TSXV. All securities that are issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to, among other things, a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
