Facedrive Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement to Service Demand

  Facedrive Inc. (" Facedrive ") (TSXV: FD), a Canadian "people-and-planet first" technology ecosystem, announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 1,481,481 common shares of the Company (" Shares "), for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 at a price of $13.50 per Share (the " Offering "). There will be no warrants issued as part of the Offering; all shares acquired by a placee will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance.

The Offering follows growing demand for the Company's TraceSCAN wearable contact-tracing products due to increased engagement with various governments and multinational corporations, who are extremely concerned with the devastating impact of the second and future waves of the global pandemic COVID-19 on the health and safety of their constituents and stakeholders. As announced earlier, the Company has also experienced significant growth in its Food Delivery division as the global pandemic has continued to increase demand for food delivery. As such, Facedrive will be using the proceeds of the Offering to service pent-up demand for its TraceScan products and services, Facedrive Foods vertical, continue expansion of its Transportation-as-a-Service business throughout North America (including Steer EV, its electric vehicle subscription business currently operating in Washington DC), and general working capital purposes.

Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
