TORTOLA, BVI / ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2020 / TraceSafe Inc. (the "Company") (CSE:TSF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp.

Each Unit will consist of one common share (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $1.50 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four months from closing of the Offering (the "Closing Date"). If, at any time following the date that is four months and one day from the Closing Date, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange is greater than $2.50 per Common Share for each of the preceding 10 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right to accelerate the exercise of the Warrants at the Exercise Price. If the Company exercises its Warrant acceleration right, the new expiry date of the Warrants shall 30 days following the notice of such exercise.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to purchase TraceSafe inventory and software, for sales and marketing and general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Company will, upon closing of the Offering, (i) pay the Agent a cash commission equal to up to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering; (ii) issue to the Agent warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") to acquire that number of Units which is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price for a period of twenty-four months from the Closing Date; and (iii) pay the Agent a corporate finance fee in Units which is equal to 2.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering.

Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Agent has been granted an option to arrange for the sale of up to an additional 1,500,000 Units at the Issue Price for additional gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1,500,000 on the same terms as the Offering, which option is exercisable by the Agent at any time at least two business days prior to the Closing Date.

The Company expects to close the Offering on or about July 16, 2020. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
