BeWhere Holdings Inc. Announces Proposed Private Placement

Not for Distribution to United States Newswire Services or for Dissemination in the United States

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2019 / BeWhere Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BEW, OTCQB: BEWFF) (“BeWhere” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its intention to complete a private placement equity financing of units of the Company (“Units“) for minimum gross proceeds of $2,500,000 (the “Minimum Offering“) and maximum gross proceeds of $3,500,000 (the “MaximumOffering” and collectively with the Minimum Offering, the “Private Placement“) at a price of $0.19 per Unit.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of 5 years following the closing of the Private Placement.

The Company has entered into an engagement letter with PI Financial Corp. to act as lead agent (the “Agent“) in connection with the Private Placement on a “best-efforts” basis.

The Agent will be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement (3.5% in respect of President’s List purchasers up to $2,500,000) and will receive broker warrants entitling the Agent to purchase a number of Common Shares equal to 7% of the number of the Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement (3.5% in respect of President’s List purchasers up to $2,500,000).

In addition, the Company has granted the Agent an over-allotment option to sell up to an additional 15% of the Units to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement, exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 24 hours before the closing of the Private Placement.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for purchase of inventory, for working capital and, if the Maximum Offering is achieved, for expansion of operations in Europe.

The Company also announces that a strategic investor and current partner is expected to be subscribing for Units in the Private Placement in the amount of $1,000,000. Owen Moore, CEO of BeWhere Inc. said “We are pleased to expand our existing relationship with a strategic partner/investor. We have worked closely with this company during the engineering, proof of concept and commercialization of our Mobile Internet of Things (M-IOT) solutions and we are pleased to expand our relationship with the offering.”

In that directors and senior officers of the Company will be participating in part of the Private Placement, that part of the Private Placement will be a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101“), which requires the Company to obtain “minority approval” of the Company’s shareholders of the related party transaction unless there is an exemption from such requirement. The Company is relying on the exemption in Section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the securities to be distributed to the related parties will be less than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Private Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. The Common Shares and Warrants issued as part of the Units pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and a day hold period.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
