Perk Labs Announces Proposed Non-Brokered Private Placement and Announces Resignation of CLO and Director

Vancouver, Canada / Friday, July 14, 2023 / Perk Labs Inc. (CSE:PERK / OTCQB:PKLBF / FKT:PKLB) (“Perk” or the “Company”) the company that specializes in ordering and payment technology, today announced that it is proposing a non-brokered private placement of units and convertible debentures. Additionally, the Company announced the resignation of Jonathan Hoyles, Chief Legal Officer and Director, who will be leaving Perk Labs to pursue another opportunity.

Private Placement of Units

 The Company is proposing a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,250,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.016 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $100,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.05 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing (as defined below).

Private Placement of Convertible Debentures

Perk Labs also announced today that it is proposing a non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of up to $250,000. The convertible debentures will be offered on varying terms, including interest rates ranging from 5% to 15% and differing acceleration terms and maturity dates specific to the terms of each convertible debenture agreement.

The convertible debentures will be convertible into common shares of Perk Labs at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the specific convertible debenture agreement.

The private placement of the Units and the convertible debentures is expected to close on or before August 24, 2023 (the “Closing”). The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals. All securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day following the Closing.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placements for general working capital purposes, accounts payable, and employee salaries.
