TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / EQ Inc. (TSXV:EQ) ("EQ Works" or the "Company"), a leader in delivering location behavioural data and intelligence, is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 6,101,830 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.75 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,576,373.

This financing supports EQ's recently announced engagement with one of Canada's largest corporations which combines some of the richest data sets in Canada with EQ's data focused proprietary platform to provide marketers and advertisers with best-in-class and unique targeting and measurement tools.

"We are continuing to gain traction with advertisers and marketers as they look for the best ways to target, derive insights and develop AI models incorporating location behaviour data." said Geoffrey Rotstein, President and CEO of EQ Works. "This funding will enable us to continue building our data platform, develop our data science practice and further expand into the U.S."

Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company ("Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable at a price of $1.00 per Common Share, for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Private Placement. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company at any time if the closing price of the Common Shares on the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") is greater than $1.25 for any 10 consecutive trading days following the date that is four months and one day after the closing of the Private Placement.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid finders fees of $1,256 in cash and issued 1,675 finder warrants on the same terms as the Warrants.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for technology development, expansion and general working capital purposes.

Pursuant to applicable securities laws, the securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a hold period for four months and one day from the closing of the Private Placement, expiring April 11, 2020. The Private Placement remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX-V.
