Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - October 26, 2020 - Marble Financial Inc. (CSE:MRBL) (CNSX:MRBL.CN) (OTC:MRBLF) ("Marble" or the "Company"), a financial technology company that empowers Canadians toward a positive financial future, is pleased to announce the first closing of its non-brokered private placement (the “Placement”).  Marble issued 3,764,067 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $564,610.  Marble intends to complete the balance of the Placement in an increased further amount of up to 10,000,000 Units for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (“Shares”) and one-half of one non-transferable warrant, with each whole warrant (each a “Warrant”) being exercisable to purchase a further Share at a price of $0.25 for a period of 24 months following the closing date, subject to accelerated expiry if the common shares of the Company trade or close at a price of $0.35 or more for 10 consecutive trading days on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”).  Pursuant to the first closing of the Placement, directors of the Company purchased 816,667 Units. The Company paid aggregate finder fees on eligible subscribers in the amount of $630 and issued 4,200 finder warrants having the same terms as the Warrants.

The Company further announces that it has issued unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) in the principal amount of $160,000.  The Debentures have a 12-month term and accrue interest at a simple rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly not in advance.  The principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.30 per share (i) at the option of the holder at any time; and (ii) at the option of the Company if the common shares of the Company trade or close at a price of $0.45 or more for 10 consecutive trading days on the CSE.

All securities issued in connection with the Placement, together with the Debentures and any conversion shares therefrom, are subject to a statutory hold period expiring February 24, 2021.  

The balance of the Placement is not subject to any minimum aggregate offering amount prior to closing.  The proceeds from the completed financings and the balance of the Placement will be used for general working capital, continued development of the Marble 2.0 platform, marketing of Score-Up and Score-Up Lite, payment of general and administrative expenses, and servicing of the interest due and repayment of TPF bonds and Company debentures in the normal course.  The approximate allocation of funds cannot be determined at this time, as funds will be used as needed to supplement cash flow from operations.  There is no material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

The Company would also like to announce that it is no longer a participant on the OTCQB exchange in the United States.  The Company’s common shares remain DTC eligible and will continue to trade on the OTC market under the symbol “MRBLF”.

The participation by the directors in the Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and the policies of the CSE.  The Company is relying upon the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and (b), and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction insofar as it involves interested parties (within the meaning of MI 61-101) in the Placement exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization calculated in accordance with MI 61-101, and on the basis that no securities of the Company are listed or quoted on a stock exchange as specified in MI 61-101.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
