VANCOUVER, May 25, 2020 /CNW/ - TIMIA Capital Corporation ("TIMIA" or the "Company") (TSX-V: TCA/OTC: TIMCF) announced that it has entered into a $2 million investment facility for Retail Innovation Labs LLC doing business as Cova Software ("Cova"), a Denver, CO and Vancouver, BC-based developer of an award-winning point of sale ("POS") and Inventory Management platform designed to streamline cannabis retail. The 2 year financing facility includes an initial disbursement of $1,250,000, which has been advanced, and an additional $750,000 to be disbursed upon certain milestones being met over the term of the agreement.

"Cova has developed the market leading technology platform and POS currently powering nearly 90% of Ontario cannabis stores and over 50% of all cannabis retailers in Canada," said Rob Foxall, Vice President of Origination of TIMIA. "Given their success, the team at Cova has selected TIMIA's innovative non-dilutive financing to support their continued growth. Our financial solution is a great alternative for organizations like Cova that require funding to increase their customer base and drive sales, while maintaining equity ownership and control over their company."

"We are seeing tremendous growth in the highly regulated cannabis industry and our software solution allows retailers to successfully navigate and grow in this complex and changing environment," said Gary Cohen, CEO of Cova Software. "Recognizing the need for expansion capital, we explored several alternatives and found that TIMIA had the best solution for our needs. We look forward to working with the team at TIMIA as we continue to strengthen our competitive position in the growing cannabis industry."

TIMIA has developed a proprietary, scalable, technology-driven fintech platform targeting higher risk-adjusted returns on its finance solutions, creating value for shareholders, and leveraging its non-dilutive capital structure. The Company is driving growth of its investment portfolio by providing non-dilutive investment facilities to revenue producing growth companies in the software as a service or SaaS industry.

Growing SaaS companies, such as Cova, requiring financing are invited to register with TIMIA through its fintech platform. Under a revenue-based financing model, TIMIA advances capital to SaaS businesses with recurring revenue streams allowing the portfolio company to make monthly payments, which are a combination of principal and interest, to TIMIA with a repayment schedule sculpted to the portfolio company's revenue streams. The amounts advanced are secured and may be repaid early. TIMIA expects to make further investments in the coming months, in the pursuit of its business model, which is to earn a combination of monthly payments and periodic gains on investments.
