Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – January 11, 2021) – GOLO Mobile Inc. doing business as Usewalter (TSXV: WLTR) (“Usewalter” or “the Company”) today announced that it has entered into subscription agreements with certain insiders and related parties to complete a non-brokered, non-arm’s length private placement of an aggregate of 45,833,331 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price of C$0.09 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$4,125,000 (the “Private Placement”).

Closing of the Private Placement is subject to approval of the TSXV and other closing conditions customary for offerings of this nature. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to fund general working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Private Placement, Paysafe UK GOLO Holdco Limited (“UK Holdco”), James McRoberts, Danny Chazonoff, and Habsfan Holdings Inc. (“HHI”) are expected to purchase 27,777,777 Shares, 4,166,666 Shares, 7,222,222 Shares and 6,666,666 Shares, respectively. Each of the subscribers is a related party of the Company and, as a result, the Private Placement will be a related party transaction for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). On the date hereof, UK Holdco, Mr. McRoberts and HHI (including persons affiliated with each of them, respectively) own, directly or indirectly, approximately 46.9%, 19.3% and 6.0%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Shares on an undiluted basis, each of Mr. McRoberts and HHI (including persons affiliated with each of them, respectively) hold certain warrants to acquire additional Shares and Mr. Chazonoff holds certain options to acquire additional Shares. Following completion of the Private Placement, UK Holdco, Mr. McRoberts, Mr. Chazonoff and HHI (including persons affiliated with each of them, respectively) will hold approximately 50.01%, 17.02%, 3.57% and 7.96%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Shares on an undiluted basis.

The Company will rely on the exemption from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation in Section 5.5(g) of MI 61-101 and on the exemption from the requirement to obtain minority approval in Section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101 as: (i) the Board, and each of the Company’s independent directors in respect of the Private Placement, acting in good faith have determined that: (A) the Company is in serious financial difficulty; (B) the Private Placement is designed to improve the financial position of the Company; (C) Section 5.5(f) of MI 61-101 is not applicable; and (D) the terms of the Private Placement are reasonable in the circumstances of the Company; and (ii) there is no other requirement, corporate or otherwise, to hold a meeting to obtain any approval of the Company’s shareholders for the Private Placement. To Usewalter’s knowledge, no formal valuation of the Company or its securities or material assets has been made in the 24 months prior to the date hereof.

Following discussion and deliberation among the members of the Board who are independent with respect to the Private Placement, the Board determined that the Private Placement is in the best interests of the Company and the Private Placement was unanimously approved by the Board, provided that Danny Chazonoff disclosed his interest in the resolutions relating to the Private Placement and abstained from voting thereon in accordance with Section 120 of the Canada Business Corporations Act. In considering and approving the Private Placement and relying on the formal valuation exemption in Section 5.5(g) of MI 61-101 and the minority approval exemption in section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, the Board took into account factors including, but not limited to: (i) the financial position and outlook of the Company, including as more particularly disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020; (ii) the Company’s immediate and pressing need for capital to fund its working capital needs, the speed and certainty with which the Private Placement could be completed and the fact that the Private Placement is essential to fund such immediate working capital needs; (iii) the alternative sources of financing explored by the Company and the lack of alternative sources that could be completed on similarly favourable terms or quickly enough to satisfy the Company’s immediate working capital needs or with adequate certainty of completion; and (iv) its understanding that the terms of the Private Placement are likely more favourable to the Company than those that could be obtained from arm’s length investors for similar aggregate proceeds.

The Company expects that it will not file a material change report in respect of the Private Placement more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Private Placement as the Company wishes to close the Private Placement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons and in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature.
