Wi2Wi Announces Closing of Private Placement of Units

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 4, 2017 / Wi2Wi Corporation (Wi2Wi or the Company), announced today the closing of a non-brokered private placement of units. Although interest from investors was over and above the size of the offering, the Corporation decided to limit its size to its current financial requirements and it expects to raise additional funds in the future as it continues to expand its products offering.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of C$0.11 per share for a period of five years following the date hereof provided that, if after twelve (12) months following the date hereof, the closing price of a Company common share is in excess of C$0.50 for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date that shall be thirty (30) days following delivery of notice to that effect to the holders of the Warrants.

The common shares, warrants and common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of Warrants issued in connection with this offering are subject to a hold period in Canada until August 4, 2017.

The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of United States persons, except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of such act.

About IoT and M2M

Essentially, IoT and M2M describe the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Driven by several factors including the growth in the availability of Broadband Internet, which reduces the cost of connecting, and the related increase in Wi-Fi capabilities, as well as sensors built into myriad technologies, this has been described as the “perfect storm” for the IoT. Almost any device with an on and off switch that can be connected to the Internet (and/or to each other) – anything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices, cars, as well as machine components in the engine of a jet airplane or the drill of an oil rig. According to analyst firm Gartner, by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices. Others think this figure could be too conservative by a factor of four.
