VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 14, 2022 /CNW/ - Tribe Property Technologies Inc. (TSXV: TRBE) (OTCQB: TRPTF) ("Tribe" or the "Company") has closed its previously announced brokered financing pursuant to which the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $21 million from the sale of units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $4.00 per Unit (the "Offering").  Round13 Growth Fund ("Round13"), a highly respected, late-stage growth equity investment fund, part of the Round13 Capital family of funds, was the lead investor for the financing and subscribed for $10 million worth of Units. The gross proceeds of this Offering included proceeds raised from the full exercise of the option granted to the Agents (as defined below).

"We're delighted that our private placement was oversubscribed and excited by the support we've received from the investment community. This financing is a clear vote of confidence in the milestones Tribe has achieved, and our roadmap for the future," said Joseph Nakhla, Tribe CEO. "This financing, led by Round13, enables the Company to continue to execute on our acquisition pipeline, while advancing the deployment of our new products and services to the growing condo and rental market."

"The digitization of the property management industry is long overdue, and we expect Tribe will lead a significant transformation across the industry," said Sanjiv Samant, Managing Partner of Round13 Capital.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for executing on the Company's acquisition pipeline, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering was led by Stifel GMP as sole bookrunner and together with Cormark Securities Inc. as co-lead agents and on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Laurentian Bank Securities, Eight Capital and PI Financial Corp (the "Agents"). Stifel GMP acted as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the strategic investment by Round13.

Each Unit consists of one common share (each, a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") of the Company. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $5.10 per Warrant Share, until January 14, 2025, subject to adjustment in certain events.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day expiring on May 15, 2022.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agents a cash fee of $1,197,000 and issued to the Agents 299,248 compensation warrants (each, a "Broker Warrant"). Each Broker Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Broker Share") at a price of $5.10 per Broker Share, until January 14, 2025, subject to adjustment in certain events.

In connection with Round13's participation in the Offering and subject to regulatory and corporate law requirements, Round13 has been provided with certain rights, including: (i) right to nominate one director to the board of the Company at the Company's next annual general or special meeting of its shareholders; and (ii) right to recommend a qualified independent director to the board of the Company at the Company's next annual general or special meeting of its shareholders.
