Three investment funds, two of which are already shareholders of the Corporation, have acquired Common Shares under the Offering.

The Corporation did not file a material change report 21 days prior to closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of insiders of the Corporation in the Offering had not been confirmed at that time.
"We are very pleased that these key investors recognize Urbanimmersive's progress in the real estate market as a significant sign of the potential of our immersive technology. This financial support allows us to pursue our goals with ease." said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.
Urbanimmersive has compensated the Agent through the issuance of 350,000 Common Shares on closing of the Offering.
All Common Shares issued under the Offering were issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws and are subject to a statutory resale restriction until April 6th, 2014.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for sales and marketing initiatives, research and development and for working capital purposes.
The Corporation has received an advance ruling from the Ministère du Revenu du Québec confirming that the Corporation is a qualified issuing corporation for the purpose of the Québec Stock Saving Plan ("QSSP II") and that the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offering are qualified shares for a QSSP II qualified mutual fund.
