NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2022) - Everyday People Financial Inc. ("Everyday People", "EP" or the "Company"), a Canadian-based financial technology and consumer financing company, is pleased to announce that it intends, subject to market conditions and other usual conditions, to offer up to $5 million principal amount of 12% Unsecured Medium Term Notes (the "Notes") with a 2-year term to maturity ("the Offering"). The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 28, 2022.

Currently, $2,000,000 of the Offering has been committed by EAM Enterprises Inc., as a lead order. EAM Enterprises Inc. currently holds 20.87% of issued and outstanding shares in the share capital of EP.

"Funding committed by our existing shareholder EAM is an indication of the confidence it has in the unique market position and strategy that EP is pursuing, and in the ability of our management team to execute on our specialty financing programs designed for people that otherwise have challenges to access credit when they need it," said Barret Reykdal, President and CEO of Everyday People.

The net proceeds will be used as funding for the Company's EP Homes division and its homeownership programs, working capital and EP Financial's specialty credit card financing. The borrowers of such specialty financing and homeownership programs offered by EP Homes typically are clients with good credit ratings and capacity to pay but lack sufficient capital or collateral to obtain prime rates, as well as non-prime clients that do not meet the lending criteria of traditional lending institutions.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of notes or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
