March 16, 2020 9:00 AM EDT | Source: GOLO Mobile Inc.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2020) - GOLO Mobile Inc. (TSXV: GOLO) ("GOLO" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that on March 13, 2020, GOLO completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 12,055,335 units ("Units") of GOLO at a price of $0.253 per Unit to certain insiders and related parties of GOLO. Each Unit consisted of one Common Share and one half of one warrant to purchase a Common Share (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.45 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Private Placement.

GOLO intends to use the gross proceeds of the Private Placement of approximately $3,050,000 to: (i) fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the Company's previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of eServus.com Online Services Ltd. (the "Acquisition"); (ii) pay transaction costs for the Acquisition and Private Placement of approximately $250,000; and (iii) fund general working capital requirements of the combined business following completion of the Acquisition.

The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a four-month trade restriction which will expire July 14, 2020.

For additional information about the Acquisition and the Private Placement (including, without limitation, the related party transaction disclosure required by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions), please see the Company's press release dated February 25, 2020, which is available at www.sedar.com.
