Mumbai, India and Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2021) - QYOU Media Inc. (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF), announced today an extension to its previously announced investment from Brand Capital International (BCI), the strategic investment arm of Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd ("BCCL" or "The Times Group"), India's largest media conglomerate. As previously announced, an affiliate of Brand Capital International has agreed to an initial investment of US$2 million in common shares of QYOU Media at a price of C$0.32 per share, subject to the approval of the Reserve Bank of India, with an option to invest an additional US$6 million in common shares of QYOU Media. The completion of the investment was subject to, among other things, the approval of the Reserve Bank of India ("RBI") by June 10, 2021. BCCL has been working with the RBI to secure the approval and is in the process of responding to certain routine information requests from RBI. As a result of the delay in obtaining RBI approval, the parties have agreed to extend the deadline for RBI approval from June 10, 2021 to July 12, 2021.

Additionally, as previously announced, as part of the initial investment, Brand Capital International will also be granted the additional right (the "Additional Purchase Right"), exercisable between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022, to purchase a further US$2 million of common shares. The price per share of the Additional Purchase Right will be equal to the greater of (i) the Applicable Discounted Price (as defined below) based on the volume weighted-average price of the common shares of QYOU Media on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for a period of twenty consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the date of the notice of exercise of such purchase right; and (ii) $0.42. The "Applicable Discounted Price" shall mean a discount of (i) 25% if the applicable closing price of common shares of QYOU Media is C$0.50 or less; (ii) 20% if the applicable closing price of common shares of QYOU Media is between C$0.51 and C$2.00; and (iii) 15% if the applicable closing price of common shares of QYOU Media is C$2.01 or above.
