VIQ Solutions Announces Closing of US$4.8 Million Private Placement

VIQ Solutions Inc. ("VIQ", “VIQ Solutions” or the "Company") (TSX and Nasdaq: VQS) today announces the closing of its previously announced private placement with a current U.S. institutional shareholder and a new U.S. institutional investor (collectively, the “Investors”) who purchased, in the aggregate, 3,551,852 common shares of VIQ and warrants to purchase up to 3,551,852 common shares of VIQ (the common shares and warrants, together the “Securities”), at a combined purchase price of US$1.35, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately US$4.8 million before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses. The warrants have an exercise price of US$1.39, are exercisable any time after January 21, 2023 and will expire on July 21, 2027.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as the sole placement agent for the offering.

VIQ intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for continuing development of product and service offerings, potential future acquisitions as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The offer and sale of the Securities was made in Canada on a prospectus exempt basis and in the United States in a transaction not involving a public offering, and the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. Under an agreement with the Investors, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of the common shares issued to the Investors (including the common shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than 75 days following the closing date of the offering in the event of a “full review” by the SEC.

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