MONTRÉAL
, Jan. 21, 2026 /CNW/ - Geekco Technologies Corporation(the "Corporation" or "Geekco") (TSX-V: GKO) is pleased to announce that it has closed as of January 20, 2026 the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"). Under the first tranche of Private Placement, the Corporation issued 10,000,000 units (the "Units" or each a "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 out of a maximum of $1,000,000 (or 20,000,000 Units). Each Unit consists of one (1) Class A share of the share capital of the Corporation (each a "Common Share") and one (1) warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one (1) additional Common Share at the revised price of $0.05 for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance.
The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for its marketing campaign, the development and continuous improvement of its application and for general and working capital purposes.
Intermediaries may receive a cash commission of up to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of subscriptions for the Private Placement submitted by this intermediary; and a commission in the form of intermediary warrants for an equivalent number of up to 7% of the number of Units issued under the Private Placement from subscriptions submitted by this intermediary. Each intermediary warrant will have the same terms as the Warrants included in the Units. In connection with the first tranche of the Private Placement, an aggregate of $27,125 has been paid in cash and 542,500 of such intermediary warrants have been issued to intermediaries, all dealing at arm's length with the Corporation.
All securities issued within the Private Placement are subject to a four-month and one-day resale restriction period from the closing date of the Private Placement. The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and any other applicable regulatory approvals.
Under the Private Placement, André Godin, Chairman of the Board of the Corporation, subscribed directly to 150,000 Units for gross proceeds of $7,500. His shareholding was reduced by approximately 0.1% to reach approximately 2.4% on an undiluted basis after closing of the Private Placement (and reduced by approximately 0.3% to reach approximately 5.0% on a partly diluted basis). Such transaction is a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument ("MI 61-101") and is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the Corporation's securities are listed on the TSXV and the fair market value of any security issued to, or the consideration paid, does not exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization. The Corporation did not file a material change report pertaining to the insider's interest more than 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement, as the details of this insider's participation had not been confirmed at that time. The board members of the Corporation unanimously, but excluding André Godin, reviewed the state of the financial market and determined that the terms and conditions of the Private Placement, including the subscription of the related party, were fair and equitable and represented the best strategic financing option available. In addition, neither the Corporation nor the said related party has knowledge of any material information concerning the Corporation or its securities that have not been generally disclosed.
