VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 30, 2020 /CNW/ - First Responder Technologies Inc. ("First Responder" or the "Company") (CSE: WPN) (OTCQB: WPNNF) (FWB: 3WK), a leading developer of public safety and security technologies, announced the following updates today. 

Update on Previously Announced Non-Brokered Private Placement

The Company will not proceed with the CDN$1,000,000 non-brokered private placement previously announced on October 6, 2020 and will be returning the funds received.

Postponement of Annual General Meeting

The Company announces that, due to the challenges related to COVID-19 and the recent changes to the Company's board of directors, the Company's management determined that it is in the best interest of shareholders to postpone the Company's 2020 annual general meeting ("AGM"). The Company has been granted an extension (of up to six months with an outside date of June 30, 2021) by the BC Registrar of Companies, which will allow the Company sufficient time to prepare the required information circular and communicate effectively with shareholders on material matters. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and, in due course, will set a date for its next AGM and will file a notice of meeting and record date on the Company's website and under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The Company also announces that it has cancelled its previously announced AGM that was to be held on December 10, 2020. The management information circular dated November 10, 2020, which was mailed to all shareholders as of the record date on November 9, 2020, is null and void.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

"Robert F. Delamar"
