TORONTO, March 10, 2022 /CNW/ - Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSX: PAT) (OTCQX: PTOTF) (FRANKFURT: 0PL) ("Patriot One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an engagement letter with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Agent has agreed to conduct a marketed public offering of units (the "Units") on a commercially reasonable efforts basis for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $10 million (the "Offering"). The Unit terms and price of the Offering will be determined in the context of the market. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.

The Company has granted the Agent an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15%, exercisable in whole or in part at any time, for a period of 30 days after and including the Closing Date (as defined herein).

The Units will be offered by way of a prospectus supplement to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated January 5, 2022 to be filed in all provinces and territories of Canada except Québec. The Units may also be offered in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to applicable exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and applicable state securities laws, and in other offshore jurisdictions provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises. The Offering is expected to close on or about March 17, 2022 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the applicable securities regulatory authorities.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to issue or pay to the Agent: (i) a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering (including any gross proceeds raised on exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), other than in respect of gross proceeds raised from purchasers on the president's list, for which the Agent will receive a commission equal to 3.5%; and (ii) an aggregate number of agent's warrants (the "Agent's Warrants") equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering (including any Units issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), other than in respect of Units sold to purchasers on the president's list, for which the Agent will receive Agent's Warrants equal to 3.5%.

Patriot One intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and applicable state securities laws.
