Carl Data Solutions Announces Closing of Initial Tranche of $2,000,000 Growth Financing Agreement With AIP Asset Management

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 06/30/16 — Further to its press release dated April 25, 2016, Carl Data Solutions Inc. (CSE: CRL)(FRANKFURT: 7C5) (“Carl” or the “Company”), a developer of Big-Data-as-a-Service (“BDaaS”) and Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) solutions for data collection and analysis, is pleased to announce that it has executed a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AIP Asset Management Inc. (“AIP”) pursuant to which Carl has agreed to issue certain funds of AIP (collectively, the “Holders”) senior secured collateralized convertible notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of CAD $2,000,000 (the “Offering”). The Company has received in escrow gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

In connection with the closing of the first tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Initial Notes”). Notes representing the balance of the $2,000,000 (the “Additional Notes”) will be issued upon satisfaction of the various closing conditions as set out in the Agreement.

The Notes are due and payable two years from their respective date of issue, and will bear an interest rate of 10% per annum calculated and payable monthly, in advance. At the option of the Holders, the Notes will be convertible into common shares of the Company (each, a “Share”) at a conversion price of $0.45 per Share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement.

If, at any time following four months after the issue date of any Note, the closing price per Share is at least $0.75 per Share for 30 consecutive days with a daily weighted average trading volume of more than 400,000 Shares, the Company may force the conversion of one half of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the “Initial Conversion”).

After the first anniversary of the issuance of the Notes, the Company, at its option, may prepay, without notice or penalty, the principal amount of all of the outstanding Notes in full or in part, together with any accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, the Company issued 400,000 bonus Shares to the purchasers of the Initial Notes. The Company has paid AIP a $100,000 closing fee concurrently with the issuance of the Initial Notes and certain other consideration as provided in the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed on SEDAR.

Proceeds from the Notes will be used for the development of the Company–s BDaaS technology, for further development of the FlowWorks application, sales and marketing, and for general working capital purposes.

Greg Johnston, CEO of Carl, commented, “We–re very pleased to have entered into the Agreement and closed the first tranche of the Offering with AIP. It is great to have the confidence of a long-term strategic investor that has expressed an intention to support Carl as we grow. The additional capital will allow Carl to accelerate our business plan by way of acquisitions, the launch of new applications, and expansion of our BDaaS and IoT technology.”

All securities issued or issuable in connection with the Offering are or will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring on the date that is four months and one day after the distribution date.

None of the securities issued or issuable in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. 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.
