Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2020) - HIRE Technologies Inc. (TSXV: HIRE) ("HIRE" or the "Company"), a company focused on modernizing and digitizing the fragmented staffing industry, is pleased to announce that, due to overwhelming demand from investors, it has added a follow-on financing (the "Follow-On Offering") of up to an additional $3,000,000 over its previously announced $1,000,000 non-brokered private placement financing (the "Initial Offering") for combined gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000. Under both offerings, the Company proposes to issue units at $0.60 per unit with each unit consisting of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant with each whole warrant exercisable for one common share for a period of 24 months at $0.90 per common share.

The proceeds from the Follow-On Offering, and any net proceeds from the Initial Offering not used to complete the proposed acquisition of Kavin Talent Management & Recruiting ("KTMR"), will be used to fund acquisitions and for use as working capital to deliver on the Company's strategic plan.

For further information about the Initial Offering and the KTMR acquisition, please see the Company's press release dated November 24, 2020.

Under both offerings, the Company may pay eligible finders a fee consisting of: (i) a cash payment equal to 6.5% of the gross proceeds raised from the offering; and (ii) non-transferable finders' warrants entitling the holder to purchase that number of common shares as is equal to 6.5% of the units, in each case, attributable to units purchased by subscribers introduced to the Company by eligible finders (the "Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant is exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.60 per common share until 24 months after closing.

The Initial Offering and Follow-On Offering are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and any applicable securities regulatory authorities. All securities issued in connection with the Initial Offering and Follow-On Offering will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period in Canada.
