Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 8, 2024) - QYOU Media Inc. (TSXV: QYOU) ("QYOU" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units of the Company ("Units"), as announced on January 16, 2024, January 22, 2024 and February 6, 2024 (the "Offering"). The Company issued 10,999,571 Units at a price of $0.07 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $769,970 in the final tranche of the Offering, bringing the total size of the Offering to 26,299,571 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1,840,970.

Each Unit is composed of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one (1) common share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one (1) additional Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months, subject to an accelerated expiry date at the option of the Company in the event that the ten (10) day volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for any ten (10) consecutive trading days is $0.25 or more.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to build out its Maxamtech and QGamesMela gaming business, and for general working capital purposes.

The Units issued under the Offering were offered to purchasers pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (LIFE) under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions and therefore the securities issued to such purchasers in the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an offering document (the "Offering Document") related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and at www.qyoumedia.com.

In connection with the final tranche of the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $46,898 and issued finder's warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 669,970 Units on the same terms as the Units issued in the Offering (the "Finder's Warrants") as finder's fees to certain persons who assisted the Company with the final tranche of the Offering. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one (1) Unit, comprised of one (1) Share and one (1) Warrant, at a price of $0.07 per Unit for a period of twenty-four (24) months. The Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Finder's Warrants entitle the holder thereof to acquire one (1) Share at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months. The Finder's Warrants, and the Shares and Warrants underlying the Units which are issuable upon exercise of the Finder's Warrants, are subject to a statutory four-month hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSXV.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or U.S. persons absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an exemption therefrom. 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.
