Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 13, 2022) - YANGAROO Inc. (TSXV: YOO) (OTC Pink: YOOIF) ("Yangaroo", "Company"), a software leader in media asset workflow solutions for the advertising and entertainment industries, further to its press release on December 6, 2022, is pleased to announce the closing of its non-brokered, unsecured, convertible debentures (the "Debentures") for gross proceeds of CAD $500,000 (the "Offering").

The Offering

The Company completed the Offering to satisfy a condition of the National Bank of Canada ("NBC") that the Company complete a financing for gross proceeds of CAD $500,000 in order for NBC to provide an amendment to a loan agreement related to all credit facilities of the Company held with NBC (the "Loan Agreement").

The terms of the Offering and Debentures are as disclosed in the press release issued on December 6, 2022. The Offering, including each term of the Debentures, received the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") prior to closing but are subject to the final approval of the Exchange. Although the Debentures are non-transferable, in the event that the Debentures are converted prior April 13, 2022 (the "Hold Period"), the underlying common shares will be subject to the remainder of the Hold Period.

The NBC Loan Amendment

As previously disclosed, the Company was in breach of its financial covenants pursuant to the Loan Agreement. As the Company has satisfied the condition of completing the Offering, the Company and NBC have entered into an amending loan facility agreement (the "Amendment"), which amends certain terms, such as the termination of certain of the credit facilities, a six-month principal holiday period beginning on January 1, 2023 during which the Company is required to pay interest only on its term loan facility, an increase in the interest rate from National Bank Prime Rate plus 2.45% to National Bank Prime Rate plus 4.45% on its term loan facility, and the amendment of certain financial covenants and ratios and reporting requirements. As a result of the Amendment, the Company is now in good standing with respect to its obligations to NBC.

Subscribers to the Offering were required to execute a Subordination and Postponement Agreement in favour of NBC with respect to the Debentures until any and all amounts owing by Yangaroo to NBC are repaid and the Subordination and Postponement Agreements are terminated by NBC. During the term of the Subordination and Postponement Agreements, the Company may not make any principal payments to the holders of the Debentures in the form of cash. The Company will be permitted to pay interest on the Debentures in either cash or by way of issuance of common shares (at its discretion but subject to the policies and the approval of the Exchange in each instance) unless the Company is in default of the Amendment, in which event no such interest payments nor a conversion of the Debentures shall be permitted.

Insider Participation in Offering

As certain directors of the Company participated in the Offering, the Offering is considered a "related party" transaction subject to and in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Company relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and (b) and 5.7(1)(a) and (b) of MI 61-101.

Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, a related party, has had knowledge of any material information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.

The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering because the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.

Early Warning Disclosure

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 250 Debentures to Mr. H Shepard Boone, a director of the Company, directly and indirectly, for total consideration of $250,000.

Immediately prior to the completion of the Offering, Mr. Bonne had ownership and/or control of 10,351,679 common shares of the Company on an undiluted basis and 10,386,679 common shares of the Company on a partially diluted basis, representing 16.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on an undiluted basis and 16.7% on a partially diluted basis. Following the completion of the Offering, Mr. Boone continued to have ownership and/or control of 10,351,679 common shares of the Company, representing 16.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on an undiluted basis. Assuming the exercise of the Debentures, Mr. Boone would have ownership and/or control, directly or indirectly, of 12,921,679 common shares of the Company, representing 19.93% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a partially diluted basis.

Mr. Boone's acquisition of the Debentures was made for investment purposes and Mr. Boone intends to increase or decrease his holdings in the Company depending on market conditions and as circumstances warrant.
