VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Venzee Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VENZ) ("Venzee" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has completed a non-brokered private placement consisting of the issuance of 36,363,636 units of the Company at a price of $0.055 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000 as announced by the Company on December 1, 2020 and updated on December 11, 2020.

The Company is very pleased by the support it received from Canadian investors with respect to the proceeds raised and continues to operate on-plan to meet market demand for intelligent technology to digitize and improve retail supply chain processes.

In such case, the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accelerate the expiry time of the warrants to a date that is 30 days following the date of issuance of a press release by Venzee announcing its intention to accelerate the expiry time.

In connection with the private placement, the Company has agreed to pay finders' fees to certain registered brokerage firms, comprising the payment of an aggregate of $133,350 and the issuance of an aggregate of 2,424,545 compensation units upon the same terms and conditions as the units.
