FREDERICTON, New Brunswick, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextGen Digital Platforms Inc. (“NextGen” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed an oversubscribed non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”). The Company issued 2,070,000 common shares (each, a “Share”), at a price of CAD$0.10 per Share for gross proceeds of CAD$207,000.

Joel Freudman, President & CEO of NextGen, remarked, “We are pleased to have successfully closed the Financing despite generally challenging market conditions for venture-stage companies, raising in excess of our fundraising target. This achievement underscores the confidence investors have placed in our vision and capabilities. The funds secured through the Financing will bolster our financial position and support NextGen’s go-public process, alongside investing more in our existing micro-technology platforms PCSections.com and AI-as-a-Service (“AIaaS”).”

“The proceeds from the Financing will be instrumental in further developing our tech businesses, both of which are already revenue-generating,” added Kevin Zhou, NextGen’s Director of Platforms and Marketing. “NextGen has an established presence in e-commerce through PCSections.com, and a pathway to rapid expansion in the booming artificial intelligence sector through our AIaaS offering. Additionally, we are actively exploring opportunities to collaborate with or acquire other platforms. This infusion of capital enables us to continue our growth trajectory and expand our footprint in the digital landscape.”

The securities issued pursuant to the Financing have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. 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, such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
