VANCOUVER, BC – June 7, 2021 – TIMIA Capital Corporation (“TIMIA” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:TCA/OTCQB:TIMCF) today announces that it has originated four investment facilities for four growing software companies for an aggregate value of approximately $7.6 million. 

The first investment facility of US$4.0 million (C$4.88 million) has been extended to a US-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) company and existing client of TIMIA’s wanting to increase their original facility. The SaaS company has continued to grow, posting strong operating results, and has successfully met TIMIA performance milestones triggering an increase to the amount of accessible capital. The revised investment facility included a new disbursement of US$1.0 million (C$1.22 million) which has been advanced.

Two of the other three investment facilities are for US$1.5 million (C$1.83 million) each, while the third investment facility is US$2.5 million (C$3.05 million) all made to US-based SaaS companies. Two of these facilities include initial disbursements of US$500,000 (C$610,000), and the other includes an initial disbursement of US$1 million (C$1.22 million), all of which have been advanced. 

The four investment facilities announced today include additional disbursements that may be made upon certain milestones being met over the term of the agreement. The source of non-dilutive capital for the four investment facilities is primarily from the Company’s Limited Partnership II (“LP II”).

“We are putting $7.6 million to work with four high-quality successful SaaS companies through four revenue-based loan facilities,” said Mike Walkinshaw, CEO of TIMIA.  “TIMIA continues to see strength in the software-as-a-service sector and other verticals within the technology sector with many revenue generating technology companies requiring growth capital. Our automated loan origination platform can identify successful entrepreneurs seeking non-dilutive growth capital, while at the same time lowering transaction costs and increasing credit quality. We continue to see growth in our sales pipeline and our origination team is working diligently to close additional investments to increase our total assets under management throughout the rest of the year. ”    

TIMIA has originated six investment facilities totalling US$10.0 million (C$12.4 million) in the first half of fiscal 2021. Two investments were announced in January 2021 and included facilities in the amount of US$2.5 million and US$1.25 million respectively. As with most of TIMIA investment facilities, additional disbursements may be made upon certain milestones being met over the term of the agreement. 

In addition, the Company is pleased to report pursuant to the Normal Course Issuer Bid announced February 24, 2021 for the purchase of up to 3.3 million common shares, it has purchased for cancellation 443,500 commons shares through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange and alternative trading systems at a weighted average price of $0.24 for a total consideration of $106,840. 

TIMIA has developed a proprietary, scalable, technology-driven fintech platform to originate investments and earn higher risk-adjusted returns. The Company is driving growth by identifying revenue producing SaaS growth companies for investment by TIMIA’s LP II through non-dilutive investment facilities. 

TIMIA invites growing SaaS companies, seeking innovative and non-dilutive financing, to register through the TIMIA fintech platform. Under a revenue-based origination model, TIMIA matches non-dilutive capital to SaaS businesses with recurring revenue streams, allowing the company to make monthly payments, made up of a combination of principal and interest, with a repayment schedule sculpted to its revenue streams. The amounts advanced are secured and may be repaid early.
