MONTREAL, Jan. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Numbers Corp. (“Quantum”or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: QNC) is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing a total of 40,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $0.05 per Unit, for a total gross proceed of $2,000,000, to a number of strategic investors who add significant value to the Corporation’s cyber security initiatives. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one warrant of the Corporation. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.15 for a period of 12 months following the closing of the private placement. The securities issued in the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on May 16, 2021.
The net proceeds from the private placement will be used by Quantum to finance and accelerate development of its patented Quantum Random Number Generator technology.

The exemption is based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the private placement, nor the consideration paid by such Insiders exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Corporation.
As a result of the closing of the private placement, there are 100,527,838 common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding.
The private placement was carried out pursuant to prospectus exemptions of applicable securities laws and is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. Finder’s fees in an aggregate amount of $27,200 were paid in connection with the private placement.
