Route1 Inc. (OTCQB: ROIUF and TSXV: ROI) (the 'Company' or 'Route1'), an advanced North American provider of data-centric business empowerment solutions, today announced that based on strong demand, the Company has closed its previously announced $3,000,000 private placement.

The $3,000,000 was raised by way of a non-brokered private placement (the 'Offering') of Units ('Units') of the Company at a price of $0.85 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of Route1 (the 'Common Share') and one Common Share Purchase Warrant (the 'Warrant'). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share for a period of 18 months at a price of $1.00 per share. The Company may accelerate the expiry dates of the Warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days following delivery of an acceleration notice if, at any time, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares equals or exceeds $1.50 for a period of 14 consecutive trading days on the TSXV. The Company paid cash finders' fees of $38,250 and 45,000 finder warrants on the same terms and conditions as those under the Offering. The securities issued are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada for a period of four months and one day from the Closing Date. Proceeds of the private placement will be used for growth and general corporate purposes. Lastly, 80,000 Units sold under the Offering and the finder warrants are subject to the Final Acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Certain portions of the Offering are being settled by delivery against payment and are expected to be completed by the end of the week.
