KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (“KWESST” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has, subject to all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), retained Hybrid Financial Ltd. (“Hybrid”) to provide marketing, market awareness and corporate broker services, pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Corporation and Hybrid dated as of November 24, 2020 (the “Hybrid Agreement”).

Hybrid Financial is a sale and distribution company working on behalf of clients in the financial services industry. Hybrid’s unique approach helps effectively and efficiently build brands and launch products on behalf of small, medium, and large clients. Offices in Toronto and Montréal allow Hybrid to comprehensively cover both United States and Canadian markets. Pursuant to the Hybrid Agreement, Hybrid has been retained by the Company for an initial period of six months. Upon expiration of the initial term, the Agreement shall be automatically renewed on a three-month basis (subject to termination by the Company by written notice). Hybrid will be responsible for assisting KWESST in all aspects of marketing campaigns for the Company in Canada and the US. Hybrid will be paid a fee in the amount of $22,500 per month. Steve Marshall will be the responsible person at Hybrid.

In conjunction, KWESST also announces it has applied for its common shares to be trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market (“OTCQB”), a US trading platform operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. The Company will provide further information once its common shares commence trading. The Company believes that trading on the OTCQB will provide additional liquidity and increase its visibility within the U.S. capital markets. KWESST will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under its symbol “KWE”. KWESST also expects to shortly apply for eligibility to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). DTC eligibility should widen the Company’s exposure and scope of opportunity in the US market.

KWESST also announces the issuance of 24,214 common shares at a price of $0.70 per share to AGORA Internet Relations Corp. (“AGORA”), for services rendered in the amount of $16,950 pursuant to the agreement with AGORA announced September 17, 2020.

Subject to the receipt of approval from TSX Venture, the Company has agreed to issue 67,143 common shares at price of $0.70 per share to settle these debts. All securities issued or issuable shall be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day. KWESST also has granted 50,000 options to an officer of the Company to purchase shares of KWESST at $0.70 per share on or before November 20, 2025.
