Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 18, 2022) - Mijem Newcomm Tech Inc. (CSE: MJEM), the Canada-based social media and technology company, announces that it has appointed Sophic Capital Inc. ("Sophic Capital" or "Sophic") as its Capital Markets advisor. Sophic Capital is a comprehensive capital markets advisory firm and will focus on increasing Mijem's investor awareness by developing a comprehensive communications strategy and introducing the Company to investment advisors, investment dealers, institutions and other financial professionals.
"Through their other client relationships, Sophic Capital has extensive knowledge of the nuances required to build a business directed at Gen Z, Mijem's targeted market," said Mijem founder and CEO Phuong Dinh. "After comparing several capital markets advisory firms, Mijem decided that Sophic Capital could best communicate our market opportunity and growth strategy to institutional and retail investors throughout North America as well as introduce us to capital markets professionals."
"Prior to the pandemic, Mijem achieved market penetration with their Gen Z community buy & sell app across North American campuses," said Sophic Capital President and CEO Sean Peasgood. "Now that students in the U.S. are returning to university and college, Mijem is continuing to build their user base with proven methods. The Company dovetails perfectly with other issuers we work with, and we look forward to increasing shareholder visibility and building on the recent momentum in the business. On behalf of the partners at Sophic Capital, I'd like to thank Mijem for their vote of confidence."
Mijem's engagement with Sophic Capital is on a fee for services basis of $8,000 per month. In addition, Sophic Capital has been granted options to purchase up to 427,951 shares of Mijem at a price of $0.25 per share. The options will vest quarterly in three tranches of 106,988 each and one tranche of 106,987. The total options outstanding are now 2,675,957 and represent approximately 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares. The options are governed by the provisions of the Company's stock option plan and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").
The Company also announces that it has engaged the services of Independent Trading Group ("ITG") to provide market-making services in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange TSVX, CSE and Neo policies. ITG will trade shares of the Company on the CSE with the objective of maintaining a reasonable market and improving the liquidity of the Company's common shares.
