Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2023) - Tenet Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTC Pink: PKKFF) ("Tenet" or the "Company"), an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) service provider and operator of the Business Hub™, today announced that it has entered into an engagement letter (the "Engagement Letter") with Research Capital Corporation ("RCC" or the "Agent") dated March 15, 2023 in connection with a private placement offering (the "Offering") of a minimum of 1,000 units and a maximum of 2,500 units of non-secured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of a minimum of $10,000,000 and a maximum of $25,000,000.

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, RCC will act as lead agent and sole bookrunner on a best-efforts basis for the Offering. The Company will also grant to RCC an over-allotment option to offer up to an additional 15% of units or up to an additional 375 units.

Each unit (a "Unit") of the Offering is comprised of $10,000, face value, of non-secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") and 10,000 warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of $2.00 per share any time prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Debentures will mature twenty-four (24) months from the date of their issuance (the "Maturity Date"), and the Warrants will expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of their issuance (the "Expiry Date"). The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in cash. Interest shall be paid by Tenet monthly, starting on the last day of the first month following the date of issuance of the Debentures.

From the date of issue until the Expiry Date, unless automatically converted, investors may elect to convert, in whole or in part, the face value of the Debentures into Common Shares of the Company at the lower of $1.00 per Common Share or the price per unit or per common share sold by Tenet in the course of any financing that takes place prior to the date on which the Debentures are so converted. At any time prior to the Expiry Date, if the Common Shares trade at a price of $1.50 or more for three (3) consecutive trading days, the then remaining face value of the Debentures will be automatically converted into Common Shares at the lower of $1.00 per Common Share or the price per unit or per common share sold by Tenet in the course of any Offering that takes place prior to the date on which the Debentures are so converted.

The Company shall pay RCC a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company will grant RCC warrants entitling RCC to purchase a number of Units, equal to 7.0% of the gross amount of the Offering sold, at a price of $1.00 per Unit for a period of to 24 months following the closing date of the Offering (the "Agent Warrants"). Each Agent Warrant shall be exercisable into one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $2.00 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.

The Units will be eligible for RRSP, RESP, RRIF, TFSA and DPSP accounts within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), subject to certain qualifications, and will be offered and sold by private placement in Canada to "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions and other exempt purchasers under the applicable securities laws.

The securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering. The Offering is expected to close on or about April 7, 2023. Tenet and the Agent may close the Offering in multiple rounds until the maximum gross amount of $25,000,000 is reached. Tenet is expected to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital related to its Canadian operations, although part of the proceeds may also be allocated to growing its Chinese operations, or such other matters as may be deemed by the Company. The Offering is intended to provide Tenet with the short-term capital it needs to execute its business plan, while its short form prospectus offering of up to $30,000,000 continues to be under review by the Ontario Securities Commission. Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions precedent including compliance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
