Gatekeeper Upsizes Financing to $6 Million, Accelerates Intelligent Temperature Sensing Systems for School Buses

 

Abbotsford, BC – September 9, 2020 – Gatekeeper Systems Inc. (‘Gatekeeper’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: GSI) (OTC: GKPRF) (FSE: 1GK) a leading provider of intelligent video solutions for public transport and smart cities, is pleased to announce that, due to increased interest in its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”), the Company has increased the size of the Financing from $5 million up to $6 million.

The Company intends to use a portion of the funds from the Financing to accelerate sales and delivery of the Company’s Intelligent Temperature Sensing Systems (ITSS) which has been designed to efficiently measure the body temperature of students while boarding a school bus or entering schools.

Doug Dyment, CEO of Gatekeeper, commented: “There is increasing interest from our school district customers for the use of ITSS as a solution to meet the various State authority guidelines relating to the safe reopening of public schools. For more than a decade we have delivered innovative technology-based solutions to over 3,000 school district customers to improve the safety of the 25 million schoolchildren who ride 500,000 school buses daily in the US alone. We are in constant dialogue with our school district customers to offer helpful solutions as they manage through this pandemic, and we are proud to launch ITSS as the industry’s best intelligent temperature sensing solution for school buses and transit authorities.”

ITSS is a contactless system that can determine body temperature within 20 milliseconds using thermal cameras, artificial intelligence, and video analytics. Visual and audible alarms are triggered when temperature thresholds are exceeded. When passengers board a bus, the ITSS panel records body temperature within a range of 0.6-meters at an accuracy of +/- 0.5 degree Celsius.

The Financing will now consist of up to 6,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $1.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $6 million. Each Unit in the Financing is comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $1.10 for a period of twenty-four (24) months. Should the stock price trade over $1.35 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants by providing notice to the holders of the Warrants by news release that the Warrants will expire on the date that is not less than 30 days from the date the notice is provided.

All securities issued in connection with the Financing are subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. Closing of the Financing remains subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
