Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 16, 2024) - CISCOM Corp. (CSE: CISC) (OTCQB: CISCF) ("Ciscom" or the "Company"), which actively invests in, acquires, and manages companies within the Information and Communication Technology ("ICT") sector with a specialty in AdTech and MarTech, is pleased to announce that it has retained the services of Phoenix Corporate Finance Inc. ("Phoenix") as its corporate financing agent to provide strategic and corporate advisory services, including securing non-dilutive credit facilities in support of its M&A activities.

Pursuant to the engagement, Phoenix has been retained to facilitate a senior term loan in the amount of $2,880,000 with a term of two years and a renewable acquisition financing facility in the amount of $10,000,000 for a term of one year, with no principal repayment on either facility until maturity.

"With the lower costs of funds, using a credit facility that is non-dilutive to shareholders is the best scenario for Ciscom. This will allow time for capital markets to reopen and be more favorable to smaller capital issuers like Ciscom. The Company is well-positioned to leverage these opportunities and deliver on its acquisitions mandate. We are focused and driving our competitive advantage in our mission to build shareholder value," reported Michel Pepin, President and CEO of Ciscom.

Ciscom continues to be in good standing with its banking partners, reflecting the Company's rigorous financial management and governance standards. Looking ahead, Ciscom is poised for further growth, with a focus on new acquisitions, client-centric services, and a commitment to operational excellence.
