TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2021

Additional Capital will Drive Accelerated Sales and Product Development

TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2021 /CNW/ - Redline Communications Group Inc. ("Redline Communications" or the "Company") (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of mission-critical data infrastructure for remote and harsh environments, announces today it has entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Edgepoint Wealth Management ("Edgepoint") and two existing investors. The Company intends to use the proceeds to further drive new product development as well as to expand the sales and marketing efforts to drive increased revenues.

Terms of the CDN$7,000,000 term loan facility include: 10% interest rate, serviced with interest-only payments for the entire three-year term (only the first year interest is guaranteed), and the issuance of 3,500,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one common share of the Company for a period of three years from the date hereof, at exercise prices of: (i) CDN$0.65 per common share with respect to one-third of the Warrants; (ii) CDN$0.75 per common share with respect to one-third of the Warrants, and (iii) CDN$0.85 per common share with respect to one-third of the Warrants. One insider of the Company is being issued 670,500 Warrants (so as to maintain its pro rata ownership percentage) and the issuance of Warrants to such insider will not materially affect control of the Company.

Redline Communications CEO, Richard Yoon, commented, "We are grateful for the support we have received from Edgepoint and certain existing investors. The proceeds from this facility will enable Redline to accelerate sales and drive product innovation. As we noted in our Q3 2021 earnings release last week, we are hitting some notable milestones in our financial performance including a gross margin of 66%, the second highest in the Company's history and a backlog of orders of $12.5 million which is the highest it has been in six years."

Commented Lee Matheson, partner at Edgepoint Investment Group,"Redline appears to us to be at a critical stage in its development as market acceptance of its solutions is clearly building. The proceeds from this facility should ensure that Redline has the ability to fully capitalize on the opportunity in front of it. Edgepoint has a long history of providing long-term, stable capital to high-growth, high potential companies and we are happy to now include Redline in this portfolio."
