In connection with the initial public offering in the United States, AcuityAds has filed an application to list its common shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “AT”. Trading of AcuityAds’ common shares is expected to commence on Nasdaq following pricing of the offering. AcuityAds’ common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “AT”.

A total of US$50 million of common shares will be offered for sale by the Company in the offering, which will be conducted through a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity and Needham & Company, who are acting as joint lead book-running managers and representatives of the underwriters for the offering. RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities Inc. are also acting as book-running managers for the proposed offering (collectively, the “Underwriters”). The offering will be priced in the context of the market with terms, including the price and total size of the offering, to be determined at the time of entering into an underwriting agreement for the offering.

AcuityAds will also grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of the closing of the offering, to purchase up to US$7.5 million of additional common shares, representing in the aggregate 15% of the total number of common shares to be sold pursuant to the offering.

AcuityAds currently expects that the net proceeds of the offering will be used primarily to strengthen the Company’s financial position and allow the Company to pursue its growth strategies.
