Facedrive Inc. ("Facedrive") (TSXV:FD), (OTC:FDVRF), a Canadian "people-and-planet first" tech ecosystem, announced today that key executives of the company have voluntarily agreed with the Company to extend the lock-up period of their shares ("Lockup Period").
Sayan Navaratnam – Chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of Facedrive – has extended the Lockup Period for all Facedrive shares that he owns (both directly and indirectly) by two years to March 31, 2023, meaning all of his shares will only gradually begin releasing from lock-up on that date over 18 months (at a rate of 15 percent every 90 days). Similarly, Junaid Razvi, Executive Vice President and Suman Pushparajah, Chief Operating Officer (with all of the aforementioned, including Mr. Navaratnam, being "Key Executives") have also extended their Lockup Period in respect of all shares held by them (both directly and indirectly) by one year to March 31, 2022, meaning all such shares will only gradually begin releasing from lock-up on that (at a rate of 15 percent every 90 days) over 18 months. All of the Locked-Up Shares belonging to said Key Executives total 46.57 million common shares ("Key Executive Shares") in the Company. Collectively, the Key Executive Shares account for approximately 49% of Facedrive’s total issued and outstanding shares.
As the Lockup Period approached an end, the Key Executives voluntarily agreed to extend the applicable Share Lockup Period to demonstrate their continued belief in the mission of the company and the opportunity ahead. This voluntary action signals the commitment of Facedrive’s Key Executives to the company’s long term success and further aligns the interests of the individuals to those of the company.
"My leadership team and I are very pleased to extend our share lock-up period – as a way to demonstrate to the investors that have put their faith in us – of our conviction in the opportunity ahead for our Verticals and, particularly, our TraceSCAN, Facedrive Foods and Steer businesses. We all realize we are on the cusp of something great, and our only objective is to continue pushing forward our ESG mandate while building long-term sustainable value for our employees, partners and shareholders", said Sayan Navaratnam, CEO and Chairman of Facedrive. "As the initial lock-up period came to an end, we felt it was necessary to assure the market that we had no plans to sell our shares and that we are all in this for the long term. Markets can be irrational, and we continue to keep our focus on building products that deliver true value to our customers and partners."
