Intermap Technologies Meets Standards to Trade on the OTCQX® Best Market

Begins trading today, creating more liquidity, transparency and opportunity

DENVER, Colo., Feb. 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Intermap Technologies Corp. (TSX: IMP) (OTCQX: ITMSF) ("Intermap" or the "Company"), today announced it meets the standards to trade on the OTCQX^® Best Market. Intermap begins trading today on the OTCQX under the symbol "ITMSF." U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the Company on www.otcmarkets.com.

Upgrading to the OTCQX Best Market from the Pink^® Market is an important step for Intermap to provide transparent and liquid trading for U.S. investors. The Company meets the high financial standards, follows best practice corporate governance and demonstrates compliance with applicable securities laws. Trading on the OTCQX Market will enable investors to easily trade through the broker of their choice. These streamlined market standards enable Intermap to utilize its home market reporting to make financial information available in the U.S.

As the country's largest provider of authoritative, quality 3D data, used for terrain navigation and modeling by governments, insurance companies, financial intermediaries, telecommunications companies, aviation, drone, and space-based operators, this step expands Intermap's exposure to U.S. capital, which will finance the industry's rapid transition to elevation data-as-a-service (EDaaS). The demand for military-grade 3D data and real-time analytics is accelerating, and Intermap is well-positioned to meet demand. Increasing access to capital comes at a promising inflection point as the Company continues to:

• Commercialize its technology and 3D library, creating leading products and solutions
• Offer military-grade solutions powered by global 3D data collected, processed and delivered as a service
• Democratize data, offering non-expert users the ability to subscribe to geospatial solutions

"Your World. Made Simple."

Trading on the OTCQX will:

• Attract more institutional and retail investors, broadening Intermap's investor base
• Increase Company visibility, including growth plans, technical achievements and results
• Empower the Company to execute on value-maximizing transactions
• Increase liquidity of the Company's common shares; and
• Boost the Company's profile among investors, customers and partners

"The OTCQX provides greater liquidity and more exposure for emerging companies like ours," said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap's Chairman and CEO. "It is a big step up from the Pink^® Market, where we used to trade in the U.S. Today's move is part of our long-term plan to expand Intermap's access to capital and lead our industry's transition to provisioning elevation data as-a-service. At the same time, we are providing more liquidity for existing shareholders and creating more opportunity for exposure to new U.S. investors."

Intermap drove significant growth in 2020, including new partnerships, software subscriptions, product development, and customer wins. Here are some highlights:

• Eliminated $33.9 million of debt in exchange for $1 million in cash
