The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 19, 2021 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. Payfare has received conditional listing approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") for the listing of the Common Shares being issued and sold pursuant to the Offering. Listing remains subject to Payfare fulfilling customary TSX requirements. The Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX under the symbol "PAY" on the Closing Date.
