TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – June 08, 2016) – Siyata Mobile Inc. (the “Company” or “Siyata”) (TSX VENTURE: SIM) (OTC PINK: SIMFF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of Signifi Mobile Inc. (“Signifi”).
Signifi is a Montreal-based company that manufactures, markets, and sells Uniden® cellular signal boosters and accessories across Canada and the United States. Signifi’s current sales come predominantly from Canada, while USA sales are growing and present a very large scale opportunity. The demand for cellular boosters in businesses, homes, and vehicles demonstrates huge market opportunity due to the volume of users that experience weak or inconsistent cell phone coverage.
Signifi sells to cellular dealers across Canada that specialize in providing solutions to consumers and corporations in remote areas looking for better coverage; quite often Signifi sells to the same end users as Siyata, including RCMP and government offices. With a reciprocal portfolio of products, Signifi brings an established North American component to Siyata’s growth strategy.
Effective on the closing of the acquisition, the Company will be moving its head office to Montreal.
Siyata CEO Marc Seelenfreund states, “We are extremely excited to finalize our acquisition of Signifi. With their comprehensive portfolio of innovative cellular boosters marketed under the Uniden® brand, Signifi’s business is highly complementary to ours and will allow us to grow our combined sales rapidly in North America. We also look forward to establishing our corporate headquarters in Montreal as we have a strong team in place there and this is an excellent location to attract talent for development and sales of our innovative technology.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the principals of Signifi (the “Selling Shareholders”) $200,000 and issued 1,402,612 common shares of Siyata (each, a “Siyata Share”).
