AcuityAds Holdings Inc. (TSX:AT, OTCQX:ACUIF) (“AcuityAds” or the “Company”), a technology leader that provides targeted digital media solutions enabling advertisers to connect intelligently with audiences across all digital advertising channels, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amended loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, the bank of the world’s most innovative companies. This amended loan agreement provides up to approximately US$21.85 million of capital to AcuityAds, an increase from US$18 million previously, for working capital and general corporate purposes, subject to customary conditions.

This amended loan agreement includes increased availability under a revolving credit facility that will now mature on April 1, 2022, and a term loan facility that matures 48 months following the applicable drawdown date.  The proceeds from the term loans will be used to repay the Company’s existing $5 million of 12% subordinated debt and for general corporate purposes.
