Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2026) - Keek Social Inc. (TSXV: KEEK) (OTC Pink: PRSNF) ("Keek" or the "Company"), a Toronto-based social media and live streaming platform, today announced a non-brokered private placement offering of units of the Company for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 CAD.

Offering Details

The offering will consist of units of the Company at a price of 3.00 CAD for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

The Company expects to close the offering in one or more tranches, subject to customary closing conditions including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Use of Proceeds

The Company will require the successful completion of this financing to be able to continue to fund ongoing operations and to execute on its sales and marketing plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the offering on the terms announced, or at all.

Net proceeds from the offering will be used to fund sales and marketing efforts as the Company executes its strategic shift to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model.

Strategic Rationale: Solving the Creator Fee Problem

The Company's transition to a SaaS model directly addresses a critical pain point faced by content creators globally:

• 250 million content creators worldwide
• 50 million "significant" creators who pay tens of thousands of dollars annually in platform fees
• Existing platforms charge inflated, unpopular fees that erode creator earnings

Keek's Solution:

• Three flat-rate monthly subscriptions to the Keek platform
• Zero platform fees on creator earning and tips,
• Creators keep substantially more of what they earn

The Company believes this model will disrupt the current landscape by aligning Keek's success with creator success, rather than extracting excessive fees from the creator economy.

Creator Acquisition Strategy

Keek will work with online creator agencies to bring hundreds of thousands of creators onboard efficiently and at scale. These agency partnerships are expected to accelerate user adoption and drive platform growth.
