Network-troubleshooting software company Martello Technologies is hoping to raise $5 million on the markets as it looks to capitalize on surging demand for its products during the pandemic.
The Kanata company, which trades on the TSX Venture Exchange, said this week it has reached an agreement with Paradigm Capital on a bought-deal offering that will see Paradigm purchase 26.3 million units at a price of 19 cents each.
The units are a combination of new shares in Martello as well as future purchase warrants that must be exercised within two years of the deal’s closing date, which is expected to be March 18.

Martello posted revenues of $4.63 million for the three-month period ending Dec. 31, up from $2.88 million a year earlier. Revenues from its growing Microsoft sales channel rose 60 per cent year-over-year.
