CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Prospectus contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) that relate to the Company’s current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may”, “might”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “indicate”, “seek”, “believe”, “predict” or “likely”, or the negative or grammatical variations of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include such words. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes might affect its financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to:

  • uncertainties with respect to the effects of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 (“ COVID19 ”) will directly and indirectly have on the Company;

  • the Company’s expectations regarding its revenue, expenses and research and development operations;

  • the Company’s anticipated cash needs and its needs for additional financing;

  • the Company’s intention to grow its business and operations;

  • expectations with respect to future production costs and capacity;

  • expectations regarding the Company’s growth rates and growth plans and strategies;

  • expectations with respect to the approval of the Company’s license applications;

  • the Company’s competitive position and the regulatory environment in which the Company operates;

  • the Company’s business objectives for the next twelve months;

  • the Company’s plans with respect to the payment of dividends;

  • the Company’s ability to obtain additional funds through the sale of equity or debt instruments;

  • the ability of the Company’s products to access markets;

  • the Company’s ability to expand into international markets; and

  • the Company’s relationship with its distribution partners.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate and are subject to risks and uncertainties. In making the forward-looking statements included in this Prospectus, the Company has made various material assumptions, including but not limited to, the following: (i) the Company obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) that regulatory requirements will be maintained; (iii) general business and economic conditions; (iv) the Company’s ability to successfully execute its plans and intentions; (v) the availability of financing on reasonable terms; (vi) the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled staff; (vii) market competition; (viii) the products and technology offered by the Company’s competitors; (ix) the maintenance of the Company’s current good relationships with its suppliers, service providers and other third parties; (x) financial results, future financial position and expected growth of cash flows; (xi) business strategy, including budgets, projected costs, projected capital expenditures, taxes, plans, objectives, potential synergies and industry trends; (xii) research and development; (xiii) expectations concerning the

5

size and growth of the market using the Company’s products; and (xiv) the effectiveness of the Company’s products compared to its competitors’ products. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and the Company cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Whether actual results, performance or achievements will conform to the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors”, which include:

  • risks related to the operations and technology of the Company;

  • the ability of the Company to adapt to new technology;

  • risks related to the regulations applicable to the industries in which the Company will operate;

  • ability of the Company to recruit and retain management and other qualified personnel;

  • ongoing impact of COVID-19;

  • the ability of the Company to retain customer and fulfil contracts;

  • the ability of the Company to obtain new contracts or new customers;

  • the ability of the Company to build its brand;

  • the ability of the Company to expand sales and marketing;

  • the revenues and earnings of the Company may fluctuate from quarter to quarter;

  • the ability of the Company to raise additional capital;

  • the Company’s insurance coverage, if any, may be inadequate to cover potential losses, including any losses incurred by cyber attacks;

  • risks related to unexpected expenses;

  • the ability of the Company to manage growth;

  • any losses related to infringement;

  • risks related to conflicts of interest;

  • risks related to the stock market and market conditions;

  • the Company is not likely to pay dividends for an extended period of time;

  • risk related to the global financial developments; and

  • the Company may be subject to costly legal proceedings.

The above list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements of the Company. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if assumptions underlying the forwardlooking statements prove incorrect, actual results might materially vary from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements. The assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail under “Risk Factors” should be considered carefully by readers.

Certain of the forward-looking statements and other information contained herein concerning the printed and flexible electronics industry and the general expectations of the Company concerning the printed and flexible electronics industry and concerning the Company are based on estimates prepared by the Company using data from publicly available governmental sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which the Company believes to be reasonable. While the Company is not aware of any misstatement regarding any industry or government data presented herein, the printed and flexible electronics industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors and the Company has not independently verified such third-party information.

The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on the reasonable beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date of this Prospectus (or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made). Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to

6

differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management of the Company to predict all such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. See “Risk Factors”.

All of the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements. Investors should read this entire Prospectus and consult their own professional advisors to assess the income tax, legal, and other risk factors, and other aspects, of their investment.

THE COMPANY

Name, Address and Incorporation

The Company was incorporated under the BCBCA on September 2, 1983 as “Media Videotex Corp.” On May 15, 1987, September 4, 1990, July 2, 1996 and June 22, 2004, the Company changed its name to “New Century Resources Ltd.”, “A.I. Software Inc.”, “Network Gaming International Corp.” and “Network Exploration Ltd.”, respectively. On January 11, 2018, in connection with a reverse takeover transaction with YD Ynvisible, S.A., the Company changed its name to “Ynvisible Interactive Inc.”

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 830 – 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4A6 and its registered and records office is located at Suite 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7.

The Common Shares are listed on the TSXV under the trading symbol “YNV”, quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace in the United States under the trading symbol “YNVYF”, and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “1XNA”. The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Intercorporate Relationships

The Company has the following material subsidiaries:

  • YD Ynvisible, S.A., a company existing under the laws of Portugal and wholly-owned by the Company;

  • Ynvisible GmbH, a company existing under the laws of Germany and wholly-owned by Ynvisible, S.A.; and

  • Ynvisible Production AB, a company existing under the laws of Sweden and wholly-owned by the Company.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Ynvisible is a manufacturer that has developed and integrated know-how, design skill, development acumen, scale manufacturing capability, intellectual property in electrochromic display (“ ECD ”), materials, inks, display systems, and complementing electronic components. The Company is in an early market growth stage regarding sales of such products and services. The Company deploys a mix of products, services, materials, and intellectual property to service a diverse range of customers: fast-moving start-ups, steady and long-term companies within the Fortune 100 and 500, OEM & contract manufacturers, licensors, and the electronics hobbyist community. The Company’s primary market segments include medical devices, logistics, supply chain, and premium consumer products and packaging.

Ynvisible focuses on the marketing, sale, and development of ultra-low-power ECDs and devices, printable onto flexible substrates, using widely available industrial printing and converting techniques. The Company’s products are less complicated to integrate and are a more cost-effective replacement to conventional LCDs, electrophoretic displays (e-paper), and LED indicators. The Company’s vision is to bring everyday objects and surfaces to life, benefitting people in a smart and connected world. Ynvisible aims to be a leading company in the emerging printed and flexible electronics sector.

As a manufacturer within the Printed Electronics sector, the Company couples technology, design, and manufacturing to produce printed electronic displays and devices for its clients.

9

Ynvisible sells a mix of standard and customized ultra-low-power and easy-to-use electronic displays and indicators for everyday smart objects, IoT devices, and ambient intelligence (intelligent surfaces). The Company sells other products and services, including contracted research, prototyping, development, pilot production, production, and contract manufacturing services based on printed electronics, pilot and volume production of ECDs, and tailored ECD solutions.

In August 2019, the Company acquired Linköping Sweden-based Consensum AB and its high volume roll-to-roll production equipment, establishing Ynvisible Production AB, and entered the printed electronics production scale-up and contract manufacturing services business. The business is highly complementary to Ynvisible’s business in printed, electronic displays. The Company offers services for the production and quality control of other printed, electronic components (e.g., batteries, solar cells, sensors), and supports converters and end-use customers with the know-how of component integration into printed and hybrid flexible electronics systems.

Ynvisible develops printed ECDs for use in a wide range of smart products. The Company’s ECDs bring enhanced functionality to packaging (e.g. labels, containers), enable the design of lower power and more sustainable devices (e.g. digital thermometers, pregnancy tests), and bring scalability to small and large format displays (e.g. point of purchase retail, sports). ECDs act as visual indicators of product state and respond to human interaction with the product, thereby providing an interface to the Internet of Things.

Ynvisible has and is in process of carrying out development, pilot and commercial programs with brand owners, agencies, and contract manufacturers to integrate the Company’s ECDs in printed promotional materials, e.g. interactive point-of-sale posters and product selectors, direct mailings and greeting cards, name badges, magazine inserts, electronic devices, smart-labels, and packaging. ECD enables on-product interactions and branding features that enforce brand recall, such as on-pack animated and dynamic logos and branding. ECDs can also enhance the product’s user experience, product branding, brand authentication, and brand security.

Smart Labels are a crucial end application field for Ynvisible’s visual indicators, which offer useful information about a product and help ensure product quality or chain of custody integrity. Smart Labels can be placed on tertiary, secondary, and primary packaging, providing multiple touch-points to record and monitor critical information, like opening/tampering, excessive impacts, and temperature or humidity threshold crossings when integrated with different sensor types. The Company’s displays and Smart Label solutions provide time-and cost-saving advantages using timely and clear visual indications, without room for interpretation or intermediation through other complex devices.

In the past three years, the revenue mix of Ynvisible has included contracted research, prototyping, development, and contract production services. Historically, the most substantial revenue-generating segment of the Company has been the sale of research, development, and contract production services. The Company anticipates revenues from customized ECD development contracts will increase in the short term as the Company readies those customers for pilot and recurring, scale manufacturing, and manufacturer distribution in the medium term. The Company actively supports contract manufacturers and industryleading brands to bring OEM solutions containing Ynvisible’s displays to market. In-licensing technologies from partners such as RISE Acreo, a leading center of excellence in electrochromism and organic electronics applied research, support Ynvisible’s innovation pipeline.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company and/or any selling securityholders may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue Common Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities and Units. During such period, the Company may sell up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate, of initial offering price of Securities (or the equivalent amount if any Securities are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars).

The Company and/or any selling securityholders will sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers or purchasers directly or through agents. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” (as defined in NI 44-102).

A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name(s) of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price(s) of the Securities, the proceeds to the Company and/or any selling securityholders from the sale of Securities, any initial public offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis), any underwriting discount or commission and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or paid by any underwriter to other dealers. Any initial public offering price and any discounts, concessions or omissions allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under certain agreements to be entered into with the Company and/or any selling securityholders to indemnification by the Company and/or any selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation or to contribution with respect to payments that they may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for the Company and/or any selling securityholders in the ordinary course of business.

In connection with any offering of Securities other than an “at-the-market distribution”, unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of Securities offered at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

16

The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States, and each underwriter or agent for any offering of Securities will agree that it will not offer, sell or deliver the Securities within the United States, except pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder (“ Rule 144A ”) and in compliance with applicable state securities laws. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the offering of Securities, any offer or sale of such Securities within the United States by a dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons.

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS

Earnings coverage ratios will be provided as required in the applicable Prospectus Supplement(s) with respect to the issuance of Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the securities of the Company is speculative and subject to risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of any one or more of these risks or uncertainties could have a material

20

adverse effect on the value of any investment in the Company and the business, prospects, financial position, financial condition or operating results of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations.

Prospective investors should carefully consider all information contained in this Prospectus, including all documents incorporated by reference, and in particular should give special consideration to the risk factors under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the AIF, which is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and which may be accessed on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and the information contained in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information”. Additionally, purchasers should consider the risk factors set forth below.

The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus are not the only ones the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company currently deems not to be material, may also become important factors that affect the Company. If any such risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, with the result that the trading price of the Common Shares could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

No Existing Trading Market (other than for Common Shares)

There is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for such Securities after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between the Company and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Ongoing Impact of COVID-19

The development and operation of the Company’s business is dependent on labour inputs which could be adversely disrupted by the ongoing impact of COVID-19. The outbreak has resulted in governments implementing numerous measures to contain COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, particularly quarantines, shelter-in-place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. These containment measures are subject to change and the respective government authorities may tighten the restrictions at any time. The Company’s facilities continue to be operational and management is working closely with local regulatory bodies to ensure that the Company continues to meet and exceed the standards in markets in which the Company operates. While it is difficult to predict the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the Company’s business, measures taken by the Canadian and European governments and voluntary measures undertaken by the Company with a view to the safety of the Company’s employees, may adversely impact the Company’s business, for instance by impeding the labour required to produce, market and distribute the Company’s products and disrupting the Company’s critical supply chains. In addition, sales volumes of the Company’s products may be adversely impacted by consumer “social distancing” behaviours. Shelter-in-place orders and social distancing practices designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 may affect the Company’s business. The Company continues to dynamically monitor developments in order to adapt and respond in order to protect the health and safety of the Company’s employees and the best interests of the Company. As a result of further health guidelines or order, the Company may take actions that alter its business operations or take other steps as management determines

21

are in the best interests of the Company’s employees, customers, partners, suppliers, shareholder and other stakeholders. Any such alterations or actions could cause substantial interruption to the Company’s business and could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition and the trading price of the Company’s securities and could include, among other things, temporary closures of one or more of the Company’s facilities, the potential or increased network vulnerability and risk of data loss resulting form increased use of remote access and removal of data from the Company’s facilities. The COVID-19 pandemic poses a risk that the Company or its employees, contractors, suppliers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time. There is no assurance that the Company’s operations will continue to be deemed essential and/or the Company will continue to be permitted to operate in the future.

Credit ratings may change

There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to Securities issued hereunder will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency. A lowering or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Securities.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than disclosed in this Prospectus, there are no material interest, direct or indirect, of the directors or officers of the Company, any shareholder that beneficially owns more than 10% of the Common Shares or any associate or affiliate of any the foregoing persons in any transaction within the last three years or any proposed transaction that has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to investors described therein of acquiring Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax consideration.

LEGAL MATTERS AND INTEREST OF EXPERTS

Certain legal matters relating to an offering of the Securities will be passed upon by McMillan LLP, on behalf of the Company. As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of McMillan LLP, as a group beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than one percent of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with any offering of Securities will be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to matters of Canadian and, if applicable, United States or other foreign law.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The auditors of the Company are Morgan & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent is Computershare Investor Services Inc., located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

22

PURCHASERS’ CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS

Original purchasers of Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Debt Securities which are convertible into other securities of the Company will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Debt Securities. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 130 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 130 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

Original purchasers are further advised that in certain provinces or territories the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security that was purchased under a prospectus, and therefore a further payment at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the province in which the purchaser resides for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision or the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
