Kisses From Italy Secures $7.5 Million Standby Equity Commitment Agreement with MACRAB, LLC

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2021 / Kisses from Italy Inc. (OTCQB:KITL), a publicly listed U.S.-based company, restaurant chain operator, franchisor, and product distributor (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a $7,500,000 equity financing agreement with MACRAB, LLC ("MACRAB") ("Equity Line" or "Facility") under the terms of a Standby Equity Commitment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement"), as well as a registration rights agreement related thereto ("Registration Rights Agreement"). The $7,500,000 financing's term is a maximum duration of 24 months. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a Form S-1 Registration Statement will be filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register the common shares that may be issued in connection with this Facility.

Claudio Ferri, Co-CEO, CIO, and co-founder of Kisses From Italy stated, "This $7.5 million equity financing with the team at MACRAB provides us with strong capital backing to continue building and executing on our strategic plan. The capital backing, and equally important, our new alliance with MACRAB, continues to enable us to build on our momentum with the flexibility to bring in capital in an opportunistic manner." Ferri added, "getting to know the team at MACRAB has been an absolute pleasure. It is very beneficial to have a strategic partner on board that shares similar views of the enormous market potential and of our Company's primary goal of fundamentally and rapidly accelerating Kisses of Italy's footprint both domestically and internationally."

Michele Di Turi, President, co-CEO, and co-founder of Kisses From Italy stated, "Being in this type of market space, we often get approached for various types of proposed structures and financing deals that are not always a good fit, but my partner Claudio and I are set on creating and putting in place the best possible structure for what is needed in the future to bring value to our shareholders. Our Company has many exciting opportunities available for growth, and with this capital in place, we believe that we are well-positioned for the future."

The Equity Investment Agreement announcement follows the recent openings of two Kisses From Italy franchises. The first franchise in Chino, California and the first Canadian franchise in Montreal, Canada. It also follows other recent important announcements, such as, in April of 2021, Kisses From Italy signed an agreement with Fransmart, an industry leader in the global franchise market known for having a solid reputation in franchise development and the franchising opportunities space, with a track record of turning emerging restaurant concepts into national and global brands. In addition, the Company also entered into an agreement with Cuisine Solutions, a world-renowned service provider to top brands, and the teams are currently working on future operational layouts which will allow the Company to become hoodless and ventless and continue to improve development and operational efficiencies.

A complete and detailed description of the Investment Agreement, as well as other details of the Facility, are set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the SEC. This Press Release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
