TORONTO, ON--(November 16, 2015) - Keek Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KEK) (KEEKF), a leading global mobile video social network featuring a unique 36 second video format with over 75 million registered users, today announced that Riavera Corporation (a company controlled by Mark Itwaru and a parent company to Personas.com Corporation) ("Riavera") has completed its acquisition of $3,000,000 principal amount of 12% secured promissory notes (the "Notes") issued by Keek on November 5, 2014 (see press release dated October 14, 2015).
Further, as previously agreed by Riavera, the Notes have been amended to extend the maturity date of the Notes to March 1, 2017, and to reduce the interest rate from 12% per annum to 7% per annum. In addition, the Notes (both principal and accrued interest) will be convertible into common shares of Keek at the option of Riavera at any time prior to maturity.

In addition, eight Note holders with an aggregate of $1,030,000 principal amount have agreed to amend their Notes on the same terms as the proposed amendments to the Notes held by Riavera.
