Star Metro - Kidoz Inc. Announces Engagement of Independent Trading Group to Provide Market-Making Services

ITG is an independent Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) dealer-member and trading firm based in Toronto, Ontario. ITG will provide the Company with market-making services in accordance with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), CSE, and Cboe Canada policies. ITG will trade shares of the Company on these and all other trading venues with the objective of maintaining a reasonable market and improving the liquidity of the Company's common shares.

As our market-maker ITG will provide continuous buy and sell quotes for our shares with the aim of creating a more liquid and stable trading environment. It is anticipated that this will assist investors in trading more efficiently and ultimately benefiting the Company and its shareholders through improved price discovery, trading capacity, and reduced volatility.

Under the Agreement ITG will receive a monthly compensation of CAD$7,500 payable by the Company in advance. The Agreement is for an initial term of one month and will automatically renew for additional one-month terms until terminated by either party with 30 days' notice. The Agreement does not contain any performance factors and ITG will not receive any shares or options as compensation. No indirect compensation is provided under the Agreement. ITG and the Company are unrelated and unaffiliated entities operating at arm's length and as at the time of the Agreement neither ITG nor its principals have an interest, directly or indirectly, in the securities of the Company.

"We are excited about this new relationship with ITG" stated Jason Williams, the Companies CEO. "This is another key strategic step as we seek to position the company for growth and to achieve positive outcomes for our shareholders. With ITG's extensive experience in market making, combined with our recently announced commencement of trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States, management believes that this will result in an increase in interest by investors who are seeking to align with an innovative and growth-oriented technology company like Kidoz."

"We're thrilled to support Kidoz in expanding their market presence and visibility," said Jeff Gamble, Managing Director, Issuer Services at ITG "and we're confident that our expertise will help attract new investors to this innovative tech company."
