Briad Selects Ingenico Group and SecureTablePay to Power Pay-at-the-Table Technology in Their Restaurants

Fast-growing hospitality company turns to exclusive, integrated payment solution to eliminate costly chargebacks and increase table turns

NEW JERSEY, SEATTLE, and ATLANTA — November 07, 2018 —Briad Restaurant Group (Briad), one of the fastest-growing hospitality companies in the U.S., announced it has selected Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346-ING) and SecureTablePay from Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY) to exclusively power its Pay-at-the-Table restaurant solution. Ingenico Group’s payment technology, coupled with SecureTablePay, provides a Pay-at-the-Table solution that will empower Briad’s restaurants – including its Friday’s franchises and Zinburger Wine and Burger Bar, locations– to improve the dining experience for its customer base. The EMV-compliant solution increases table turns, eliminates the burden of costly chargebacks and speeds up payment operations for the benefit of both Briad and its customers.

The combined Pay-at-the-Table solution, which leverages SecureTablePay’s semi-integrated payment middleware with Ingenico Group’s iWL252 wireless smart terminal, enables Briad Group’s restaurants to improve efficiency and deliver a superior customer experience by eliminating the need for servers to take the payment cards from guests in order to process card payments. According to SecureTablePay, this helps increase table turns by 15 percent (9 minutes per table on average) and improve annual revenue. Additionally, because the solution leverages a semi- integrated architecture, Briad will enhance the security of their payment infrastructure and reduce the overall PCI scope of the solution – saving them time and resources.

“We wanted to implement EMV at our restaurants, but were waiting for the right Pay-at-the-Table solution. Once we piloted SecureTablePay at one of our Friday’s locations, we saw chargebacks drop immediately,” said Tom Cornell, Director of Information Systems for Briad. “Lowering our costs was good enough for us to decide to deploy the SecureTablePay and Ingenico Group solution; the positive feedback we got from customers was icing on the cake. Our servers like using it too, as it allows them to spend more time at their customers’ tables and less time going back and forth to their terminals.”

“Briad is a leader in the restaurant industry and they demonstrate that continually with their use of technology to improve the diner experience. Adoption of Pay-at-the-Table solutions are about to completely change how restaurants interact with their diners, driving additional value for their guests and improving their overall efficiency, and by adopting the technology now, Briad cements itself as a forward-thinking leader in the industry,” said Jennifer Miles, EVP of North America for Ingenico Group. “The consumer experience is becoming more about flexibility and freedom and that shift is going to require reliable, secure, connected solutions, like SecureTablePay, that enable guests to pay with their preferred method.”

“We are thrilled to be working with Briad. They are leaders in the restaurant industry with several exciting brands and have shown their leadership by being early adopters of Pay-at-the-Table technology before its widespread adoption in the U.S.,” said Akash Sahai, EVP Strategy and Business Development of Posera. “We have worked with the team at Ingenico Group for many years and are excited to partner with them to take SecureTablePay to Briad’s different brands and many locations across the country.”

Briad installed its first Pay-at-the-Table solution from SecureTablePay and Ingenico in the fall of 2017 at its Friday’s location in Woodridge, New Jersey and is now also live at its two newly opened Zinburger restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia. Briad will now be rolling out the solution in its other Friday’s and Zinburger locations across the U.S.

Ingenico Group’s Enhanced TETRA Semi-Integrated Payments Solution Helps Businesses Scale and Securely Go to Market with Ease

Expanded offer provides solutions providers and enterprise-level merchants more control over payments experience, increasing potential revenue

ATLANTA — October 22, 2018 — Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346-ING) is introducing its enhanced TETRA Semi-Integrated (TETRA SI) solution to put merchants in a position to scale and adapt to changing market needs driven by growing consumer buying power. Merchants of all sizes can now offer a payment experience that is easier to manage, allows for simplified certification and compliance and has improved security to keep customer card data protected.

“Customers’ expectations of merchants have never been higher. The buying power in the hands of consumers has driven a need for merchants to be flexible and agile enough to adapt to future payment offerings and innovate on the fly,” said Irfan Nasir, head of product and solutions for Ingenico Group North America. “Our enhanced TETRA Semi-Integrated solution helps ISVs and merchants create a payment experience that gives their customers the experience they want when completing a transaction.”

Flexibility, Simplicity, and Security

The integration offers independent software vendors (ISVs) and gateways valuable solutions to bring to their merchant customers. The value of Ingenico Group’s semi-integrated offering is in pairing the security, flexibility and simplicity of the semi-integrated approach with TETRA SI’sadditional benefits of a pre-certified EMV solution and ability to accommodate more robust, enterprise-level interfaces.

TETRA SI is well-suited to simplify complex workflows like Pay-at-the-Table service in restaurants, stadiums, and other venues. Getting transactions completed as quickly and securely as possible can be a challenge when POS devices connect with ECRs over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, particularly in environments requiring a high bandwidth. TETRA SI allows merchants to integrate their POS onceand know their solution is secure and won’t require re-certification for EMV, affording them more time, revenue, choices, and control.

“By leveraging the TETRA SI solution and integrating it with our SecureTablePay, we’re able todeliver an enterprise Pay-at-the-Table solution to restaurants of all shapes and sizes,” said Akash Sahai, EVP Strategy and Business Development of Posera. “We have been working with Ingenico for almost 10 years to perfect the Pay-at-the-Table experience, which increases security as thepayment card never leaves the customer’s hands, while also increasing efficiency for serversallowing them to spend more time at the table. Ingenico’s semi-integrated architecture makes it easy for restaurants to deploy SecureTablePay, enabling them to quickly and effortlessly adopt EMV and provide their customers with the convenience and safety of paying at the table.”

The capabilities of the new TETRA Semi-Integrated solution include the following:

Improved control – More ease in managing complex workflows like Pay-at-the-Table when merchants decouple POS and payment
Increased security – Improved security by eliminating cardholder data from the POS.
Greater connectivity and flexibility –
- HTML5 business application capabilities – allowing merchants to offer new interactions or experiences with their customer on a payment device
- Connection to the processor or gateway of the merchant’s choice for greater flexibility
  - Seamless integration with a Cross-platform software development kit (SDK) that supports Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS, making it easy to integrate across multiple platforms
  - New, easy-to-use web-based interface (API) enabling browser-based applications to easily support payments
Simplified compliance –
- Simplified EMV support to reduce certification bottlenecks
- Reduced PCI audit scope and a pre-certified, PCI-compliant solution that won’t require re-certification

POS Portal also offers front-line support, troubleshooting, and replacement services for payments hardware regardless of the independent software vendor (ISV) or processor used.

“POS Portal is the ideal distribution partner for SecureTablePay as they have multiple key injection facilities across the U.S.,” said Akash Sahai, EVP, Strategy and Business Development for Posera. “SecureTablePay works with most leading payment processors and is integrated to 25 of the leading restaurant management systems. Given that POS Portal also works with the leading processors and ISVs, POS Portal is a perfect fit to distribute SecureTablePay,” added Sahai.

Certified with several leading processors, including Vantiv (now Worldpay), SecureTablePay allows restaurants to now adopt a next-generation solution that allows operators to upgrade card security, gain server efficiency, enhance patron experience, and limit chargebacks. As a partner with a proven track record of successfully helping payment innovators deliver cohesive solutions to market, POS Portal has made adopting SecureTablePay fast and easy.

Posera Announces Annual and Fourth Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Toronto, ON – March 28th, 2018 – Posera Ltd. (TSX : PAY) (“Posera” or the “Company”), a leading provider of software and payment solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced its financial results for the three-months and year-ended December 31st, 2017.

For the year-ended December 31, 2017, Posera recognized $10,674,447 in revenue, an increase of $1,152,314 or 12% when compared to $9,522,133 for the year-ended December 31, 2016. For the three-months ended December 31, 2017, Posera recognized $3,327,865 in revenue an increase of $1,468,038 (79%) from $1,859,827 for the three-months ended December 31, 2016 and an increase of $1,069,699 (47%) from $2,258,166 for the three-months ended September 30, 2017.

During the year of 2017 Posera achieved several noteworthy milestones including: the divestment of its FingerPrints business, the launch of its KDS (“Kitchen Display System”) solution as a separate business, the growth of Maitre’D sales in the hotel industry, and the completion of certification with several major processors of its SecureTablePay product. “2017 was a very positive and eventful year for Posera”, said Dan Poirier, CEO of Posera. “We continued to rightsize and streamline the business, while at the same time growing our sales and installed base for Maitre’D, and introducing new products to the industry in KDS and SecureTablePay. We believe the company is well-positioned for the market, and look forward to growing a strengthened Company in 2018.”

In September 2017, Posera completed an asset sale of its FingerPrints point-of-sale (POS) business, to SICOM Systems, Inc., for $12.2M in cash consideration, which after post-closing adjustments resulted in a final gain on the disposal of $10,912,935. This divestment improved Posera’s balance sheet, was a catalyst on the road to profitability, and allowed Posera to strategically focus on its three core products: Maitre’D (POS software), KDS (kitchen display system), and SecureTablePay (pay-at-the-table solution).

During the third quarter of 2017, Posera also announced the launch of its KDS solution as a standalone offering from the Maitre’D POS platform for integration with third-party point-of-sale and restaurant management solutions. Posera is pleased to report that it has achieved significant traction with the strategy to decouple the KDS product from Matire’D with a significant order from an American customer with installations scheduled into fiscal 2018, and during the three-months ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold 1,656 KDS units, representing an increase of 1,579 units compared to the three months-ended December 31, 2016 and an increase of 1,432 units compared to the three months-ended September 30, 2017.

The Maitre’D POS solution continued to excel in non-traditional-restaurant hospitality sectors such as hotels, casinos, and assisted care living. Specifically, Maitre’D sales in the European market grew approximately 45% year-over-year for fiscal 2017. To fuel this growth, Posera completed certifications with three leading property management systems deployed by major hotel brands globally. Combined with the recently announced Shift4 certification, Posera is confident that it can replicate the European success in North America as well in 2018.
Posera completed certification of SecureTablePay with three of the largest US processors, Vantiv, Heartland and First Data, and continues to work towards certification with several other leading processors. After completing these certifications, Posera commenced pilots with all three of the above leading processors at locations across the United States, and will launch SecureTablePay during the 2018 calendar year.

During the year-ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a $10,912,935 gain on the divestment of FingerPrints and other minor assets, and a loss on discontinued operations of $1,881,926. As a result, net income for the year-ended December 31, 2017 was $6,179,568, an improvement of $9,860,516 from a loss of $3,680,948 for the year-ended December 31, 2016. Net loss from continuing operations for the year-ended December 31, 2017 was a loss of $2,851,441, an improvement of $2,234,129 compared to the loss of $5,085,570 for the year-ended December 31, 2016.

Posera experienced a normalized EBITDA(1,2) loss adjusted for discontinued operations for the year-ended
December 31, 2017 of $1,354,734, representing a $294,458 (18%) improvement from a loss of $1,649,192
for the year-ended December 31, 2016.

(1) EBITDA adjusted for discontinued operations: Posera’s management defines EBITDA as Net Income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes (excluding certain investment tax credits and other government assistance), amortization of capital and intangible assets, realized and unrealized exchange gain or loss, impairments and gains or losses on held for trading financial instruments, gains or losses from discontinued operations and other gains or losses on disposition of assets or extinguishment of liabilities.

Posera Announces the Distribution of SecureTablePay through Vantiv, now Worldpay’s Integrated Payments POS Reseller Channels in the U.S.

TORONTO, February 28, 2018 – Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, announced today that SecureTablePay, its new pay-at-the-table solution for the hospitality sector, is available through Vantiv, now Worldpay’s Integrated Payments POS reseller channels in the U.S.

SecureTablePay makes it possible for customers to pay their restaurant bill directly at the table via easy, efficient, secure, and EMV-compliant transactions, while enhancing the customer experience by giving servers more time to spend with customers. This solution allows the server to perform all functions of completing the payment transaction directly at the table – including pulling up the check, accepting and authorizing payment, and closing the table with full reconciliation to the point-of-sale (POS). As customers’ credit and debit cards never leave their possession, SecureTablePay also improves security and fraud protection. Together, these capabilities achieve an optimal balance between higher efficiency and enhanced security.

“With our open architecture model and wide presence in the U.S., we are able to deliver adaptable payment options through innovations like SecureTablePay,” said Matt Downs, head of channel and business development at Worldpay. “As new technologies are developed, we’re there to bring the future of payments to our merchant’s fingertips.”

Merchants on the Worldpay network in the U.S. who need an EMV solution will now be able to obtain SecureTablePay to increase their security and efficiency. Regardless of the POS system they use, merchants can easily implement SecureTablePay into their current systems, as SecureTablePay is essentially a universal solution, already integrated with many of the leading POS systems available in the market.

“Posera is proud to provide Worldpay with a pay-at-the-table solution for their merchants as we share Worldpay’s commitment to delivering innovative technology to hospitality clients,” said Akash Sahai, EVP, Strategy and Business Development, Posera. “Experience in other markets affirms that once customers and merchants experience the simplicity and efficiency of paying directly at the table, this will become the standard that customers will demand and Worldpay will be there to meet that demand with SecureTablePay,” added Sahai.

Posera’s Pay-at-the-Table Solution, SecureTablePay, Has Completed Certification with First Data

TORONTO, December 14, 2017 – Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, announced today the completion of certification with First Data, a global leader in commerce-enabling technology, for Posera’s pay-at-the-table solution, SecureTablePay^®.

SecureTablePay is a middleware software solution that allows customers to pay-at-the-table in an easy, efficient, secure, and EMV compliant manner. With SecureTablePay, the server only needs to go to the POS workstation once – to place the order. Pulling up the check, accepting and authorizing payment, and closing the table with full reconciliation to the POS is done directly at the table. This allows the server to spend more time on the floor with customers. It also means the credit or debit card never leaves the customer’s hands, increasing security and reducing opportunity for fraud. These capabilities create the perfect balance of greater security and increased efficiency.

“We are very excited about our certification with First Data. As it is the largest payment processor worldwide, and given their great distribution network and so many different channels, First Data has the ability to make SecureTablePay easily accessible to merchants big and small across the U.S.,” said Akash Sahai, EVP, Strategy and Business Development for Posera.

The first SecureTablePay deployment on the First Data network was installed on October 23^rd, 2017 in a North Carolina restaurant through their local dealer, Cabaret Systems, Inc. “Cabaret Systems Inc, has been waiting on an easy and efficient pay-at-the-table solution for the U.S. market. We are very happy with how the SecureTablePay application has worked, and we plan on implementing it with many of our restaurant customers in the coming months,” said Jeff Henry, President, Cabaret Systems, Inc.

With certification now complete, merchants on the First Data network who are looking to acquire pay-at-the-table functionality, or who need to adopt EMV, can do so with SecureTablePay, as SecureTablePay integrates with all leading POS systems.

Shift4 and Posera Announce Integrated Solution for the Hospitality Industry

Full-Featured Joint Solution Is Available Today in the U.S. and Canada

LAS VEGAS and TORONTO — December 1, 2017 — Payment services and gateway provider Shift4 Corporation and Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced the availability of their feature-rich and EMV-certified joint solution.

Shift4’s DOLLARS ON THE NET integrates with Posera’s Maitre’D to support credit, debit, and gift card transactions, and provides out-of-the-box support for U.S. and Canadian EMV, point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and tokenization. Their offering includes comprehensive auditing and accounting tools, the industry’s best uptime and simple adoption of emerging and alternative payment methods, such as mobile wallets.

With the joint solution, food and beverage (F&B) operators can process EMV payments to help prevent the fraudulent use of stolen card data at physical points of sale in fine and casual dining, quick service, hotels, bars and more, while adding the layered security of Shift4’s tokenization and PCI-validated P2PE. This keeps sensitive cardholder data out of the business’s payment processing environment — greatly reducing the risk of a breach and simplifying PCI assessments — while protecting their guests’ payment data from hackers.

“We’re very excited to announce the availability of the Posera and Shift4 integrated solution,” said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer at Posera. “The full-featured Maitre’D solution pairs perfectly with Shift4’s suite of payment solutions and services.”

Shift4 proudly supports more than a dozen EMV-capable terminals by Ingenico Group and Verifone, a host of payment functionalities such as bar tabs, tips, EMV quick chip and more. Their unmatched bank and processor options make it possible for F&B operators to adopt EMV without changing their financial relationships, giving them the freedom to negotiate the best payment processing rates or make a switch if needed. Shift4 is currently certified for EMV with 10 major processors — delivering unparalleled coverage of acquirers in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean and participating regions of Visa Direct.

“Shift4’s ability to provide options for merchants of all sizes and in all industries, has allowed us to support our mission of merchant advocacy,” said Daniel Montellano, VP of Strategic Business Development at Shift4. “Our partnership with Posera and integration to their Maitre’D POS now provides a top choice for hospitality and food and beverage operators.”

Posera Announces Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Toronto, ON – November 15, 2017 – Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY) a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced its financial results for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of 2017 Posera achieved noteworthy milestones including: the divestment of its FingerPrints business, the launch of its KDS solution as a separate business, the growth of Maitre’D sales in the hotel industry, and the completion of certification with several major processors of its SecureTablePay product.

In September, Posera completed an asset sale of its FingerPrints point-of-sale (POS) business, to SICOM Systems, Inc., for $12.2M in cash consideration, subject to post-closing adjustments. This divestment improves Posera’s balance sheet, is a catalyst on the road to profitability, and allows Posera to strategically focus on its three core products: Maitre’D (POS software), KDS (kitchen display system), and SecureTablePay (pay-at-the-table solution).

During the third quarter Posera also announced the launch of its KDS solution as a standalone offering from the Maitre’D POS platform for integration with third-party point-of-sale and restaurant management solutions. Posera is pleased to report it is achieving strong traction with this strategy and has received a significant order from a US-based quick-service chain, with installations scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018. KDS sales are trending towards an approximate 400% revenue increase on a year-over-year basis (YOY).

“Integrating KDS to a proprietary POS system of this magnitude was an exciting project for Posera, and our dedicated team worked very hard over the past year to make this a reality,” said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud of the many enhancements we made to the KDS software to win this large customer; these enhancements will now be available in all future versions and to all future customers,” added Poirier.

The Maitre’D POS solution continues to excel in non-traditional-restaurant hospitality sectors such as hotels, casinos, and assisted care living. Specifically, Maitre’D sales in the European hotel market have grown approximately 40% YOY through the first nine months of 2017. To fuel this growth, Posera completed certifications with three leading property management systems that are deployed by major hotel brands globally, and combined with the recent Shift4 certification, Posera is confident that it can replicate the European success in North America as well.

Posera completed certification of SecureTablePay with Heartland and First Data, adding to its existing certification with Vantiv, and continues to work towards certification with several other leading processors. SecureTablePay is currently in pilot with all three of the above leading processors at several locations across the country and will be fully launched in the US market in the fourth quarter.

During the three-months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a $11,237,620 gain on the divestment of FingerPrints and other minor assets, and a loss on discontinued operations of $855,349. As a result, net income for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 was $9,857,645, an improvement of $10,857,604 from a loss of $989,959 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, and an improvement of $10,782,354 from a loss of $924,709 for the three-months ended June 30, 2017.

Normalizing for the gain on the divestment and excluding the FingerPrints discontinued operations during the three-months ended September 30, 2017, Posera recognized $2,258,166 in total revenues, a decrease of $696,737 (23.6%) from $2,954,903 for the three-months ended June 30, 2017, and a decrease of $192,972 (7.9%) from $2,451,138 when compared to the three-months ended September 30th, 2016.

Posera experienced a normalized EBITDA^(1,2) loss adjusted for discontinued operations for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 of $356,839, representing a $20,152 (5.3%) decrease in loss from a loss of $376,991 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016.

Posera and DLT Labs Announce a Joint Venture to Implement Blockchain Technology into Hospitality POS and Payment Processing

TORONTO, October 20, 2017 – Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, and DLT Labs Inc., a global leader in blockchain solutions for enterprises, today announced a joint venture to deliver Blockchain technology into the hospitality POS ecosystem including developing a real-time transaction and inventory management system.

Blockchain is an electronic ledger that can be shared among disparate users and creates an unchangeable time-stamped record of transactions. Each digital record or transaction in the thread is stored in a block. Because blocks cannot be changed, and augmented by the additional protection of encryption, the data is immutable and inherently secure. Flexible architecture allows either an open or controlled set of users to participate in the electronic ledger. But one of the most powerful attributes of Blockchain is the ability to develop real-time systems that synchronize mass amounts of data.

“As leaders become increasingly aware of the economic and strategic benefits derived from real-time enterprise solutions, there is an industry shift to blockchain-centric systems on the horizon. The potential cost benefits in payment processing are enormous, and we believe the competitive and real-time nature of the hospitality industry will help drive adoption. We are delighted to partner with DLT Labs, an innovator in the Blockchain space, to pioneer real-time solutions in the hospitality and payment industry,” said Akash Sahai, EVP, Strategy and Business Development, Posera.

One example of the benefits, by integrating payment processing on blockchain, all parties in the payment processing ecosystem (merchants, processors, suppliers, and ISVs) will have access to the transaction data in a secure and real-time environment. This will not only decrease exorbitant systems expenses, but enables an entirely new generation of real-time analytics solutions. As another example, the partnership with DLT Labs will allow Posera’s SecureTablePay® pay-at-the-table solution to accept crypto-currency, making Posera a pioneer in the process of accepting crypto payments in the hospitality industry. SecureTablePay is now live in the market in the USA, certified with three major payment processors and available across the country.

“DLT Labs recognizes both the technical strength and domain expertise at Posera which will help us both accelerate this innovative development and quickly bring to market an exciting Blockchain development initiative,” said Neeraj Srivastava, Founder and CTO, DLT Labs. “The adoption of Distributed Ledger Technology is in its infancy, and we believe it is particularly suited to the demands of the hospitality industry, and more broadly throughout the payment industry, and we are extremely pleased to be working with Posera and their SecureTablePay solution,” added Srivastava.

The divestiture by Posera enables it to strengthen its strategic focus on its core products: Maitre’D® POS, KDS (Kitchen Display System), and SecureTablePay® pay-at-the-table solution.

“The addition of FingerPrints strengthens our commitment to delivering a complete portfolio for QSR brands, franchises and restaurants. It is a robust product that drives greater efficiency and speed of service for quick service restaurants and will complement our existing solutions,” said Jim Flynn, CEO of SICOM. “With its Canadian presence, this acquisition provides us with physical locations in Canada, helping us to better serve our current customers there and expanding our international presence.”

FingerPrints was launched in 2004 and currently operates in many leading QSR locations across Canada. Complemented by the Hypervision and Hyperscheduler offerings, FingerPrints enjoys an intuitive user interface and fully redundant system with integrated payment, EMV, loyalty and gift card capabilities as well as centralized menu and pricing programming, together with enabled mobile ordering.

“SICOM is the perfect fit for FingerPrints; with its thirty-year history of offering innovative products and services, its expansive customer list of the top QSR brand names and its commitment to growth, SICOM is the ideal accelerator to the FingerPrints brand’s continued success,” explained Dan Poirier, CEO of Posera. “This transaction is an exciting strategic evolution for Posera, allowing us to focus on Maitre’D, one of the premier POS brands, complete the roll out of SecureTablePay and capture the kitchen display market,” added Poirier.

Over 1,100 QSR restaurants throughout Canada that operate with the FingerPrints system will now be managed by SICOM.

Posera Announces Partnership with Ingenico Group for the Integration of its SecureTablePay Pay-at-the-Table Solution

TORONTO, May 19, 2017, Posera Ltd. (TSX : PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, announced its partnership with Ingenico Group, the global leader in seamless payment, for the launch of Posera’s SecureTablePay^® Pay-at-the-Table solution in the US market.

One of the biggest trends in the hospitality industry is the ability to accept card payments at the point of service via mobile payment devices. This capability has existed in many markets, such as Europe and Canada, for many years, and now increasingly, casual dining and table service restaurants in the US are adopting wireless terminals to offer Pay-at-the-Table convenience to their patrons. Ingenico Group and Posera provide an ideal solution to restaurants with the launch of Posera’s SecureTablePay on Ingenico Group’s wireless smart terminals, such as the iWL250.

This combined Ingenico Group hardware and Posera software solution not only increases convenience for the customer, but also increases efficiency for the restaurant and the server, allowing the server to spend more time on the floor with the customer and reducing the steps and time it takes to close a check. All that with added security including acceptance of EMV chip cards and NFC/contactless payments such as Apple Pay and Android Pay, and point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and tokenization, protecting customers and ensuring PCI compliance.

“There are over half a million restaurants in the US who have or will be adopting EMV standards over the next few years, and will need the ability to accept payments at the point of service. By combining the Posera’s solution with our wireless smart terminals, SecureTablePay enables restaurant payments that provide greater security and better customer service to American restaurants and their patrons,” said Howard Finch, vice president, sales at Ingenico Group, North America.

EMV-enabled Pay-at-the-Table solutions give customers the peace of mind of added security as the payment device is brought to them at the point of service. Customers can safely and easily use their chip cards, with either a PIN or signature, right from their seats. This embraces a core principle of better card security, which consumers are hearing about more frequently: never relinquish possession of your payment card, even temporarily. This combination of powerful security and faster, more convenient checkouts makes paying at the table with wireless terminals the ideal approach to satisfy hospitality customers.

“We have partnered with Ingenico for close to 10 years in Canada and are excited to launch SecureTablePay with them in the US,” said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer for Posera. “Our customers have found Ingenico wireless devices to be very durable and customer-friendly, with an incredible coverage range and battery life. We believe partnering SecureTablePay with Ingenico’s mPOS devices provides the best possible pay-at-the-table solution to restaurants in the US,” added Poirier.

If you’d like to learn more about Ingenico Group and Posera’s SecureTablePay Pay-at-the-Table solution and the latest payment technologies, please visit the Ingenico Group booth (#10919) during the National Restaurant Association show, May 20-23, 2017 in Chicago, IL.

Posera Announces Partnership with Vantiv and the Certification and Launch of SecureTablePay in the US Market

TORONTO, May 18, 2017 – Posera Ltd. (TSX : PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, announced today the completion of certification with Vantiv, the largest payment processor in the U.S., for Posera’s pay-at-the-table (PATT) solution, SecureTablePay^®.

Posera’s SecureTablePay is a middleware that allows customers to pay at the table in an easy, efficient, secure and EMV compliant manner. With SecureTablePay the server only needs to go to the POS workstation once – to place the order. Pulling up the check, accepting and authorizing payment, and closing the table with full reconciliation to the POS is done directly at the table. This allows the server to spend more time on the floor with customers, and the credit or debit card never leaves the customer’s hands increasing security and reducing the opportunity for fraud, creating the perfect balance of greater security and increased efficiency.

“SecureTablePay is a great option for pay-at-the-table functionality,” said Matt Downs, Head of Channel and Business Development Integrated Payments at Vantiv. “With ongoing data breaches and attacks,

SecureTablePay provides restaurant guests with a new level of security by utilizing both EMV chip technology and point-to-point encryption. We are excited to partner with Posera to bring this technology to the U.S. market.”

SecureTablePay has been proven for over 10 years with thousands of installations and is already integrated to most of the leading restaurant point-of-sale (POS) applications in North America, and is now ready to launch into the US market this June.

“We are very excited about the completion of our first certification with SecureTablePay in the U.S., especially since it is with Vantiv. Given their focus and penetration in the hospitality industry, Vantiv is the perfect partner for us to pilot and then launch SecureTablePay in the U.S.,” said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer for Posera. “Once customers and merchants realize how simple and efficient it is to pay at the table, we expect this will become the standard that customers will demand,” added Poirier.

Posera Announces First Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Toronto, ON – May 15^th, 2017 – Posera Ltd. (TSX : PAY) (“POSERA” or the “Company”), a leading provider of software and payment solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced its financial results for the three-months ended March 31^st, 2017.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2017, Posera recognized $3,947,807 in total revenues⁽¹⁾, a decrease of $467,066 or 10.6% and an increase of $68,668 or 1.8% when compared to the three-months ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016 respectively.

Posera experienced a normalized EBITDA loss⁽²⁾ for the three-months ended March 31, 2017 of $1,166,382, an increase in the loss of $620,185 (113.5%) and a decrease in the loss of $241,195 (17.1%), for the three-months ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016 respectively. The increase in the loss between the first quarter comparable periods is due to the decrease in sales revenue and gross profit generated by the Company. Additionally, operating expenses were higher between the comparable periods when normalizing for restructuring expenditures, but the balance of this increase was non-cash in nature through the expensing of stock-based compensation.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2017, Posera recognized a net loss⁽²⁾of $1,797,233, an increase in the loss of $248,109 (16.0%) from a loss of $1,549,124 for the three-months ended March 31, 2016, and a decrease in the loss of $489,591 (21.3%) from a loss of $2,283,824 for the three-months ended December 31, 2016.

Integrates with major Property Management Systems across 16 revenue categories;
Includes a user friendly modular back-office for instantaneous menu updating and employee management; and
The Databoard™ app allows for real-time alerts and reporting, from the POS, directly to iOS and Android mobile phones.

Ackroo Integrates with Posera’s SecureTablePay Pay-at-the-table Solution

OTTAWA, ONTARIO – April 7^th, 2017 – Ackroo Inc. (TSX-V: AKR, OTC: AKRFF) (“Ackroo”), a gift card, loyalty and rewards technology and services provider, announced the launch of their latest advancement to the Ackroo Anywhere platform with integration to Posera’s SecureTablePay (“STP”) middleware “pay-at-the-table” solution. This development will provide current and prospective Ackroo customers the opportunity to process gift card and loyalty transactions on wireless terminals that integrate to various point-of-sale (“POS”) software solutions, and will provide merchants who use Posera’s STP payment solution to accept Ackroo gift cards as a form of payment in the STP wireless payment terminal. Before this advancement, Ackroo merchants who utilized integrated wireless terminals in environments like restaurants would be required to fund and redeem gift card and loyalty transactions at one of the main POS stations instead of via wireless terminals that a server would bring to the table. In the restaurant environment, this process isn’t ideal for staff or customers, and integration represents a significant enhancement for this merchant segment. This advancement not only assists merchants who use hard cards from Ackroo for gift and loyalty but also those that will deploy Ackroo’s new mobile application as their new Pay Code system (Ackroo’s proprietary solution that allows stand alone terminals to accept mobile payments) will support “pay-at-the-table” for mobile as well. This is a leading-edge solution provided by Ackroo and Posera to better support the hospitality industry.

The solution will be available for deployment by Ackroo merchants initially using First Data terminals only. In the future, other processing partners may be included, however, the initial joint venture is between First Data, Ackroo, Posera’s STP, and the various POS systems affiliated with the STP solution.

“Pay-at-the-table is a very important enhancement needed for the restaurant segment,” said Steve Levely, Chief Executive Officer at Ackroo. “Restaurants are constantly looking for ways to improve the customer experience while also reducing operational strain on their staff. Pay-at-the-table technology supports that ask in a secure and easy to use manner and since most casual and fine dining restaurants have moved to this method of accepting debit and credit payment, we also wanted to be able to support our gift card and loyalty payments being accepted this way. This advancement also assists our mobile strategy. Via Ackroo’s Pay Code system, within the white labelled mobile application, consumers can use their mobile devices to redeem at the table through the handheld terminals. The solution will be launched initially for First Data terminals only providing yet another competitive advantage for our channel partner to offer Ackroo to their current and prospective merchant base. Very exciting enhancement for Ackroo, First Data, Posera, the various POS partners involved, and our merchants.”

“Enabling customers to pay-at-the-table improved convenience and security for customers and efficiency for the restaurant industry, and now paying at the table got even better,” said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer of Posera. “This new partnership between our SecureTablePay solution and Ackroo, will enable customers to pay using gift cards or redeem their loyalty points right at the table. Regardless of your method of payment, SecureTablePay will allow customers to pay quickly and securely. In fact, customers will even be able to split their payment between the different payment methods right at the table.”

In addition, Ackroo announces that it has cancelled 450,000 existing incentive stock options at various strike prices and has granted options to purchase 400,000 common shares to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.20, for a period of 3 years. The grant is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Posera Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement of Common Shares

TORONTO (January 9, 2017) – Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY) (“Posera” or the “Company”) today announces that it is undertaking a non-brokered private placement of up to 18,900,000 common shares of the Company (“Shares”) at a price of $0.12 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,268,000 (the “Offering”). Closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about January 20, 2017.

It is anticipated that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Shares sold pursuant to the Offering will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws, including a statutory hold period of four months. The Offering is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Company may pay finder’s fees to certain qualified eligible persons assisting the Company in the Private Placement in an amount not to exceed 6% of the gross proceeds of the subscriptions from subscribers introduced to the Offering by such finders.

Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Shares in the Offering. Any participation by insiders in the Private Placement would constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). However, the Company expects such participation would be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the Shares subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Shares paid by such insiders, would exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

POSERA Announces a Second SecureTablePay Distribution Agreement with a Leading US Payments Processor

TORONTO, September 8, 2016 /CNW/ – Posera Ltd. (TSX : PAY) (“Posera” or the “Company”), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, announces it has signed its second SecureTablePay non-exclusive distribution agreement with one of the largest payment processors in the United States. The agreement will generate initial license fees and monthly recurring revenues for POSERA.

Posera expects the solution to be available once technical certification is completed in approximately 3 months. Upon completion of the technical certifications and when the US Payment Processing partner is ready to launch the SecureTablePay solution, Posera and the US Payment Processor will circulate a joint press release.

SecureTablePay application enables safe, secure and stable ”Pay-at-the-Table” (“PATT”) capabilities. Posera has many years of Canadian and international success in the EMV Chip and PIN1 business. SecureTablePay has a unique and leading architecture, which provides both convenience and security. The SecureTablePay platform is already integrated to most of the leading Restaurant Point-of-Sale applications worldwide. SecureTablePay is:

Unique Architecture & Rapid Implementation: It is the only semi-integrated EMV1 and Contactless application allowing restaurant wait-staff to totally manage payments, split checks, tips and tables, remotely from a wireless payment terminal. SecureTablePay also incorporates Chip and Signature, PIN based Debit, Gift Cards, Tap and Pay by Phone with end-to-end encryption for the US market. The semi-integrated approach requires less development effort, and a reduced Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) scope, enabling a vastly compressed time to market
Secure: SecureTablePay provides the extraordinary convenience of paying at the table for both restaurant wait-staff and their customers. The card never leaves the Cardholder’s hands reducing the risk of fraud for both the merchant and cardholder. It also provides a secure solution to the enormous security challenges and financial risks that merchants now face due to the October 2015 liability shift imposed by the payment processors. This shift transfers the liability to the retail / restaurant merchants for chargebacks relating to fraudulent transactions, where previously chargebacks were a cost incurred by the processor.
Market-Ready: SecureTablePay is integrated to 20 of the largest Restaurant Point-of-Sale applications worldwide and our solution is already installed in several thousand hospitality merchants across Canada.
Independent Evolution: Secure Table Pay allows the POS and Payments Processing to evolve independently in this dynamic industry without the need for re-certification as the US industry evolves through its payment security process.
Improved Efficiency and Profitability: Secure Table Pay improves speed and accuracy in the Restaurant reducing Tip Adjust errors, improving wait-staff efficiency while increasing Table Turn Rates and profits for merchants, leading to a better overall customer experience.

The market opportunity for this solution is immense, with over 635,000 restaurants in the United States that would benefit from the use of the SecureTablePay technology.

Posera’s CEO Loudon Owen said, “The historically pervasive fraud and theft of customer identity is simply unacceptable and unfair to merchants and customers alike. Our solution wages war on the criminals and puts the power and control back in the hands of the merchants and consumers. We are particularly pleased to have completed our second SecureTablePay distribution agreement with another prestigious US payment processor and further confirms acceptance of our leading solution. We anticipate that once the technical certification is complete and our partners sales force is up and running, we will accelerate our penetration into the US marketplace. Owen added, “Once customers and merchants realize how easy and convenient it is to pay-at-the-table, we expect this will become the “Standard” that customers will demand.”

Industry Terminology Explained: EMV (“Europay, MasterCard and Visa”) is a technical standard for smart payment cards, payment terminals and ATM’s (“Automated Teller Machines”). Payment cards that comply with the EMV standard are often called Chip and PIN or Chip and Signature cards, depending on the exact authentication methods required to use them. Chip and PIN is the most secure type of technology for credit and debit cards transactions. Rather than physically signing a receipt for identification purposes, the user enters a four-digit Personal Identification Number (“PIN”). This number must correspond to the information that is stored on the Chip. Chip and PIN technology makes it much harder for fraudsters to replicate, therefore if a customer’s card is stolen, there will be no fraudulent purchases unless the criminal knows their four-digit PIN.

POSERA Announces Release of its SecureTablePay application, and a non-exclusive distribution agreement through a Leading US Payments Processor

Toronto, ON – Posera Ltd. (TSX:PAY) (“Posera” or the “Company”), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced it has released its SecureTablePay application enabling safe, secure and stable ‘Pay-at-the-Table’ capabilities. Posera has many years of Canadian and international success in the EMV Chip and PIN1 business.
SecureTablePay has a unique and leading architecture, provides both convenience and security and is already integrated to most of the leading Point-of-Sale applications. SecureTablePay is:

(a) Unique Architecture & Rapid Implementation: It is the only semi-integrated EMV and Contactless application allowing restaurant wait-staff to totally manage payments, tips and tables, remotely from a wireless payment terminal. SecureTablePay also incorporates Chip and Signature, with end-to-end encryption for the US market. The semi-integrated approach requires less development effort, and a reduced Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) scope, enabling a vastly compressed time to market.

(b) Secure: SecureTablePay provides the extraordinary convenience of paying at the table for both restaurant wait-staff and their customers. It also provides a secure solution to the enormous security challenges and financial risks that merchants now face due to the October 2015 liability shift imposed by the payment processors. This liability shift imposes responsibility on merchants for chargebacks relating to fraudulent transactions.

(c) Market-Ready: SecureTablePay is integrated to 20 of the largest Point-of-Sale applications worldwide and our solution is already installed in several thousand hospitality merchants across Canada.

In addition, Posera is pleased to announce it has entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a leading US payment processing company for its SecureTablePay application. While the distribution agreement will generate initial license fee revenues, it is primarily a recurring revenue model. The market opportunity for this solution is immense, with over 635,000 restaurants in the US that would benefit from the use of the SecureTablePay technology.

Posera’s CEO Loudon Owen said, “The US retail sector is reaching a threshold of indignation faced with a pervasive amount of fraud and theft of customer identity. Our solution wages war on the criminals and puts the power and control back in the hands of the retailers and consumers. We are particularly pleased to be at the forefront of this vital step in consumer protection and security and to be able to stand alongside a leading payment processor.” Owen added, “At the same time, customers are demanding the ability to pay at the table. As soon as customers experience it, we expect this will become a standard practice that customers will demand.”

1) Industry Terminology Explained: EMV (“Europay, MasterCard and Visa”) is a technical standard for smart payment cards, payment terminals and ATM’s (“Automated Teller Machines”). Payment cards that comply with the EMV standard are often called Chip and PIN or Chip and Signature cards, depending on the exact authentication methods required to use them.
