Blackline Safety Appoints Gateway to Lead New Investor Relations Program

Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected safety technology, has appointed Gateway Group, Inc., a leading strategic financial communications and capital markets advisory firm, to build, manage and deploy a new comprehensive investor relations program.

Gateway is a strategic financial communications firm specializing in advising public and private companies across a broad range of industry classifications. Founded in 1999, the firm provides high-level capital markets consulting, corporate communications, and investor outreach services. The firm is also specifically experienced in helping leading technology companies access and effectively navigate the U.S. capital markets.

“Blackline is seeing a dramatic reacceleration of our business as we emerge from restrictions over the last two years. Our ‘Invest to Grow’ strategy is achieving meaningful traction while we simultaneously plan to roll out several new products to new and current end-markets over the coming quarters,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair of Blackline Safety.

“Given these dynamics, now is an ideal time to partner with an experienced firm like Gateway, who can optimize our exposure to a broader capital markets community in North America. Further, we are confident the Gateway team will help the investment community better understand our significant growth opportunities fuelled by our attractive hardware-enabled software-as-a-service model driving high-margin, recurring revenue for our business.”

Gateway will work closely with Blackline leadership to develop and deploy a comprehensive capital markets outreach and communications program. Activities will include but are not limited to refining overall company and investment-oriented messaging and corporate positioning, strategic advisory services, and introductions to institutional investors, sell-side analysts and other key influencers in the broader financial community. Gateway will also assist in organizing roadshows and securing invitations to select financial conferences.
