Avante Logixx Inc (TSXV:XX), a Canadian security tech stock, surged 22% to $1.35 on Thursday after announcing that Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited will invest up to C$18 million in the company through a private placement of unsecured convertible debentures. Avante Logixx added that it has also agreed to acquire A.S.A.P. Secured Inc, adding about $24.7 million in Trailing Twelve Month 2019 revenue.
