In this initial tranche, the Company has issued an aggregate of 2,440,000 Units to exempt buyers on a private placement basis at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $122,000.

Each whole Warrant and each whole Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share (“Warrant Share“) at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of 12 months from the date hereof.
The securities issued in this initial tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities laws, which hold period expires on October 17, 2016.

Accordingly, there is a risk that the final closing of the Private Placement will not be completed within the anticipated time or at all. The intended use of the proceeds of the Private Placement by Veraz might change if the board of directors of the Company determines that it would be in the best interests of Veraz to deploy the proceeds for some other purposes. Actual results could different materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
