Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. (“Ventripoint” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:VPT) announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement“) of up to 6,250,000 units (“Units“) at $0.32 per Unit for total gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 (the “Offering“).

Each Finder’s Warrant would entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.50 per Common Share for a period of 2 years after the issuance of the Finder’s Warrant.
The Common Shares, the Warrants and the Finder’s Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering, and any Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants and Finder’s Warrants, would be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing of the Private Placement except as permitted by applicable securities legislation and the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“). The Private Placement is subject to approval by the TSXV.
