VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bard Ventures Ltd. (the
“Company” or “Bard”) is pleased to announce that it will hold
its annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”) at the offices of the Company located
at Suite 810 – 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1H2 on October 31, 2018 at 9:00 am PST and has nominated Mr. Ning Wu for
position on the Bard’s board of directors.
Mr. Ning Wu serves as General Manager and is the Founder of Shanghai Shouye Biotech Co. Ltd. since 2011. Through
his experiences, Mr. Wu acquired his knowledge in medicine by independent study and has developed 6 patents of various Chinese
herbal medication, equipment and processes. He has the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection
with accounting for estimates, accruals, and reserves. In addition, he has the background and experience to deal with the
complexity of managing issues that can be reasonably raised by business operation.
In order to strengthen its balance sheet, the Company is further announcing a non-brokered private placement
(the “Private Placement”) of up to 21,818,182 units (the
“Units”) of the Company at a price of $0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,400,000 (the
“Offering”). Each unit will consist of one (1) common share (the “Common
Share”) and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant
will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.11 per Common Share for
a period of two (2) years from the date of closing.
Mr. Ning Wu, a proposed director and not an insider of the Company, has noted his intention to subscribe for all
of the Offering. Mr. Wu currently holds 2,000,000 Common Shares and 2,000,000 Warrants, assuming completion of the full amount of
the Private Placement and sale to Mr. Wu of 21,818,182 Units, Mr. Wu will hold upon closing on a fully-diluted basis, approximately
49.75% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Mr. Wu would upon closing become a “Control Person” pursuant to the policies of TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”). However, as he is not an insider, his participation in the Private Placement will not
constitute a “related party transaction”. At the AGM, shareholders of the Company, excluding the 2,000,000 Common Shares held by
Mr. Wu, will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution approving the Private Placement and the creation of a new Control Person.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for general working capital purposes. The use
of proceeds is an estimation and management’s actual use of proceeds may vary materially from those noted here depending upon
changing circumstances and/or other strategic transactions that the Company may undertake.
The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) after giving due consideration
to market conditions and the capital needs of the Company have determined that the Private Placement is in the best interests of
the Company.
The closing of the Private Placement is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of
TSXV and the shareholders of the Company, which will be obtained at the Company’s AGM.
The closing is also subject to receipt of all necessary Board approvals. The securities issued pursuant to the
Offering will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
