Last Update: 10/5/2011 8:15:48 PM

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 5, 2011 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- VendTek Systems Inc. (VSI) ("VendTek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its press release of September 12, 2011 announcing its intention to pursue a non-brokered private placement, for proceeds of up to $3,000,000 (the "Private Placement"), of units of the Company (the "Units"), the Company has entered into a subscription agreement with Privinvest Offshore SAL (Holding) ("Privinvest Offshore") for the purchase of 3,333,333 Units at the price of
.60 per Unit for the aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. Given current market conditions, the Company does not plan to raise the remaining $1,000,000 of the Private Placement. The amounts raised from Privinvest Offshore's participation in the Private Placement will provide the Company with its current requirements for the Company's expansion plans for its Brazilian operations and to advance its technology platform for mobile financial transactions.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one additional Common Share for three years from the closing of the Private Placement at a price of
.75 per Common Share.

Privinvest Offshore currently holds 12,012,500 Common Shares (representing approximately 24.4% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares), as well as 585,000 Common Share purchase warrants (representing approximately 24.7% of the Company's issued and outstanding warrants), and a $750,000 principal amount convertible debenture of the Company. Assuming completion of Privinvest Offshore's $2,000,000 investment, immediately following closing, Privinvest Offshore will hold 15,345,833 Common Shares (representing approximately 29.2% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares). In addition, Privinvest Offshore will also hold 2,251,666 Common Share purchase warrants (representing approximately 55.7% of the Company's issued and outstanding warrants). In addition, Privinvest Offshore will continue to hold a $750,000 principal amount convertible debenture of the Company.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for general working capital purposes, to continue the Company's expansion plans for its Brazilian operations, and to advance its technology platform for mobile financial transactions.

The purchase of the Units by Privinvest Offshore will constitute a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on (i) the exemption contained in section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 from the formal valuation requirement, and (ii) the exemption contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 from the minority shareholder approval requirement. These exemptions are being relied upon on the grounds that the fair market value of the transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

In early September, 2011, the board of directors of the Company considered and unanimously approved matters relating to the Private Placement, including Privinvest Offshore's participation in the Private Placement.

Closing of Privinvest Offshore's $2,000,000 investment is planned to occur on or about October 7, 2011. Accordingly, the material change report that will be filed in connection with the Private Placement will be filed less than 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement.
