/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, Jan. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY)
("Posera" or the "Company") today announces that it is undertaking a non-brokered private placement of up to
18,900,000 common shares of the Company ("Shares") at a price of $0.12 per Share, for
aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,2680,000 (the "Offering"). Closing of the Offering is
expected to take place on or about January 20, 2017.
It is anticipated that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The
Shares sold pursuant to the Offering will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws, including a statutory
hold period of four months. The Offering is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Company may pay finder's fees to certain qualified eligible persons assisting the Company in the Private Placement in an
amount not to exceed 6% of the gross proceeds of the subscriptions from subscribers introduced to the Offering by such finders.
Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Shares in the Offering. Any participation by insiders in the Private Placement would
constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). However, the Company expects such participation would be exempt from the
formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value
of the Shares subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Shares paid by such insiders, would exceed 25% of the
Company's market capitalization.
The Company will file a material change report in connection with the Offering less than 21 days before the expected closing
date of the Offering, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances to be able to avail itself of potential financing
opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
The securities being offered pursuant to the Private Placement have not been, and will not be, registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. federal and state
registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States.
