Ventripoint Announces Extension of Warrants

(TheNewswire)

Toronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / March 6, 2019 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. (“Ventripoint” or the “Corporation”), (TSXV:VPT, OTCQB:VPTDF) announces that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) to extend the expiry dates of common share purchase warrants issued by the Corporation (the “Warrants”) in connection with a private placement on March 23, 2017 and a shares-for-debt transaction on March 21, 2017 (collectively, the “Originating Transactions”). The amendments to the expiry dates of the Warrants are set out in the table below. The Warrants to be amended do not include any warrants issued to finders or agents in connection with the Originating Transactions. No other terms of the Warrants are to be amended.

The proposed amendment of the Warrants is subject to the approval of the TSXV and the consent of each of the holders of Warrants.

Certain of the Warrants are held by parties who are considered to be “related parties” of the Corporation (such warrants, the “Related Party Warrants”). Therefore, the amendment of the Related Party Warrants constitutes a “related party transaction” as contemplated by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions, and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions. However, the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for by these guidelines can be relied upon because neither the fair market value of the Related Party Warrants nor the fair market value of the consideration paid for the Related Party Warrants exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Corporation. A material change report in respect of this related party transaction will be filed by the Corporation. The extension of the warrants will be effective upon TSX Venture Exchange approval, which is expected prior to the 21st day from the date of this press release.

Holders of Warrants will not receive an amended Warrant certificate, and will be required to submit their original Warrant certificate in order to exercise Warrants.
