Philadelphia, PA, Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp.

Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the “Agent”) will act as lead agent and sole bookrunner for the Offering on a commercially reasonable efforts basis.

The Debentures will bear interest from the date of issuance at a rate of 10% per annum on an accrual basis, calculated and payable semi-annually, and will mature on the date (the “Maturity Date”) that is 24 months after the date of issuance (the “Closing Date”).

The principal amount of the Debentures may be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time before the Maturity Date, into units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at $0.45 per Unit, if converted at any time before one year after the Closing Date, or otherwise convertible at $0.60 per Unit if converted after one year after the Closing Date but before the Maturity Date.

Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Share (each a, “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.60 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date, subject to acceleration. The Company may exercise its warrant acceleration right, if on any ten consecutive trading days, beginning on the date that is four months and one day following the Closing Date, the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the CSE is greater than $1.00 per Share. If the Company exercises its warrant acceleration right, the new expiry date of the Warrants will be the 30th day following the notice of such exercise.

The Company will pay a cash commission to the Agent equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (4% from the sale of Debentures to purchasers identified on the Company’s president’s list) and will issue broker warrants equal in number to 8% of the Units (4% of the Units from the sale of Debentures to purchasers identified on the Company’s president’s list) that the aggregate principle amount of Debentures sold under the Offering are convertible into at a price of $0.45 per Unit.  Each Broker Warrant entitles the Agent to purchase one Share at the price of $0.60 per Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.
