Verisante Technology, Inc. Announces Non Brokered Private Placement
and Letter of Intent for the Exclusive Sales and Marketing Rights
for Cancer Detection Technology in China
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 25, 2014) -
Verisante Technology, Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:VRS)(OTCQX:VRSEF) (the
"Company" or "Verisante"), a leader in cancer detection technology,
announced today it has closed a non-brokered private placement of
2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.15 per share for gross
proceeds of $300,000.
The private placement comes in conjunction with the signing of a
Letter of Intent between the Company and a strategic partner (the
"Partner") to grant the exclusive marketing and sales rights, in
The People's Republic of China, for the Core™ for lung, colon,
cervical and nasal cancer detection, and for the complimentary
ClearVu endoscopic camera (the "Definitive Agreement").
Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the Definitive
Agreement will be contingent upon the Company receiving an
additional $2.5 million investment via private placement by the end
of September, 2014. The private placement shall be for common
shares (with no warrants) with a discount to the market price of no
greater than 15%. The Partner will separately fund the SFDA
approval process for regulatory approval in The People's Republic
of China, for the products starting with the Core™ for lung cancer,
including funding clinical studies, if necessary.
"This is a major breakthrough for Verisante in the biggest
market in the world for lung cancer. China has approximately one
third of the lung cancer cases in the world, is currently the
second largest buyer of medical devices globally, and is expected
to surpass the USA in that regard sometime in the next ten years,"
said Thomas Braun, President & CEO of Verisante. "With so many
patients and 21,000 hospitals, we are very excited to have a
strategic partner who will provide capital for Verisante and
separately fund the SFDA approval process for the Core™. This new
capital will also advance Aura™ (for skin cancer detection) into
the US FDA approval process, and we look forward to achieving these
major market approvals for our game changing technology."
The private placement is subject to all necessary regulatory and
stock exchange approvals. Securities issued pursuant to the private
placement are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day
from the date of distribution. Net proceeds of the private
placement will be used for working capital requirements. No
finder's fee was paid in connection with this private
placement.
