MELBOURNE, Australia, June 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Propanc Health Group Corporation (OTCQB:PPCH) ("Propanc" or "the Company"), an emerging healthcare company focused on the development of new and proprietary treatments for cancer patients, today announced that it has raised $400,000.00 in bridge financing from private investors. The funds realized from this financing will be used to support the Company's operations and working capital needs.

"I am pleased we have raised this capital to further support our operations," said James Nathanielsz, Propanc's Chief Executive Officer. "It gives us confidence that our current plans are on track, enabling us to continue our efforts to secure the acceptance and approval of our patent applications filed around the world.

In connection with the syndicated capital raise, Propanc issued convertible promissory notes, with an aggregate face value of $200,000.00. The Company also issued additional "back end" promissory notes in the same amount, which, at the Company's option, may or may not ultimately be funded. The promissory notes issued bear an interest rate of 8% per annum and are convertible within a period of 12 months.

About Propanc:

Propanc is a development stage healthcare company whose current focus is on the development of new cancer treatments for patients, particularly those suffering from pancreatic and colorectal cancer. Together with its scientific and oncology consultants, Propanc has developed a rational, composite formulation of anti-cancer compounds which enable and support a host of cancer treatment options. Propanc's leading products are variations upon its novel formulation and involve or employ proenzymes, which are inactive precursors of enzymes.
