TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 28, 2013) - Advantex Marketing International Inc. (CNSX:ADX) ("Advantex" or the "Company"), a leading specialist in the marketing services industry, today announced that it has signed a term sheet with a Toronto-based portfolio manager to refinance (the "Refinancing") the Company's 14% non-convertible debentures and 12% non-convertible debentures (collectively, the "Existing Debentures"), which Existing Debentures, as amended, mature on December 31, 2013.

The Company expects to refinance between $5 million and $5.5 million face value worth of Existing Debentures.

The common shares are being issued in consideration for the agreement by holders of the Existing Debentures to exchange their Existing Debentures into New Debentures and their agreement to surrender the warrants issued in connection with the issue of the Existing Debentures.

Any Existing Debentures not exchanged for New Debentures will mature in accordance with its terms (as amended) on December 31, 2013 and any warrants issued in connection therewith, unless exercised, will expire on December 31, 2013.
