Western Pacific Trust Company (TSX VENTURE:WP) (the "Company" or "Western Pacific") announces that it has closed the second and final tranche of its private placement (the "Offering") of Series I Preferred Shares (each, a "Share") today. The Offering was announced on June 25, 2014 which news release contains the terms of the Offering and describes the special rights and restrictions attached to the Shares. In the first tranche, the Company issued 13,625 Shares, and in the second and final tranche the Company issued a further 7,025 Shares, for gross proceeds for the Offering of $206,500.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes. All of the shares issued pursuant to the first tranche were issued to insiders of Western Pacific. Of the Shares issued in the second tranche of this Offering, 14.6% were issued to Company insiders.

In addition, the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without the consent of the board of directors of the Company, and the board of directors is not required to give any reason for refusing to consent to any such sale, transfer of other disposition.
