TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 17, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

VersaPay Corporation (TSX VENTURE:VPY) ("VersaPay" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") pursuant to which a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters") led by Haywood and including Cormark Securities Inc., will purchase, on a bought-deal private placement basis, 2,857,143 units of the Company ("Units" or the "Securities") at a price of $1.40 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $4,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half (1/2) of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire an additional Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $2.00 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by VersaPay at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the Offering and prior to the expiry date of the Warrants if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares is greater than $2.50 for any 20 consecutive trading days, at which time the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by issuing a press release announcing the reduced term of the Warrants whereupon the Warrants will expire on the 20th calendar day after the date of such press release.

The Underwriters shall also have the option (the "Underwriters' Option"), exercisable at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date of the Offering, to purchase from VersaPay up to an additional 15% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering.

The Offering will take place by way of a private placement to qualified investors in such provinces of Canada as the Underwriters may designate, and otherwise in those jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made under applicable private placement exemptions. The securities to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from closing of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering is expected to close on or about May 7, 2015.

In consideration for their services, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, and such number of compensation options ("Compensation Options") equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering. Each Compensation Option is exercisable for one Unit at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from closing of the Offering.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
