TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 1, 2016) - Further to its announcement via news release dated October 14, 2016 concerning the release of proceeds from the first closing of its arm's length brokered private placement of subscription receipts (the "Private Placement") by Findev Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FDI) (the "Company" or "Findev") in connection with its proposed change of business from one focused on the digital distribution of games for Smart TVs, next-generation set-top boxes and over-the-top devices, to that of lending to, investing in and financing real estate transactions (the "Proposed COB"), the Company is pleased to announce the second closing of the Private Placement and the related conversion of subscription receipts to common shares and the release of funds to the Company.

On October 31, 2016, the Company issued a total of 5,878,681 subscription receipts at a price per share of $0.60 in connection with the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $3,527,208. The subscription receipts were converted and funds released to the Company on the same day, resulting in the issuance of 5,878,681 common shares and a total of 5,878,670 common share purchase warrants, half with an 18-month expiry and the other half with a 36-month expiry, and each exercisable at $0.70, provided that the Company may in its sole discretion call the warrants if and when and the common shares trade at a price equal to or greater than $1.20 for 5 consecutive days.

Cranson Capital Securities Inc. (the "Agent") acted as the agent for the Private Placement. The Company paid the Agent a cash amount equal to six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate proceeds of the Private Placement raised by the Agent.

Plazacorp Holding Limited subscribed for 2,608,333 subscription receipts in connection with the second closing of the Private Placement and now holds a total of 11,500,000 common shares of the Company, or approximately 40% of the Company's outstanding shares. The common shares of the Company are expected to remain halted from trading on the TSX-V until the completion of the Proposed COB.
