TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARHT Media Inc. (the “Company” or “ARHT”) (TSX-V:ART), a global leader in holographic telepresence, is pleased to announce that it has agreed to settle its debt of USD $400,000 (CAD equivalent $530,000) owed by the Company to ARHT Asia Limited ("ARHT Asia").

Pursuant to terms of a letter agreement, ARHT Asia has agreed to set-off US$400,000 (CAD equivalent $530,000) in consideration of the issue to ARHT Asia of 4,076,923 Units (as defined herein), valued at CAD $0.13 per Unit.

If at any time after that date which is four months and one day after the Closing Date the price per Common Share on the principal market on which such shares trade is CAD$0.50 or higher (on a volume weighted adjusted price basis) for a period of at least six (6) consecutive weeks, then the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants and, as such, the Warrants will expire on the date which is thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Company issues a new release announcing the accelerated expiry date.

The Units to be issued pursuant to this transaction will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period.
