(the “Company” or “CIPC”) – Further to the Company’s news releases of May 24, June 1 and July 6, 2017, CIPC is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) and has raised $225,000 by the issuance of 4,500,000 units (the “Units”) at $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share for a period of one year at an exercise price of $0.10. Finders’ fees in the amount of $10,000 were paid in connection with this Private Placement. All of the securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period expiring on November 29, 2017.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from this Private Placement for financing the continued development and pursuit of business opportunities in the area of pharmaceutical and neutraceutical manufacturing and distribution and for general working capital purposes.
Mehrun Payravi, the President and a Director of the Company, purchased, directly or indirectly, 1,000,000 Units for investment purposes pursuant to the Private Placement.
