"We see this as not only a strong vote of confidence in our technology and innovative vision for the Company but as a very welcome fit in terms of strategic alignment," said Shafin Tejani, Chief Executive Officer of Victory Square.

We're obviously very pleased to welcome Mr. Khimji to the Victory Square family."
Upon completion, Mr. Khimji will hold 6,666,667 Shares and warrants to purchase a further 3,333,334 Shares.

Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Mr. Khimji is purchasing the securities for investment purposes and may, depending on market and other conditions, or as future circumstances may dictate, from time to time, increase, dispose, or convert, as the case may be, some or all of the securities he will hold, or may continue to hold his position.
