Namaste Announces Acceleration of Expiry Date of Warrants


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N)(OTCQB:NXTTF)(FRANKFURT:M5BQ) is pleased to announce that the Company has elected to exercise its right under the warrant indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) issued on March 9, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants when the closing price of the common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) on the Canadian Securities Exchange exceeds $0.70 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days (the “Acceleration Event”).

Namaste is pleased to confirm that an Acceleration Event occurred as of December 7, 2017. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to accelerate the expiry time of the Warrants to 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 8, 2018. This news release constitutes notice to Warrant holders of the new expiry date. Any Warrants remaining unexercised after the new expiry date will be cancelled.

As of close of market on December 7, 2017, a total of 12,240,600 warrants of the 22,676,000 originally issued Warrants had yet to be exercised. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35. Consequently, if all remaining unexercised Warrants are exercised, proceeds to the Company will total $4,284,210.

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: “This warrant acceleration will provide a significant cash injection for Namaste that strengthens our cash position and will also support the Company’s various expansion opportunities. We are well funded, looking forward to continued growth and are excited about the future. ”
