… And Then Completed First Tranche

Data Deposit Box Inc. announces that, further to its press release dated December 29, 2015, the company has completed the first tranche of a private placement for gross proceeds of $375,000 through the issuance of 1,875,000 units, of which 125,000 units have been subscribed for by Troy Cheeseman, director, president and COO of the company.

Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the company and one Common Share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of CDN$0.30 per common share for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance, provided, however, that should the closing price at which the common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or any such other stock exchange in Canada as the common shares may trade at the applicable time) exceed $0.35 for 10 consecutive trading days at any time following the date that is four months and one day after the date of issuance, the company may accelerate the warrant term such that the warrants shall expire on the date which is 30 calendar days following the date a press release is issued by the company announcing the reduced warrant term.

Gross proceeds raised from the Offering will be used for marketing, product development and general operating expenses.

The securities issued upon closing of the first tranche are subject to a hold period until May 1, 2016, pursuant to applicable securities laws.

The participation by Cheeseman in the first tranche constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101). Such related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related party nor the consideration being paid by the related party will exceed 25% of the company’s market capitalization. The participants in the first tranche and the extent of such participation were not finalized until shortly prior to the completion of the first tranche. Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the first tranche pursuant to a material change report at least 21 days prior to the completion date.
