AREV INTERNATIONAL BRANDS LTD. ANNOUNCES COLIN JOBS AS COO AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Arev Brands International Ltd. has appointed Colin Job as chief operations officer of the company. It has also closed a private placement.

The company has issued 833,340 units at a price of 30 cents per unit for gross proceeds of up to $250,002. Each unit comprises one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant with each warrant being exercisable at 50 cents per warrant share. Subject to adjustment in certain events, each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the company at any time on or before 5 p.m. Vancouver time on the date that is 12 months from the date of issuance of the warrants; except that, if over a period of 10 consecutive trading days between the date that is four months and a day from the date of issuance of the warrants and the date that the warrants would otherwise expire, the closing price of the company's common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume for the company's common shares occurs) is at or exceeds 60 cents, then the company may, at its option, provide written notice to the warrant holders to exercise their warrants within 30 days of the date of the notice, failing which the warrants will expire.

The funds will be used for general working capital, product development and distribution.

The shares and warrants issued in the placement will be subject to a four-month hold period, under applicable Canadian securities legislation, expiring on Sept. 7, 2019.

Insiders of the corporation purchased a total of 500,000 units under the private placement, which is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The corporation relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a), respectively, of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation. No new insiders and no control persons were created in connection with the private placement.
