Annidis Announces Private Placement of $200,000 Convertible Promissory Note

OTTAWA, March 11, 2016 /CNW/ - Annidis Corporation (TSX Venture: RHA) ("Annidis" or the "Corporation"), is pleased to announce that, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), it has completed a private placement of a convertible promissory note in the amount of $200,000 (the "Note") to an insider of the Corporation, Yimai Technology International Corporation Limited (the "Lender"). The Note dated March 4, 2016 matures and becomes due and payable on March 4, 2017 and bears non-compounding interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The Corporation may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest, without penalty, at any time prior to the maturity date of the Note. At the option of the Lender, the Note, including any accrued but unpaid interest at the time of conversion, may be converted into common shares in the capital of Annidis ("Common Shares") at a conversion price of $0.05 per Common Share.

The proceeds from the Note will be used by the Corporation for general working capital purposes.  If the Lender were to convert the Note, it would receive (excluding any shares issued to satisfy accrued but unpaid interest), 4,000,000 common shares, representing approximately 3.7% of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation as of the date hereof, and following such issuances, the Lender would hold 43,982,046 common shares or 39.3% of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation.

The issuance of the Note to the Lender constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Corporation is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements as set out under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the consideration for the Note will not exceed 25% of fair market value of the Corporation's market capitalization.  The Corporation is issuing this press release, and it is reasonable to do, less than 21 days prior to the closing of the issuance of the Note as the closing is not subject to any shareholder approval and the Corporation and the Lender were ready and able to close prior to such 21 day period and the Corporation is in need of the proceeds.

In accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued in connection with the Note (including all underlying securities) are subject to a minimum hold period of four months and one day.
