Annidis Corporation Provides Update on YIMAI Private Placement

OTTAWA, July 16, 2013 /CNW/ - Annidis Corporation (TSX-V: RHA) ("Annidis" or the "Company"), creator of the Annidis RHA™, wishes to provide an update, as required by the TSX Venture, on the status of its private placement (the "Placement") of common shares of Annidis ("Common Shares") to Yimai Technology International Company Limited ("YIMAI"), as was previously announced on June 17, 2013.

The Placement entails, among other things, the issuance of an aggregate of 27,801,652 Common Shares to YIMAI for total consideration of $5,000,000. Of these 27,801,652 Common Shares, 6,968,319 will be held in escrow by Annidis (the "Escrowed Shares") and will be released to YIMAI on the basis of one Escrowed Share for each 3.26 Common Shares which are issued upon exercise of the Company's other outstanding convertible securities on or before September 30, 2016. After such date any Escrowed Shares not already released to YIMAI will be cancelled.

Immediately following closing of the Placement and excluding the Escrowed Shares, YIMAI will own 20,833,333 Common Shares, acquired at a price of $0.24 per Common Share, resulting in an approximate 23.48% ownership interest in the Company.

Further details regarding the Placement are available in the Company's press release dated June 17, 2013.

Closing of the Placement remains subject to several conditions, including satisfactory completion of due diligence by YIMAI, which is currently ongoing, shareholder approval, and regulatory approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. Further updates will be announced on the status of the Placement as appropriate.
