Destiny Media Announces Proposed Private Placement Financing

VANCOUVER, Oct. 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQX: DSNY) announces that its board of directors have approved a proposed private placement offering of up to 2,020,000 Units at a price of USD$0.25 per Unit for maximum gross proceeds of $505,000 (the "Offering").

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of Destiny and one-half of one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at USD$0.30 per share for a period of two years from the date of the issue.  Destiny will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants if, at any time, the average closing price of Destiny's common shares is equal to or greater than USD$1.25 for 20 consecutive trading days.  In the event of acceleration, the expiry date will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after Destiny issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.

Destiny plans to use the gross proceeds of the Offering for working capital purposes.

Closing of the proposed Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.
