TORONTO, July 16, 2018 /CNW/ - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX-V: ISD) (OTC: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile messaging solutions for commercial and security purposes announces that it has received final approval from the necessary regulatory agency to close both the previously announced secured convertible promissory note (the "Note") and the shares for debt arrangement ("Arrangement").

The Note is held by Korona Group Ltd. ("Korona"), wholly owned by Josip Kozar, who is deemed to be a "related party", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), of iSIGN, being the Company's Chief Executive Officer and holding approximately 12.0% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.  As such, the issuance of this Note is a "related party transaction" for the Company.  For this transaction, the Company has relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 and has relied on the exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101.

The principal amount can, at the option of the Note holder, be converted into units of the Company (the "Units") at a price equal to $0.08 per Unit.  Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant").  Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") for a period of two years following the date of issuance of the Warrant at an exercise price of $0.12 per Warrant Share.  The Unit Shares and Warrants (and, if applicable, the Warrant Shares) will be subject to a minimum hold period of 4 months from the date of issue of the Note.

The Note will have a term of one year and will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity.

The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from those registration requirements.  This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor shall there by any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Company has completed the Arrangement issuing 6,860,420 common shares ("Shares") at a deemed price of $0.10 per share.  These shares are subject to a four-month hold period, ending November 13, 2018.

The total amount of indebtedness settled by this Arrangement is $686,042.  The Company agreed to satisfy this outstanding indebtedness with shares to perverse its cash for operational expenses.

The pricing for the Note and the Arrangement was set above market price based on the various projects that are underway with the Company and its resellers.  The pricing reflects the expectations of both the Company's and the various Parties that the Company is moving towards the completion of contracts and related revenues.
