TSX Venture Exchange: VSI

VANCOUVER, Sept. 11, 2012 /CNW/ - VendTek Systems Inc. (TSX-V: VSI) ("VendTek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it plans to conduct a non-brokered private placement of 860 debenture units (the "Debenture Units"), with each Debenture Unit consisting of one 6% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company having a principal amount of $1,000 (the "Debentures"), and 1,000 warrants (each, a "Warrant") to purchase one common share of the Company (the "Private Placement").  The Debentures will each mature on the date that is two years from the closing of the Private Placement and entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.11 per common share on conversion. Each Warrant is exercisable for two years from the closing of the Private Placement to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per common share.  Privinvest Offshore SAL (Holding) ("Privinvest Offshore"), the Company's largest shareholder, is intended to be the sole subscriber for Debenture Units.

To the best of the Company's knowledge, Privinvest Offshore currently holds 19,203,833 common shares, representing approximately 33.01% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, as well as 4,126,666 common share purchase warrants and a $750,000 principal amount convertible debenture of the Company.  Upon completion of the Private Placement, Privinvest Offshore will hold 19,203,833 Common Shares, representing 33.01% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, as well as 4,986,666 common share purchase warrants, a $750,000 principal amount convertible debenture of the Company and a $860,000 principal amount convertible debenture of the Company.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Debenture Units to continue the Company's expansion plans for its Brazilian operations.  As the Company's Brazilian subsidiary continues to increase the number of transactions that it processes, it needs to acquire additional inventory and will require greater working capital to support its growth initiatives.

No finder's fee will be payable in connection with the issuance of the Debenture Units.

The Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval, and all securities issued in connection with Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period under applicable securities laws.
