VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLTa 21 Blockchain Corp. (“DLTa21" or the “Company”), a Canadian technology company, is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement financing of 14,600,419 shares of DLTa21 at $0.014 per Share for total aggregate proceeds of up to CAD$204,406 (the “Placement”), as previously announced on February 19, 2020. All of the Shares issued in the Placement will be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period from the date of closing. DLTa21 intends to use the net proceeds from the Placement to repay an outstanding loan, to settle accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities and for general working capital purposes.

Certain directors and officers of the Company acquired securities in the private placement. Accordingly, the private placement is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101”). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the transaction nor the consideration to be received for those securities insofar as the transaction involves interested parties exceeds $2,500,000. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the private placement as the details of the private placement and the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close the private placement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

The securities offered 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 U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy securities in the United States, nor in any other jurisdiction.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of DLTa 21 Blockchain Corp.
