INDIVA to Close Financing for Up to $15 Million

INDIVA has received approximately $10 million of orders and is expected to close the financing in late July or early August, 2017.
On the closing of the financing, investors will acquire subscription receipts at a price of $0.75 per subscription receipt, each to automatically convert into common shares on the completion of the reverse takeover and change of business transaction between INDIVA and Rainmaker. Sunel Securities is engaged as lead agent and is expected to form a syndicate of investment banks to participate in the Offering.
