Eight Solutions Announces Debt Conversion
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 28, 2015 – Eight Solutions Inc. (CSE: ES) (“Eight Solutions” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that on July 28, 2015 it has entered into an agreement to convert an aggregate of $2,923,869 of indebtedness owed to the Company’s CEO, Rory Armes, through the issuance of 2,847,738 common shares at a deemed issuance price of $0.50 per common share and an unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,500,000 with a maturity date of January 27, 2018 subject to any earlier conversion of the outstanding amount in accordance with the terms of the debenture. Under the terms of the debenture, the terms of remaining outstanding balance of the indebtedness owed to Mr. Armes in the amount of $1,500,000 have been amended such that the previous demand loan bearing interest at 7.5% payable quarterly has been reduced to an interest rate of 6% payable monthly and all amounts outstanding under the loan are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.55 per common share. All securities issued in connection with the debt conversion transaction will be subject to a four month statutory hold period. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), the shares for debt transaction constitutes a “related party transaction” as a related party of the Company will receive 2,847,738 common shares of the Company in connection with the debt conversion and a convertible debenture which entitles the holder to convert the principal into an additional 2,727,728 common shares. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101, based on the fact that the securities of the Company are only listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange and the determination that the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves related parties, does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. A material change report will be filed less than 21 days before the closing date of the transaction. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances to allow the Company to improve its financial position by reducing its accrued liabilities.

The securities 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 may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
