NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES



Philadelphia, PA - August 30, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Further to its new release on August 13, 2019, VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (the "Company" or "VSBLTY") (CSE: VSBY) (5VS.F) (VSBGF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its brokered private placement of $1,000 principal amount 10% convertible unsecured debentures (the "Debentures") for gross proceeds $1,165,000 (the "Offering"). Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Agent") acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner for the Offering.

The Debentures will bear interest from August 29, 2019 (the "Closing Date") at a rate of 10% per annum on an accrual basis, calculated and payable semi-annually, and will mature on August 29, 2021 (the "Maturity Date").

The principal amount of the Debentures may be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time before the Maturity Date, into units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at $0.35 per Unit, if converted at any time before one year after the Closing Date (amended from the previously-disclosed conversion price of $0.45 per Unit), or otherwise convertible at $0.60 per Unit if converted after one year after the Closing Date but before the Maturity Date.


Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of a Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Share (each a, "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.60 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date, subject to acceleration. The Company may exercise its warrant acceleration right, if on any ten consecutive trading days, beginning on the date that is four months and one day following the Closing Date, the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the CSE is greater than $1.00 per Share. If the Company exercises its warrant acceleration right, the new expiry date of the Warrants will be the 30th day following the notice of such exercise.

The Company paid a cash commission to the Agent of $93,200, a finance fee of 99,857 Shares and issued 266,286 non-transferable broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants"). Each Broker Warrant entitles the Agent to purchase one Share at the price of $0.60 per Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for acquisitions and general and corporate working capital purposes.

The securities issued in the Offering are subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period, which expires on December 30, 2019.

Investor Ideas #Potcasts; #Cannabis News and #Stocks on the Move: Interview with CEO and Founder of CA Craft Cannabis Company, Herbes

Investor Ideas #Potcasts; #Cannabis News and #Stocks on the Move: Interview with CEO and Founder of CA Craft Cannabis Company, Herbes



Delta, Kelowna, BC –August 28, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today's podcast overview/transcript

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast I interview Jonas Lalehzadeh, CEO and Founder of Herbes, a craft cannabis company based out of Orange County, California, where we discussed recent developments with Herbes as well as the cannabis connoisseur market in the U.S.

As California is one of the largest cannabis markets in the world right now, how did you set about differentiating Herbes from your competitors?

“I took a look at the industry and saw that there were a lot of openings in a lot of areas where customers could really benefit from a better service and product. What separates us specifically, is that we are more interested in providing superior services and superiour products then actually making money. I think a lot of people who are getting into the industry now see cannabis as a cash cow, especially a lot of the investors getting it. Although the bottom line matter, most companies will end up going out of business, or not really thriving, if all they focus on is the bottom line. So what differentiates us is quality and craftsmanship. Everything is geared towards giving someone a very good experience.”

You’ve recently launched the Trophy, your cannacigar onto the market, could you discuss how that product development came about?

“The development of the Trophy was birthed out of the need to develop a better smoking product. A lot of the old ways, and still current ways of smoking, is to put it (cannabis product) in a paper cone with a cardboard filter, and that just drove me crazy. Having a damp cardboard filter is first not sanitary and second it's not what they paid for. For an 1/8th of dry flower, you’re paying anywhere from $60 to $70 and then putting it inside of a cone thats $0,20. That seemed ludicrous to me. So we developed a patented glass tip filter, with a proprietary hemp leaflet that actually burns slower. Along with the glass tip, it's a very sturdy, antimicrobial product where you can pass it around and everyone has the same experience.”



                             

                                                                     
                             

 

 

 

Trophy

The first and only luxury, hand-rolled cannagar featuring a glass tip, hemp paper and dipped in Kief. At 2 grams, Trophy is also the largest of its kind anywhere.

When looking at the cannabis connoisseur market, what are you finding consumers are looking for and how have your attempted to meet those demands?

“It all comes down to how much care are putting into the product and how is the product being made. In each of the boxes that go to retail we tell the story as to the farmer who grew it as well as the roller who rolled it. The connoisseurs greatly appreciate knowing exactly, not only the farm where it came from, but how they’re growing and then for the roller what technique they used. So that’s included with the product and then on social media we will definitely share that story and the benefits of this type of growing versus another type of growing.”

As your focus right now is on the flower component, are there specific strains you’re focussing on or more the experience the flower offers?

“For us to really hang our hat on naming by strain, we would have to dive into the genealogy of strains, which would be impossible at this point in the industry. Instead we are going to focus more on modalities and how they feel as far as: this is a sativa, it's going to wake you up, this is a hybrid it's going to calm your mind down,.or maybe you’ve had a long day and just want to chill with your friends, so this is an indica.  I think it’s more honest.”

Jonas and I continued to discuss the California market, as well as potential upcoming markets for Herbes as well as their potential move into distillate/vape technology in the future.

August 29 Crypto Corner

The crypto market has suffered a considerable drop in the last 24 hours, with Bitcoin (BTC) losing around $500 alone in less than an hour yesterday, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin is currently trading for $9,490, its lowest trading price in a month, after failing to reclaim support around $10,000. Altcoins were hit harder still, with Ether (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC) falling roughly 10 percent in the same period. At press time, the total crypto market capitalization is $246 billion, which is $20 billion less than this time yesterday.

Chinese state-run English-language news outlet the Global Times tweeted that recent news of the People’s Republic of China issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) is wrong.

Refuting media reports of launching a state-backed cryptocurrency in the coming months, #China's central bank termed them as "inaccurate speculation."

This is at odds with a report from China Internet Information Center, itself an authorized government source, which claimed that such a currency was soon to launch.

The nominee for the chairmanship of South Korea’s top financial regulator expressed a cautious approach to cryptocurrencies, according to local outlet Chosun Ilbo. A loose translation reads:

"Incorporating virtual currency into institutional finance may cause side effects such as recurring speculative fever and money laundering issues. There needs to be a legal basis for this first.”

"Currently, the virtual currency exchange is established and operated autonomously in the market, but I know there is a movement to strengthen regulations such as the introduction of the declaration system to protect investors internationally. There is a need for an early revision of the Act on Specific Financial Information Act, which is mainly focused on strengthening the duty of anti-money laundering in the handling business."

Cointelegraph reports that Portugal’s Tax Authority will not tax cryptocurrency trading or payments made in crypto. The country’s Tax and Customs Authority confirmed that crypto transactions or payments are exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT), citing a 2015 ruling by the European Court of Justice which argued for Bitcoin’s status as a form of payment and thus not taxable.

Peer-to-peer file sharing protocol BitTorrent, which is a subsidiary of blockchain firm TRON, will begin testing a live streaming platform, according to a blog post yesterday. Called BitTorrent Live, or BLive, the new service will allow tipping in cryptocurrency, among other features. Justin Sun, founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent, explained:

“With the continuous growth of telecommunication technology and social media, livestreams have gained a tremendous edge and have become the dark horse of online communication. It gives rise to outstanding content creators who have thousands of followers but don’t get their fair share of advertisements and virtual gifts.”
