3D Signatures Announces Intention to File for Bankruptcy

TORONTO, May 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Signa­­­­­­tures Inc. (TSX-V:DXD) (OTCQB:TDSGF) (FSE:3D0) (the "Company" or "3DS"), a personalized medicine company with a proprietary software platform (TeloView^TM) based on the three-dimensional analysis of chromosomal signatures, today announced its intention to assign itself into bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (the "BIA") and the layoff of its employees and contractors.

As a research and development stage company, 3DS is primarily dependent on funding from investors to continue as a going concern. While 3DS has been successful in reducing its overall cost structure, it has been unable to secure the additional financing required to fund its operations.  As a result, the Company intends to assign itself into bankruptcy under the BIA.  In addition, the Company has conducted a layoff of its employees and contractors. Subsequent to the filing of the assignment into bankruptcy, the Licensed Insolvency Trustee may request certain key employees to provide assistance with its administration. The Board of Directors of 3DS has not resigned and will cooperate fully with the Licensed Insolvency Trustee once they are retained in accordance with the resolution passed by the Board of Directors on May 30, 2018.
