Avricore Health Announces Amendment to Placement Terms

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avricore Health Inc. (TSXV: AVCR, OTC: AVCRF) ("Avricore Health" or the "Company") announces that it has amended the terms of its non-brokered private placement offering (the "Private Placement") of units of the Company (the "Units") previously announced on June 5, 2019 to decrease the Unit offering price to $0.05 per Unit and increase the maximum number of Units issuable pursuant to the Private Placement to up to 30,000,000 Units.

Each Unit will consist of (i) one common share of the Company (a "Common Share"); and (ii) one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months from issuance.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for working capital purposes to expand the network of its HealthTabtm operating blood-chemistry analyzers located in community pharmacies in the Greater Toronto Area known as the Rapid Access, Safety Reporting System (RASTR). HealthTabtm is a point-of-care test offered to consumers on a commercially available blood-analyzer looking at areas ranging from blood sugar, liver, kidney to metabolic functions with the purpose of supplying the consumer valuable data on their health, while RASTR provides de-individualized data to life-science companies seeking real-world evaluations of treated populations.

The Private Placement is expected to close on or about July 11, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSXV. Securities issued under the Private Placement, including the Finder Warrants (as defined below), if any, will be subject to a hold period, which will expire four months and one day from issuance.

The Company may pay finder's fees in cash to certain qualified eligible persons assisting the Company in the Private Placement in an amount equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders. The Company may also issue such number of finder warrants (the "Finder Warrants") to qualified eligible persons as is equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units purchased by subscribers introduced to the Company by such finders. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months from issuance.

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 any exemption from such registration is available.
