Alta Vista announces tranche one of financing closed

Vancouver, BC -- October 28, 2015 -- Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. (AVV-CSE) is pleased to announce that it has filed all required paperwork, issued 1,620,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit for total proceeds of $81,000 and formally closed tranche one of its ongoing financing (see news release dated October 22, 2015).

Each Unit consists of one previously unissued common share and one transferable purchase warrant (a “Warrant) of the Company. Each Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise, to purchase one additional common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of issue of the Warrant. The Warrants will be exercisable at a price of $0.075 per share. The warrants will have an acceleration clause such that if after the required hold period the shares in the Company trade at, or above, $0.12 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may give notice to the warrant holders that they have 30 days to exercise the warrants.

All securities issued pursuant to the placement are subject to a hold period until February 23, 2016 (four months and one day after closing) under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Alta Vista will use the proceeds of the private placement to advance the formal agreement for the acquisition of Thor Pharma (see news release dated Aug. 14, 2015) and for completing due diligence on additional opportunities.

A finders’ fee of 10% was paid to Foremost Capital Inc. on the funds received with the same terms as above.
