Vitality closes $500,000 private placement

Trading Symbol: VPI

VANCOUVER, April 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Vitality Products Inc. (the "Company" or "Vitality") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") pursuant to which the Company has now issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 units of the Company (each a "Unit"), at a subscription price of $0.10 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $500,000.

Each Unit consists of one common share (each a "Common Share") and one share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant") of the Company, and each such Warrant now entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company for a period of one year from the closing of the Private Placement at an exercise price per Warrant common share of $0.15; provided, however, that if at any time after the date that is more than four months and one day following the closing of the Private Placement the closing price of the Company's common shares is equal to or greater than $0.40 per common share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and in such case the Warrants will expire on the 10th business day after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for the Company's general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Common Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units are now subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the date of closing in each instance.
