OTTAWA, June 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Ackroo Inc.

The company expects to pay a finder's fee to certain eligible persons for subscriptions to the offering completed by qualified investors, who have been introduced by such finders, within the parameters permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The proposed private placement will be completed pursuant to available exemptions from prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The securities issued under this private placement will be subject to restrictions on transfer, including a hold period ending four months after issuance. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for growth and technology development of the Company.
