LeoNovus to use funds to ramp Market Activities

PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - LeoNovus Inc. ("LeoNovus" or the "Company") (TSX-V: LTV) is pleased to announce today that it has entered into an agreement with MGI Securities Inc. ("MGI") for a brokered private placement of CDN$3,000,000 gross proceeds (the "Offering") based on 20,000,000 units (the "Units") priced at CDN$0.15 per Unit. Each Unit comprises one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (the "Common Share") and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one (1) Common Share for a period of three (3) years from the closing date of the Offering at an exercise price of CDN$0.24 per Common Share. The Company has also agreed, subject to regulatory approval, to grant MGI an agent's option (the "Agent's Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional fifteen percent (15%) of Units, exercisable at any time on or before the date that is two days prior to the closing date of the Offering at the same price. The Offering is anticipated to close on or about March 15, 2012. Proceeds of the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four (4) month and one (1) day hold period from the date of issuance. Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including acceptance and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company has received to date aggregate bridge funds of US$89,000 from a non-related party and from certain LeoNovus Directors. The terms of the bridge funding were set by the non-related party as a 60-day secured loan at fifteen percent (15%) interest. The directors are providing the remainder of the bridge loan funds on the same terms as the non-related party and it is anticipated that this may include up to an additional US$50,000.

In its consideration and approval of the bridge loan transactions, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") took note of the fact that the agreements with the directors are related party transactions, as defined in securities regulations[1] and that it is in the best interests of the Company to conclude the agreements expeditiously. The Board determined that the transactions are exempt from formal valuation and minority approval requirements.[2] Individual directors with an interest in the transactions complied with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in respect of the transactions.

LeoNovus is developing a high performance browser-based Internet software platform with a managed system that will provide consumer electronic devices such as HDTVs access to all the features, content, and functionality available on the Internet without the malware, security and support issues of a PC.

The securities offered in the Offering have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act as amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
