Decisive Dividend Corporation Closing of Private Placement

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 25, 2015 / Decisive Dividend Corporation (TSX-V:DE.P) (the "Corporation"), a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement offering (the "Offering") of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts"). At the closing, the Corporation issued 1,004,250 Subscription Receipts at a price of $2.00 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,008,500. Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to receive one common share of the Corporation (a "Common Share") immediately prior to the closing of the Corporation's acquisition of PGR Ventures Inc. ("PGR"). The Corporation's acquisition of PGR will serve as the Corporation's Qualifying Transaction pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. It is anticipated that the Qualifying Transaction will close on or about February 27, 2015.

Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. (the "Agent") acted as agent for the Offering pursuant to an agency agreement between the Corporation and the Agent dated as of the date hereof. In consideration for its services, the Agent, and its sub-agents, received a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering as well as warrants ("Agent Warrants") equal to 7% of the Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering. Each Agent Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $2.00 per Common Share for a period of two years from the date of closing of the Qualifying Transaction of the Corporation.

A number of insiders of the Corporation participated in the Offering and purchased an aggregate of 180,000 Subscription Receipts. Accordingly, due to such purchases, the Offering is considered to be a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). In accordance with MI 61-101, the Corporation is not required to obtain a formal valuation or minority approval of the transaction due to the fact that it may rely on an exemption to those requirements contained in MI 61-101, namely that: (i) the Common Shares are not listed on any specified markets as set forth in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101; (ii) the fair market value of the Subscription Receipts issued to the insiders does not exceed $2,500,000; and (iii) the Corporation has one or more independent directors that are not employees of the Corporation and all of such independent directors approved the Offering.

The closing of the Offering and the Qualifying Transaction is subject to the final approval of the Exchange.
