REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Dec. 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Biotricity Inc. (OTCQB: BTCY), a medical diagnostic and consumer healthcare technology company dedicated to delivering innovative, biometric remote monitoring solutions, today announced the entry into agreements and closing relating to the sale of 450,164 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $5.50 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering will be approximately $2.5M before deducting estimated offering expenses. The shares of common stock have been sold to existing investors of the Company.
“We are pleased to announce that we have closed an equity financing from our existing investors. Our top priorities are protecting our capital structure, maintaining shareholder value, and commercializing our product line. This strategic financing puts us in a good position to begin executing on our 2018 strategy and create additional value for our shareholders this year,” said Waqaas Al-Siddiq, Biotricity Founder and CEO. “We are proud of the support we continue to receive from our investors, who recognize the work we are doing and see the broad potential of our biometric remote monitoring solutions.”

The proceeds from the financing will be used to accelerate Biotricity’s go-to-market commercialization plan, including on-boarding new sales staff, expanding strategic partnerships, developing the company’s brand and corporate positioning, and starting sales of Bioflux.
