VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 15, 2016) - Kaizen Discovery Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KZD) announced today that it has agreed with its majority shareholder, HPX TechCo Inc. (HPX), to convert the full amount of principal and interest owing on a loan facility provided to Kaizen by HPX, totaling approximately C$5.07 million, into common shares of Kaizen at a conversion price of C$0.1575 per share.

As a result of the conversion, the amount owing on the loan facility will be reduced to zero and Kaizen will issue 32,210,460 common shares to HPX, taking HPX's ownership in Kaizen from its current level of 60.7% to 66.8%. The conversion price of C$0.1575 per share represents a 25% discount to Kaizen's closing share price of C$0.21 on September 15, 2016.

The loan facility was established in 2013 as part of the reverse take-over transaction with HPX. Kaizen had previously received the full C$5.0 million principal amount available under the loan facility. The HPX loan facility will remain in place following the conversion and will remain available to be drawn by Kaizen in the future.
The conversion of the outstanding principal and interest on the HPX loan facility into common shares of Kaizen is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Details of the HPX loan facility are summarized in Kaizen's December 22, 2015 news release available at www.kaizendiscovery.com or www.sedar.com.
