Seattle, Washington, October 22, 2013 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Corporation") (TSXV:VPT) is pleased to announce that it has increased its debenture unit placement from $300,000 to $500,000 and has completed its non-brokered private placement of debenture units of the Corporation previously announced on September 27, 2013 (the "Offering"). The Corporation issued $500,000 in $1,000 principal amounts of convertible non-secured debentures ("Debentures"), which shall mature three years from the date of issuance of the Debentures (the "Maturity Date"), and issued a total of 2,500,000 common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of three years. The Debentures shall bear a 12% annual simple interest calculated on the principal amount, with any accrued but unpaid interest under the Debentures due and payable on the anniversary of the Debenture in either cash or Common Shares (at the option of the Corporation) with the number of Common Shares being determined by using the 10 day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on that date that is five days prior to the anniversary date (subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange). The Debentures may be converted by the holder at any time following the date of issuance at a price of $0.10 per share and the Debentures may be repaid partially, or in full, by the Corporation to any or all of the subscribers at any time without penalty.

The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to incur expenditures for: (i) product and service commercialization of the VMS(TM); (ii) clinical validation of VMS(TM) functionality, including applications for additional diagnoses and heart diseases; and (iii) for general working capital purposes and potentially to repay debt and outstanding payables.

All securities issued are subject to a four month hold period expiring February 23, 2014 in accordance with applicable securities laws.
