Toronto, Ontario – June 30, 2016 – The Mint Corporation (TSX-V: MIT) (the “Company” or “Mint”) is pleased to announce the closing of its rights offering originally announced on May 26, 2016.

Upon closing of the rights offering, the Company issued 51,379,952 common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,568,997. The rights offering was not over-subscribed and, as a result, all subscribers received the number of common shares for which they subscribed and no funds are required to be returned to investors.

Under the terms of the rights offering, each eligible securityholder was entitled to subscribe for one common share for each common share held by such securityholder (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”).  The rights offering included an additional subscription privilege (the “Additional Subscription Privilege”) under which eligible securityholders were entitled to subscribe for common shares not otherwise subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege.  The Company issued 49,983,802 common shares under the Basic Subscription Privilege, of which 46,879,277 common shares were issued to insiders of the Company as a group.  The Company issued 1,396,150 common shares under the Additional Subscription Privilege, of which 72,000 common shares were issued to insiders of the Company as a group.

There was no stand-by commitment for the rights offering.

The Company did not retain any person to organize or participate in the solicitation of the exercise of rights under the rights offering.  Accordingly, the Company did not pay any fees or commissions relating to the solicitation of the exercise of rights in connection with the rights offering.

The rights offering triggered the adjustment provisions of the outstanding common shares purchased warrants issued by Mint.  Those provisions operate by adjusting the number of common shares issued upon exercise of the warrants.  The number of common shares received upon exercise of the outstanding warrants will be 122.06% of the number which would have been received if those warrants had been exercised prior to the rights offering.  This adjustment does not apply to 10,000,000 warrants issued to Gravitas Financial Inc. on June 23, 2015 and 500,000 broker warrants issued on that date.

Following completion of the rights offering there are 125,022,742 common shares issued and outstanding.
