Founders Advantage Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FCF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Clarus Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc. as co-lead underwriters on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") to purchase, on a bought deal private placement basis, 5,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of C$4.00 per common share, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$20,000,000. The Company has also granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 750,000 common shares at the same price, exercisable by the Underwriters for a period of up to two days prior to closing for additional gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000.
