BIOflex Technologies Inc. (formerly Ovid Capital Ventures Inc.) (TSX VENTURE:OCA.P) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing, as of August 7, 2015 (the "Closing Date"), of its Qualifying Transaction, as defined under Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), involving the acquisition of all of the assets of BIOflex Medical Magnetics, Inc. ("BIOflex") and a concurrent private placement of 10,265,466 units in the capital of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.1125 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,154,864.93 (the "Offering").

The Exchange issued its final approval bulletin in respect of the Qualifying Transaction and the Offering (collectively, the "Transactions") on August 17, 2015 and the Transactions are now completed.

On August 13, 2014, the Company changed its name to "BIOflex Technologies Inc.". As of the opening of markets on August 19, 2015, the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") will commence trading on the Exchange under the symbol "BFT".

The Qualifying Transaction was carried out by means of an asset purchase agreement, dated April 29, 2015 (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into between the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Ovid Acquisition Corp. ("Acquireco"), BIOflex, and BIOflex's sole shareholder iTech Medical, Inc. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Acquireco acquired all of the assets of BIOflex in exchange for cash consideration in the amount of $60,000 and the issuance of 17,225,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.1125 per share.

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, the Company completed the Offering of Units, which consisted of a brokered private placement of 1,837,111 Units and a non-brokered private placement of an additional 8,428,355 Units at a price of $0.1125 per Unit. Each Unit was comprised of one (1) Common Share and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date.

The Exchange granted the Company an exemption from the sponsorship requirements under the policies of the Exchange in respect of the Qualifying Transaction on August 13, 2015.

Jones, Gable & Company Limited (the "Agent") acted as agent for the brokered portion of the Offering. As consideration for its services in connection with the Transactions, the Agent (and its sub-agents) received: (i) a cash commission in the amount $18,687.50; (ii) 183,711 non-transferable agent compensation options, each entitling the holder thereof, for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, to acquire one (1) one Common Share at a price of $0.1125 per share; and (iii) reimbursement of the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.

Certain senior officers and directors of the Company (each, a "Related Party") participated in the Offering by subscribing for aggregate of 1,710,000 Units at an aggregate subscription price of $192,375. The participation of each Related Party in the Offering is considered a "related party transaction" under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (Québec) ("Regulation 61-101") and the corresponding Policy 5.9 of the Exchange. The Company relied on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101, respectively, for exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under Regulation 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Units issued to the Related Parties, nor the amount of consideration paid therefor, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

A material change report in respect of the related party transactions was not filed at least 21 days in advance of the Offering, as the subscriptions from the Related Parties were not confirmed until shortly before the Closing Date and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

All securities issued pursuant to the Transactions or which may be issued upon the exercise thereof (collectively, the "Securities") are subject to a four-month plus one-day hold period from the Closing Date, expiring December 8, 2015, pursuant to securities legislation and the policies of the Exchange.
