Legal Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements: This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are indicated expectations or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this news release include that Premier can close a private placement of up to $4,000,000, that the first tranche of the Offering will close on or around May 16, 2016, that no finder's fees or commissions will be paid in relation to the Offering, that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the purposes set out above and/or for general working capital, and that the resulting capitalization combined with new strategies to deliver earnings will be adequate to support growth. Factors that could cause actual results to be materially different include but are not limited to the following: that Premier may not be able to raise sufficient capital to accomplish its intentions and that even if it does close the maximum private placement, capital alone may not be sufficient for Premier to grow its business, that Premier may not be able to raise capital under the private placement on its own and may need to use a finder, broker and/or investment bank resulting in payment of fees and commissions, and that Premier may need to reallocate the use of proceeds set out above. Growth depends on several factors as well as market conditions. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. It is not our policy to update forward looking statements.
