Quinsam Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 17, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY ANY UNITED STATES NEWS DISTRIBUTION

Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") today announced that it will proceed with a best efforts non-brokered private placement financing of up to 6 million common shares of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share for gross proceeds of up to $900,000 ("the Offering"). The proceeds of the Offering will be used for investment activities and working capital purposes.

In connection with this placement, Quinsam may pay a 6% cash finder's fee to certain eligible arm's length finders. The Offering is subject to regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that the private placement will be completed as proposed. Closing is expected on or about December 4, 2014.

Performance Since Our Last Fund Raising

Quinsam would also like to highlight its performance and activities since it last raised funds in March 2014.

The company has achieved profitability in all reported quarters since new management assumed responsibility for the business and most notably earned $0.03 per share in the quarter ending September 30, 2014. Our investment portfolio has increased by approximately 30% since our last equity raise in March 2014, far exceeding the considerable drop in the TSX Venture Exchange Composite Index during the same period. Additionally, our warrant portfolio has grown materially over the period. Since we value our warrants at zero unless they have intrinsic value, many of our warrant investments have no carrying value. We have seen two large warrant wins over the last six months in Nuvo Research Inc. and Enerdynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp.

Recently, Quinsam announced its first advisory role with Solarvest BioEnergy Inc., signaling a new area of focus and revenue generation in its business model.

Also noteworthy, and with great satisfaction, the Company achieved its stated goal of initiating and paying its first quarterly dividend to shareholders. Management continues to implement its business plan in an effort to create ongoing increases in value in the company for the benefit of its shareholders.
