VAPE Holdings Agrees to Terms on $5 Million Equity Facility

AGOURA HILLS, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 19, 2016) - VAPE Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: VAPE) (the "Company" or "VAPE"), a holding company focused on providing healthy, efficient, and sustainable vaporization products, announced today it has entered into binding agreements for long-term equity capital at market prices that will support the future growth of the Company.

On April 19, 2016, the Company agreed to terms for an equity line that contemplates its single financing partner providing up to $5 Million over the next three years. The Company has the ability to sell the equity at its discretion at prevailing market prices with no discount.

"This opportunity to secure long-term equity capital with a single institutional partner at the market price at the Company's discretion by selling only enough shares to meet our needs over an extended period of time is a huge plus for VAPE. We hope that this long-term financing with no discount to market and no additional debt will further reduce the pressure on our market that we have experienced in the past. With approximately 80% of the historical convertible debt restructured and consolidated into our new funding partner, I believe that we can continue to execute on a responsible growth trajectory," stated Justin Braune, CEO of VAPE. "When I took on the position as CEO last year I didn't think that we would be able to have a definitive plan in place to stabilize our equity picture this quickly. To me, this shows extreme confidence by our financing party in our management and the current direction of our company. This financial vehicle will help us support the release of our CBD line as well as other possible business lines and strategic acquisitions down the road," Mr. Braune continued.

In addition, the board of directors of VAPE has decided to expand from 3 members to 5 members by bringing on additional independent members over the next 45 days. Management is striving to increase its corporate governance standards and the first step of that plan is to bring some independent members to the board. "VAPE Holdings is still a young company and we believe that strategically adding outside executives with significant business and market experience will help us better navigate the rapid growth we are projecting," stated Mr. Braune.
