(TSXV:IVI) ("Ivrnet") is pleased to announce that it has raised $515,174.90 via the private placement of 20,606,996 common shares at a price of $0.025 per share. This is the first closing of a private placement offering by Ivrnet of up to 60,000,000 common shares (the "Offered Shares") at a price of $0.025 per Offered Share for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering is available to accredited investors and to Ivrnet's existing shareholders resident in Canada (except Newfoundland and Labrador).

The Offering is being made pursuant to the grant of a discretionary waiver from the TSX Venture Exchange, pursuant to its bulletin dated April 7, 2014, of the TSXV's minimum $0.05 pricing requirement. Further closings of the Offering are subject to receipt of subscription agreements from suitable investors and receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval. Ivrnet also announces that it has entered into a Third Amending Agreement to the Loan Agreement with its senior commercial lender to revise the repayment terms and amend Ivrnet's financial covenants.

Insider Participation

In the first closing, Ivrnet issued the following shares to certain insiders of the Company or their affiliates: (i) David Snell, the largest shareholder of the Company, a current Director and the former President and CEO (6,120,000 Offered Shares ($153,000.00)); (ii) Andrew Watts, the current President and CEO and a Director (1,680,000 Offered Shares ($42,000.00)); and (iii) Scott Pickard, the current Chairman of the Board (2,728,400 Offered Shares ($68,210.00)). The balance of the proceeds from the first closing ($251,964.90) was raised from parties at arm's length to Ivrnet.

The aforementioned participation by insiders in the Offering is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the Offered Shares issued to such insiders does not exceed 25% of Ivrnet's pre-transaction market capitalization.

Maximum Offering

The maximum amount to be raised pursuant to the Offering is $1,500,000. Ivrnet will seek to raise the balance of the Offering of $984,825.10 (39,393,004 Offered Shares) from accredited investors and from existing shareholders resident in Canada (except Newfoundland and Labrador). If the maximum proceeds of $1,500,000 are raised, it is anticipated that the net proceeds will be used to pay certain trade payables ($675,000) and for general working capital.
