Gravitas Provides Clarification Regarding New India Transaction

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 8, 2019) - In connection with Gravitas Financial Inc.'s (CSE: GFI) ("Gravitas") previously announced sale (the "New India Transaction") of all of its interest in New India Investment Corp. to Principle Capital Partners Corporation ("Principle"), Gravitas wishes to disclose that Vikas Ranjan, a director and President of Gravitas, is also a director of Principle, and that Gravitas' management information circular (the "Circular") dated September 30, 2019 in respect of Gravitas' annual and special meeting held on October 29, 2019, which, among other things, described and sought shareholder approval for the New India Transaction, inadvertently failed to identify Mr. Ranjan as a "related party" for the purposes of the New India Transaction. As a related party, Mr. Ranjan's 10,200,500 common shares of Gravitas were required to be excluded for the purposes of the minority approval requirement applicable to "related party transactions" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Mr. Ranjan had disclosed his conflict of interest to the Board of Gravitas and recused himself from voting on the board resolution that approved the New India Transaction.

Gravitas is pleased to announce that even with the exclusion of Mr. Ranjan's common shares (in addition to the 13,028,950 common shares held by Yuhua International Capital Inc, as set out in the Circular), the resolution to approve the New India Transaction was still approved by over 99% of the votes entitled to vote on the resolution. Gravitas expects to the close the New India Transaction on or about November 12, 2019.

A copy of the Circular is filed under Gravitas' profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
