Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 22, 2019) - Further to its news release issued on May 28, 2019 announcing the entering into of an accommodation agreement and related sale and investment solicitation process ("SISP"), Gravitas Financial Inc. (CSE: GFI) ("Gravitas") today announces that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Global Business Services for Multimedia ("GBS") and Mobile Telecom Group LLC ("MTG" and together with GBS, the "Buyers") which sets out the key terms pursuant to which the Buyers will acquire Gravitas' shares of The Mint Corporation ("Mint") as well as Gravitas' interest in certain outstanding loans and other indebtedness (the "Proposed Transaction"). GBS currently owns a 49% interest in Mint Middle East Ltd.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements which the parties expect to be completed by the end of this month.

Further details relating to the Proposed Transaction will be announced upon the execution of the definitive agreement. Gravitas intends to seek shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction at a special meeting of its shareholders to be held on October 16, 2019.

In connection with the SISP, Gravitas continues to consider the sales of other businesses and property and has, or may enter into, other non-binding letters of intent. Gravitas will provide further information when, and if, definitive agreements regarding such sales are executed.
