Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2017) - Tova Ventures II Inc. (TSXV: TOVA.P) ("Tova"), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that it completed its initial public offering by issuing 3,500,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share, for gross proceeds of $350,000.

The common shares of Tova will be listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the trading symbol "TOVA.P" at the opening of the market on or about October 19, 2017.

The net proceeds of the offering will be used to provide Tova with funds with which to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" under the capital pool company program of the Exchange.

Richardson GMP Limited ("RGMP") acted as agent for the initial public offering. In connection with the offering, Tova granted RGMP agent's warrants to acquire 350,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share, and paid RGMP a commission of $35,000 (10% of the gross proceeds of the offering) and a corporate finance fee. The warrants may be exercised for a period of 24 months from the date of listing of the common shares on the Exchange.

At the closing of the initial public offering, Tova also granted incentive stock options to its officers and directors to acquire a total of 572,000 common shares. The options may be exercised for a period of five years at a price of $0.10 per share.

Garfinkle Biderman LLP acted as counsel for Tova, Getz Prince Wells LLP acted as counsel for RGMP.

Certain insiders of Tova subscribed for 185,000 shares, which is a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The participation of the insiders was exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in paragraph (a) of Section 5.5 and paragraph (a) of Section 5.7, respectively, of MI 61-101. Insofar as it applies to interested parties (as that term is defined in MI 61-101) neither the fair market value of the shares issued nor the consideration paid for the shares pursuant to the Offering exceeded 25% of Tova's market capitalization. Tova did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the offering as the details of the participation of the related parties of Tova had not been confirmed at that time.

A portion of the offering constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as officers and directors of the Tova participated in the offering.

At the closing of the offering, there were 5,720,000 common shares issued and outstanding in the capital of Tova, of which 2,220,000 have been issued prior to the offering. 2,185,000 shares have been placed in escrow in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.
