MPH Ventures to Consolidate Shares 1 for 10, Private Placement Announced
  
 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 8, 2014) - MPH Ventures Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:MPS) (OTC GREY:MPSFF)(FRANKFURT:IJA1) announces that it intends to effect a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new common share for every ten common shares outstanding. The name of the Company will not change and the trading symbol will remain the same.

Management and the Board of Directors believe that the share consolidation is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Management believes that the share consolidation will allow MPH Ventures important flexibility in order for the Company to complete future financings.

The Company currently has 80,825,010 common shares outstanding and, following the share consolidation on a ten to one basis, will have 8,082,501 common shares outstanding. No fractional common shares will be issued and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post-consolidation common shares but the number of common shares to be received by a shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole common share.

MPH Ventures also announces it has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 12,000,000 post consolidated units (the "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per unit to raise proceeds of up to $600,000. Each Unit consists of one post consolidated common share and one non-transferable post consolidated share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one post consolidated common share for a period of two years at a price of $0.10 per share. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from this private placement for further property investigation and for general working capital purposes.

A finder's fee of up to 7% cash and 7% non-transferable warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") may be paid in connection with part of this private placement. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the finder to purchase a common share at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the closing date of the private placement.

The share consolidation and the private placement are subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
