VIV Avivagen Inc

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, //Accesswire// November 20, 2013 - Avivagen Inc. (TSXV:VIV), a wellness company developing and delivering products that support and enhance the health and quality of life for animals and the people who care for them, announces a correction to its press release of November 14, 2013 relating to the closing of a private placement.

On November 14, 2013 Avivagen announced that it had raised $1,345,747.97 in a second closing of a private placement for the sale of 19,224,971 units. Due to a clerical error made by a party participating in the financing, the actual amount raised was $1,239,452.97 for the sale of 17,706,471 units with each unit being comprised of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, for a unit price of $0.07. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of Avivagen at an additional purchase price of $0.12 for three years from closing. This brings the total amount raised in closings in October and November 2013 to $3.31 Million.

As a result of the lower proceeds, Avivagen paid only $53,572.65 in cash commission and did not issue any common share purchase warrants to finders in connection with the private placement.

All securities issued via this placement are subject to statutory hold period expiring on March 14, 2014. The private placement remains subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

About OxC-beta

Avivagen's proprietary and patent-protected technology is based on its discoveries concerning carotenoid antioxidants. The novel natural compounds discovered by Avivagen support the body's own systems to maintain and enhance health, particularly by supporting immune function. Avivagen's commercial-stage application of its technology is Fully-Oxidized beta-Carotene (OxC-beta). OxC-beta compounds occur naturally as carotenoid oxidation products in vegetation, but in minute amounts. They have been developed to support the health of companion animals and for use in the global food animal market.

Research results indicate OxC-beta supports innate immune function, which can help maintain good health. In pets, OxC-beta supports overall vitality and energy, mobility and joint function, skin, coat and gut. Results observed in food animals have included healthier growth, better utilization of feed and decreased mortality. In food animals, it is intended that use of OxC-beta avoids the feeding of antibiotics.

The commercial products of Avivagen are Oximunol(TM) Chewables, OxC-beta for livestock and Vivamune(TM) Health Chews.
