May 13, 2016 | By Business Wire News

FITCHBURG, Mass.

(TSX-V:SDZ) (OTCBB:SDEV)

Security Devices International Inc. (“SDI” or the “Company”), announces an update to the status of its proposed acquisition and financing, as previously press released on March 3 and April 21, 2016. The previous announcements detailed that SDI had entered into an exclusive, non-binding term sheet to acquire a US based manufacturer and distributor of less-lethal tactical products with an anticipated closing date of May 6, 2016, conditional on financing.

To date the Company has not found an acceptable financing structure nor completed a definitive agreement. As a result, the seller’s agreement to deal exclusively with SDI has expired. The company is continuing to work on an acceptable financing to enable the transaction.

As additional information becomes available, the Company will provide updates in subsequent press releases.

Although SDI believes that the expectations reflected in forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that the expectations of any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct.

Except as required by law, SDI disclaims any intention and assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements to reflect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, changes in factors affecting such forward looking statements or otherwise.
