Tauriga Sciences Inc. Enters into Three Comprehens

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 16, 2017) - Tauriga Sciences Inc. (OTC PINK: TAUG) ("Tauriga" or "the Company"), a Company engaged in the building of businesses in the life sciences space, has today announced the execution of three comprehensive amendment agreements that directly correspond to the three distinct convertible debentures currently held by Group 10 Holdings LLC ("Group 10"). These three referenced outstanding debentures include: July 14, 2015 Debenture, August 3, 2016 Debenture, and March 31, 2017 Debenture. These amendment agreements were negotiated with Group 10 to address various default and penalty clauses that had the potential to result in massive future dilution and indebtedness. The Company firmly believes that the vast majority of recent dilution is attributable to the malpractice and subsequent conduct committed by its predecessor audit firm Cowan Gunteski & Co. P.A. ("Cowan Gunteski"). 

The result of this malpractice was Tauriga's inability to file its Fiscal Year 2015 Form 10-K ("Annual Report") during late July 2015 and its subsequent delisting from the OTCQB Exchange on July 31, 2015; these events triggered the defaults and penalties that have affected the Company ever since (specifically in reference to the Union Capital $104,000 Note of May 28, 2015 and the Group 10 $96,000 Note of July 14, 2015). The Company is awaiting the assignment of the Trial date from the New Jersey Federal District Court (Trenton, New Jersey); the next Scheduled Court Date is set for May 23, 2017. The Company has previously disclosed that it is seeking monetary damages at Trial, in excess of $4,500,000 USD. 

In executing these amendment agreements with Group 10, the Company has successfully addressed the most urgent and critical issues and as a result, has strengthened its investor profile and capital structure. The Company has specifically addressed the following issues: the Conversion price(s) and term(s) ("conversion terms"), most favored Nation status ("favored Nation"), prohibitions against the Company securing other debt instruments ("permitted indebtedness"), and prohibitions against the Company entering into transactions which create a lien on the Company's assets ("permitted lien"). Most importantly, as long as the Company's share price remains at a minimum of $0.001 and the Company's market capitalization remains at a minimum of $1,000,000 USD, the 75% discount applied to Group 10 conversions (which contractually was enforceable once the Company's share price closed below $0.002), shall no longer apply. The other above mentioned issues/terms have been wholly forfeited by Group 10. 

Tauriga's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Seth M. Shaw expressed, "The Company is pleased to have entered into these amendment agreements and appreciates the significant concessions agreed upon by Group 10. The Company believes that it has enhanced its ability to continue to fund its ongoing operations. Lastly, management wishes to reaffirm to shareholders its unwavering commitments to both make it to the finish line and build a successful future -- long term."
