ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Document Security Systems, Inc., (NYSE American: DSS), ("DSS”, or the “Company"
, a leader in anti-counterfeit, authentication and consumer engagement technologies whose products and solutions are used by governments, corporations and financial institutions to protect against fraud, help ensure authenticity and engage the consumer, announces today that it has entered into and closed on a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Mr. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, for the private placement of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common shares (the “Offering”).

“Mr. Chan’s purchase of the entire 6,000,000 share private placement at above market rates clearly represents his continued confidence and commitment to the long-term success of DSS,” said Frank D.

Today’s private placement is further validation of that commitment, management’s vision and our broad execution strategies to improve profitability and grow shareholder value. Mr. Chan believes DSS is positioned to become a ‘unicorn’ in its industry, and we fully support his leadership and vision.”
Mr. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan spent the past 45 years specializing in financial restructuring and corporate transformation to unlock value and unleash entrepreneurial zeal while managing risk.
