, 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”).

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.”
