Difference Capital Makes Additional Investment in Thunderbird Films and Acts as Advisor in Oversubscribed Financing of $11.5 Million<\/p>\n

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – May 21, 2014) – Difference Capital Financial Inc. (“DCF”) (TSX:DCF)(TSX:DCF.DB) is pleased to announce that it has participated in a private placement financing of Thunderbird Films Inc. (“Thunderbird”).

DCF invested $2 million of the $11.5 million Preferred Shares financing, which was oversubscribed, and acted as an advisor to Thunderbird. The Preferred Shares were issued at $2.00 per share, pay an 8% per annum dividend and convert into a minimum of one common share upon an IPO or other liquidity event.
