NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

3D Signatures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DXD) (the "Company" or "3DS") is pleased to announce, further to its news releases on November 17, 2016 and December 16, 2016, that it has issued a total of 215,300 units (the "Units") pursuant to the second tranche (the "Second Tranche") of its previously announced brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"). The Units were sold at a price per Unit of $0.75, for total gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $161,475. Each of the Units were sold pursuant to the partial exercise by the Agents (as defined below) of the over-allotment option.

Units sold pursuant to the Second Tranche consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share until December 16, 2018 at an exercise price of $0.92 per Common Share. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause (the "Acceleration Clause") that allows the Company to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants in the event that, at any time after June 16, 2017, the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for a period of 20 consecutive trading days exceeds $1.35. Pursuant to the Acceleration Clause, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to that date that is 30 days following the date on which the Company sends notice to the holders of the Warrants of the new expiry date.

The Second Tranche was brokered by a syndicate of agents led by Haywood Securities Inc., and including Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation (together, the "Agents"). In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company paid the Agents an aggregate cash commission of approximately $12,918, equal to eight per cent (8%) of the gross proceeds raised under the Second Tranche. The Company also issued to the Agents 17,224 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants"), equal to eight per cent (8%) of the Units sold pursuant to the Second Tranche. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.75 until December 16, 2018. The terms of the Private Placement allow for the issuance of an additional tranche of up to a maximum of 597,082 Units, subject to approval by the Exchange and compliance with the time limits prescribed in its policies. The Company anticipates closing this tranche in late December 2016 or early January 2017.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement, including those proceeds raised pursuant to the Second Tranche, to fund clinical trials and for working capital and general corporate purposes. All securities issued pursuant to the Second Tranche are subject to a four month hold period expiring on April 23, 2017.

Including the initial tranche of the Private Placement (the "First Tranche"), as a whole the Private Placement resulted in the issuance by the Company of a total of 5,402,918 Units for total gross proceeds of approximately $4,052,188. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid the Agents an aggregate cash commission of approximately $324,175, and issued 432,233 Broker Warrants to the Agents.
