Respect Your Universe, Inc., the mixed martial arts apparel company, has
completed a private placement of 900,000 shares of common stock of
Respect Your Universe at a price of 50 cents per Share for gross
proceeds of $450,000. The proceeds from the sale of the financing are
anticipated to fund the general operations of Respect Your Universe.
"Securing this second round of financing is an important step as we
drive our brand and its growth in the coming year," said David Campisi,
CEO and chairman of the board of Respect Your Universe. "We're poised to
build on our sales momentum and are excited about the potential that
lies ahead."
In connection with the Financing, Respect Your
Universe paid one finder a finder's fee of 5% cash and 5% warrants on
US$50,000 of the gross proceeds received by Respect Your Universe from
investors introduced to Respect Your Universe through the finder.
Respect Your Universe paid a cash commission of approximately US$2,500
and issued 5,000 finder's warrants, with each finder's warrant
exercisable into one Share at a price of US$0.50 for a period of 24
months from the date of issuance. No finder's fee was paid on the
balance of US$400,000.
All securities issued in connection with
the Financing will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period and
applicable U.S. hold periods. None of the securities issued have been
registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), and none of them may be offered or sold in the U.S. absent

any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation,
or sale would be unlawful.
