TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 4, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TransGaming Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TNG) ("TransGaming" or the "Company") today announced that it had completed a second tranche of $150,000 of the non-brokered private placement of up to $1.8 million it previously announced November 20, 2012. A total of 1,566,416 units were issued to subscribers with each unit priced at $0.09576 and comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.1436 at any time on or before the 24-month anniversary of the closing date.

The terms of this tranche are as previously announced and are part of a subscription agreement with the investor. The issue price of the unit in this tranche was set at a 20% discount from the 30-day volume weighted average price of the stock and the exercise price of the Warrant at a 20% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average price of the stock. The net proceeds from the private placement will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The subscription rights agreement with the investor includes a covenant that the investor will not exercise any right, including any warrant, in the event that the exercise of such right would result in the investor having beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company. To date the Company has raised a total of $300,000 and issued a total of 2,316,416 shares under the terms of the agreement.

In connection with the private placements, a finder's fee of 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds arising therefrom will be paid to the Northern Securities Inc. In addition, the Agents will receive such number of non-transferable warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") equal to 8% of the total number of common shares issued in connection with the offering. Each Compensation Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.30 for a period of 24 months from the closing date to acquire one Common Share of the Company.

The private placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Securities issued will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day pursuant to applicable securities laws; however certain insiders of the Company entered into share loan and pledge agreements with one of the investors, which provide for the loan of free trading shares by the insiders. The insiders will not dispose or sell any of their shareholdings under these agreements and all shares loaned will be returned to the insiders after four months.
