Worldbid Board Approves Private Placement and Re-Prices Warrants and Options FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Victoria, British Columbia, September 14, 2001 - Worldbid Corporation (NASD OTCBB: WBID). WORLDBID CORPORATION ("Worldbid") announced today that its Board of Directors have approved an Offering on a private placement basis of up to 1,500 Units, with each Unit consisting of one $1,000 USD 15% guaranteed convertible note and 20,000 Series X share purchase warrants. The convertible notes will be due on September 30, 2004 and will bear interest at 15% per annum payable annually. The notes will be guaranteed by Worldbid's wholly-owned subsidiary Worldbid Canada Corporation (the "Subsidiary") which guarantee will be secured by a general security agreement charging present and future acquired assets of the Subsidiary. The notes will be convertible into common shares of Worldbid, at the option of the holder, on the basis of the lesser of 50% of the average market price of Worldbid's shares for the 10 day period preceding conversion or $0.05 USD per share. Worldbid may at its option elect to issue common shares in satisfaction of its interest obligations on the basis of 75% of the average market price of Worldbid's shares for the 10 day period preceding the interest payment date. Each Series X Share Purchase Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of Worldbid's common stock on the following basis:
Worldbid's directors also approved a reduction to $0.10 USD per share of the exercise price of all outstanding options under Worldbid's stock option plan. Worldbid's Board believes that these actions will ensure the continued development of Worldbid's business in the current market, which has hindered the ability of many technology related businesses to obtain equity financing.
