AGOURA HILLS, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 29, 2016) - VAPE Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: VAPE) (the "Company" or "VAPE"), a holding company focused on providing healthy, efficient, and sustainable vaporization products, announced today it has entered into agreements for a third tranche of a debt restructuring and consolidation plan targeting the Company's approximately $1,000,000 in convertible debt.

Last week, the Company agreed to a debt buy-out and restructure of an additional $338,500 in convertible debt of two noteholders. To date, the Company has successfully restructured approximately $779,000 in previously issued convertible debt consolidated into a single financing partner.

"With approximately 80% of the previously acquired convertible notes restructured and consolidated into our new funding partner, I feel confident that we will be able to accomplish a complete debt restructuring. With only one player in the market, combined with our upward trajectory on both HIVE and Revival, we are looking forward to putting this debt issue behind us. I said in my 2015 Letter to Shareholders that I wanted to tackle our convertible debt issue. We are almost there and I will not stop until this objective is complete," stated Justin Braune, CEO of VAPE.
