New York, NY – Toronto, ON –February 28th, 2020 – NexTech AR Solutions (NexTech) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29), the leader in augmented reality for eCommerce and AR learning applications, announced that CEO Evan Gappelberg and his wife each purchased $50,000 USD for a total purchase of $100,000 USD of Nextech stock in open market buys.

Nextech CEO Evan Gappelberg purchased his shares at $1.85 CDN and he now owns 4,408,224 common shares.

Gappelberg comments “While I recognize the severity of the economic disruption with the spread of the Coronavirus, I also recognize the opportunity it presents and that the effects will be temporary.  If history is any guide the market rebound will likely be a `V'' shaped rebound.  He continues “Personally, I don’t believe our current share price reflects our strong leadership position and growth potential in 2020 and beyond, which is why my family and I continue to invest personal funds in company shares,"
