ANY SECURITIES REFERRED TO HEREIN WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "1933 ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO A U.S. PERSON IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT.
TORONTO, March 30, 2016 /CNW/ - Focused Capital Corp. ("Focused") (TSXV:FLO.H), a capital pool company formed under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, is pleased to provide an update with respect to the non-binding letter of intent dated December 7, 2015 (the "LOI") for the arm's length business combination (the "Proposed Transaction") of Focused and AGNITY Global, Inc. ("AGNITY Global"). The Proposed Transaction will qualify as Focused's "Qualifying Transaction" as defined by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange. The parties are continuing to work towards a definitive agreement for the Qualifying Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement") and other conditions to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, including completing due diligence, completion of financial statements and a filing statement under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, and obtaining regulatory approvals.
It is currently anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will proceed by way of a triangular merger transaction under Delaware law, pursuant to which AGNITY Global will combine its corporate existence with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Focused. For convenience, Focused, as it will exist after completion of the Proposed Transaction, is sometimes referred to herein as the "Resulting Issuer".
If the Proposed Transaction is completed, it is anticipated that the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer (the "New Slate") will consist of five (5) directors, all of whom will be nominated by AGNITY Global, and the executive officers of the Resulting Issuer will be appointed by the New Slate. The New Slate will be put forth and nominated at a meeting of Focused's shareholders to be held prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction.
In conjunction with, and prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, AGNITY Global intends to complete a brokered private placement of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of up to C$8 million led by Haywood Securities Inc. (the "Private Placement"). Each Subscription Receipt is expected to be convertible into units consisting of one share of common stock of AGNITY Global as they are constituted following a consolidation of such shares (an "AGNITY Share") and up to one half of one warrant to purchase an AGNITY Share.
Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction it is intended that: (i) the outstanding common shares of Focused will be consolidated at a ratio to be determined based on the per share price in the Private Placement (the "Consolidation"); and (ii) the holders of AGNITY Shares (including those investors in the Private Placement) will receive one common share of the Resulting Issuer (on a post-Consolidation basis) in exchange for each outstanding AGNITY Share and outstanding convertible securities of AGNITY Global (including any warrants issued in the Private Placement) will be adjusted to be convertible into shares of the Resulting Issuer or be exchanged for convertible securities of the Resulting Issuer. The outstanding options of Focused will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the Consolidation. Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the security holders of AGNITY Global (including those investors under the Private Placement) will hold a significant majority of the outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer.
A comprehensive press release with further particulars relating to the Proposed Transaction and the Resulting Issuer will follow in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
