Geyser Brands Inc. Announces Signing of Letter of Intent to Acquire Brands
VANCOUVER, March 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Geyser Brands Inc. (formerly Kanzen Capital Corp.) (TSX-V: GYSR) (the "Company") wishes to provide an update in relation to the non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") entered into between the Company and Solace Management Group Inc. ("Solace"), which contemplates the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solace by way of a share purchase, share exchange or similar transaction following a review of all relevant legal, regulatory and tax matters (the "Proposed Transaction"), as initially announced by news release on February 11, 2019.
As previously announced, the Proposed Transaction is not an "arm's length transaction" as such term is defined in TSXV Exchange's (the "Exchange") Policy 1.1 and therefore, among other reasons, constitutes a "reviewable transaction" pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. The Company has submitted its initial application for conditional approval of the Proposed Transaction to the Exchange in accordance with Policy 5.3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions of Non-Cash Assets and is in the process of satisfying the filing requirements and providing the Exchange with further information as outlined therein in order to obtain conditional approval. The parties are in the process of completing its due diligence and negotiating and settling the terms of the definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction.
The Proposed Transaction continues to be subject to, among other things: (1) the Company being satisfied with its due diligence review of Solace; (2) the receipt of all necessary consents, including all necessary third party consents; (3) board approvals of Geyser and Solace, (4) approvals and authorizations including any applicable shareholder approval; (5) Exchange approval; (6) receipt of an independent valuation report of Solace; (7) satisfaction of any Exchange requirements; and (8) the parties negotiating and entering into a definitive binding agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction, with such other customary closing conditions. The Letter of Intent may be terminated at any time by either party in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed, or at all.
The Company will continue to provide updates on the status of the Proposed Transaction, as and when required.
