Proposed Reverse Takeover Transaction

Bradmer entered into a letter of intent dated October 10, 2017 with First Coin Capital Corp. (“First Coin”), pursuant to which Bradmer proposes to complete a business combination with First Coin (the “Proposed Transaction”).

First Coin is a Vancouver based technology company focusing on executing and investing in Initial Coin Offerings (“ICO’s”) for established companies with a proven track record of success based on revenue and EBITDA margins. First Coin’s objective is to provide institutional and retail investors with exposure to blockchain and to the cryptocurrency ecosystem through a proprietary brokerage platform that allows direct investment in ICO’s. By so doing First Coin intends to benefit from the increase in the amount of capital entering the cryptocurrency space.

First Coin is a technology services company engaged in the business of helping established companies access the emerging digital currency asset class. It does so by enabling the issue of tokens or coins that will trade against other cryptocurrencies or against fiat currency. These coins are intended for use within a client company’s business ecosystem and to help fund the expansion of their businesses.

The Proposed Transaction will be conditional upon negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement for the completion of the Proposed Transaction (the “Definitive Agreement”). The Definitive Agreement will include customary representations and warranties and conditions to closing.

If completed, the Proposed Transaction will constitute a reverse takeover of Bradmer by First Coin pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The Proposed Transaction will be an arm’s length transaction.

As part of the Proposed Transaction, First Coin intends to complete a private placement of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) for gross proceeds of up to .0 million, with an agreed upon minimum of .0 million (the “Minimum Offering Amount”). Purchasers of the Subscription Receipts will ultimately acquire common shares of Bradmer pursuant to the Transaction, following the satisfaction of certain specified escrow release conditions attached to the Subscription Receipts. The Subscription Receipt financing will be led by GMP Securities L.P. and will be priced in the context of the market.

The Proposed Transaction is anticipated to be completed under an amalgamation or arrangement transaction under which the shareholders of First Coin, including the purchasers of the Subscription Receipts, will receive common shares of Bradmer. The number of shares of Bradmer to be issued to the shareholders of First Coin will be determined based on the agreed upon value of the outstanding common shares of Bradmer and the value of First Coin indicated by the price of the Subscription Receipts.

It is anticipated that Bradmer will complete a consolidation of its common shares in advance and as a condition to the completion of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, it is contemplated that Bradmer will change its corporate name and appoint nominees of First Coin to its board of directors upon completion of the Proposed Transaction. If a Definitive Agreement is concluded, it is anticipated that a meeting of the shareholders of Bradmer will be called to approve the share consolidation, the name change and the appointment of the First Coin directors.
