TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2015 /CNW/ – BSM Technologies Inc. (“BSM”) (TSX-V:GPS), a leading provider of remote monitoring, fleet management, and fleet diagnostics systems, today announced that BSM shareholders overwhelmingly approved the issuance of BSM common shares (the “BSM Shares”) in connection with the “merger of equals” type transaction, via the previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), between BSM and Webtech Wireless Inc. (“Webtech Wireless”) (TSX:WEW), a leading provider of GPS fleet management solutions. Under the Arrangement, BSM will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Webtech Wireless common shares (“Webtech Wireless Shares”).

Of the total number of BSM Shares represented at the meeting, approximately 98.88% were voted FOR the ordinary resolution to approve the maximum number of BSM Shares that may be issued in connection with the Arrangement. In addition, approximately 86.43% BSM Shares were voted FOR the second amended and restated stock option plan. A total of 32,583,910 BSM Shares were represented at the meeting, representing approximately 69.81% of the outstanding BSM Shares. Webtech Wireless also held a special meeting of shareholders earlier today at which Webtech’s shareholders voted in favour of the special resolution approving the Arrangement.

“We are pleased with the favorable vote and support we received from our shareholders in response to our proposed merger of equals type transaction with Webtech Wireless,” said Aly Rahemtulla, President and CEO of BSM. “We are another step closer to establishing BSM as a global top 20 commercial fleet telematics provider. As a combined organization, we will have scale; leading technology; a market leadership position in the rail, construction and government verticals; and a stronger financial profile. We are confident that this merger has the necessary elements to fuel accelerated growth and profitability, going forward.”

The Arrangement is being proposed under, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, an arrangement agreement dated July 30, 2015 between BSM and Webtech Wireless. Assuming the Arrangement becomes effective, holders of Webtech Wireless Shares will receive $0.52 in cash plus 2.136 BSM Shares for each Webtech Wireless Share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, each outstanding option to acquire Webtech Wireless Shares is to be exchanged for a replacement option exercisable for BSM Shares, with the number and price adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.

Webtech Wireless intends to seek a final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia to approve the Arrangement, at a hearing expected to be held on or about September 25, 2015. In addition to the approval of the court, the Arrangement is subject to satisfaction of other closing conditions customary in a transaction of this nature. It is currently expected that, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals and satisfaction of all terms and conditions, the Arrangement will close on or about September 30, 2015.

Full details of the Arrangement and certain other matters can be found in the joint management information circular (the “Joint Circular”) of BSM and Webtech Wireless dated August 19, 2015.
