TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – April 28, 2017) – Nesscap Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Nesscap“) (TSX VENTURE:NCE), is pleased to announce that is has completed its previously announced transaction with Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (“Maxwell“) whereby Maxwell has acquired substantially all of the assets of Nesscap pursuant to an arrangement (the “Arrangement“) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA“). The Arrangement was approved by the Nesscap shareholders on April 24, 2017 in accordance with the requirements of the OBCA and was subsequently approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on April 27, 2017.
In exchange for substantially all of its assets, Nesscap received from Maxwell an aggregate of 4,146,538 shares (the “Consideration Shares“) of Maxwell common stock and the assumption of certain liabilities pursuant to the terms of the previously announced arrangement agreement dated February 28, 2017 between Maxwell and Nesscap. The Consideration Shares have a value of $35,251,278 (US$25,874,397) based on a per share price of US$6.24, being the last closing price of Maxwell’s shares trading on NASDAQ.
It is expected that, shortly after the date of this announcement, the common shares of Nesscap will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange. Nesscap has applied to cease being a reporting issuer in each jurisdiction in Canada in which it currently has such status, which application is still currently under review. Nesscap intends to proceed with a voluntary dissolution as soon as practicable which will involve the distribution of its remaining assets to Nesscap shareholders after its liabilities have been satisfied.
