Percy Street Capital Corporation (“PSCC” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:PSC.P) and Bonne O Holdings Inc. (“BOHI”), are pleased to announce that they have received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) for their Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Corporate Finance Manual of the Exchange) previously announced on December 13, 2016 (the “Qualifying Transaction”). As previously disclosed, the parties will enter into a securities exchange agreement whereby PSCC shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of BOHI (the “Bonne O Common Shares”) from BOHI’s shareholders on the basis of a 3.3:1 share exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) whereby holders of Bonne O Common Shares will receive 3.3 post-Consolidation (as defined below) common shares of PSCC following the Qualifying Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer Shares”, and PSCC after completion of the Qualifying Transaction, hereinafter referred to as the “Resulting Issuer”) for each one Bonne O Common Share held at a deemed price per Resulting Issuer Share of $0.33. PSCC will issue 31,059,214 Resulting Issuer Shares to the shareholders of BOHI in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of BOHI. In addition, all outstanding options and other convertible securities of BOHI will be exchanged at the Exchange Ratio for options and convertible securities of the Resulting Issuer having the same economic terms, or will be adjusted pursuant to the terms governing such options or convertible securities, as applicable. Prior to the securities exchange, PSCC will consolidate its issued and outstanding capital on a 3:1 basis (the “Consolidation”).
The Company has engaged Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. to act as lead agent and sole bookrunner for a private placement to raise a minimum of 7,575,758 units (the “Units”) issued at a price of $0.33 per Unit resulting in gross proceeds of a minimum of $2,500,000 and a maximum of 12,121,212 Units issued resulting in gross proceeds of maximum of $4,000,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one Resulting Issuer Share and one-half of one Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.45 for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date.
