CALGARY, AB–(Marketwired – August 24, 2016) – Plicit Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE: PLP.H) (“Plicit” and/or the “Company“), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that it has filed a filing statement (the “Filing Statement“) regarding its proposed qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction“) with 3D Signatures Inc. (“3D“) and received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) for the Qualifying Transaction.
In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of 3D by way of a three-cornered amalgamation whereby 3D will amalgamate with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Closing of the Qualifying Transaction is expected to occur on or about August 31, 2016, or such other date as Plicit and 3D may determine.
The completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to receipt of all required regulatory consents, including final TSXV acceptance, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including the closing of a concurrent brokered private placement of common shares at a price of $0.35 per share for gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000 CAD (the “Financing“). The Financing will be sold through Haywood Securities Inc. as the lead selling agent and sponsor of the Qualifying Transaction in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSXV. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Trading in the common shares of Plicit is currently halted and will resume under the symbol “DXD” following publication of the Final Exchange Bulletin by the TSXV in respect of the closing of the Qualifying Transaction.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Filing Statement, any information released or received with respect to the Qualifying Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
