Anchor Capital Corporation (“Anchor” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:ANC.P) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) has granted an extension for the completion of the Corporation’s previously announced qualifying transaction involving a proposed business combination (the “Transaction“) with Mark One Lifestyle, Inc. (“Mark One“) to September 7, 2017 (the “Extension Deadline“). In the event the Transaction is not completed by the Extension Deadline, the Corporation shall be required to transfer its common shares (the “Anchor Common Shares“) to NEX by filing a NEX listing notification with the TSXV, and cancelling its outstanding seed shares held by non-arm’s length parties of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation fails to complete the Transaction or transfer the Anchor Common Shares to NEX prior to the Extension Deadline, the Anchor Common Shares will be delisted.
Concurrent Private Placement
The Corporation further announces that Mark One has entered into an engagement letter dated effective March 1, 2017 (the “Engagement Letter“) with Gravitas Securities Inc. (the “Agent“) in connection with the previously announced proposed private placement (the “Private Placement“) of subscription receipts of Mark One (the “Subscription Receipts“) to be completed in connection with the Transaction. The Subscription Receipts shall be offered at a price of CAD$0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of a minimum of CAD$10,000,000 and a maximum of CAD$15,000,000. Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder to receive, without payment of any further consideration, one common share in the capital of the resulting issuer pursuant to the Transaction (“NewCo“). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Agent has agreed to act as agent on a commercially reasonable “best efforts” basis for the Private Placement, and shall be entitled to invite other investment dealers to form a selling group of agents in connection with the Private Placement. The Agent shall be paid a cash commission of 8% and granted such number of broker warrants (a “Broker Warrant“) equal to 8% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold by the Agent in connection with the Private Placement, with each Broker Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share in the capital of NewCo at a price of CAD$0.50 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of closing of the Transaction.
