VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Therapeutics Ltd. (CSE:PT) (OTC:PCFTF) (Frankfurt:A2AFT9) (“PT” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into a binding arm’s length share exchange agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Tower Three SAS (“Tower Three”), pursuant to which PT will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities (the “Tower Three Shares”) of Tower Three (the “Transaction”), as more particularly described below. The Transaction was initially announced in a PT news release dated August 2, 2016, indicating that PT and Tower Three had entered into a letter of intent in respect of the Transaction.
The Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions as set forth in the Definitive Agreement, including (among other things) completion of due diligence by October 30, 2016 and the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”). If completed, the Transaction will constitute a “Fundamental Change” of PT, as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange.
Trading in the common shares of the Company will remain halted until completion of the Transaction and the publication of the Final Exchange Bulletin.
The Transaction
Upon the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), PT will issue 30,000,000 performance escrow shares (the “Escrow Shares”) of PT at a deemed price of $0.10 per share to the shareholders of Tower Three, on a pro-rata basis, in exchange for all of the Tower Three Shares. In addition to the Exchange’s 36 month escrow release schedule, the Escrow Shares are to be released to the shareholders of Tower Three subject to specific performance milestones.
The Transaction is subject to PT completing an equity financing (the “Concurrent Financing”) by way of a private placement of units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of not less than $1,500,000 and no more than $2,250,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase, for a period of 12 months from the date of issue, one additional common share of PT at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Warrants will be subject to an acceleration clause whereby if the common shares of the Issuer trade at a price of $0.60 or greater for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, then PT will have the option to give notice to the Warrant holders to accelerate the exercise of the Warrants within 10 days or the Warrants will expire. The minimum and maximum number of Units proposed to be offered for distribution under the Concurrent Financing are 10,000,000 and 15,000,000 Units, respectively.
Upon completion of the Transaction, Tower Three will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PT, and immediately prior to the Closing, PT will have changed its name to “Tower One Wireless Corp.” or such other name as is acceptable to Tower Three and applicable regulatory authorities (the “Name Change”). Following the Closing, the Company will continue the business of Tower Three.
Upon closing of the Transaction, it is anticipated that the Company’s directors and senior officers will consist of: Alejandro Ochoa (president, chief executive officer and director), Fabio Alexander Vasquez (director), Robert Horsley (director), Brian Gusko (director), Abbey Abdiye (chief financial officer), and Octavio De La Espriella (chief operating officer). Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will convene a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company on a date that is as soon as practicable for the purpose of increasing the size of the board of directors of the Company to five (5) and electing a third nominee of Tower Three as a director of the Company.
The Transaction is conditional upon, among other things:
(i) the representations and warranties of each of PT and Tower Three, as set out in the Definitive Agreement, being true and correct in all material respects at the Closing;
(ii) the absence of any material adverse change in the business of each of the parties;
(iii) the parties receiving all requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the Exchange, and any third party approvals and authorizations;
(iv) PT and Tower Three obtaining the requisite shareholder approvals for the Transaction;
(v) the parties obtaining requisite board approvals for the Transaction;
(vi) the parties having effected the Name Change; and
(vii) PT completing the Concurrent Financing.
