20.10.2015 | FSCwire
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Vector Resources Inc. (“Vector” or the “Corporation”), a capital pool company, provides the following update on the proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) with Tectonica Australia Pty Ltd. (“Tectonica”), which Transaction is intended to constitute a “Qualifying Transaction” as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV” or the “Exchange”).
The Transaction
Vector previously announced in its September 21, 2015 press release that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) dated September 21, 2015 with Tectonica Australia Pty Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of Australia, that sets out certain non-binding understandings and binding agreements between Vector and Tectonica (collectively referred to as the “Parties” and each is a “Party”) and serves as an agreement in principle concerning a proposed transaction between Vector and Tectonica that will result in a reverse takeover of Vector by the shareholders of Tectonica (the “Tectonica Shareholders”) and the acquisition of all of the assets, including, but not limited to, intellectual property and business prospects, of Tectonica.
Vector and Tectonica will complete the proposed Transaction by way of a share exchange or other form of transaction that will result on closing in the exchange of all of the issued shares in Tectonica for common shares of Vector, or such other form of business combination transaction as would be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Upon completion of the Transaction, Tectonica’s current shareholders will hold approximately 96.525% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Vector, on a post-Transaction basis prior to closing of a Private Placement, and Vector’s current shareholders will hold approximately 3.475% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Vector, on a post-Transaction basis prior to closing the Private Placement. Please refer to the Company’s press release of September 21, 2015 for further details of the proposed transaction.
The Parties continue to negotiate a definitive agreement relating to the Transaction that will supersede the LOI and have agreed to extend the timeline for finalization of the definitive agreement to November 2nd, 2015, in order to finalize the optimal tax structure for the Transaction. The Parties are working diligently on the required filings for the Transaction in tandem with negotiation of the definitive agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, completion of the Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, including completion of the Private Placement (as described in Vector’s September 21, 2015 press release), completion or waiver of sponsorship, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV of the Transaction, completion of all due diligence reviews, satisfaction of the minimum listing requirements of the TSXV and all requirements under the TSXV rules relating to completion of a qualifying transaction, and execution of the Definitive Agreement.
The final definitive structure of the Transaction is subject to receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice for each of the Parties, and the requirement that the Transaction would occur on a tax-deferred or otherwise on the most tax-efficient basis possible for the Parties.
The Parties intend that the completion of the Transaction, including the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions, including receipt of all necessary consents and approvals, is now targeted to occur on or about December 14, 2015 or such other earlier or later date as may be agreed upon by Vector and Tectonica (the “Closing Date”).
A filing statement in respect of the proposed Transaction will be prepared and filed in accordance with Policy 2.4 of the TSXV on SEDAR at www.sedar.com no less than seven business days prior to the closing of the proposed Qualifying Transaction. A press release will be issued once the filing statement has been filed, as required pursuant to TSXV policies or any other material changes occur.
Trading Halt and Additional Information
The Vector Shares have been halted pending receipt by the TSXV of certain required materials from the Corporation. The Corporation will continue to provide further details in respect of the Transaction in due course by way of press release.
