21.09.2015  |  FSCwire

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Vector Resources Inc. (“Vector” or the “Corporation”), a capital pool company as defined by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV” or the “Exchange”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) dated September 21, 2015 with Tectonica Australia Pty Ltd. (“Tectonica”), 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.

Transaction

Vector and Tectonica will complete the proposed transaction by way of a share exchange or other form of transaction that will result in all of the issued Tectonica Shares (as defined below) on or before the Closing Date (as defined below) in exchange for common shares of Vector, or such other form of business combination transaction as would be mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Transaction”). 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 the 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.

The value to be attributed to Vector is CDN$560,000 (US$423,268). The fair market value attributed to Tectonica and the consideration to be paid for the Tectonica Shares is Cdn$15,876,480 (US$12,000,000), which is based on a number factors including (a) the fair market value or the assets of Tectonica and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and (b) subject to adjustment pursuant to the Parties’ due diligence and the terms of the LOI.

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 defined and described below), 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 (as defined and described below).

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.

Authorized Share Capital of Vector

The authorized share capital of Vector consists of an unlimited number of common shares (the “Vector Shares”), of which there are currently 3,736,221 Vector Shares issued and outstanding, and 312,500 Vector Shares are reserved for issuance in respect of options granted to directors and officers at an exercise price of CDN$0.20 per Vector Share until November 14, 2021.

Authorized Share Capital of Tectonica

The authorized share capital of Tectonica currently consists of 2,423,003 ordinary shares (the “Tectonica Shares”) of which 2,423,003 are currently issued.

Vendors of Tectonica Shares

John S. Chambers, David Levy and Miles Partridge are vendors with respect to the Transaction and control or direct the Tectonica Shares. Messrs Chambers, Levy and Partridge reside in Australia.

Private Placement

Prior to or concurrent with closing of the Transaction, Tectonica intends to complete one or more private placements (the “Private Placement”) of Vector Shares for anticipated gross proceeds of approximately CDN$6,615,200 (US$5,000,000), taking into account a minimum offering amount to comply with TSXV minimum public distribution requirements, at a contemplated issue price of CDN$0.18 per Vector Share (prior to the completion of any consolidation of Vector Shares), subject to adjustment as determined in the context of the market, but will be no less than the value attributed to the Vector Shares for the purposes of the share exchange.

It is anticipated that the proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to establish North American and European marketing and business development offices, partially fund research and development of new products verticals and for general working capital purposes.

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 targeted to occur on or about November 15, 2015 or such other earlier or later date as may be agreed upon by Vector and Tectonica (the “Closing Date”).

Special Meeting of Vector Shareholders

Although shareholder approval is not required, Vector will hold a special meeting of shareholders for purpose of approving matters necessary to complete the Transaction and Private Placements, including, but not limited to, a name change and contemplated consolidation of Vector Shares.

Qualifying Transaction

Pending the finalization and execution of a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) by the Parties and subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, the proposed Transaction is expected to constitute a “Qualifying Transaction” for Vector as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual and is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" within the meaning of Policy 2.4 of the TSXV and, as such, shareholder approval is not required, unless otherwise required by the TSXV.

Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction of a capital pool company is required by the TSXV, unless exempt in accordance with TSXV policies. Vector intends to apply for an exemption from sponsorship requirements; however, there is no assurance that Vector will obtain this exemption.

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.
