SEB Terminates Convertible Debt Financing Due to Market Conditions
Alternate Financing Options in Process
(firmenpresse) - MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/01/15 -- Smart Employee Benefits Inc. ("SEB" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SEB) advises that, further to its news release dated September 16, 2015, it has terminated the proposed private placement of convertible debentures of the Company. Pursuant to discussions with its underwriters, SEB concluded that the current capital markets environment is not conducive to source its financing needs without encountering significant dilution.
The closing of the proposed acquisition of Maplesoft Group Inc. ("Maplesoft"), as described in a press release dated June 11, 2015, has been deferred to on/or before October 31, 2015. Financing of the Maplesoft acquisition will be a combination of debt and equity. Agreement on the Maplesoft debt portion has been obtained, and documentation is expected to be completed by mid-October, 2015. Approximately $3.5 million of SEB shares will be issued, including $2.0 million issued to Maplesoft Shareholders and $1.5 million to private placement investors including both management and strategic investors.
Maplesoft is expected to increase the consolidated annual revenue of SEB by over $45 million, and contribute substantially to its overall profitability. On closing of the Maplesoft acquisition, SEB's annual consolidated sales are forecasted to exceed $110 million. Maplesoft will provide SEB with 18 multi-million dollar client references, including 5 references with contract values of over $10 million each. While significantly enhancing SEB's relationships with the Federal Government, Maplesoft is also expected to expand SEB's presence in Ottawa and will extend the Company's national geographic footprint to Calgary and Montreal.
