Capstream Announces HotNow Investment
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/26/16 -- Capstream Ventures Inc. ("Capstream" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CSP) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with Red Anchor Trading Corp. ("Red Anchor"), a company engaged in the business of developing an application known as "HotNow", which is a marketing automation platform for retailers to offer various promotions. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company has agreed to invest US$1.5 million in Red Anchor to acquire 15.9% of the voting shares of Red Anchor. The proceeds of the investment are expected to be used for funding working capital of Red Anchor pursuant to budget and business plans to be agreed to by the Company and Red Anchor prior to closing.
Terms of the Investment Agreement
The material terms of the Investment Agreement include the following terms and conditions:
Consummation of the Investment is subject to a number of customary conditions of closing, including that no material adverse change with respect to Red Anchor shall have occurred and that the Red Anchor's representations and warranties made under the Investment Agreement are accurate at closing of the proposed Investment.
Related Party Transactions
John Todd Bonner is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company and beneficial owner of 38.18% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of Red Anchor. Therefore, Mr. Bonner is considered to be a non arm's length party of the Company, within the meaning of the policies of the TSXV. In addition, Nithinan Boonyawattanapisut, Mr. Bonner's spouse and a controlling shareholder of the Company, also beneficially owns an additional 38.18% of Red Anchor, and is also a party to the Investment Agreement to give certain representations, warranties and covenants. Therefore, the Investment is, or may be, a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Based on written recommendations prepared by a special committee of the arm's length directors of the Company, the Board, with Mr. Bonner abstaining from voting where required, agreed to the terms of the Investment. There were no materially contrary views, or abstention by any directors other than as set out above and there were no material disagreements between the Board and the special committee. The Company is exempted from both the formal valuation requirement pursuant to s. 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the minority approval requirement pursuant to s. 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. The Investment is expected to be completed less than 21 days after the date of this news release, as several material matters were uncertain and not ascertainable until at, or close to, the date of this release. These matters include the terms of the Investment Agreement, internal approvals of the Company and conditional approval of the TSXV. Due to, in part, the foregoing, the Company was unable to issue this release prior to today's date with any certainty, and in the Company's opinion this shorter period was unavoidable as well as reasonable and necessary in the circumstances.
