GLN | TSXV: GOOD > News > Exito Energy II Inc. Announces Arrangement Agreement with Good Life Networks Inc. for Proposed Qualifying Transaction

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Oct. 8, 2016) – 

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Exito Energy II Inc. (“Exito”), a capital pool company (TSX VENTURE:EXI.P), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an arrangement agreement dated October 7, 2016, with Good Life Networks Inc. (“GLN”), a Vancouver-based, digital media company, with respect to a proposed business combination intended to constitute Exito’s qualifying transaction, as such term is defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”). Upon completion of the qualifying transaction, it is anticipated that the resulting issuer will be listed as a Technology Issuer, subject to TSX-V approval.

The Proposed Transaction

The transaction will be structured as a share exchange by way of plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”). Immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement, Exito intends to complete a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every two pre-consolidation shares (the “Consolidation”) and continue from Alberta into British Columbia under the name “Good Life Networks Inc.” (the “Continuance”), or such other name as may be approved by GLN.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, among other things:

  1. holders of common shares of GLN will receive 0.2601 of a post-Consolidation common share of Exito in exchange for each common share of GLN held. If the Consolidation is not completed prior to the effective time of the arrangement for any reason, then the exchange ratio will be adjusted such that GLN shareholders will receive 0.5202 of an Exito common share for each common share of GLN held.
  2. Exito (on a post-continuance basis) will become the sole shareholder of GLN following the foregoing share exchange.
  3. Exito and GLN will complete a vertical short form amalgamation and the combined entity (the “Resulting Issuer”) will have as its directors and officers, the individuals set out under the heading “Directors and Officers” below.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is anticipated that GLN shareholders will receive 26,679,786 common shares of the Resulting Issuer with a deemed value of $0.25 per share for total deemed consideration of approximately $6,669,946. Excluding the effect of the Offering (as described below) on the relative percentages of ownership, it is anticipated that Exito shareholders will hold approximately 13% of the voting common shares of the Resulting Issuer and GLN shareholders will hold approximately 87% of the voting common shares of the Resulting Issuer.

The transaction will not be a non-arm’s length transaction for the purposes of the policies of the TSX-V. As permitted by the policies of the TSX-V, Exito has made a $25,000 unsecured loan to GLN concurrently with signing the arrangement agreement. Exito and GLN intend to complete the Arrangement on or before December 15, 2016, with an outside date for completion of the Arrangement of January 31, 2017.
