Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:PKK) (PINK SHEETS:PKKFF) ("Peak" or the "Company") recently declared that is has closed a non-brokered private placement financing
consisting in the sale of 25,000,000 units at a price of CAD$0.02 per
unit for gross proceeds of CAD$500,000 (the "Financing").
Each unit (a "Unit") sold as part of the Financing consists of one (1)
common share and one (1) one common share purchase warrant. Each common
share purchase warrant entitles its holder to purchase one common share
of Peak, at the price of CAD$0.05, for a twelve (12) month period
following the closing date. Peak has paid a cash commission finder's
fee, to eligible persons who helped place the Units, equal to 8% of the
gross proceeds of the Units they helped sell. Peak has also granted
finder's compensation options to the same eligible persons who helped
place the Units entitling them to purchase a number of Peak common
shares equal to 8% of the total number of Units they helped sell,
exercisable at the price of CAD$0.05 per common share for a twenty-four
(24) month period following the closing date.
The securities issued pursuant to the Financing are subject to a hold
period expiring four (4) months and one day from the date of closing.
The proceeds of the Financing will be used to help the Company meet its
working capital payment obligations under the terms and conditions of
its agreement to acquire LongKey Hong Kong Limited ("LongKey"), and for
working capital purposes.
"We're very pleased with the combination of new and existing Peak
shareholders who took part in this placement", commented Johnson Joseph,
President and CEO of Peak. "In addition to our loyal base of existing
shareholders, we managed to pick up some important long-term financial
partners. We expect these new partners to play significant roles going
forward, leading up to and following our acquisition of LongKey, to
assist us in obtaining the capital we need to allow LongKey to take full
advantage of its Internet Financial Services initiative with the
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The closing of the placement
allowed us to move one step closer to acquiring LongKey by making
another pre-acquisition contribution to its working cap in accordance
with our agreement. Now that that's taken care of, we can turn our full
attention to satisfying the remaining elements required, including the
concurrent financing at closing, to obtain the TSX Venture Exchange's
final approval and close the transaction", concluded Mr. Joseph.
Pursuant to Policy 5.9 of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101
Respecting protection of minority security holders in special
transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Financing constitutes a "related party
transaction" as certain directors and officers of Peak (the "Related
Parties") subscribed to securities. In reviewing the applicable
valuation requirements under MI 61-101, Peak has determined that the
exemption set out in subsection 5.5 (a) of MI 61-101 is applicable since
the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Related Parties does not
exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Peak at the date hereof. In
addition, subsection 5.7(a) provides that a transaction meeting such
criteria is also exempt from the minority shareholder approval
requirement. The board of directors of Peak has unanimously approved the
Financing. Peak has not filed a material change report 21 days prior to
the closing of the Financing as participation of insiders had not been
established at that time.
Peak also today announced its plans to proceed with a five (5) to one
(1) consolidation of its issued and outstanding shares. The
consolidation will take place on a date to be determined, but no later
than May 31, 2015. Peak has already received support for the proposed
consolidation from a significant number of shareholders and will seek to
obtain formal shareholder approval at a Special Shareholders' meeting
to be held after the Company issues its information circular in relation
to its pending acquisition of LongKey. The share consolidation is in
line with management's plans to attract more institutional investors to
the Company following its acquisition of LongKey.
