Dear Sirs:
Re: |
Acquisition of All the Issued and Outstanding Shares |
of 1289307 Alberta Ltd. - Agreement
Further to our previous discussions in connection with the above, we wish to set forth in this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) our mutual intentions and understandings with regard to the proposed acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Offered Shares”) of 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (“Holdco”), directly or indirectly, by Patch International Inc. (the “Offeror” or “Patch”) such that Holdco will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Patch. As of the Closing Date (as herein defined) the only issued and outstanding securities of Holdco, will be 500,000 common shares issued and outstanding in the capital of Holdco (“Holdco Shares”).
The Offeror understands that as of the Closing Date, Xxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx (the “Principal Shareholders”) will have direct or indirect or beneficial control over not less than 500,000 Holdco Shares, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Shares.
The Acceptance of this Agreement will be followed by the negotiation of definitive documentation (the “Transaction Documents”), including the Share Exchange Agreement (as herein defined) and related documentation, which shall contain the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement and such other terms and conditions as are customary for transactions of the nature and magnitude contemplated herein. All documentation shall be in form and content satisfactory to each of the Offeror, the Principal Shareholders and Holdco.

Subject to any regulatory, shareholder, director or other approvals as may be required, the completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Offeror, the execution of the Lock Up Agreement (as herein defined) by the Principal Shareholders and any other conditions contained herein, the Offeror agrees to make an offer (the “Offer”) either by the Offeror or a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of the Offeror (the “Subsidiary”), to acquire 100% of the Offered Shares in consideration for, directly or indirectly, 500,000 common shares of the Offeror (“Common Shares”) at a deemed price of (U.S.) $2.00 per Common Share, for a deemed consideration of approximately $1,000,000 and the assumption of the debt of Holdco in the principal amount of, (U.S.) $1,000,000 (the “Holdco Debt”) of (the “Acquisition”). |

It is intended that pursuant to the Acquisition, the Offeror will issue an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares or will cause the Subsidiary to issue exchangeable shares (the “Exchangeable Shares”), convertible into such Common Shares to the holders of Holdco Shares and repay the Holdco Debt for a total deemed consideration of approximately (U.S.) $2,000,000. |

It is intended that the Offer will be made by way of exempt take-over bid in the Province of Alberta and such other jurisdictions in which holders of the Offered Shares reside where such bid may lawfully be made; provided however, that final determination of the structure will be based on the securities and tax aspects of the transaction and will be made in the most legally and tax effective manner as agreed to by the parties. |
