Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 12, 2018) - Match Capital Resources Corporation (TSXV: MHC.H) ("Match" or the "Company") announces that it is providing supplemental disclosure to the Company's Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement dated September 26, 2018 (the "Circular") in respect of the Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (the "Meeting") to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) on October 26, 2018. This release should be read in conjunction with the Circular as a whole. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Circular.
In connection with the Transaction, Match will hold an annual and special meeting of shareholders on October 26, 2018 (the "Meeting") to among other things, approve a share consolidation on the basis of one (1) new common share of Match for every eight (8) existing common shares and approve a name change of the Company to "Braingrid Limited" or such other name as may be approved by the directors. On closing of the Transaction, Match will have 1,076,931 post consolidation common shares outstanding, will have no debt and no convertible securities outstanding. Braingrid intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders on October 23, 2018 to approve, among other things, the Transaction.
the valuation and negotiation process with respect to the Transaction was conducted by the Board alone, without the participation of Mr. Hodges except with respect to his debt conversion;
the Transaction was approved by all of the directors of the Company in accordance with MI 61-101;
a majority of the votes cast on the resolution by shareholders who vote at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose the votes attached to the common shares held by Mr. Hodges, is required for approval of the debt conversion resolution as provided by MI 61-101; and
while the approval of the Transaction by a majority of the minority itself does not trigger dissent rights, the ancillary matters being considered by the shareholders provide that any registered shareholders who oppose the ancillary matters may, upon compliance with certain conditions, exercise dissent rights and, if ultimately successful receive the fair value of their common shares. Accordingly dissent rights are available in connection with the Transaction as set forth in the Circular.
Prior Valuations
There have been no prior valuations made of the shares of Match in the prior 24 months before the date of the Circular. Match has been an inactive company for the last five years.
Prior Conversion Offers
Match has been involved with two prior proposed reverse takeover transactions with arm's length parties that were not completed. One occurred in 2016 and the other occurred in 2017. Both of these transactions were conditional upon Match consolidating its shares and both required Mr. Hodges to convert his shares into post-consolidated shares of Match after the completion of the transaction. In both cases, on successful completion of either transaction, Mr. Hodges would have been left with a very small percentage shareholding in the Company. Similarly, upon completion of the Transaction Mr. Hodges will be a minor shareholder of the Company beneficially owning or having control and direction over approximately 2% of the post-consolidated common shares of the Company.
Votes Excluded
The votes attached to the shares held by Mr. Hodges, being a total of 1,714,473 common shares (representing in the aggregate approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares) will be excluded in determining whether minority approval for the proposed related party transaction is obtained.
