Blue Sky Energy Inc. (NEX:BSI) (the
“
Company” or “
BSI”) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent (the
“
LOI”) dated December 30, 2021 pursuant to which
the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares
in the capital of EV Technology Group Inc., an arm's length third
party, (the “
Target” or “
EVT”)
pursuant to a reverse-takeover transaction (the
“
RTO”). In connection with the completion of the
RTO, the Company intends to delist from the NEX board (the
“
NEX”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“
TSXV”) and list on the NEO Exchange Inc. (the
“
NEO”).
About EV Technology Group
Inc.
EVT was founded in 2021 with the mission of
accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles. With electric
vehicle (“EV”) sales increasing by a forecasted
833% in the next decade1, EVs are expected to transform the
landscape of traditional vehicle manufacturers. Whereas some new
entrants in the space are focused on competing directly with the
OEMs, EVT is focused on operating EV brands and EV assembly in
niche markets that typically have higher margins and require less
capital expenditure than mass market electric vehicles. A first
step in realizing this strategy was EVT’s partnership with MOKE
International Limited (“MIL”). MIL is the official
producer of MOKE vehicles since 1964 and is coming out with the
Moke Electric for the summer of 2022. Through Moke France SAS
(“MOKE France”), an EVT subsidiary, EVT will be
MIL’s dealer and distribution partner in France and have placed
pre-orders for the MOKE vehicles for distribution and rental in
France. EVT is further building out the EV portfolio and merging
with BSI was the right avenue for pursuing that growth.
“By becoming a publicly-traded company, we gain
access to the capital markets and public market investors can enjoy
the benefits of investing in a diversified vertically integrated EV
company,” said Wouter Witvoet, Co-Founder and CEO of EVT. “I am
excited to partner up once more with Olivier Roussy Newton,
Co-Founder and President of EVT, and am thrilled with some of the
plans the team has put together.”
Proposed RTO
The RTO is expected to be completed by way of a
share exchange, amalgamation or other form of business combination
determined by the legal and tax advisors to each of the Company and
the Target, which will result in the Target becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the “Resulting
Issuer”). The Resulting Issuer will carry on the business
previously carried on by EVT upon completion of the RTO. The LOI
contemplates that BSI and the Target will promptly negotiate and
enter into a definitive agreement (the “Definitive
Agreement”), together with such other documents that may
be required to affect such filings, authorizations and applications
as are required in order to formalize and execute the terms of the
RTO as outlined in the LOI. The LOI contemplates that if the
Definitive Agreement is subject to the receipt of all necessary
third-party approvals and the standard terms and conditions
concerning the due diligence review of the Target, including
financial statements, potential liabilities and material contracts.
The LOI further contemplates that all of the common shares in the
capital of the Target will be exchanged for common shares of the
Company at a ratio resulting in the shareholders of the Target,
owning approximately 90% of the Resulting Issuer and the
shareholders of the Company owning approximately 10% of the
Resulting Issuer on an undiluted basis, not including any shares to
be issued pursuant to the private placement financing discussed
below. The RTO does not constitute a non-arm’s length
transaction.
As of the date hereof, BSI’s authorized capital
consists of an unlimited number of BSI common shares (“BSI
Shares”), of which 30,884,961 are issued and outstanding.
BSI has no options and no warrants outstanding. Prior
to closing of the RTO, it is anticipated that certain liabilities
of BSI will be settled for BSI Shares, resulting in an additional
approximately 10,005,362 BSI Shares, subject to any requisite
approvals of the TSXV. The BSI common shares will be consolidated
on a 4:1 basis such that post consolidation (the
“Consolidation”) there will be approximately
10,222,580 BSI Shares issued and outstanding.
As of the date hereof, the Target’s authorized
capital consists of an unlimited number of Target common shares, of
which 19,175,000 are issued and outstanding. The Target has no
options and no warrants outstanding. The 19,175,000 Target common
shares will be exchanged for 90,000,000 Resulting Issuer common
shares upon the closing of the RTO (the “Closing”)
at a deemed price of $1.00 per Resulting Issuer common share. Not
including shares to be issued pursuant to the private placement
financing discussed below, it is anticipated that there will be a
total of approximately 100,222,580 Resulting Issuer common shares
issued and outstanding on Closing.
The Board of Directors of the Resulting Issuer
is expected to be comprised of five members, with one member
nominated by the Company and four members nominated by the Target.
Additional information in connection with the RTO will be provided
by the Company in subsequent press releases.
The completion of the RTO is subject to the
receipt of all necessary approvals, including without limitation
Target shareholder approval of the RTO and regulatory approval for
the listing of the common shares of the Company on the NEO and the
concurrent delisting of the common shares of BSI from the NEX. BSI
shall also convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders to, as
applicable, (i) pass a special resolution approving the
Consolidation; (ii) pass a special resolution approving any change
of BSI; (iii) elect directors of the Resulting Issuer; (iv) obtain
majority of the minority approval from its shareholders for the
delisting of the BSI Shares from the NEX pursuant to the policies
of the TSXV and (v) approve such other matters as BSI may deem
necessary or advisable. delisting of BSI from the TSXV and the
listing of the Resulting Issuer on the NEO will be subject to all
applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals. Application for
listing has not been made to the NEO and no representation is made
that a NEO listing will be obtained.
Aside from the receipt of the shareholder and
regulatory approvals outlined above, the completion of the RTO will
also be subject to other conditions precedent, including the
representations and warranties to be contained in the Definitive
Agreement continuing to be accurate with no material change to
either the Company or the Target and the completion of a private
placement financing by EVT for gross proceeds of at least
$5,000,000. Full details of the proposed financing will be included
in a subsequent press release. BSI intends that the BSI Shares will
remain halted for trading following the issuance of this press
release.
