ETV.H Evermount Ventures Inc

Video Commerce To Close Upsized Private Placement of $15,000,000

VANCOUVER, BC, June 21, 2021 /CNW/ - Evermount Ventures Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV: ETV.H), a capital pool company, is pleased to provide an update on its Qualifying Transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Video Commerce Group Limited ("VCG" d.b.a. "OOOOO") pursuant to a Securities Exchange Agreement dated September 1, 2020, as amended. 

Upsize to Transaction Financing

The parties have agreed to increase the transaction financing (the "Transaction Financing") from $12 million to $15 million. Pursuant to the amended terms of the Transaction Financing, VCG shall issue 13,474,250 Subscription Receipts on the same terms as previously announced, for gross proceeds of $10,779,400. Additionally, VCG has issued ordinary shares in the capital of VCG (each, a "VCG Share") at a price of $0.80 per share for gross proceeds of $4,229,400 (the "Ordinary Share Issuance") to an arm's length strategic investor. The VCG Shares issued pursuant to the Ordinary Share Issuance will be converted into 5,286,750 Subordinate Voting Shares ("SVS") of the resulting issuer on closing of the Qualifying Transaction. VCG expects to utilize up to $2,400,000 of the proceeds from the Ordinary Share Issuance prior to closing of the Qualifying Transaction for recruiting Creators, additional studio space and for general corporate purposes, with the balance being available to the resulting issuer on closing of the Qualifying Transaction. The resulting issuer plans to add the remaining funds from the upsized private placement of approximately $600,000 to its unallocated working capital.

In connection with the over-subscribed Transaction Financing, the Company has engaged certain finders who will receive fees in addition to those disclosed in the Company's filing statement dated March 10, 2021. The parties have agreed to pay such finders a cash commission of 8% on the gross proceeds raised by such finders for total cash fees of $530,928. The parties have also agreed to additionally provide certain of such finders with broker warrants to acquire SVS of the resulting issuer for a period of one year from the closing of the Qualifying Transaction at a price of $0.80 per SVS (the "Broker Warrants") in an amount equal to 8% of the number of Subscription Receipts placed by such finders. A total of 478,360 Broker Warrants will be issued to such finders. The finders fees, payable in shares and or broker warrants are as follows:

Subsequent to filing of the Company's Filing Statement, certain shareholders of VCG ("VCG Shareholders") holding 240 VCG Shares voluntarily agreed to cancel their VCG Shares to VCG and an arm's length party purchased 212 VCG Shares from treasury for a total of US$200,000, reflecting a price per resulting issuer share equivalent to $0.44. Accordingly, there are now 19,666 VCG Shares outstanding that will be converted into 52,440,966 shares of the resulting issuer ("OOOOO Shares"). The reduction in the number of VCG Shares to be exchanged into the 52,440,966 OOOOO Shares results in a new exchange ratio of 2,666.5802. Accordingly, the Value Escrowed Securities shall be comprised of 17,332,133 OOOOO Shares held by Sam Jones, representing 22% of the total issued and outstanding OOOOO Shares on closing of the Qualifying Transaction, and 2,525,661 OOOOO Shares held by Eric Zhang, representing 3.2% of the issued and outstanding OOOOO Shares on closing of the Qualifying Transaction.

The total number of OOOOO Shares expected to be outstanding on closing of the Qualifying Transaction is 78,760,984, consisting of an aggregate of 61,428,213 SVS and 17,332,771 Multiple Voting Shares. All of the issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares will, directly or indirectly, be held or controlled by Samuel Jones.

The fully diluted share capital of the resulting issuer on closing is expected to be as follows:

The TSX Venture Exchange has granted the Company a 30-day extension to July 10, 2021 for the completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The parties expect to close the Qualifying Transaction on or about July 8, 2021.

The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
