Greyhound Commissary, Inc. (OTCBB:GHND) has consummated a share
exchange transaction and concurrent US $7.67 million private
placement pursuant to which it acquired the parent company of
Guangzhou Tanke Industry Co., Ltd. ("Tanke"). Greyhound
Commissary, Inc. has changed its name to Tanke BioSciences
Corporation (OTCBB:TNBI) to reflect the company's new business.
Based in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, Tanke, is one of
the leading animal nutrition and innovative feed additive providers
in China. Tanke is a PRC government certified high tech
company that is engaged in the development, manufacturing and
distribution of environmentally-friendly feed additive products
that are designed to optimize the growth and health of livestock
such as pigs and cattle, as well as farmed fish. Tanke
produces 21 branded feed additives and each brand is available in
seven different mixes that correspond to different stages of an
animal's or fish's life cycle. One of Tanke's most popular products
is an organic trace mineral additive that is believed to be one of
the few Chinese-developed organic products in the trace mineral
market. All of Tanke's products are environmentally
friendly and compatible with China's drive to modernize livestock
production and develop a safer food supply. Tanke has more
than 150 employees, including 43 in sales and marketing and 30 in
research and development.
In the share exchange transaction, the shareholder of China
Flying Development Limited, a Hong Kong incorporated company which
is Tanke's indirect parent company, exchanged all of its shares in
China Flying for 10,758,000 newly issued shares of Greyhound
representing approximately 82.77% of the outstanding shares of
Greyhound prior to the private placement. As a result
of the share exchange, China Flying is a directly held,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Greyhound.
Pursuant to the share exchange transaction, Greyhound's
directors and officers resigned and Mr. Guixiong Qiu, Tanke's CEO,
was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer of Greyhound as well as, subject to compliance
with applicable SEC rules, its sole director.
In the private placement, 6,669,627 units at $1.15 per unit were
sold to accredited investors, resulting in gross proceeds of $7.67
million. Net proceeds to the company are expected to be
approximately $5.82 million. Each unit consists of a $1.15
principal amount, two year 8% Senior Convertible Note and a three
year Warrant to purchase one share of Greyhound common stock at an
exercise price of $1.40 per share, subject to certain
conditions.
Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. acted as the lead placement agent for
the private placement.
Assuming full conversion of the notes and the exercise of the
warrants, the investors in the offering would own approximately
48.9% of the outstanding shares of the company and the former Tanke
shareholders would own approximately 36.6 % of the outstanding
shares of the company.
Pursuant to a "make good" arrangement, the former shareholders
of Tanke agreed to deposit an aggregate of 2 million shares of
company common stock in escrow to be issued to either the former
shareholder of China Flying or the investors in the
offering. If Tanke does not achieve certain net income targets
for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2011 and 2012, the
investors in the offering will receive an aggregate of 1 million
shares, on a pro rata basis, for each year that Tanke did not
achieve the net income target.
Among other obligations to the private placement investors, the
company will be required to register the shares of common stock
underlying the notes and warrants for public resale, appoint a
board of directors comprised of a majority of independent
directors, and appoint a new, English speaking Chief Financial
Officer.
"We have built Tanke from the beginning with a view to becoming
a leader in the field of feed additives in China and beyond,"
stated Mr. Qiu. "Tanke's emphasis on research and development
and our focus on customer service have served to build strong ties
with our customers, which include 500 of the top animal growing
farms in China. Tanke's story is one of a growing demand for
protein by a population gaining a higher standard of living and a
population demanding safe and nutritious food."
Mr. Qiu also explained that, "Tanke is a provider of
environmentally-friendly and innovative feed additives, and we
believe that sales will rapidly increase as more large-scale farms,
feed processing and feed production companies in China seek
'Pollution-Free' and 'Green Food' certifications from the Chinese
government. The potential growth of Tanke's business, both top
line and bottom line, solely based on this demand in China, should
provide for significant value for our public shareholders. We
understand that one of our primary goals is to increase shareholder
value."
Additional information regarding the share exchange, the private
placement, the terms of the notes and warrants, and Tanke's
business, including Tanke's audited financial statements, will be
disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed
by Greyhound with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
