("AIM4") and TRC Management Holdings Corp. ("TRC"), AIM4 completed its previously announced qualifying transaction with TRC (the "Qualifying Transaction"), as described in AIM4's filing statement dated November 27, 2020 available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com (the "Filing Statement").

The Qualifying Transaction was completed by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA").
Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, and in connection with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company was formed by the amalgamation of AIM4, TRC and 2775554 Ontario Inc. ("HCP"). The common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") are scheduled to begin trading as a Tier 1 issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on December 30, 2020 under the trading symbol "THNK".
In connection with the Arrangement, among other things:
TRC satisfied the escrow release conditions of the previously announced $33 million private placement offering ("Offering") of TRC subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") and the escrowed funds, net of outstanding commissions and expenses payable, were released to and as directed by TRC;
AIM4 consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on a 24.76125 to 1 basis;
TRC completed its previously announced acquisition of HCP;
AIM4 acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of TRC; and
AIM4 amalgamated with TRC and HCP, to form the Company and adopted a new long-term incentive plan.
Upon completion of the Arrangement, there will be approximately 35,870,802 Common Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis and 36,333,903 Common Shares issued and outstanding on a fully-diluted basis. The Common Shares will be owned as follows: (1) approximately 98.8% by former TRC shareholders (including former holders of Subscription Receipts) and approximately 1.2% by former AIM4 shareholders, on an undiluted basis; and (2) approximately 98.6% by former TRC shareholders (including former holders of Subscription Receipts), former holders of TRC options and former holders of TRC warrants and approximately 1.4% by former AIM4 shareholders, former holders of AIM4 options and former holders of AIM4 warrants, on a fully diluted basis.
As previously announced, TRC completed the Offering for gross proceeds of $32,998,269. In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, the 7,096,402 Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Offering were automatically converted into 7,096,402 common shares of TRC. Pursuant to the Arrangement, each such common share of TRC was ultimately exchanged for one Common Share. The brokered portion of the Offering was co-led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Cormark Securities Inc, as co-lead agents and co-lead bookrunners. The agents received $1,941,191.32 aggregate commission in respect of the brokered portion of the Offering.
The Company also announces that Sam Ifergan is retiring as a director of the Company following completion of the Arrangement. Following the Arrangement, the Company's board of directors consists of six directors, namely Cindy Gray, Barry Reiter, Richard Wells, Kirstine Stewart, Abe Schwartz and Sachin Aggarwal. Following Mr. Ifergan's departure, Kirstine Stewart will serve on the audit committee of the Company. The Company thanks Mr. Ifergan for his service on the Company's board of directors and his support over the past several years enabling the Company to reach this milestone transaction.
In addition, the Company has reached agreement with National Bank of Canada for the continuance of TRC's existing secured operating line of credit. The line of credit is in the amount of $10 million and has a nil balance outstanding. The facility expires on June 30, 2021 and contains terms, conditions, covenants and restrictions typical for a facility of this nature. The Company does not currently intend to draw on the facility.
