Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 24, 2021) - Sayward Capital Corp. (TSXV: SAWC.P) ("Sayward") is pleased to announce that, in connection with its previously announced qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") with Field Safe Solutions Inc. ("Field Safe"), Field Safe has launched a brokered private placement (the "Field Safe Private Placement") led by Echelon Capital Markets and Cormark Securities Inc. (the "Lead Agents"), as lead agents, on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Haywood Securities Inc., Hampton Securities Ltd. and Fort Capital Partners Ltd. (collectively with the Lead Agents, the "Agents"), of subscription receipts of Field Safe (the "Field Safe Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000. The Field Safe Subscription Receipts will be issued at a price between $7.25 and $8.00 per Field Safe Subscription Receipt, to be determined in the context of the market. Field Safe has granted the Agents an option to sell such number of additional Field Safe Subscription Receipts as is equal to 15% of the number of Field Safe Subscription Receipts issuable under the Field Safe Private Placement, which option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date of the Field Safe Private Placement.
The Field Safe Subscription Receipts will be created and issued pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be entered into between Odyssey Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), Field Safe, Sayward and the Lead Agents, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Agents. Each Field Safe Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted, without payment of additional consideration or further action by the holder thereof, into one Class A Common share in the capital of Field Safe, subject to adjustment in certain events, immediately before the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain Escrow Release Conditions (as defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement) at or before 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the date that is 120 days following the closing date of the Field Safe Private Placement.
In consideration for their services in connection with the Field Safe Private Placement, and pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") to be entered into between Field Safe and the Lead Agents, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Agents, Field Safe will pay the Agents a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Field Safe Subscription Receipts (the "Agents' Commission"), 50% of which commission will be paid on the closing date of the Field Safe Private Placement and the remaining 50% of which commission will be deposited in escrow with the Subscription Receipt Agent.
Upon closing of the Field Safe Private Placement, the aggregate gross subscription proceeds from the Field Safe Private Placement, less: (i) 50% of the Agents' Commission; and (ii) the Agents' expenses incurred in connection with, and prior to closing of, the Field Safe Private Placement, shall be delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent to be held in escrow in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement (the "Escrowed Funds").
Upon satisfaction or waiver in whole or in part by the Lead Agents, on behalf of the Agents, of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Subscription Receipt Agent will release from the Escrowed Funds: (a) to the Agents, in cash, the balance of the Agent's Commission (the "Escrowed Subscription Receipt Commission Amount") put into escrow upon closing of the Field Safe Private Placement and the amount equal to all Agents' expenses incurred in connection with the Field Safe Private Placement and not previously paid to the Agents; and (b) to Field Safe, all remaining Escrowed Funds and interest earned thereon (less any amounts payable to the Subscription Receipt Agent) in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement.
If a Termination Event (as defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement) occurs and the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied: (a) each Field Safe Subscription Receipt will be automatically terminated and cancelled and each subscriber will be entitled to receive out of the Escrowed Funds and interest earned thereon, an amount equal to the aggregate issue price in respect of such subscriber's Field Safe Subscription Receipts, less applicable withholding taxes, if any; (b) all expenses incurred by the Agents not previously paid to the Agents on the closing date of the Field Safe Private Placement will be paid to the Agents; and (c) the Escrowed Subscription Receipt Commission Amount will not be earned and will not be payable by Field Safe to the Agents. To the extent that the Escrowed Funds and interest earned thereon is not sufficient to return the aggregate issue price for the Field Safe Subscription Receipts held by each subscriber, Field Safe will contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any shortfall.
It is intended that the net proceeds from the Field Safe Private Placement will be used for certain capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes following completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
