Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 9, 2022) - Dinamic IP Holdings Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a business combination with Atelier Meats Corp. ("Atelier"), a private company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.
About Atelier
Atelier is a biotechnology company dedicated to developing quality lab-grown meats with patent pending technologies and is led by an experienced management team. Atelier's mission is to produce healthy and environmental conscious proteins for the world, without harming animals in the process.
Summary of the Business Combination
Pursuant to the Business Combination, the Company and Atelier are expected to complete an arm's length business combination (the "Business Combination") pursuant to an amalgamation agreement entered into December 1, 2022 (the "Amalgamation Agreement").
The Business Combination is structured as a three-cornered amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA"), pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of Atelier ("Subco"), which has been incorporated solely for the purposes of the Business Combination, will amalgamate with the Company and continue as a corporation under the BCBCA ("Amalco"), with the result being that Amalco will be the wholly-owned subsidiary of Atelier. Each holder of common shares in the Company (each a "Company Shareholder"), other than Company Shareholders who exercise their Dissent Rights (as defined below) will receive one (1) common share in the capital of Atelier (the "Atelier Shares") for each 33.26 shares of the Company they currently hold.
The completion of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including, without limitation: (i) the approval of the Business Combination and other matters contemplated therein by the requisite majority of the applicable shareholders; (ii) the approval of the Company, Subco and Atelier's board of directors; and (iii) other conditions customary for a transaction of this nature. There can be no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed as proposed or at all.
If the requisite conditions are satisfied and the Business Combination is consummated, it is currently proposed that the Amalco will make an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission, as principal regulator, under National Policy 11-206 - Process for Cease to be a Reporting Issuer Applications to cease to be a reporting issuer in its reporting jurisdictions ("Order Sought"). If the Order Sought is granted, Amalco will cease to be a reporting issuer in its reporting jurisdictions.
Shareholders Meeting of the Company
An annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company will be held on January 5, 2023 (the "Meeting") to, among other things, seek approval from the shareholders of the Company for a special resolution regarding the Amalgamation of the Company with Subco, resulting in the indirect acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company by Subco and issuance of Atelier shares to the shareholders of the Company. A management information circular dated December 5, 2022 (the "Circular") regarding the Meeting and the details of the Amalgamation will be delivered to shareholders of the Company and will be available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Shareholders Dissent Rights
Pursuant to the BCBCA, if any shareholder of the Company dissents to the Amalgamation and the Amalgamation becomes effective, those shareholders are entitled to be paid the fair value of such shares by the Company in accordance with the dissent rights ("Dissent Rights") in Section 237 through Section 247 of the BCBCA. The fair value of such shareholder's shares will be determined as of the close of business on the business day before the adoption of the Amalgamation and will be paid by the Company. The statutory provisions dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Shareholders who wish to exercise their Dissent Rights should seek independent legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of Section 237 through Section 247 of the BCBCA, may result in the loss of Dissent Rights. A brief summary of the Dissent Rights, which are for general information purposes only, are disclosed in the Circular.
Additional Information
Further details about the Business Combination will be provided in the Circular. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Circular (or other disclosure document prepared by the Company) in connection with the Business Combination, any information released or received with respect to the Business Combination may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.
