/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2017 /CNW/ - Further to its news release dated July 25, 2017, 22 Capital Corp. (TSXV: LFC.P) ("22 Capital") has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") whereby 22 Capital issued 2,666,667 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.1875 (the "Issue Price") per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 (the "Offering").
The gross proceeds from the Offering (the "Escrowed Funds") will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the completion of 22 Capital's qualifying transaction (the "Transaction") with nDivision Inc., including, without limitation, the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the Transaction; and (ii) 22 Capital having delivered a direction to the escrow agent to the Offering confirming that the conditions set forth above in item (i) have been met or waived (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert, without any further consideration or action on the part of the holder thereof, into 0.416666667 of a common share of 22 Capital.
If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied by 5:00 p.m. (Torontotime) on November 30, 2017, each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically terminated and cancelled without any further action on the part of the holder, and the Escrowed Funds shall be returned to the holders of Subscription Receipts on a pro rata basis. To the extent that the Escrowed Funds are not sufficient to refund the aggregate Issue Price paid by the holders of the Subscription Receipts, 22 Capital will be responsible and liable to contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any shortfall.
Assuming the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied, the net proceeds from the Offering will be used for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
Three insiders of 22 Capital participated in the Offering, thereby making the Offering a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Messrs. Steven Mintz, Marc Lustig and Jay Goldman, each a director of 22 Capital (collectively, the "Insiders"), or companies wholly-owned by such persons, purchased 160,000, 156,669 and 240,000 Subscription Receipts, respectively, representing, in the aggregate, 25% of the outstanding Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering. 22 Capital was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insiders' participation in the Offering in reliance of sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101. 22 Capital did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Offering, as the details of the Insiders' participation had not been confirmed at that time.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period.
Trading Halt
The common shares of 22 Capital are currently halted from trading and are to remain halted from trading until resumption of trading is approved by the TSXV.

Further details regarding the Transaction will be provided in a filing statement (the "Filing Statement") prepared and filed by 22 Capital in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSXV and filed under 22 Capital's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 22 Capital expects to complete and file the Filing Statement in October, 2017. The Transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.
