Jaguar Announces Proposed RTO with Maritime Launch Services Toronto, ON, November 5, 2021/ Jaguar Financial Corporation (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) and Maritime Launch Services Ltd. (“MLS”) are pleased to announce the execution of a binding letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) which, subject to certain conditions and applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals, will result in a reverse takeover of Jaguar by MLS (the “Proposed Transaction”). The resulting issuer from the Proposed Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer”) will carry on the current business of Maritime Launch. About Maritime Launch (MLS) Maritime Launch is a Canadian-owned commercial aerospace company based in Nova Scotia. Maritime Launch is developing Canada’s first commercial orbital launch site that will provide satellite delivery services to clients, in support of the growing commercial space transportation industry over a wide range of inclinations. The development of this facility will allow the Cyclone-4M and other prospective launch vehicles to place their satellites into low-earth orbit. Maritime Launch’s suppliers, Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash, are the developers of the Cyclone-4M payload delivery system and they are proven leaders in the aerospace industry with over 65 years of experience with 876 successful launches to date. With satellite clients within Canada and around the globe interested in Maritime Launch’s offering, and a principal launch vehicle developer in Ukraine, Maritime Launch is joining a global industry that is projected to exceed one trillion dollars annually within the next 20 years. The Letter Agreement Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Proposed Transaction is anticipated to be completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the Companies Act (Nova Scotia), whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of Jaguar will amalgamate with MLS. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, Jaguar will reconstitute its board of directors and senior officers to be comprised of the nominees of MLS (the “Board and Management Rotation”), and will change its name to one determined by MLS in its sole discretion (the “Name Change”) and the Resulting Issuer will conduct its business under the new name. The Letter Agreement includes a number of conditions, including but not limited to, requisite shareholder approvals including the approval of the shareholders of MLS, the completion of the Name Change and the Board and Management Rotation, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Proposed Transaction and other closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Proposed Transaction.
