DevCorp Capital Inc. Announces Acquisition of Good to Go Rentals Ltd. and Neigum Hot Oilers Ltd. as Its Qualifying Transaction

DevCorp Capital Inc. Announces Acquisition of Good to Go Rentals Ltd. and Neigum Hot Oilers Ltd. as Its Qualifying Transaction

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 21, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES

DevCorp Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DCC.P) ("DevCorp") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated May 21, 2013 (the "Letter Agreement") to acquire Good to Go Rentals Ltd. ("GTGR") and Neigum Hot Oilers Ltd. ("GTGT" and together with GTGR, "GTG"). GTGR is a private Saskatchewan oilfield rental and services company based out of Kindersley, Saskatchewan and GTGT is a private Saskatchewan trucking company based out of Kindersley, Saskatchewan. If completed, the proposed transaction will constitute DevCorp's Qualifying Transaction as set forth in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV" or the "Exchange").

The Proposed Transaction

The structure of the proposed arm's length transaction will be determined by mutual agreement of the parties and is expected to take the form of a reverse take-over, three cornered amalgamation, merger, plan of arrangement or other form of business combination (the "Proposed Transaction") resulting in the creation of a new company ("Resultco"), with a name to be determined by the parties and at a future date. The parties have agreed that the structure will ultimately permit (i) the holders of GTG shares (the "GTG Shares") to collectively receive 60,000,000 common shares of Resultco (each one a "Resultco Share") for all of the issued and outstanding GTG Shares, at a deemed value of $0.20 per Resultco Share for aggregate deemed consideration of $12,000,000; (ii) the holders of GTG Shares to collectively receive, cash payable in the aggregate consideration of $12,000,000; and (iii) subject to Resultco having achieved certain milestones, performance bonus of up to $1,000,000 in cash and up to $1,000,000 Resultco Shares, payable and issuable at a price based on a 90 day average trading price of Resultco Shares, on each of the first and second anniversary of closing.

GTGT has been operating from Kindersley Saskatchewan since 1991, originally operating as a hot oiler and general oil field hauling company. In the late 1990's GTGT started offering a limited equipment rental service with their trucking operation. Due to the success of the rental business, GTGR was formed with an expanded rental offering in 2005. Currently, GTGT provides a full suite of equipment rentals including tanks, rig matting, blow back tanks, drilling surface rentals, generators and light towers. GTGR is controlled by Norm Neigum and Dean Dorsett and GTGT is controlled by Darla Dorsett.

Private Placement

In conjunction with the Proposed Transaction, it is contemplated that the parties will complete a private placement (the "Offering") for net proceeds of a minimum of $8,000,000. The Offering shall consist of a combination of issuance of Resultco Shares at a price of $0.20 per Resultco Share and debt financing, with such debt financing not to exceed 60% of the gross amount raised under the Offering. Any agent under the Offering will be entitled to receive a cash commission and agent's options.

DevCorp shall also be permitted, subject to the maximum amount that may be raised pursuant to the debt financing, to issue convertible debentures in conjunction with the Offering or Proposed Transaction. If convertible debentures are issued under the Offering, further news release will be issued setting forth its terms.

Summary of Financial Information for GTGR

The following are summaries of certain significant financial information derived from unaudited management prepared financial statements for GTGR as at and for years ended July 31, 2011 and 2012 and for the 9 months ended April 30, 2013:

Revenue $ 4,527,163 $ 6,887,036 $ 6,887,036 $ 8,285,639 $ 8,285,639
Expenses $ 2,796,790 $ 4,842,583 $ 2,697,583 $ 5,569,040 $ 2,688,040
Net Income $ 1,297,944 $ 1,583,258 $ 3,728,258 $ 2,255,405 $ 5,136,405
EBITDA $ 2,351,058 $ 3,084,342 $ 5,229,342 $ 3,754,706 $ 6,635,706
Notes:
(1) Expenses have been adjusted to account for disproportionate management wages and bonuses that were used by the owners as a means to remove excess cash from the businesses in 2012 and 2013 Trailing Twelve Months ("TTM"), which is not expected to re-occur in the future. These wages and bonuses totalled $2,385,000 in 2012 and $3,145,000 in 2013 TTM for GTGR. Management wages of $240,000 for 2012 and $264,000 for 2013 TTM have been added into the expenses for GTGR, which DevCorp believes are more reflective of industry wages and bonuses. The net adjustment to expenses in 2012 is $2,145,000 and 2013 is $2,881,000 for GTGR. As a result of the lower expenses, both adjusted Net Income and adjusted EBITDA figures are higher in the adjusted 2012 and 2013 TTM figures.
(2) EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for other non-recurring items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. DevCorp believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures, which provide an indication of the results generated by GTGR's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or taxed. Readers are cautioned, however, that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to comprehensive income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of GTGR's financial performance.
