DevCorp Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DCC.P) ("DevCorp" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that further to DevCorp's press releases dated June 20, 2013, September 3, 2013, October 22, 2013 and October 28, 2013, on October 31, 2013 the Corporation has closed its qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") which was effected pursuant to an amalgamation agreement dated effective October 28, 2013 among the Corporation, 1768399 Alberta Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DevCorp ("DevCorp Subco"), Good to Go Rentals Ltd. ("GTGR") and Neigum Hot Oilers (1992) Ltd.("GTGT" and together with GTGR, "GTG") (the "Amalgamation Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, DevCorp (the "Resulting Issuer") acquired: (a) all of the issued and outstanding shares of GTGR ("GTGR Shares") by way of amalgamation between DevCorp Subco and GTGR, following which the amalgamated company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of DevCorp; and (b) all of the issued and outstanding shares of GTGT ("GTGT Shares"), which did not amalgamate with DevCorp Subco but remained as a wholly owned subsidiary of DevCorp Subco following the amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") between GTGR and DevCorp Subco. Regarding the detailed terms of the Qualifying Transaction and the considerations paid by DevCorp thereunder, please see DevCorp's press release dated October 28, 2013, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
As all of the conditions of the Amalgamation were met on October 31, 2013 prior to the escrow deadline set out under the subscription receipt agreement dated September 3, 2013 among GTGR, DevCorp, Olympia Trust Company, Canaccord Genuity Corp, Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. and MGI Securities, the proceeds from the 50,000,000 subscription receipt private placement of GTGR (the "Subscription Receipts") was released from escrow to the Resulting Issuer and each of the Subscription Receipts were converted, without additional payment or further action on the part of the holders thereof, through a series of transactions, into one Resulting Issuer Share. For further details on the private placement please refer to DevCorp's press release dated September 3, 2013, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
As previously announced on October 22, 2013 and on October 28, 2013, the Resulting Issuer intends to call a meeting of its shareholders to change its name to "Great Prairie Energy Services Inc." The trading symbol, "GPE" has been reserved with the Exchange in anticipation of such proposed name change. With the Resulting Issuer's initial focus on the prairies of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba, the management and the Board believe the new proposed name illustrates the Resulting Issuer's vision to acquire and expand the business in Saskatchewan and western Canada.
GTGR is a Saskatchewan oilfield rental company based out of Kindersley, Saskatchewan and GTGT is a Saskatchewan trucking company based out of Kindersley, Saskatchewan. For further details of the Subscription Receipt private placement and the Qualifying Transaction, please see the Filing Statement available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
In accordance with the policies of the Exchange, the DevCorp Shares are currently halted from trading. It is expected that the DevCorp Shares will resume trading on the Exchange on or about November 6, 2013 under the stock symbol "DCC".
