Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "Tranzeo") (TSX:TZT.H) and Charlotte Resources Ltd. ("Charlotte") (CSE:CHT) announce that Tranzeo and Charlotte have completed their business combination (the "Business Combination") pursuant to the plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") adopted pursuant to the business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") between Tranzeo and Charlotte dated March 3, 2014, as amended. The Business Combination was described in the Joint Information Circular of Tranzeo and Charlotte dated April 25, 2014. Shareholders of Tranzeo and Charlotte approved the Business Combination at the respective meetings of shareholders on May 26, 2014. The final order of the British Columbia Supreme Court to the completion of the Plan of Arrangement required to give effect to the Business Combination was granted on June 4, 2014.
Arrangement
Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Tranzeo amalgamated with a wholly owned subsidiary of Charlotte that was incorporated to give effect to the Business Combination. The amalgamated company is named "Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Inc." and continues as a wholly owned subsidiary of Charlotte. Tranzeo's business operations will continue to be carried on by the amalgamated company.
Share Exchange
Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, each shareholder of Tranzeo has been issued one common share of Charlotte for each 7.5 common shares of Tranzeo owned. In aggregate, Charlotte issued approximately 9,676,460 common shares in exchange for the previously outstanding 72,573,450 common shares of Tranzeo.
An additional 1,200,000 common shares were issued to a finder in connection with the acquisition.
Private Placement
Charlotte completed a private placement concurrent with the completion of the Business Combination pursuant to which it has issued an aggregate of 10,643,331 units (each a "Unit").

Each Charlotte share purchase warrant (each a "Charlotte Warrant") entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of Charlotte at a price of $0.225 per share for a period of three years expiring July 3, 2017. Aggregate gross proceeds of $1,596,500 were raised by Charlotte as a result of completion of the private placement, of which $400,000 was attributable to the conversion of the $400,000 loan previously advanced to Tranzeo by certain investors in connection with the Business Combination Agreement into private placement units.
Charlotte paid finder's fees aggregating $62,055 and issued 413,700 Charlotte Warrants to finders in connection with the completion of the private placement.
